    Comparing Lego Worlds to Minecraft, the Lego game lets you build with the same level of detail as the Lego toys and interact with the world using many more objects such as vehicles, a zoo's worth of animals, dozens of characters, insane weapons, and a few environmental objects. Unlike Minecraft, Lego Worlds is limited to two players only and the game isn't so much about survival as it isComparing Lego Worlds to Minecraft, the Lego game lets you build with the same level of detail as the Lego toys and interact with the world using many more objects such as vehicles, a zoo's worth of animals, dozens of characters, insane weapons, and a few environmental objects. Unlike Minecraft, Lego Worlds is limited to two players only and the game isn't so much about survival as it is about exploration. Oh, one more thing, Lego Worlds doesn't have a "creator" mode and you have to collect all of the bricks you need to build your dream playset, though thankfully you only need to collect those bricks once.

    The game starts with what I consider an 8-10 hour tutorial that gets you ready to to build creatively. As you run around worlds doing little fetch quest for Lego mini-figures, you collect gold bricks, lego items, and lego sets. You can also scan item, vehicles, and mini-figures to rebuild them whenever you like. Larger sets like castles have to be collected by finding the set in the game world or by copying a pre-existing set built in the game world. The trouble, however, is that all of the tools you need are slowly unlocked as the game progresses, and the ultimate tool, the ability to make a custom Lego world, requires an exhaustive effort to collect 100 gold bricks. While I was on task collecting bricks, my kids enjoy exploring the world and at their leisurely rate, they won't collect 100 bricks for months. The gameplay is as shallow as shallow can be, and the same criticisms of Minecraft apply here. Maybe it's an age thing, because my kids could care less. I really don't mind the lack of compelling gameplay, as my goal is to build insane Lego sets.

    The tools that you do unlock are powerful. You can reshape the world by raising or lowering terrain, removing or adding blocks, copying and pasting large chunks of the world, placing individual blocks, dropping down pre-made sets, or adding or removing blocks by shooting them with special guns. It is amazing. There are vehicles that help too, such as a digger for making tunnels and a steamroller that lays down a road underneath it. If you want to make a secret base, race course, flying city, or whatever, go ahead. And unlike Minecraft it, you aren't limited to 3 foot thick walls so let your inner builder free.

    Performance wise, this game plays like a beta. The game was in beta on PC for years before it came to console, and I hope work is on-going. The game includes a respawn feature for minor glitches like getting stuck. Frame rates can often chug to the single digits and load ins can sometimes be so slow that fast vehicles like airplanes become useless. My son decided to walk everywhere because it seemed faster. Some quests seem glitchy as quest givers never seem to appear. Yet the premise of the game is solidly presented, and changes you make to the highly detailed world persist if you let them.

    Something to keep in mind here is the price: $30. Not only is that competitive with Minecraft, its what the game is really worth. There is no thrilling campaign or cut-scenes. There is little of the trademark Lego humor. The stakes are low, with failure always an option. But for less than the cost of medium sized Lego set, you can build just about anything. It's a must buy for building aficionados.    … Expand

    Fun and very pleasant to play. Lego worlds is a game for everyone of us who wants to build and create all sorts of things. I'm actually amazed by this game. Only one con ... some drops occur on the Ps4 probably caused by textures loading. Not a game breaker IMO.

    ICE, Gamers of the Round Table

    Traveller's Tales & Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment bring us a whole new Lego game, nothing licensed; Lego Worlds is like a breath of fresh air with potential, but fails to grab my attention.
    The game starts off in space and your space ship breaks down; it’s at this point you will begin to do a little customization of your character. Once you are finished with customizations, you will enter the first world which is the pirate world. Your objective is to collect enough gold bricks to repair your ship and go to the next world; you do this is by completing tasks for people in this specific world. Exploration is critical when it comes to completing tasks; along your journey you will pick up tools and as you use these tools you can complete the tasks assigned to you later on in order to get a gold brick. As you explore each world you will find characters to interact with, whether it be just talking or fighting and as always in each world, you pick up Lego currency which will be used for building things with your discovery tool; each discovery cost different amounts to build.
    Building in Lego Worlds is a large part of the game, but to compare it to Minecraft seems a little unfair when you look at all the freedom that you have when it comes to building in this game. You can build whatever you want with various Lego pieces in all shapes, sizes, and discoveries; building is a key element when it comes to completing certain tasks.
    When you are looking to travel to a new world you must go into your space ship and it gives you several options; there are only four worlds that seem visible and they display how many gold bricks you need to unlock those worlds, but the more you collect the farther and bigger worlds you can go to. Off to the side there are menus and buttons that give you options of what you want to do next, but it’s not clear what each button or menu allows you to do. Your options in this menu, go to a randomly generated world, do a free build which cost 100 gold bricks.
    Lego Worlds has great ideas and really fun worlds, but failed to amaze in a way that other Lego Games have in the past; Lego Worlds comes off as a crossover between Minecraft and No Mans Sky.

    LEGO World
    No Man’s Sky is back
    You start the game out customizing your astronaut with extremely limited options, and then skydive into the first world… It’s here you learn that you’re destined to become a master builder… your ship is wrecked and you need to go gather materials to get it working again. Sound familiar? This game is literally LEGO No Mans Sky, without the deformed    LEGO World
    No Man’s Sky is back
    You start the game out customizing your astronaut with extremely limited options, and then skydive into the first world…
    It’s here you learn that you’re destined to become a master builder…
    your ship is wrecked and you need to go gather materials to get it working again.
    Sound familiar?
    This game is literally LEGO No Mans Sky, without the deformed creatures walking around…
    Except it actually has a co-op mode that it isn’t lying about
    you can player either local or online with your psn friends… no randoms
    You whole point of the game is to complete tasks in exchange for a golden block…
    And as you progress through the game and collect more blocks you unlock new tools which in tern unlock new quest types…
    You have a discovery tool which you use to scan to items and animals in the world.. this tool allows you to shoot and place these items anywhere in the world…
    there’s a paint tool to change the color of items...
    a copy tool that allows you to select a structure in the world and save it to bring it with you..
    a land scape tool to alter the landscape,, raise it, lower it, change it, remove it, and finally the build tool that allows you to freely build items brick by brick
    You run around and complete the handful of tasks these residents need, they give you a golden block in return and you can either explore or go to a new random world…
    the game also gives you a preview before you land so you can constantly search for something else if you aren’t happy with the procedurally generated planet you get…
    unfortunately.. This is all the game is...
    and because of that it gets boring fast and loses its charm fast…
    The worlds are extremely small when you start out… they gradually increase in size when you hit the mile stones of collecting 25,50,and 80 blocks.. Eventually having multiple bio domes...
    The issue though is that the game isn’t fun enough to entice players to make it that far… to have to travel to anywhere from 25 to 80 different planets doing the same boring tasks to eventually be able to play on these larger maps or even collect 100 to unlock the ability to create your own world…
    And because this is so no man’s sky where its land, explore, and go… there’s no incentive to build…
    there’s no reason to collect all of these items and animals and build a fortress on a planet.. because you’re leaving it all behind after you’re done painting some gingerbread man’s lollipop for the 18th time
    basically you’re solving problems with Legos on randomly generated planets that all look practically identical that are no fun to explore…
    ride animals, vehicles….
    explore caves for treasures to unlock new weapons to deal with rogue Lego creatures…
    rinse and repeat until your bored.
    it didn’t take me long…
    And that’s sad because the game opens with such charm and character…
    The rest of the game should’ve been just as handcrafted as its opening with increasing challenge to your task at hands…
    But instead they tried to chase Minecraft and no man’s sky, and fell on their face
    I give LEGO Worlds

I have noticed some drops on ps4 and ps4 pro, but nothing game breaking, except when I tried to flatten an entire world because I was sick of caves. As long as you don't do that you should be fine. The worlds are fun and the dungeons are cool, that the progression system is surprisingly good, as long as you ignore the whole brick collecting thing.… Expand

    NO CREATIVE MODE! I bought this game thinking I could go in head first and start building with a robust virtual "bucket of LEGOs", but this isn't really the case. You DO have a cursory set of starter blocks, but for EVERY other type block you want to build with in the world, it has to be either 1)found in a chest or 2) taken from a green creature that randomly spawns in worlds.

How atrocious is it that building features in a LEGO game are hidden behind a quest wall? I finished the game with 100 Gold Bricks, but I'm still way off from having the complete building set. I want to, say, build my irl house out of LEGOs but I don't have several of the sloped peices to make a roof, specific windows etc. The comparisons to No Mans Sky are valid, there's lots of exploring involving in this but until it has a Creative Mode from the start it's hard to recommend it.… Expand

FPS is a real killer which is a shame because the game clearly has huge potential. The creative mode is already superior to minecraft by virtue of the fact you are building with hundreds of different shaped blocks.Hugely flawed technically.

The graphics in this game are visually great for a Lego game and game in general. The games story isn't really important and ill let t pass for it just being a Lego game. The controls for moving are spot on and building mechanics are alright but kinda clunky and same with the painting but that's the mechanics and not the controls. This is 2017 and Lego games always (mostly) had tons of replay value and this game is no different! Instead of levels there's tons of stuff to explore with the new explorations gun which adds animals,plants,people,etc to your explorations. You can also unlock all achevements like the time killing BILLIONARE! achevement! You can also get all the lego bricks and complete everyones mission and more! In conclusion:

    Lego Worlds is amazing. It's a really great game that kids and adults will love. It has a lot more possibilities that Minecraft (without mods), and the creation is infinite! There's infinite worlds and hundreds of blocks and objects to collect. But, the camera is not really great and if Lego Worlds want to get a 10 out of 10, it needs Vehicle Creation.

The biggest problem with the game is that it has so many bugs and glitches that it becomes noticeable. Also the online is awful only two players can play and that’s so disappointing for a Minecraft clone. However the first 5 hours will be fun, but after those hours of playtime pass the game has nothing but to just building. For a game that costs 50$-60$ this is absurd! The controls also take time to get used to, the game also looks ugly at times. Overall it’s a huge failure that I highly recommend not getting and instead I say that this game should’ve been free, even if they release dlc packs that would only ruin the game even more!

    Ultimately, 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.
