LEGO Dimensions

VentureBeat / GamesBeat (95 out of 100) (95%)

Lego Dimensions truly sets a new standard for toys-to-life games. The pure joy of playing with actual Lego bricks (even offline) combined with many innovations that make the Toy Pad peripheral an actual, useful item, sets this game apart from its competitors. Clever and humorous writing and respect given to the original franchises give Lego Dimensions a huge amount of variety such that at least some parts of it should appeal to just about any gamer. If (like most normal, middle-class people) you can afford only one toys-to-life game (and all of its add-ons) this season, Lego Dimensions would be my first recommendation.

Grazie a sane dosi di creatività, all'ottimo design del portale e dell'interazione del giocatore con esso e ai tanti franchise presenti, LEGO Dimensions è senza dubbio il miglior gioco "con personaggi reali" in circolazione ad oggi. Adatto ai bambini così come agli adulti più coinvolti dalla "cultura nerd", e divertentissimo da giocare insieme. Attenti però all'effetto risucchio che creerà nel vostro conto in banca qualora vogliate iniziare a collezionare tutte le espansioni!

Die in manchen Momenten omnipräsenten Bezahlschranken, die man mit den so genannten "Toys-to-Life"-Spielen in Verbindung bringt, sind mir auch in Lego Dimensions ein Dorn im Auge. Vor allem auch, weil man schon früh auf Elemente trifft, die man nur mit einer Figur öffnen kann, die vermutlich erst Anfang nächsten Jahres erscheint. Allerdings bekommt man mit den zusätzlichen Ausgaben nicht nur weitere schicke Figuren, sondern auch Zugriff auf die jeweilige Dimension, um dort in der freien Erforschung Abenteuer zu erleben. Abseits der auf Figuren- und Set-Abverkäufe abgezielten künstlichen Blockaden kann ich Traveller’s Tales nur Lob aussprechen. Nicht nur, weil man für die Bewältigung der Kampagne keine zusätzlichen Figuren, Fahrzeuge oder Gadgets braucht. Sondern auch, weil man nach zehn Jahren und gefühlten 100 Lego-Spielen mit nur marginalem Fortschritt einen riesigen Schritt nach vorne gemacht hat.

(Season 2 review) Lego Dimensions set a new precedent for what a toys-to-life game could be after arriving last year. That excellence continues with the second year of content (or Wave 6 if you've been on from the start), which delivers more of that Lego game charm with more characters and vehicles than ever. With the wide range of interests collected here, there's almost assuredly something for everyone, and that's one of Lego Dimensions' greatest strengths. That it's also fun to play just makes the decision to enter this world that much easier.

The base game, though, remains superb – the ways Dimensions harnesses what Lego does best to blend the tangible with the digital is consistently delightful. Dimensions may be the best Lego game yet, but like the sweets at the supermarket counter, or those tantalising extras in the latest free-to-play smartphone game, it might prove most talented when it comes to causing friction between parent and child.

A game in which Batman rubs shoulders with the Stay Puft marshmallow man, where Gandalf solves puzzles at Aperture Sciences and Wyldstyle punches orcs, LEGO Dimensions is a smile-inducing mash-up that revels in everything that makes LEGO such a joy.

Much has been made about the astounding array of voice talent featured in Lego Dimensions, the vast stockpile of Lego and Warner Bros. creative works the game draws from and the proven track record of its well-established development team. But what really sets Lego Dimensions apart from the rest, is that it removes the line between toy and video game and has you play in both the real world and virtual one. All of these things come together to create something much better than its interlocking parts. Where the game's innovative designs push forward what it means to blend toys and games into a single experience, the writing and both companies' willingness to dig deep into their vaults, pull the whole game together.

LEGO Dimensions sigue a pies juntillas (aunque no tan inspirado) lo que hemos visto hasta la saciedad en anteriores juegos de LEGO, pero añade el toque de los juguetes que cobran vida para tratar de hacer la experiencia de juego más variada e inesperada. Solo lo consigue a medias, al dejarnos con las ganas en demasiadas ocasiones si no queremos volver a pasar por caja. El lado bueno es que Traveller's Tales no lanzará una segunda parte, sino que ampliará la experiencia de forma gratuita y a través de nuevos packs de figuras.

I'm sort of torn in LEGO Dimensions. It's one of the most expensive propositions in all of gaming right now, but the gameplay is there and the Starter Pack stands on its own. While the campaign can be a bit uneven at times, the always reliable LEGO charm and the innovation of the physical aspect of Dimensions allows it to excel.

LEGO Dimensions a des qualités indéniables pour attaquer le marché des jouets-vidéo : le nombre de licences potentiellement représenté, l'accessibilité naturelle de son gameplay et l'utilisation ingénieuse des figurines et du socle NFC. Cependant, il pâtit également de terribles défauts pour ce segment si particulier : un prix complètement indécent d'abord, une difficulté pas toujours adéquat, un manque d'indication durant la partie et une lisibilité plus que médiocre. Si on ne devait retenir qu'un obstacle majeur au fait qu'il représente une réelle menace pour Skylanders, ce serait indéniablement le premier.
