It features many iconic Marvel locations and you will visit many of them in the story.Ī huge part of the fun though is going beyond the story. Even the games that followed this do not have as much of an interesting open-world as this one here does. Lego Batman 2 was the first of the games to have an open world, but it was Lego Marvel Super Heroes that really nailed it.
It is so well done that I feel it appeals to you if you are 6 or 56! It is just a great superhero story and I feel it not being tied to any movie actually works in its favor. It is impossible not to be sucked in by this story. declined to comment on it at the time.Īnd just this morning, a developer from Lego's previous creativity-fuelled - Lego Universe - explained how the company had been struggling with the concept for some time but had been held back by needing a *ahem* "dong detection" software.The game has some fantastic voice acting and a ton of personality. This isn't the first we've heard of the game - an advert for it appeared last week in an actual Lego set, although publisher Warner Bros. "We'll also be offering people a chance to experience the development of a Lego title for the first time, and several members of the team will be providing some interesting dev diaries over the coming months." "We'll be actively monitoring the Community Hub here on Steam and look forward to feedback and suggestions for the game," Lego's statement concluded. We'll evaluate a release candidate in early 2016, but we won't consider the game complete and ready for release until we believe our community feels we have delivered a great game."
"The current plan for LEGO Worlds is to be in Early Access through 2015 at which point we hope to have our full list of features in place. "So much of this game will be about building and sharing and by sharing our plans with the community, we hope to incorporate their feedback and build an experience together that fans of LEGO and this genre of video games can enjoy." "Lego Worlds will be a fully open-world, creativity-driven game so we want to ensure that we provide it with the utmost care and attention as we expand on our ideas," the game's Steam page states. The main differences from Minecraft appear to be a focus on creativity rather than survival, and the ability to change vast chunks of the terrain at will.
Sounds familiar.Įlements from the main Lego games will also be included, such as Red Brick cheats and customisable characters.įeatures in the game as it stands today include procedurally-generated worlds, "discoveries and unlocks", ridable creatures and vehicles plus a day/night cycle. Online multiplayer will be added in the coming months, alongside Minecraft-sounding features such as "procedurally-generated underground cave networks", biomes, AI creatures, online and underwater gameplay. Lego Worlds is being developed by the standard Lego video game developer TT Games, and is currently only single-player experience.īut that is all set to change as development continues. It's available now to download via Steam Early Access, priced £11.99.
One major point of difference is the ability to carve out and manipulate large chunks of landscape at once. Surprise! Lego has launched its own sandbox-style Minecraft rival, named Lego Worlds.
