This is the second worst Lego game I've played. Even worse than ancient PS2-era games. Not as bad as Lego Movie 2, but close. Instead of having different characters with a small set of different abilities, each character now also has multiple skins, each with different abilities. You gotta figure out what character AND skin you need at each moment. And the game does a terrible job at telegraphing what you have to do at each moment. It's very confusing. You have a character that just used its ice abilities to extinguish a fire? Well this next fire of the exact same size and aspect will need you to use the newly acquired shield. Wanna try using again the ice? Well it won't work. This character is blocking your way and you have to dispose of him? Sorry, attacks won't work. You'll have to somehow figure you have to use Batman to scan above him, which will magically spawn some ice shards that you'll need to bomb. Does the game make this clear in any way? Absolutely not. And controls are super messy. Superman for instance will use his laser eyes ONLY if flying. If on the ground, the same exact button does something entirely different. You can never be 100% sure what a button is gonna do. Don't get me started on the infinitely spawning enemies. Want to leisurely explore the level? Nope, not gonna happen. You'll get yourself at the mercy of waves and waves of overpowered NPCs that will kill you in an instant due to the terrible combat mechanics. This is a really bad Lego game.
Rather than using different characters to make different actions, you have to build stuff, for which you need pieces of different colors. The game turns from a fun experience to hours-long scavenging for materials without any clear source for them. You need "transparent block with black top" to build that damn store? Well good luck figuring out where to get them cause the game ain't telling you. You can pretty much play the entire game with a single character, as they're nothing more than skins with no difference in abilities between them. There is absolutely no voice dubbing other than a couple lines, unlike every previous Lego games. Characters speak gibberish with written text (which I hope your kids can read fast, because they auto-advance without pressing any button!) This is the first Lego game I dropped.
This is your average Lego game, but that's not a bad thing. You get to explore as different characters, play through multiple large missions, and then have fun unlocking all the remaining extras and bits. The only reason I'm not giving this gave five full starts is that the voice actors in the Spanish dubbing are not the same as in the movie, so they sound fairly odd.
