  • story242 mentions

    The story in "Lego The Incredibles" covers the plots of both films, but players are required to experience the sequel first, which has led to confusion and dissatisfaction regarding narrative continuity. While the game incorporates Lego humor and offers a fun, engaging experience, many feel it fails to adapt key moments from the movies effectively, resulting in a weaker storyline compared to other Lego titles. Additionally, the open-world elements and side quests can feel repetitive, detracting from the overall narrative experience.

    • “The story follows Bob Parr as he tries to balance his life as a superhero with his family life, through the crisis of superheroes being illegal.”
    • “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 cut scenes to play out the same way they did in the movies, but unfortunately this just isn't the case.”
    • “The story is amazing, and the gameplay is fantastic!”
    • “The story is messed up and annoying to play through; the free roam world has a repetitive and annoying story that unlocks every collectible on the map, with random characters from Pixar games to make up the lacking character roster, including Merida, Dory, and Miguel. The driving mechanics are terrible, time-consuming, and the overall character unlock system is just dumb.”
    • “In its current state (and considering it's so far from launch and not getting updated), I am unable to even complete the story of the game.”
    • “The story is weaker than usual LEGO games; they didn't adapt the story from the movies very well and cut most of the important parts, like the scene of Mr. Incredible risking his life to turn the ship and Project Kronos’ reveal.”
  • gameplay73 mentions

    The gameplay of this LEGO title is a mix of classic mechanics and new features, offering a fun and engaging experience with a well-designed open world and satisfying collectathon elements. While the introduction of unique mechanics like "family builds" and multi-character structures enhances the gameplay, some players noted issues with repetitive tasks, buggy mechanics, and a lack of intuitive puzzle-solving guidance. Overall, despite some criticisms regarding the story and certain gameplay elements, many found it to be a solid and enjoyable family-friendly game with beautiful visuals and a nostalgic LEGO charm.

    • “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.”
    • “Visuals, UI, and 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.”
    • “There were wonderful new mechanics for the Incredibles, and the visuals on a LEGO game have never been so good.”
    • “The story is messed up and annoying to play through; the free roam world has a repetitive and annoying story that unlocks every collectible on the map. The driving mechanics are terrible, time-consuming, and the character unlock system is just overall dumb, functioning like the packet opening in R6 Siege.”
    • “Gameplay is a bit buggy, like it was hurried to completion.”
    • “Instead we have a broken L circle mechanic that can take 30 minutes to get past.”

  • humor38 mentions

Overall, the game successfully incorporates LEGO's signature humor, making it enjoyable for fans, despite some criticisms regarding the open world and scene adaptations from the films.

  • grinding20 mentions

    Reviews of the game's grinding aspect are mixed; while some players appreciate the fun and rewarding nature of the levels and the opportunity to relive classic Disney-Pixar moments, others find the crime wave challenges and loading times tedious and repetitive.

    • “On top of all this, loading screens are very long at times, and it glitches constantly throughout the levels.”
    • “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.”
  • music16 mentions

    The music in the game is highly praised for its dramatic and angelic compositions, contributing significantly to the immersive open world experience.

    • “The game could have been great, but instead it's a shameless plug for other Disney products with references to those products that effectively serve as in-game advertisements, killing any immersion. You could be playing and eventually forget it's an Incredibles game.”
  • emotional2 mentions

    Reviews indicate that the emotional impact of the game is lacking, with players feeling it resembles a subpar imitation of traditional LEGO games rather than delivering a genuine emotional experience.
