Lego Bricktales Review (Xbox Series S)

For our Lego Bricktales Review we play this puzzle-adventure, using an intuitive brick-by-brick building mechanic to solve puzzles and bring our creations to life! We are treated to a charming story as we explore beautiful LEGO dioramas and help the people inhabiting them.

Lego Bricktales Review Pros:

• Beautiful graphics.
• 1.2GB download size.
• 1000 Gamerscore.
• Supports mouse and keyboard.
• Controller settings – cursor speed, pan speed, zoom speed, rotate speed, and Invert axis.
• Puzzle gameplay.
• Short optional tutorial before a new mechanic is introduced.
• The levels are built into the world, what you do in that level will then show in the world so things like building a bridge.
• Your actual creation shows in the world.
• On-screen icon text.
• You have full camera control complete with zoom in and out.
• The general gameplay is you go into a small self-contained level and do a puzzle to solve the task, you can try out your build with a simulate button.
• Simple Lego physics and logic at play.
• Rusty is your trusty sidekick who gives advice, and lays out the story. You can upgrade him to enable new mechanics.
• The locations look like cool little dioramas.
• Get new equipment to unlock new abilities and mechanics within the world.
• Copy puzzles are where you see the completed build and must replicate it.
• Camera controls are simplified and easier to use.
• Collectibles range from fruit to animals and items.
• The locations hide a lot of detail and activities.
• As you get new tools, you can revisit locations and go to new parts.
• Has a surprisingly high amount of depth to the locations.
• The handy game mechanic where you can’t accidentally fall off the map.
• Sandbox mode is available on previous builds and removes brick limits and brick choices. You unlock more brick choices and colors as you play.
• The pause menu will allow you to fast travel to Grandpa, use the wardrobe, leave the current spot and see all the collectibles.
• The wardrobe lets you change your face, head, body, and feet at any time.
• When building you have total control.
• Very satisfying when you finish the puzzle.
• Bananas act as currency and are used to buy new wardrobe items and brick types/colors.

Lego Bricktales Review Cons:

• Slow-paced.
• No camera control.
• The camera in the building is really good but it can fall apart when trying to gauge height and depth.
• The first few puzzles are very basic and slow.
• Takes a while to get going.
• As you go further through a location, it takes ages to actually travel around as it doesn’t use fast travel or anything.
• A hint or help button would have been nice.
• Annoyingly you cannot grab a group of blocks and move it. Think of it like you can’t build outside the zone and then grab it and move it.
