The story in this LEGO game diverges from its predecessors, offering a less cohesive narrative that prioritizes gameplay over fidelity to the source material. Players can engage in a more dynamic experience with multiple characters and mini hub areas for each chapter, though the overall plot lacks seriousness and depth. While the missions are enjoyable and varied, the game seems to focus more on bite-sized action and puzzles rather than a compelling storyline.
