There’s been tons of fun games about Lego, no doubt about it. But every game has always been the theme of Lego overlaid on another. Such as Lego Racing; you build a car to race with. Also, the actual environment/background is not made of Lego. The purpose is to race a car, and the building of the car is a facet of the game. The same is true for… any of them,really. Lego Marvel Superheroes, Star Wars, Batman, Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Marvel Superheroes, DC Supervillians, Lord of the Rings… etc. It’s a world with a ‘skin’ on Lego thrown on top. (Not that it’s not lovely)

LEGO Bricktales is absurdly fun and very intuitive controls (I actually play one-handed!), but horribly controlled with a controller.

    No it isn’t, everyone says legos. Language evolves and what is being used becomes the norm, not “how it supposed to be” when someone decided what the plural is for their company blocks.

      I think it is mostly Americans that say that. I’ve never heard anyone say it outside of reading it on American centric forums.

        I love playing with my Lego plastic bricks!

        I love playing with my Lego!

        I love playing with my Legos!

        So everyone you know in person says the second one?

        “I play with my Lego often”

          Mostly the second one, yes. Lego. Lego bricks. Lego pieces. Boys of Lego. Never Legos.

            Lego bricks. Lego pieces. Boys of Lego

            Is not Lego plural

            Like a kid would say “Do you want to go to my house and play with my Lego?”

            Use it in a sentence where it’s plural and makes sense

              Yes, that’s what they would say. I’m not sure if you are disagreeing with me? No one I’ve ever heard says Legos here in Australia. I’m playing with my Lego. Check out my Lego. I’m missing some of my Lego pieces. Pick up your Lego.
