If there's one thing kids don't care about when they're in the midst of play, it's intellectual property rights. In play, characters and worlds mash together seamlessly, fuelled purely by a child's imagination and unfettered by such mundane things as trademark (no, son, you can't say the Batmobile is powered by a captured Pikachu. Just because). Which is why LEGO Dimensions (Warner Bros. Interactive's and TT Games' take on the huge toys-to-life genre populated by the likes of
Breaking apart and creating new objects with the LEGO you have is even built into the game itself. The Batmobile, for example, has three different "forms" it can take, and Dimensions includes in-game instructions (in the form of replica LEGO instruction pamphlets) to help you rebuild.
Unfortunately, the game won't let you build just anything and have it appear in game, but having a very tactile, building element to deal with lends LEGO Dimensions an appeal its competitors don't have. It's another way Dimension seemingly wants to tap into that sense of being a child again, to recreate the days when we all would play with LEGO and create insane narratives in our minds using our favorite characters.
For TT Games' Burton, that aspect of emulating how children play was the key feeling he wanted LEGO Dimensions to bring to its players. "The LEGO Movie introduced cameos of different licenses into a consistent LEGO world, which certainly paved the way and opened a few doors. We explained (to license holders) how we were digitally recreating the way kids play with LEGO sets, and if they owned a Lord of the Rings set and a Batman set no one could stop them combining the two in the real world, so why stop them in the digital world," Burton said.

Starbreeze Studios' acclaimed puzzle-platformer , we awarded the game a score of 8.
"Sure, the puzzles are suitably challenging and mighty clever in places, and the imposing environments are beautifully realised, but it's all there to build those emotional ties, and create moments that hit you right in the pit of your stomach," said our reviewer.
"Brevity is the only real misstep here, and you can't help but feel that with a little more time to build up the characters those emotional highs would have an even greater impact. But it's not enough to detract from what is a great achievement: an ambitious, emotionally affecting adventure that's short, but oh so sweet."
