What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The story is done nicely and still has that sweet and sometimes laugh-out-loud LEGO humor, but also knows when to take the story seriously in moments where it matters.
Gameplay was very enjoyable in story mode; I had a blast, though at times I wish it was longer.
I still think Lego games are one of the best titles to play co-op, but perhaps this one worked for me long ago just because I haven't paid attention to it's flaws back there when I was a kid.
Being one of the first LEGO games to incorporate voice acting and a full overworld (after LEGO Batman 2), it still accomplishes it quite well.
Finally, less important, but still; the textures and lighting in this game are excellent, you can tell they really made an effort to make it pretty while keeping a LEGO-charm.
Runs pretty well on modern hardware and steam deck.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
