  • story250 mentions

    The story in "Lego The Incredibles" adapts the narratives of both films, but many players find the execution lacking, with a confusing structure that forces players to start with the sequel before the original. While some appreciate the humor and unique level designs, others criticize the disjointed storytelling, repetitive side quests, and the omission of key plot points from the movies. Overall, the game offers a fun experience but falls short of delivering a cohesive and engaging narrative.

    • “The game follows the story of the two films with some added LEGO humor; some scenes have been altered, meaning that not all scenes from the movies line up the exact same way as shown in the game. This can be a little annoying for people who wanted the cutscenes to play out the same way they did in the movies, but unfortunately, this just isn't the case.”
    • “The story is good for both the first and second movies; however, they make the odd choice of having you play the second movie first and then playing the first one after.”
    • “I really like this game; it's a great story with LEGO doing their own twists on the storyline, and there's a lot to do in the open world.”
    • “The story retelling feels rushed and disjointed, with key moments glossed over or omitted entirely.”
    • “The story is weaker than usual LEGO games; they didn't adapt the story from the movies very well, and they cut most of the important parts.”
    • “The story order made zero sense, leading to some clunky plot points like characters learning about their abilities while you've been using them for the entire game.”
  • gameplay70 mentions

    The gameplay in this title has received mixed reviews, with some praising its fun mechanics and open-world design, while others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking depth. Many players noted that the combat feels half-baked and the puzzle-solving lacks the cleverness seen in earlier entries, leading to a tedious collectathon experience. Despite some innovative features and a visually appealing presentation, the overall gameplay experience is marred by technical issues and a disconnect between the story and mechanics.

    • “The gameplay itself is great, and arguably on the higher end of the LEGO games for its features and mechanics.”
    • “A solid and enjoyable family-friendly collectathon with plenty of different characters to spice up the gameplay, and lots of satisfying secrets to uncover in the well-designed open world.”
    • “I enjoyed the gameplay more so than many of the other LEGO titles, and found that the puzzle mechanics/solutions were unique enough to keep me interested.”
    • “The gameplay is uninspired, the combat is repetitive, and the puzzles lack the cleverness and variety that made earlier entries in the series enjoyable.”
    • “Either it's because the LEGO games from Traveler's Tales are not for me, or the gameplay really is tedious here, feeling more like busy work than something fun.”
    • “The actual gameplay of the LEGO games, which consists of a good amount of fighting and building, is probably the most lackluster it's ever been.”
  • humor33 mentions

    The humor in the game is widely appreciated, with many reviewers noting its classic LEGO charm and funny character interactions that elicit genuine laughter. While some found the humor to be a bit forced or lacking in creativity compared to other LEGO titles, the overall consensus is that the game successfully incorporates amusing moments and clever quips, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. The blend of slapstick and witty humor, along with entertaining gameplay, contributes to a fun experience, despite some criticisms regarding the depth of the humor and the open world.

    • “It's a classic LEGO game, with proper LEGO humor.”
    • “The humor and the jokes/puns are actually funny and not just stupid slapstick too, which I very much appreciate.”
    • “The classic TT/LEGO game humor is done very well in this game; some of the banter between characters during the missions is quite funny here and there.”
  • graphics30 mentions

    The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising them as top-notch and comparable to a CGI movie, while others find them lackluster and lacking the charm of previous titles. Many players appreciate the beautiful visuals and refined interface, though some criticize the lighting in open-world areas as washed out. Overall, the game is noted for its impressive graphics, but opinions vary on whether it fully captures the essence of LEGO aesthetics.

    • “The graphics, sound, music, and fun characters and puzzles kept me playing for hours.”
    • “There were wonderful new mechanics for the Incredibles, and the visuals on a Lego game have never been so good.”
    • “Visuals, UI, gameplay have all been refined to deliver a beautifully crafted game - dare I say the pinnacle of Lego games and one that could only exist as a result of several iterations of the same gameplay formula being distilled throughout the years in the relentless pursuit of perfection.”
    • “The graphics are lackluster, with character models that lack the charm and personality of their big-screen counterparts.”
    • “It’s easy and the graphics are a downgrade.”
    • “The graphics were... lego.”
  • stability17 mentions

    The stability of the game has been widely criticized, with numerous reports of bugs, glitches, and crashes that detract from the overall experience. While some players managed to complete the game without encountering major issues, many others faced frequent freezes and long loading times, indicating a lack of polish and stability. Overall, the game is seen as a classic LEGO title marred by significant technical problems.

    • “From game-breaking glitches to crashes and freezes, Lego The Incredibles is about as stable as Syndrome's plans for world domination.”
    • “Overall, it's a good classic Lego title spoiled by bugs and glitches that should not be happening.”
    • “Now every time I try to play it, it takes 5 minutes to launch, and when it does, it just freezes and I am forced to close it.”
  • grinding15 mentions

    Reviews of the "grinding" aspect in the game highlight a significant divide in player experience. Many find the grinding tedious and repetitive, describing it as busy work that detracts from the enjoyment of the game, particularly in the context of completing challenges and unlocking content. However, some players appreciate the free-play mode and the nostalgic elements, suggesting that while certain aspects can feel laborious, there are still enjoyable moments to be found.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “The game lasted me 17 hours, played to 100%, and these are 17 long, boring, tedious hours I will never get back.”
    • “One of the most tedious games I’ve ever played.”
    • “Earlier LEGO titles like the first Star Wars release were full of simple but energetic enjoyment, while more recent ones like Incredibles sometimes feel like a tedious chore.”
  • music14 mentions

    The music in the game has received positive feedback for its quality and nostalgic value, effectively blending familiar soundtracks from the films with original compositions. While some players noted that mission music didn't stand out, the overall soundtrack is praised for enhancing the open-world experience and staying true to the source material. The combination of well-crafted music and character dialogue contributes to an engaging atmosphere that keeps players immersed.

    • “Very well made open world and an amazing soundtrack.”
    • “The music was great and true to the film.”
    • “The uncanny song started playing and I got tonal whiplash.”
    • “Instead of simply trying to harvest clips from the movie soundtrack, fresh versions were recorded.”
    • “The music and voice is taken straight from the movies with a few fill-in pieces to give the character dialogue.”
  • optimization5 mentions

    The optimization of the game is mixed; while some players report excellent performance with no stuttering or frame drops, others criticize it for being poorly optimized compared to other LEGO titles, leading to performance issues on certain systems. Overall, experiences vary significantly, with some users enjoying smooth gameplay and others facing frustrating limitations.

    • “The upside of this is great performance.”
    • “The game runs very well, didn't experience any stutter, drops, or performance issues at all, never seen the game drop below 140fps on a 1070 in 1440p.”
    • “Cons - poorly optimized compared to other LEGO games, forces you to complete the entire 2nd movie's storyline before you can start the 1st for no apparent reason.”
    • “[👎] Like most LEGO games, poorly optimized and makes my PC go brr.”
    • “The performance is trash.”
  • replayability5 mentions

    The game offers a mix of high replayability and enjoyable free play modes, particularly appealing to LEGO and Incredibles fans. While it may not match the extensive replayability of other titles in the LEGO series, its humor and fun levels contribute to a satisfying experience. However, the early access to red bricks may reduce long-term replay value, as completion relies more on time and patience than skill.

    • “One of the best LEGO games on the market, quick, fun, and replayable!”
    • “High replayability and open world fun in free play mode.”
    • “Lots of fun and replayability for LEGO/Incredibles lovers.”
    • “It's definitely not as big or replayable as others in the LEGO series of games, but the same humor and fun levels are there.”
    • “The ability to get red bricks early on was good because, let's be honest, 100% LEGO games is a question of time and patience, not skill, so it made the game more enjoyable in the short term, with perhaps slightly less replay value as a result.”
  • emotional2 mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game is criticized for lacking depth and narrative cohesion, making it feel like a rushed, inferior version of a classic. Players express disappointment, comparing it unfavorably to traditional LEGO games.

  • character development1 mentions

    Reviewers note a significant decline in character design quality, highlighting that the thoughtful creativity typically associated with Pixar's character development is notably absent.

    • “By far the largest loss is the character design, which Pixar put so much thought into.”
  • monetization1 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for heavily incorporating in-game advertisements for other Disney products, which detracts from the overall experience and immersion, making it feel more like a promotional tool than a standalone title.

    • “The game could have been great, but instead it's a shameless plug for other Disney products, with references that effectively serve as in-game advertisements, killing any immersion. You could be playing and eventually forget it's an Incredibles game.”
    • “The monetization strategy feels exploitative, as it constantly pushes players to spend more money on in-game purchases rather than allowing them to enjoy the game as it is.”
    • “I was disappointed to find that many features are locked behind paywalls, making it difficult to fully experience the game without spending extra cash.”
