Lego Bricktales returns the IP to its block-placing origins with fun puzzles that can certainly challenge the mind. While it doesn't allow you to do whatever you want, the satisfaction that comes with problem-solving each puzzle is quite notable.

LEGO Bricktales is exactly the kind of game you would expect as both a work of Thunderful Games and a product of the LEGO brand. Seeing your creations come to life, even visually sickening ones, is a rewarding experience and a must-play for LEGO enthusiasts.

LEGO Bricktales for the Nintendo Switch is the latest in a long line of LEGO games. But wait, there’s something different with this one. This isn’t the typi

Unfortunately, Lego Bricktales crashed on me a good few times. Sometimes this would reset my progress to before the most recent build, which could be anywhere from 5-30 minutes of time. Hopefully, this is easy to patch, as it puts a real damper on the whole thing. Once in a while, there’ll be a strangely stringent build that can be a bit of a roadblock, but this is a rare occurrence. I also wish you could run somehow. Perhaps I missed it, but I tried every button to move a bit faster through the overworld and was unable to.

LEGO Bricktales is a fresh and clever twist on the puzzle genre, even if the controls could be more intuitive.

A satisfying, imperfect new step forward for LEGO games.

Lego Bricktales is a relaxing and entertaining way to spend your time that does manage to recreate that tranquil vibe of building something, anything, out of Lego. It has its appeal and that's not weighed down too heavily by the lackluster exploratory parts, but with a little more attention it could've really explored what it means to play with Lego bricks creatively.

Building things out of LEGO is amazing fun. In theory, a game about this timeless activity would totally rule, right? It does! Sort of. You see, putting the pieces together just right requires patience and precision. It also requires an instruction manual. I had about half of one of these three things during my playthrough. For the right audience, LEGO Bricktales will be a smash hit. For everyone else, some caveats need to be laid out.

Developer ClockStone gave this a good effort, but there wasn't enough in LEGO Bricktales to keep me feeling interested. Even the story, which is typically a franchise strong suit felt underwhelming with half-hearted humor and nothing really memorable. That's not to say there isn't a foundation for something better in the future. The concept of using LEGO building to progress and doing it in your own way is a strong one, but without better tools, like blueprints and the like, the novelty wears off quickly. For now, LEGO Bricktales is a fun curiosity and little more than that.

LEGO Bricktales is a game that is a must-try for true LEGO fans, purely because of how creatively it uses its building mechanics and how many choices you have in solving puzzles. But for everyone else, it’s sort of a mixed bag.
