Mar 23, 2017LEGO Worlds does an interesting job in standing out from the competition. It has had years to develop its own brand of digital block building, and for the most part it succeeds. Although its controls are a little fiddly, its freedom to build and explore are amazingly detailed.
-
Mar 17, 2017Quotation forthcoming.
-
Mar 16, 2017LEGO Worlds is a crafting game very easy to play and only limited by your imagination. Unfortunately, the game has some technical problems, such as popping.
-
Mar 15, 2017A LEGO game that allow us to create lots of different backgrounds using a very intuitive interface. Really fun, especially with another player.
-
Mar 14, 2017LEGO Worlds is a game about playing with LEGO and it works really well. It is very easy to pick up and play and in many ways the enjoyment you’ll get out of this game is limited only by your imagination.
-
Mar 13, 2017LEGO Worlds has the best ideas from both survival and crafting genres and adds the characteristic humour, colour and efficiency of TT Games products. This is the closest experience to play with real LEGO blocks, building, thinking, dismantling and creating. However, it lacks in length once compared to other games of the same genre.
-
Mar 13, 2017Lego Worlds is a welcome departure for everyone's favourite brick-based series of adventures. Although it can use some fine-tuning, what's here will provide fans hours of imagination-fueled fun.
-
CD-ActionApr 26, 2017I’m waiting for Lego Worlds to be thoroughly patched (right now it suffers from some technical issues and the camera is seriously annoying) and I intend to revisit it on regular basis as a perfect family game. [05/2017, p.54]
-
Mar 19, 2017The problem however is that the two parts of the game, the open building, and the linear story, just don’t seem to mesh very well.
-
Mar 17, 2017Clicks together beautifully like LEGO, but you might be searching for that final elusive brick.
-
Apr 10, 2017A cheery and extensive world-building game that has unfortunately been swamped by busy work and glitches.
-
Apr 7, 2017Lego Worlds is a colorful and lively sandbox, but with too many technical problems and with cumbersome gameplay.
-
Mar 24, 2017LEGO Worlds is a nice building game, offering a complete experience packed with some humor, but it lacks diversity in its environments and missions, and sometimes suffers from its bad camera.
-
Mar 23, 2017Overall, LEGO Worlds is a LEGO game many fans of the franchise have been waiting for. Between the robust create tools and ability to discover randomly generated worlds, LEGO Worlds offers a ton of great fun. While it’s not nearly as addictive or simple as a game like Minecraft, it should be viewed as a different take on the Create-Your-Own-World genre. The game is unfortunately brought down by it’s floaty and odd controls, but having thousands of classic LEGOs in the game can make up for it if you’re looking for a nostalgic LEGO trip.
-
Mar 15, 2017LEGO Worlds is a powerful combination of tools with thousands of LEGO pieces, characters, vehicles and more. It offers billions of procedural worlds where we can create, destroy or shoot pigs, but it has graphic bugs that can affect the experience.
-
Mar 15, 2017LEGO Worlds is a good sandbox game, but it lacks a bit in what makes other LEGO games funny.
-
Mar 14, 2017A Lego version of Minecraft sounds too good to be true, and while this isn’t as versatile as Mojang’s classic it does offer a fun alternative for young builders.
-
Mar 14, 2017LEGO Worlds is a technical accomplishment, containing thousands of bricks and items that allow players to build whatever comes to their mind. There are a few odd decisions and the gameplay will appeal more to a specific demographic, but Traveller's Tales' latest will surely prove a joy for most creative types.
-
Mar 13, 2017A little rough around the edges, but LEGO Worlds has huge potential with its extensive creativity and humour. If you can tolerate a wayward camera and occasionally fiddly controls, then there's a wealth of enjoyment to be mined from building, destroying, and collecting.
-
Mar 15, 2017LEGO Worlds is a good exploration game, but it fails when it comes to building and playing missions. Still, it offers many possibilities, and passionate LEGO fans will definitely enjoy.
-
Games Master UKJun 6, 2017Basic gameplay spliced with some extensive creation mechanics that'll appeal to Lego fans. [May 2017, p.76]
-
Apr 14, 2017LEGO Worlds is a game full of wonderful but poorly implemented ideas. Its first hours are marvelous, but as soon as you get to the creative mode things get messy and the creation tools become a chore to use. It’s a game that wants you to love it, the problem is the potential is so wasted that even some LEGO fans may get disappointed. Other than that, the experience overall is entertaining and for its very cheap price, the quality of the content is very good.
-
Mar 14, 2017Lego Worlds has a lot of potential and the fun of building wherever you want with Lego bricks on its virtual universe, but on the other hand it feels half-baked with random and tedious activities, a problematic camera and some technical issues. The worst part of the game is that you need to repeat the same elements again and again in order to begin to really create your own world.
-
Aug 30, 2017Ultimately, Lego Worlds isn't as 'pure' a building sandbox as its rivals, but its also not as well-polished and focused as the likes of Lego Star Wars or the Lego Marvel games. Straddling the line between the two, this will pick up some fans of either, but doesn't yet feel competent enough to take their places.

Edge MagazineApr 27, 2017Lego finally has creative expression in videogame form. [June 2017, p.104]
-
Apr 14, 2017The “minecraft” recipe works well and Lego Worlds is packed with content, but it is not as well crafted and enjoyable as the more linear and classic Lego games Tt Games has created in the past.
-
Mar 24, 2017This is a platform that Traveller’s Tales are looking to build on, and indeed have since its original launch on PC, and with continuing growth there’s the potential here for something essential for Lego enthusiasts. As it stands though, for all of the merit and freedom that Lego Worlds affords, it’s still bound by many of the same problems as its predecessors.
-
Mar 24, 2017LEGO Worlds is actually quite a fun, charming adventure, with creativity out the wazoo. There is however way too much repetition, with a cumbersome building system and a sometimes immediate lack of clear objectives.
-
Mar 20, 2017This should have been a dream come true, but an annoying camera and the fact that it takes a really long time before you can start building your own worlds keep LEGO Worlds from reaching the lofty heights it aims for. Shame.
-
Mar 17, 2017There are some great ideas in here, some funny characters and plenty of scope for Lego lunacy and mayhem, but the quest stuff doesn’t drive you forwards as it does in Dragon Quest: Builders, while the real, in-depth construction is hard going.
-
Mar 14, 2017The very loose framing that allows Lego Worlds and its players to be free from stifling game design conventions has equally made the experience sometimes ungainly and directionless, leaving its protagonists stranded in a world that is as full of confusion as it is ideas and potential.
-
Playstation Official Magazine AustraliaJul 7, 2017It’s an imaginative concept, executed poorly. Unless you’re a Lego fan with acres of patience, stick with Minecraft, block enthusiasts. [June 2017, p79]
-
Playstation Official Magazine UKMay 29, 2017It's a shame all of its potential is squandered with dull gameplay and horrible bugs. [May 2017, p.90]
-
Apr 3, 2017LEGO Worlds is a disappointing and frustrating mess. The idea of an open-world Minecraft-like title is brilliant, and maybe with a few patches and improvements it might live up to that promise. But right now? LEGO Worlds feels like it was rushed to consoles and performs at an unacceptable level. Kids might enjoy it in short bursts, but I’d recommend waiting to see if improvements are implemented in the coming months. Until then, go buy some real LEGO bricks instead.

Mar 29, 2017Will a child notice or care about issues like dropped frames or screen tearing? Perhaps not. But they'll definitely let you know how they feel when the game decides to freeze and reboot itself in the middle of working on a half-constructed castle, skyscraper, or some other masterpiece. With that in mind, I'd humbly suggest that your time would be much better spent on an honest-to-goodness Lego set instead. You can thank me later.
