Twas Christmas 2015 when I received LEGO Dimensions for the Xbox 360. Along with the motivating set: the Doctor Who level pack. From there, LEGO Dimensions became a game that I sank hours and hours into for over three years. I bought all sorts of sets over the years for this game. Fun packs, Team packs, Level packs, Story packs, hell; I even upgraded to the Xbox One a few years later, that’s how committed I was. Is it perfect? Not really. The “toy-pad is a controller” gimmick gets old quick, and some of the older versions of the game are buggy as hell. But everyone’s entitled to at least one game to look back on with rose-tinted glasses. The rather large problem is that LEGO Dimensions is slowly becoming lost media. Many digital storefronts are closing, locking off key updates and Year Two content. Plus, toy-pads don’t last forever. A PC rerelease with all characters baked into the game would give it permanent preservation and longevity. And without the cost to buy a multitude of sets. If any LEGO game desperately needs a PC version; it’s LEGO Dimensions.
LEGO Dimensions is one of these games that came out at a time when externals peripherals were trendy, but now the game isn't sold anymore, the eshops supporting it and its DLCs are closing down and it won't be long before the physical tools like the portal are either absurdly expensive or worn out. This game has a lot of worthwhile content that deserves to live on. As it is now, it risks disappearing with no reliable way to experience it again. GOG already has several LEGO games, the engine has been adapted to PC for a time now, which means it is feasible.
Truly a game that deserves to be preserved, as content for the game is no longer accessible on Wii U or XBox 360. I adore this game, having poured many hours into the PS4 version, running around as an eclectic mix of The Doctor, Batman, Wildstyle, Krusty the Clown, The Wicked Witch of the West, Wonder Woman, and more. Every world is filled with references and Easter eggs and even the characters have little interactions. While I know working with all the licensees and reworking the toypad/toys to life aspect would be a challenge, this is a prime example of the type of game that deserves preservation. No other game has assembled so many disparate properties or done it with such love and devotion. GOG save us!!
My brother got this game for Christmas 2015 on PS4 and this has got to be one of the best LEGO videogame experiences by far! This game fit the 'Toys-to-Life' trend better than any of the others and it would be amazing to receive a PC port of this game. To think theres a whole generation out there now who would have never experienced this and will never get to feels like a waste of the hard work developers put into it. I hope this could get selected, I would love to play this with my kids one day.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
