Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is one of those games by Nintendo that is the definition of "blockbuster". It is amazing, it is jaw-dropping and it is packed to the brim with content. Although this was a title on the Wii U, it's ability to have a low skill floor for new players to jump in and a high skill floor for seasoned professional players. This game feels tailored to everyone and everyone's skill level. A five year old to an 80 year old would have blast with this game because it is so easy to pick up and play but so hard to master when you see these crazy world record speed runs of tracks on YouTube. It is simply incredible!

A somewhat fine lego game however this "step forward" feels more like a step backwards in gameplay, level design and charm. The game feels nowhere near as polished as the original and feels like a major disappointment compared to the charm, wit and solidity of the first game. This lego game can be fun but has major flaws in terms of level design and quality. The first Lego Indiana Jones game is much better and much more focused.
