I mean, it’s still a LEGO game, so it’s not going to blow both your socks off. So, if you played LEGO City Undercover when it first came to Steam, then maybe you don’t have memories as fond as mine.īut, if you decide to jump in now – four years later and after patches – you should find a game that doesn’t talk down to kids or bore adults to death. If you tried to change the resolution, you’d get a black screen alt-tabbing didn’t work for… reasons and it didn’t have mouse support. Now, when it launched on PC, it was a bit of a state. And, like most of the films, the dialogue and tone was more Pixar than Peppa.

Given that the majority of open-worlds involve you either stabbing, shooting, or stabbing and shooting, a GTA Juniors game was a breath of fresh air. While LCU wasn’t necessarily drastically different from the LEGO games that came before, it still gave me an open-world game I could play with my nephew. It was something completely new from the people who didn’t normally give us something completely new. I think that’s why I felt compelled to play LEGO City Undercover when it first launched on the Nintendo Switch prototype in 2013. Will Arnett hadn’t donned the cowl yet, nor was Chris Pratt singing about everything being more than decent, so Those Films weren’t even LEGO films. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time.For the best part of 15 years, most LEGO games were The Characters You Like In Those Films, But Now In Brick Form.

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.
