    By focusing on surprising customization but not on a deep combat system or gameplay, LEGO Brawls is a decent digital hobby for LEGO collectors rather than a stimulating brawler game for competitive gamers.

    While LEGO Brawls features both long-term themes like Ninjago and new ones like Hidden Side, the game lacks variety and a focus on gameplay. While you can unlock new parts for your minifig, those parts have no effect on gameplay. The lack of gameplay depth limits the time you want to spend on this game before is becomes too repititive, which is too bad as LEGO has more than enough variation in its themes and characters. All in all the feeling remains that this could have been a lot better.

    After the success of Lego Brawls on the Apple Arcade subscription service, porting it for all major consoles and PC seemed like the next logical step. However, after I played with the game for a while and found out its pricing, I couldn’t root for it anymore. Even though there are wonderful plasticky ideas and I almost laughed my bricky bottom off while playing with my partner, it still plays like a mobile game priced as a AAA title.

    LEGO Brawls delivers fast-paced fun and plenty of content but not much depth. Unless you're a super fanatic for all things LEGO, this title is unlikely to hold your attention for long.

    Simply put, LEGO Brawls is a disappointing game.

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 »

    Bad-
    Lackluster game modes; stingy progression; little variety amongst Brawlers; ultra-thin gameplay mechanics.

    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 »
