Lego Worlds Early Access Review

Added: 10.06.2015 22:51 | 3 views | 0 comments


GameSpot's early access reviews evaluate unfinished games that are nonetheless available for purchase by the public. While the games in question are not considered finished by their creators, you may still devote money, time, and bandwidth for the privilege of playing them before they are complete. The review below critiques a work in progress, and represents a snapshot of the game at the time of the review's publication.

In the time that I've spent with it so far, , which doesn't do anyone any favors. While there are similarities between the two, there is a certain type of Minecraft fan who will find little of interest in Lego Worlds. It doesn't offer much in the way of survival mechanics or scarcity of materials, and there's no hint of either in the game's list of promised features. This means that those who savor spending their first night in a new world dug into a tiny hillside bunker, hoarding coal and raw pork chops, may be left wanting. The same is true for those who appreciate the creep of progress as they gain access to better and better materials for more advanced crafting recipes. It's best to scrap any hopes of crafting altogether, because this just isn't that game.

A lot of promising sandbox games have stagnated in their early access or beta stages. I've personally been burned before, and I have a hard time imagining another “craftlike” enthusiast who hasn't. As much as I enjoy Lego Worlds' charm and usability, I would still describe its future as uncertain. It will take a lot more than camels and bears and unbelievably user-friendly building controls to stand alongside the genre's biggest successes. While it demonstrates an impressive understanding of how you engage with exploration and building in wide open worlds, that won't be enough to sustain it without even more content and the implementation of promised features, such as online multiplayer. Lego Worlds’ foundation is rock-solid; the developer just needs to keep laying the bricks.

What's There?

There are loads of biomes ready to explore, as well as creatures, characters, vehicles and items to interact with. The game also has a full set of building and terraforming features already implemented, though there may still be the works.

What's to Come?

The list is long, but most notably they're promising more biomes, items, characters, buildings, vehicles, as well as new liquid behaviours, underwater exploration, cave systems, improved AI and online multiplayer.

What Does it Cost?

$14.99

When Will it be Finished?

Early 2016

What's the Verdict?

It's an absolute delight to explore and build even in the game's current state, but there's still plenty of room to grow. Like so many other early access craftlikes, maintaining regular updates will make or break LEGO Worlds.

Ross of PSGamer: Sean and I sat down, had a confab about our favourite LEGO games and which ones have had the most profound effect on us emotionally, mentally and physically. We laughed, we cried, we hugged, we got super drunk and pretended to be Wyldstyle beating up Lord Business on top of a poor old mans Deloreon. This is just what happens when you get way too deep into LEGO conversation. It gets weird.
