    Part adventure game, part construction simulator, Lego Bricktales lays strong foundations for a truer type of Lego experience.

    Thoughts-
    Lego Bricktales rides the wave of successful Lego games but makes one of the more pure Lego experiences I’ve seen in a game by focusing heavily on the building aspect, and as such, the building experience is a good amount of fun. There’s nothing incredibly special about its mechanics, nor does it do everything right, but with its idea of giving you freedom to build how you want and, more often than not, what you want, there’s a lot of creative license you can take to build like you would in real life, with the same frustrations and trial and error a real Lego set would bring. The game attempts to contextualize everything with a surprisingly successful, if not entirely unique or immersive sequence of worlds, especially with some of the surprisingly thoughtful puzzles and use of superpowers. This isn’t a game that’s going to blow you away in any single aspect, but it’s a highly relaxing, satisfying experience that allows you to build your own creations and see them come to life in a true Lego context.
