The Setup

A LEGO puzzle-adventure where you help your grandfather restore his failing amusement park by solving physics-based building puzzles across five diorama-style biomes. It also includes a Sandbox Mode for free-form LEGO building.

The Review

The building puzzles are genuinely clever and reward creative solutions rather than one "correct" answer most of the time, and Sandbox Mode is a nice bonus if you just want to build. It’s a wholesome, family-friendly game that doesn’t overstay its welcome, though on console the puzzle mechanics can feel a bit rigid and I hit a couple of performance dips.

What I Liked

  • Clever, varied building puzzles
  • Sandbox Mode is a great bonus
  • Wholesome, family-friendly tone
  • Good length for the price

What I Didn’t

  • Some console performance hiccups
  • Puzzle mechanics can feel rigid
  • Fairly short main campaign

The Verdict

Rating: 4/5
