Like a supervillain hell-bent on world domination, Lego has systematically “bricked” every popular movie franchise under the sun. Whether it’s Jurassic World, Star Wars or The Avengers, all have been shrunk to Lego lengths. This comes with its pros and cons, most of which have to do with the repetition of the same formula simply applied to different titles. The latest title in question is Lego Marvel’s Avengers.

This isn’t the first time members of the Avengers have been featured in a Lego video game (see Lego Marvel Super Heroes), but it is the first time all have been assembled together in their own titular game. Just like in the beginning of Age of Ultron, Lego Marvel’s Avengers opens with the team of super heroes closing in on the Hydra hideout, albeit with their own Lego charm (cue the random farm animal thrown by Thor). That fan-favorite, slow-motion shot of the team flying in the air in unison is also included for good measure. The effort to retain all of the cinematic thrills and grandeur of the movie is a common and welcomed aspect of the game.

But the gameplay is what fans of these comic characters will appreciate the most. Since this is an Avengers-focused game, the player is given the opportunity to play as each hero, sometimes freely switching between different characters in separate spots during the same battle. Not only is this a catalyst for non-stop action, it also keeps the player from getting bored. Had enough of fighting Hydra goons as Captain America on land? Don’t fret, just switch over to Iron Man and fly around as you shoot lasers at airborne enemies. Each character also has a unique ability needed to complete every mission. Hulk, for example, is able to plow through buildings that need his renovating touch. Collecting all of those scattered coins is much easier with Hulk’s massive frame, too.

But some of this will sound very familiar, and that’s the main drawback of Lego Marvel’s Avengers. The same basic approach of the previously mentioned Lego games is applied here again. While it works and is indeed fun, it also begs the question: Is it getting old? Is Lego and developer TT Games resting on their collective laurels and continuously hashing out the same game with different characters? At times, this seems to be the case, but it’s so easy to get caught up in the detail that goes into the games’ presentation that you forget that it’s the same game you bought a couple months before, minus the cape. That’s not to say Lego Marvel’s Avengers is bad. Fans of the comics and movies alike will love it. But at some point, Lego and TT Games will have to mix it up before players start to grow tired of always playing the same game.
