LEGO Worlds Reviews
Lego Worlds is a very disappointing game. Lego Worlds has too many technical problems and is not recommended to anyone.
LEGO Worlds feels like a tech demo for what could be in TT's future. There's a lot of promise here, but it lacks direction and purpose. It ends up feeling like TT's signature LEGO elements meets No Man's Sky meets Minecraft. That means it contains all the problems these other titles suffer from.
While the concept of a LEGO based sandbox is irresistibly charming and promising, LEGO Worlds unfortunately misses all the right marks. From a presentation lens, the LEGO premise is used well, but it never feels in tune with the level design, and the multiplayer, one of the biggest draws, is underutilized and underdeveloped. For a younger audience, the single-player might serve as a decent time killer, as the overall presentation is colourful and inviting, and the initial hour of figuring out what and how to build is exciting, but fans of either LEGO or the sandbox genre will be left wanting so much more than what LEGO Worlds can offer.
There's some fun to be had with LEGO Worlds, but you will need to trudge through a lot of problems to get to it.
LEGO Worlds is fun in small increments and I would be lying if I said this game does not hit the target audience's expectations. If you like sandbox games with open-ended gameplay, or are looking for a decent Minecraft alternative, this game is for you; unfortunately there just was not enough substance in the aimless gameplay loop for me to keep me coming back.
Lego Worlds feels like someone dumped a box of Legos on the floor and told you to have fun. Only you've never held a Lego in your hand or heard the word “fun.” This is less of a game and more of an experiment for Lego to figure out its place in the increasingly digital future toy space, which is fine, but I for one would much rather play with real Legos. Or sleep on a pile of Legos.
Combination of unsuccessful Minecraft clone and No Man’s Sky. LEGO Worlds looks nice, but it quickly become a chore to play.

I’m hoping that the game would add more features in the future like adding their famous Lego franchise characters in the mix like the Lego Batman or Lego Jurassic Park. I think that would be something that would really draw me back to the game.
It is the unrivalled creative freedom that will soon see many shrug off the issues that LEGO Worlds has and become hooked, building towering LEGO creations that they have only been able to dream of. But, while there are fleeting glimpses at the potential behind the whole idea, there are a few bricks that are missing before it will be completely realised.
All in all, Lego Worlds is an amazing Lego game...But as an exploration / sandbox game...It's nothing more than flat, boring and short-lasting. Definitley worth the money if you have a kid who loves Lego, but not if you have two or more children that'll be wanting to clamber around the controller. All you'll get are tears due to the bad optimisation (On console) and lack of +2 player co-op. It's fun, but in short bursts.
LEGO Worlds may be TT Games' best LEGO title yet, but even so it falls short at almost every turn.
Though ambitious and offering a powerful suite of creation tools for meticulous brick builders, LEGO Worlds is let down by its awkward controls, repetitive quests, an overlong trek to collect Gold Bricks, and a ton of technical issues.
A fun family game for both kids and adults, especially since many generations enjoyed building with LEGO. However, the experience is hindered by a relatively steep learning curve, and unintuitive controls.

LEGO Worlds is another fun entry to the series, sure it's not the Minecraft killer but it's a great attempt at a LEGO style sandbox creator. If you're a fan of the Minecraft and LEGO games then this has to be on your must buy list but be warned their are technical issues that hold this game back from its full potential.
LEGO Worlds is so close to being a fantastic idea that all the little hang-ups feel way more annoying than they should. The creation mode is fantastic, but extremely touchy controls-wise; and it's gated off by necessitating the player to complete the same missions dozens of times each if they want its best tools. The idea of a digital LEGO sandbox is the stuff that dreams are made of and, honestly, it just hasn't been done justice this time around.
The game still has a fair few bugs and an awkward story-based progression mechanism, concerns that should have been ironed out with its retail release. This game is essentially about building Lego wonders and we enjoyed it the most when we totally ignored the storyline. But if that's the kind of experience you're looking for, Minecraft is still the more polished alternative.
When it comes to LEGO Worlds the sad fact is that the constant technical issues make it a frustrating experience, and locking LEGO pieces behind gamification doesn't make it feel like I have achieved something. I congratulate everyone for what they've accomplished with LEGO Worlds, but many of the issues with this game are not easily forgiven in modern game development.
You won’t build all that much in the initial hours of LEGO Worlds.
Put it all together and you have a game that’s good enough to keep kids busy on a rainy Sunday afternoon, but nowhere near as absorbing or addictive as Minecraft (which some parents may think is a good thing).
Lego Worlds is one of the most beautiful proposal that could be made to the fans of the most famous construction game. In addition to address a very wide audience, LEGO Worlds allows players to have fun while at the same time explore a colorful universe and start complex constructions with infinite possibilities, everything alone or accompanied by other players. All the more of a reason to deplore the redundancy of quests that become boring too quickly, the camera issues that harm the visibility or the heaviness of the interface : shortcomings that can ruin the enjoyment of the game, and it's without even mentioning crashes and saves troubles that can in that matter lead to a nervous breakdown. This leads to hoping for a quick patch, but also a new entry that could build on all the qualities of the title while erasing all its defects.
