One of the best parts of Minecraft is the ability to play it with friends – especially in local co-op.
That being said, I still felt the controller worked better than the mouse and keyboard combination – don’t be surprised to see this make its way to consoles later on. I loved the overall tools, but found myself spending more time fixing mistakes due to input controls than I would have liked. Precision building can also be quite touchy at times. They tend to react very sharply when adjusting the camera, and this was most notable when hooning around in a vehicle. That being said, the controls are overly touchy and could use some options to ease them down. The game is incredibly stable, never once crashing on me, and I love that there is controller support that worked great right away. You are exploring and unlocking content made by others, or building your own, but there is nothing really in the way of storyline, questing or even more advanced building tools (I love that there are vehicles in the game, but currently you cannot build your own). That being said, there is very little actual core game here. Players of all experiences can easily start to assemble some pretty amazing-looking landscapes and buildings. With this in mind, the tools for building are generally excellent. However, it is easy to see that the foundation that the developers have in place could easily surpass anything Minecraft currently has to offer.īecause this is an Early Access title, LEGO Worlds still is in development. There are similarities to be sure, but LEGO Worlds is not quite as polished at this time (as you might expect). The easy comparison is to try and line LEGO Worlds up next to Minecraft and tick off a bunch of different boxes. My son is the middle child, and he likes to find the challenges in games, and went about wanting to fight things.Įach of the kids had their own varying degrees of success but seemed to enjoy their time with it. My youngest looks at the social aspects of a game like this, something she can play with her friends. She is one of those people who can spend an entire day just creating her Sims instead of actually playing the game.
All three (thirteen, sixteen and nineteen) have logged plenty of time with it, and spent their time doing different things. It would have been easy for them to turn their noses up at the idea, but I brought them up right – they had plenty of LEGO toys growing up as well. My youngest is thirteen so my kids are getting up there in age. Obviously the world of LEGO has become a good deal more advanced since then, with a variety of rounded pieces, figures and pre-built sets that can operate somewhat akin to a 3D paint-by-numbers.Ĭlearly, LEGO Worlds is meant to be kid friendly, so to test the early build of the game I got all my kids to play with it. I was mostly working with the generic bricks at the time. Joes battled on many different LEGO landscapes. I had a small table next to my bed that I actually encased with LEGO bricks from top to bottom. If I sound a bit over-the-top about the idea behind LEGO Worlds, you have to understand just how often I was building with them. It is my childhood self’s dream come true. LEGO Worlds solves that problem by giving you everything needed to build the environments you want while playing with others. Well, there was one limitation: how many bricks I had in my possession. The possibilities were limited by only my imagination – and kids have pretty amazing imaginations. As someone who grew up with these tiny connectible bricks, I have many fond memories of building a variety of landscapes for my toys to play in. The word LEGO means different things to different people – and that is by design.
