LEGO Bricktales

TL;DR good for your kids, or to play with your kids. I played the demo and could tell I wasn't the target demographic, but I got the notion to buy it and let my children help me with the puzzles. I did, but they struggled with the three dimensional interface. They have no or limited experience with a mouse, my kids being under 10. Ultimately, they just wanted to watch me play through the game, and enjoyed pointing out things I may or may not have missed. It was a great 12 hours with my kids. It's perfect for kids ages 6-10, depending on when they grain proficiency with a mouse (or controller, if its compatible - I didn't check). My younger child liked the Wardrobe the most. Finding treasure chests and animals was also the highlight of their experience. If you play with your kids as spectators, be prepared to read aloud or give them time to read for themselves, as there is no voice acti

This is a very fun game. There are just three things you need to know before starting: - First, this is kinda Metroid, where there are many many things you can't do without getting new powers. But unlike Metroid, it is not at all worth going back to do things as you get new powers till you are completely done with the game. Just play the main quest and don't worry about anything else till you're done. Then go back and do everything! - Second, every build you do is going to impose restrictions the first time, sometimes very severe restrictions. You can't just build at will. Once you've beat it once with the restrictions, then you can do it in sandbox mode and build anything at all you want to (assuming it meets the goals). - Third, it's kind of hard to do real full 3D building in 2D, so the controls can be kind of annoying. You just really have to learn the LB letting you override ever

Enjoyed playing it with my toddler. He told me what to do, and I tried to comply.

One part Captain Toad, one part Bridge Constructor, and several thousand little plastic parts. A fun little puzzle game with charming writing and a surprisingly deep building system. Post-game edit: There's no endgame sandbox to play in?! I spent the whole game collecting rad themed parts, and the most I can do with them is go back and add to the stuff I built during my playthrough. Kind of disappointing, but still a recommended game.

The game is good but it have some lacking on replay. After map mode done, then what to do? Unless developer can allow to have sandbox mode, which allow the player to build them own map without bricks limitation, and able to upload and share the map to others players to unlock more map to play. Hopefully developers have resources and consider the sandbox mode.
