Blocky Jason Momoa can still get your pieces wet
Lego DC Super-Villains – Aquaman Level Pack Finished the base game and want some Momoa? There’s nothing fishy about this heroic add-on.
Remember the days of movie tie-in games? You couldn’t release a superhero movie without a tie-in back in the early noughties, and while there were the odd rays of light, more often they were complete rubbish. Some of the best tie-in games have been Lego ones, so the superheroes are welcome – being adapted as Lego DLC is a fine thing.
The latest to get the brick treatment is DC’s Aquaman, which has arrived in two parts as DLC for Lego DC SuperVillains. Why is it part of this villainous package when Aquaman is, quite clearly, a hero? It’s an argument that threatened to tear Team OPM apart, but probably because it’s simply the latest main platform of delicious DC Lego content. The movie’s villain, Orm, does make an appearance as you control Aquaman and Mera in an attempt to save Atlantis. Orm seeks to take control of, and unite, the underwater kingdoms against the surface world.
The plot of both parts follows the events of the Aquaman movie, which was an entertaining adventure when it released at the end of last year. The Legofication of it into this DLC is a charming take that gets the appeal of the movie, and it’s a lot of fun to see it come to life. Ultimately it’s what you’d expect from a Lego game, but an enjoyable addition nevertheless.
SOME OF THE BEST MOVIE TIE-IN GAMES ARE LEGO ONES, SO THE SUPERHEROES ARE WELCOME.
