    Stay away from this one, unless you're willing to be frustrated by the paywalls in the game. The starter pack only lets you obtain 2 minikits out of 10 per story level, and only access three hub worlds out of a dozen. Everything else comes at 15,20 or 30$ a pop. It's very annoying to see how often a gold cube, which tells you you need a premium character, pops.

    I really love Lego games and I'm 50 yo and with a nice disposable income; so this game is really fine-tuned to empty my wallet. There is much to love here; the main story, the adventure worlds, the actual building of lego toys. That and a sweet humor that just hits the right spot is together wit easy co-op where one other player can drop in or out whenever is really the best parts.

    From my point of view the main problem is not the price or all the very obviously locked areas that requires you to by yet another figure or set, but the wast differences between the different adventure-lands; they are at the same time very different and very much the same (there are just so many kinds of side quests to do, so many ways of building a small but comprehensive version of a world). I kind of miss the very big and varied world of Lego City Undercover; that game's mix of lego-game humor and a GTA size map was a stunner.

    Humor
    Easy multiplayer
    Great worlds

    Game is buggy. One of the characters did not work. It seems that lego acknowledge this issue however the provided details on the support page do not solve the problem.

    Disappointing for the kids and frustrating to us parents.
    Going back to the shop.

Very high-quality and polished and most importantly - lots of fun! Yes, it is expensive (I bought all the level and team packs and some of the fun packs) but if your are also a LEGO brick fan then the value is just right.

    Regarding the LEGO, the micro builds are very intricate and feature building techniques that are often only used in more advanced sets. If a family is not familiar with LEGO they may even find them a challenge but actually it means that the brick-built LEGO models are very nice. It really does make you feel like your LEGO minifigs and sets have come to life. And that really puts a smile on the faces of my kids as well as on my own.

    The game is not perfect though. I really hope TT games adds more stuff to do in the beautiful open worlds (there is sufficient to do now for kids but for grownups the wow-factor quickly wares out). I also hope TT games one day learns how to squeeze out more power of the current-gen systems. As it is, the graphics are fine from an aesthetic point of view but technically speaking, with 2 players, there is frame-rate drop in some open worlds. Most notably the Lego Movie. This game is certainly not pushing the limits of the PS4 hardware when you compare it to other games so it must be that TT does not find this a priority. I hope one day they do since it would add to the polish. Just as long as it does not come at the expense of fun gameplay.

    From a gaming perspective then, I therefore knock-off from perfect 10 a point for the odd technical glitches (not enough to put you off mind you) and another point for the lack of sufficient adult fun stuff to do in the open worlds (think for example fun park stuff in GTA 5 that is missing in the fair ground of the Scooby Doo world).

    In conclusion, a solid 8 just like the other reviews. That for me means go buy it if you like LEGO games, the toys to life genre and especially if you love LEGO.    … Expand

    I'm not sure I have enough mehs to give this one.
    LEGO Dimensions is the new addition to the LEGO franchise, and does it do anything to spice up the series? No, not really. The mechanic of buying the figurines is still stupid, and can we all agree that this is a trend that needs to die? The game itself is dull and boring that it's hard to love having Batman in the Simpsons world. As    I'm not sure I have enough mehs to give this one.

The game itself is dull and boring that it's hard to love having Batman in the Simpsons world. As said before, it follows the same formula as past LEGO games. It has some genuine creativity with the levels, plenty of secrets to find, a pretty linear story, and a pretty well-thought out attempt to be funny. It really doesn't do all that much to be original, but it's still a LEGO game, and if you like those types of games with a new setting, this game may be for you, but it's not a game for me.

    Hire a hero makes it feel like you're playing a free to play / pay to win title despite the starter pack being almost $100. It's infuriating and completely ruins the experience, which otherwise is pretty cool.

    Warner Brothers brings out another Lego game but with a huge twist. Does it prevail or get stuck in a time loop? Let’s find out.

You start off with the starter pack of    Warner Brothers brings out another Lego game but with a huge twist. Does it prevail or get stuck in a time loop? Let’s find out.

    Story: Warner Brothers brings us Lego Dimensions, a game that features iconic pop culture, movie, TV, and video game characters by putting them all into one game where there paths cross and the must work together. You start off with the starter pack of characters that include Batman, Gandalf (Lord of the Rings), Wyldstyle (Lego Movie), and Supergirl (bonus on the ps4). These characters join together to stop Lord Vortech from merging all of the universes for him to control. You must build the portal with actual Lego pieces and place the four characters on the on the holders and then putting the holders on the portal platform which makes the characters appear in the game.

    Gameplay: This is not your typical Lego game; with other Lego games you are stuck in one universe, with Lego Dimensions you start each level by jumping into a vortex taking you to a famous level inspired by movies, television or video games such as The Wizard of Oz, The Simpsons (Which blew my mind), Back to the Future and so much more. With every level, there seemed to be a pattern of solving puzzles with certain characters, a boss fight at the end of the level, but the game forces you to utilize the portal to solve puzzles and defeat bosses. The only thing that really bugged me about this game was the hire a hero aspect, where in order to get a collectible or to do a certain action you have to spend 50,000 Lego pieces to hire a hero for only a minute which is really unfortunate.

    Verdict: Lego Dimensions is a game I anticipated to grow tired of very quickly, but it was extremely enjoyable; the gameplay, dialogue, and humor that came with it especially in each universe like the Simpsons and Back to the Future made this a uniquely enjoyable game. The fun does not end there: Adventure Time, Ghost Busters, Mission Impossible and Scooby Doo are just some of the worlds that players can experience through Lego Dimensions. This game is not just for kids but for all ages, so that they can visit the worlds they grew up with and, it has me hooked.

    Lego Dimensions 9.5/10
    A must buy.

Coming across gold bricks or parts of levels which you don't have the characters to do is rubbish and easily the worst aspect of this game.

    Lego Dimensions had a magnificent idea but failed to accomplish a single factor. The fact that you only get three characters a car and 15 levels with only 3 hub areas is not only baffling for a 100$ game but it absolutely makes this game feel like a cash grab.

The levels the puzzles and the hub areas in this game are amazing though and it’s sad that you can’t accomplish the entire thing because you don’t have the correct figure. The story is well made but the villain is just horrible there is no goal but to rule the world what petty. Even though the devs made more updates to improve the game, it actually made it worse, you **** had Portal and Sonic and you had to **** it up. Overall I don’t not recommend this cash grabbing piece of **** Of a game I’d recommend you to just buy the old lego games and stay away from this at all costs.
