Tin Salamunic: Lego Worlds is like a childhood dream come true. Its a game Ive been waiting for my entire life, and its finally here on Steam Early Access. I know, I know, Minecraft has been around for years already, and conceptually, its basically virtual Legos on steroids. But honestly, Minecraft has always been a big tease for me. Its like a Lego game without Legos, and to me personally, thats always been an issue. Theres something irreplicable about Legos. Maybe Im blinded by nostalgia, or maybe its the franchises unparalleled charm. Whatever the reason may be, the release of Lego Worlds is a big deal for me, and Im thrilled with where the development is headed.

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.
