LEGO WORLDS

Two customisable heads are better than one

FORMAT PS4 PUB WARNER BROS DEV TRAVELLER’S TALES REVIEW #135, 5/10

Playing with my son, it’s almost possible to mistake this for a good game. Hearing him giggling down the headset because he’s bounding through the jungle on the back of a shark, you’d think he was playing something completely different. The thing is, my son is six. I played Zool on the Amiga when I was six, and I thought that was good. Zool! [It was good - Ed.]

Lego Worlds is worth buying if you have kids, or the attention span of a six-year-old. Either way, you’ll need a responsible adult to deal with the issues: hard crashes, syncing problems, convoluted menus, and more. It took me 30 minutes to realise how to let my kid join me online, and even split-screen is a hassle to set up, requiring two accounts.

VERDICT

Building and exploring with another player certainly improves Lego Worlds, but it only multiplies the potential issues you might face. Kirk McKeand
