For a LEGO game in 2026. It really falls short. Not only is it poorly optimised (ps5 running a lego game In 2026 on the highest quality settings barely **** 60 fps while the ps3 running Lego Batman 2 could do it……….). the open world is simply streets and buildings slapped together with no life. Driving around, every car you hit flys off you like it’s a balloon to begin with, the npc’s on the sidewalk cannot be killed and don’t have anything interactive to them, they’re just there to look pretty. Within story missions the npc’s just patternly repeat the same gestures. I get it, it’s a lego game for kids, but in 2026 where most ppl who are playing it aren’t even kids, it’s people revisiting the nostalgia of a Lego game. We expected a lot more for the year it was released. Like seriously, imagine being able to drive around as Batman and a random crime happens that you can intervene with, that is the bare minimum and you can’t even do that. Open world my ass. It feels more like a huge map with buildings scattered everywhere and the sidewalk life (if there’s any) is just copied and pasted. I’m swear to god Lego Batman 2 was more enjoyable and that was made 15 years ago. I’ll never understand why these gaming companies do what they do. Budget my ass. Add 25-50 mil more and you can create a lego game if the decade by making it more interactive but no. It’s all about the money no the legacy. Not even the “legacy of the dark knight” can intervene. The game feels like a hopeless attempt at a 2026 Lego game for money. I honestly am I so p’ed off that it’s come to this. It’s an absolute joke. Look, yes the game is fun to play, but the whole kid game crap and lack of open world venture and immersion just brings it down to a 7/10 at the absolute most. In terms of open world for a LEGO GAME in 2026, I’d put it at a 5. It’s not like there is much to compare it to but that doesn’t change anything. It should have been able to pave its own way but it failed and it failed really badly in that sense. If any of the devs somehow read this. Please tell the people above you to re-evaluate what they think is a successful LEGO game. Sure this LEGO game is a success but it could be way way way way better with such minor details added. Adding to the immersion, the gameplay, the open world, the life on the streets. FMD my LEGO character his putting hands through the water like it’s not even there. No interactivity between either. It’s just a sloppy joke. Honestly 6.5/10 given the years it made and how immersive it is. I know the team can do better with a bigger budget so this is on the parent company. You definitely have a 60 year old bum of a bloke pulling the ropes for this game. Maybe open your eyes and hire someone 25-30 who’s played the previous Lego games and could actually make an impact of what needs to be improved. Absolute joke…..
