    The latest Lego game is a typically crammed tribute to Marvel comic lore that buffs the well-worn formula up to a shine.

    It’s another Lego Marvel game with a so-so story leading to an immensely engaging open-world experience. That’s fine if you primarily play Lego games to collect all the things.

    Having loved Lego Marvel SH, I preordered this game as soon as I saw it was available. I figured $80 was worth it for the countless hours ofHaving loved Lego Marvel SH, I preordered this game as soon as I saw it was available. I figured $80 was worth it for the countless hours of entertainment that it was sure to bring. Boy was I disappointed.

    I first tried getting in to it right when it was released, and something just felt lacking so I figured I was just a little tired of Lego games at the time. The past week I've gotten back at it, and here's my thoughts.

    Pros:

    - a TON of characters, from the very popular to the obscure
    - A lot of variability amongst levels/stages
    - Some pretty clever puzzles, but not especially hard
    - A decent story, not sure if it's from the comics but it's quite clever
    - Great graphics, great dialogue, pretty good voice acting

    Cons

    - The UI is an absolute joke. Doing something as simple as viewing the characters you have unlocked is extremely difficult because they are not shown based on any sort of logic

    - There's nothing really new to show for, basically if you've played any other Lego game you know EXACTLY what you'll get; no surprises

    - No X-Men of FF. This is basically criminal and shows how absolutely brutal Disney is when it comes to licensing

    - A ton of bugs; everything from random dialogue that has no relevance to the current situation to spontaneously spawning in random locations. Basically made the game unplayable

    - As much as the story is interesting, it's also pretty boring. Every level is "meet boss, chase boss, kill boss". Chronopolis is not near as interesting as the open world of LMSH

    - the controls are absolutely pathetic. Switching to the character you want is way too diifficult and way too often pressing a button causes the game to think you briefly held the button so you do a competely different move

    - The AI is also pathetic. Your AI controlled team will not be anywhere near you most of the time when you change to them, or they'll be sitting on the edge of a cliff or something else stupid

    Overall, this game should not have been released as it is. Way too many issues, making it a chore to play and not recommended at all

I know that this isn't the best Lego marvel game. There is a lot of bugs, like characters simply spawning in front of you, characters teletransporting, going through walls. But still a good game. The story isn't the best too, but is a good excuse to put a lot of random characters together.
    The game has a lot of good characters, not only the classics (like Captain America, Iron man, hulk, etc), but characters from another dimensions. As a Marvel fan, i love the choice of characters, but i'm sad that any xmen or ff character is in the game.
    If you love lego games you have to try this one.

It doesn’t really break the mould from its predecessors but with everything on offer (and once you get past the control system) you’ll find yourself sinking hours upon hours into the game thanks to the extensive collectables and customisation on offer. The amazing writing, from the story to the characters themselves, make this a must have for anyone who loves Marvel. Full Review »
