Forget what you know about Lego games. With a new partner, 2K Games, the toy brick brand is taking a break from blockbuster movie and comic-book tie-ins to explore a different style of action.
Think of a free-roaming racer such as Need for Speed or Forza Horizon, where you can head out and explore miles of open road, taking on the competition in high-octane races or tackling challenges that will push your driving skills to their limits. Only here it’s all rendered in glorious, glossy plastic with bright blue skies and shimmering water, while you’re as likely to spend your time smashing through mobs of alien invaders as racking up fast times between two speed traps. In this game, crashing through the scenery isn’t a sign of bad driving — sending bricks flying is all part of the thrill.
