    Brawls has an interesting idea for a video game, but its gameplay is so simple that stops being fun after a few hours.

    I really wanted to like Lego Brawls, it is such a cool idea. Sadly the fact is, it is just a bad game. Not bad in an overly broken or offensive way. Bad because it seems to delight in mediocrity. Everything feels half-baked and half-realised, kind of like my 16-year-old’s homework, and it means it quickly squandered any potential in the idea of a Lego Smash Bros.

    Cool idea, terrible execution. In the long run, LEGO Brawls is simply boring, very often chaotic and not varied enough in terms of gameplay. Yes, there are tons of bricks to unlock and some neat special skills, but it doesn’t save the game. If you feel you need to check it out, I recommend you play locally with your kids.

    As fans of LEGO, LEGO Brawls should have been the brawling game of our dreams. But unfortunately, it’s nothing but a massive disappointment. Collecting minifigs is fun, and creating your characters even more so. The actual gameplay, however, is monotonous, repetitive, and ultimately devoid of any real depth. LEGO Brawls is impossible to recommend, then. Even to the most ardent LEGO fan.

    Awful gameplay, bad controls, repetitive music, catastrophic combat system. There’s only one redeeming quality to this brawler - you can build and customize your own Lego toys. Then again, a better way to spend your money would be buying an actual Lego set.

    LEGO Brawls feels like an insult to LEGO fans after the fantastic LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga released earlier this year. From the terrible core gameplay to the incredibly grindy unlock system, there are very few redeeming qualities to this package. If you're really desperate to build your own minifigure, most LEGO games already have a character creator of their own. Your time and money are best spent elsewhere.

The greedy developers are asking $40 for a game that should have been free-to-play, or $10 at best. It literally looks like a mobile game. If they want to charge a ridiculous price of $40, I expect a combat system with depth and detail. All these cheap and lazy developers did in this game is put pretty lights during every move, to give players the illusion that the game is fun. None of that is fun for me. It gets so boring and repetitive.

    The multiplayer is a joke. The physics are pathetic. I jumped into a roof of a building and my character's entire head clipped through it. The only redeemable quality is the customization and unlocks for it. Even then, I am not really that impressed that Lego characters can have good customization options, when there is only one Lego human model. I only recommend this game until it is $10 or less.    … Full Review »

    Thoughts-
    Of course, some of these problems wouldn’t have stuck out that much if the game would have been a part of a subscription service, like it was the case with the mobile release that was included in Apple Arcade. But even at its half-retail price, LEGO Brawls just can’t justify its price tag – and is a forgettable brawler that doesn’t offer much for anyone wanting a meaningful and captivating experience from this game.    … Full Review »
