Man, what a ride. This is without a doubt the best LEGO game of the new generation. It gets a spot in the Hall of Fame along with all the classics like LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, LEGO Batman, and LEGO Indiana Jones, as well as other titles.
TL;DR: The game is amazing, incredible customization system which allows the creation of infinite characters, along with a large open world. No bugs, has a lot of things to do even after finishing the story, a lot of collectibles and challenges along with amazing voice acting and creativity. Even though is one of the best LEGO games, it is still a bit expensive, so buy on sale.

I really love LEGO games, since I was 3 or 4 years old, as the genre was the first one I ever played. But this time, Traveller's Tales really outdid themselves, This game is complete in every single aspect, from graphics (LEGO standards, of course) to gameplay, from dialog to level design. This is a masterpiece. It is so good that after playing for almost 40 hours I had my save file deleted and had the willpower to start all over again. Only because the game is worth playing until the end. And I did, as of now I have a 100% save file, after almost 80 full hours of playtime.
First, the story. It's as fun as LEGO game stories can get. It keeps you interested, it is well written, and along with the amazing voice acting, it is pretty fun to see how things come to an end. Basically, as you would have imagined, this time you are seeing things from the Villains' perspective. After years of only playing as the heroes, you are (most of the time) the bad guy. But you know, in this game, it's good to be bad. Basically the Crime Syndicate (evil Justice League from Earth 3) came to Earth 1 and kidnapped the Justice League for reasons I won't mention here. And now it's up to the bad guys like Joker, Lex Luthor, Sinestro, Clayface, Black Adam, Captain Cold, Reverse Flash and a bunch of other criminal scum to save the day from the "badder guys".
But the best part of this game is the revolutionary custom character system. In fact, it's so good it is the very first thing you do when the story begins. And this is real, real customization, you can select the type and color of every single body part, face details like facial hair or wrinkles, the character's voice (basically grunts in different voice tones), special effects for when you attack, the name, their affiliation, even the color of their health bar. And of course, superpowers. You can make a character with any. Superpower. You want. You wanna make a well-dressed old man with a cold beam coming straight from his chest, who can also use technology panels, grapple, throw bombs around and fly? You can do that, and more! Or maybe a robot with explosive bolts and a charge attack which sets out a colored explosion that looks like fire and destroys silver LEGO, you can do that too. Your imagination is your limit. Or you can just make a Jojo character and be done with it, like me.
But the reason behind this is because the game revolves around your first custom character. The Rookie, as people call them, can absorb special powers along the game and unlock new options for customization. They are a key part of the actual story, so you will see your custom character interact with basically everyone, from Wonder Woman to Deadshot. Of course, you won't have all of the super strong powers at start, but before even finishing the story, most powers will be unlocked, and you can then make more characters and let your imagination take hold.
It has also a really big open world, from the Asylum to Smallville, the Iceberg Lounge to Apokolips, you have a lot of things to do, destroy and collect. There are plenty of missions and challenges which require you to hunt certain collectibles with nothing but tips about where they are, and races that really put your speedster skills to the test.
The game has been optimized with a lot of "quality of life" stuff, as well. Now it automatically leads you to a character that can use whatever you need in that moment. Need Detective Mode for a clue? Here's Batman. You need to power up a generator? Automatically get tracked to Shazam or Livewire. Lantern construct? Take Sinestro, done. It is that simple. The levels have also been toned down on the stuff to do, so there are less repetitive stuff like minikits (only five per level now)
And to top it all off, there is the amazing voice acting, always on point. There are simply too many amazing works of voice acting to talk about, so take this link and see for yourself.
About the price, yes, it is a bit expensive, I would recommend waiting for a sale because of it. The game is totally worth it, but sales are always a good thing.
So, I loved every single bit of it, I definitely recommend it, even if you don't like LEGO games. This one is sure to give you a hell of a time.

A fun Lego DC story with classic voice actors reprising their roles for characters such as (batman, harley quinn, joker, and darkseid). If you're a big dc fan you'll love this game.
This game tells a unique story where the heroes are gone and its villains vs villains. You get to create your own character that plays a big role and is highly customizable. Your sonic OC will get more powers as the story progresses, although some are totally useless.
While the open world isn't quite as fun as Lego Batman 2 to traverse, its still a good one. Overall there is a lot of variety in finding characters, boss battles, completing quests and challenges, and doing races. Quests are basic but fun while challenges should've never been included as their just a waste of time and you'll most likely have to google where to find them all. Races are good per usual.
The dlc levels are cool but extremely short, and skip over most of what happened in the actual story they are based on.

One of the best LEGO videogames. The levels are very good, the animations of the characters, the open world is pretty big. Making your own LEGO protagonist is a fresh idea that's well implemented in the gameplay and story.
For the completionists, the golden bricks are interesting enough to get (many dubbed quests), not lazy like LEGO Movie 2. Also there are now only 5 minikits per level. I think it's better this way (missing 1 out 10 minikit in the whole level in previous LEGO games was kinda frustrating).
My Cons : 1. Alt+Tab messes up with the Resolution of the game(switches to 800x600).
It's pretty frustrating to have to re-set the resolution to 1920x1080 almost every time I Alt+Tab It's not the first LEGO game with this problem. This is a problem even when ticking "Windowed mode".
This needs a fix. I don't want to see this for the next LEGO Games like Skywalker Saga. PC deserves better. LEGO Games deserve better.
2. Level "credits" still too long.
3. Challenges (introduced in LEGO Marvel 2) are not interesting content. They're a chore and very hard to complete without cheating by watching a Youtube video. Challenges are required to complete 100% to complete the game at 100%. Hopefully they're not continued into Skywalker Saga.
All in all, they're not huge cons. This is a testament to how good the game is.

Playing with my 4 year old on playstation 3 controllers, Priceless reactions and he's so excited this is all he talks about for the last week or so!!! i enjoy the mild humor and as with all lego games the violence isn't inappropriate. We both have a great time together and during this whole corona lockdown is a great way to pass the time!!
