Lego Bricktales Review Pros:

- 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.
