Funko Fusion Reviews
Funko Fusion is a title we didn’t have high expectations for, yet it still managed to surprise us negatively with its complete lack of polish, mission variety, and gameplay styles.

Funko Fusion is unfortunately a complete disaster. The title did not meet my expectations, disappointing me practically in every aspect. Bringing the game to a playable state will take at least several more months, and that's just part of the game problems. The gameplay is unengaging, boring, and the chosen brands are for the most part not interesting enough to forgive the title any flaws. Stay away. It's better to return to LEGO once again than to play Funko. Do not buy under any circumstances.

While delving into worlds inspired by beloved franchises like Jurassic World or The Thing may seem like an appealing idea to many gamers, Funko Fusion doesn't do it well, and the game is riddled with technical issues that ruin any attempt to immerse you in the experience.

Funko Fusion is a below average clone of LEGO games

On paper, Funko Fusion had the potential to become a strong and perhaps more mature competitor to the LEGO franchise. However, the lack of diversity, the repetitive objectives, the numerous technical problems and the absence of a local co-op mode all detract from 1010 Games' idea. While the universes offered are original to say the least, they are not sufficiently linked to offer a coherent universe. In its current state, it's very difficult to recommend the game!

Funko Fusion offers a unique blend of popular franchises, all represented by Funko Pop figures. The game has a fun concept that appeals to fans of various IPs, allowing you to explore different worlds and collect items along the way. However, it does struggle with some issues, for example, missions can lack variety, leading to encounters with the same enemies over and over again, and the odd bug here and there can be frustrating.
Funko Fusion will immediately strike a chord with many fans and reaches a large audience through its variable selection of franchises. It clearly draws on the formula of the Lego Travelers Tales games (parts of the development team were already involved in these games), but unfortunately still lacks the finesse and maturity shown in the original. All the building blocks and tools for a good game are there, but disappointingly, there is a lot to criticize, especially when playing for longer. Even after the release, we found a few game-breaking bugs, some of which have already been eliminated by patches. These range from bosses not spawning, minions spawning infinitely and misplaced assets that made level progress impossible. The fact that there is no save function within the levels and that you always had to start again from the beginning after restarting led to slight frustration, also because the collected collectibles also had to be collected/acquired again. We are definitely waiting for the patches (the first of which have already been delivered based on player feedback). Funko Fusion has a lot of potential and virtually endless expansion possibilities thanks to the franchises already represented by Funko, but it still needs to be reworked for a lot of fun. Addendum: Larger patches with a long changelog have already been delivered, so an improvement is definitely possible.

Funko Fusion had enormous potential. The numerous licences, coupled with the experience of the former Traveller's Tales developers, promised to deliver a game that was both impressive and above all fun. However, the current technical problems and not-so-satisfying gameplay relegated it to oblivion, justifying its purchase only to those who are strong fans of the brands included in the work.

The devs did well to recreate the look and feel of the worlds I played in but this was not enough to save Funko Fusion. Just like your Funko Pop collection, sad and long forgotten, I can see this game sitting around for years to come collecting dust.
If you’re a fan of the vast majority of franchises in Funko Fusion, you’ll have an incredible time playing through the game. However, if you aren’t then I’m not sure how appealing this game is going to be for you. Fortunately for the game I am a massive fan of the included worlds and as such enjoyed every second of my play time. Playing through the worlds that I have either grown up with (The Thing) or just from my favourite movies (Hot Fuzz) was an absolute joy. Thankfully for all gamers out there a recent patch also made it easier to unlock worlds and expand your gameplay. Funko Fusion receives the Thumb Culture Gold Award.
Considering the mature sense of humor and somewhat obscure references, the simplistic gameplay loop and premise don’t fit at all with its “charming” Lego-esque vibes. There are so many sections that miss the mark, and this game relies fully on the series names and characters that are in it. Some of them might be neat, but rarely do they feel like a reason for you to even consider picking the game up. Add in game breaking bugs, softlocks and more, and there’s basically no reason to give Funko Fusion a go, even for an ironic playthrough.
'Funko Fusion' is a game that looks great and plays smoothly. Furthermore, the game has too many shortcomings on peripheral matters, which affect the fun and ease of play. For example, the game is sometimes a bit boring and regularly frustrating. It has the potential to be a great game, but comes across as an incomplete group project.

Funko Fusion has enough there for both children and adults to enjoy, and I think that it is definitely worth checking out.
There's only so far pure nostalgia can take you, and it is not enough to carry Funko Fusion to a respectable score. What could have been the most imaginative game out there ends up as a drab and soulless mess which relies on repetitive puzzles and monotonous battles against the same eight enemy types over and over again.
At its core, Funko Fusion is a game that aims to achieve good things but doesn't quite manage to pull them off. In addition to slow and unresponsive character controls, the game eventually falls into a repetitive structure. Still, it can be considered a game worth trying, though without high expectations.

By featuring a wide array of beloved franchises and constantly adding mechanics, Funko Fusion stays fresh throughout.
Although the game will delight gamer fans who collect dolls and pop culture, its problems in level design, combat and puzzles, added to the tedious repetition, mean that an incredible graphic section is obscured by poor direction.

Unfortunately, Funko's creative and funny world is not reflected in the game. It consists of mistakes and repetitions.

Funko Fusion is a slog to play. The puzzles are uninteresting, and the third-person shooting is tedious. It uses its mature movie franchises in strange ways, adding glood and violence to old-school slapstick comedy, creating a tonal mess.
I really wanted to like Funko Fusion, but with repetitive gameplay, outdated franchises, and a buggy experience, it's hard to see who this game is truly for.
