LEGO Bricktales: We tried an isometric adventure based on legendary bricks

This is definitely a golden age for the colorful brick house. Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga hits the shelves and has received a huge response and is under the radar, or almost, LEGO is about to return in this new guise. LEGO Bricktales is an isometric adventure and puzzle game and you will be called to play the role of the grandson of a scientist who is struggling with the repair of amusement parks. In fact, due to some malfunctions in the beginning, all the attractions will be de-energized and you will have to try to fix it gradually, starting from the basement of the playground, and give the games a new splendor.

Right in the basement you will meet the scientist and robot who will accompany you throughout the adventure and give you advice and ideas for your progress. Here, in fact, will begin the tutorial, which will explain the mechanics of the game, which sometimes forcibly turns to the spirit of LEGOs: build.

Scattered around the various game maps, there will be obstacles that you must overcome with the construction. After selecting the point, you will be launched into a kind of catapult. configurator where you will face the riddle to be solved. It’s basically about using game-provided pieces to build bridges, ramps, objects and machines of all kinds, while respecting some simple rules that are explained from time to time. For example, to be able to make a bridge without demolishing it, or to open a door we will need to duplicate a sculpture to be applied to a panel, in short, there are all conditions for a good variety.

Why find it in ours Tried from LEGO Bricktales.

maps

The evidence unfortunately included only one. biomes will be available in the final version and this forest. The map is divided into submaps, which are connected by lockable access points with various puzzles. During our raids, apart from building solutions, we also came across small puzzles to solve with skills that will unlock during the story. For example, at a certain point we unlocked a kind of “body slam”, once landing a jump will allow you to destroy small parts of the environment, giving you access to secret areas and chests with bananas from the inside… Yes, bananas seem to be the currency of the game and we found a vendor among other things but unfortunately for the moment it’s not selling anything.

Is everything that glitters gold?

The only negative note we felt we could notice, natural difficulty construction “in mind”. Encouraging and rewarding, they are construction-based puzzles that sometimes leave you with the frustration of failing for more than a few minutes. We got stuck in one of the game’s puzzles for about 40 minutes and couldn’t figure out how to put the bricks. Obviously once you get in the way it works you’ll go faster, but maybe some kind of token help would be useful.

A special explanation should be made for technical sector According to LEGO tradition, it cannot cease to be impressive. Every corner of the map radiates creativity and passion for colored bricks. The build quality is truly impeccable, between the games of reflection and the smoke made from certain stones and the same bricks. Also a little note camera following our raids diligently, changing angles when necessary.
