Soon enough you’ll get your hands on the Copy and Paint tools (self-explanatory) and the Build tool, the latter enabling you to build whatever you want, block by block, from your ever-growing library of bricks. Next comes the scenery tool, which can be used to raise or lower the terrain or add and remove hefty chunks of the environment – very useful when you need to bring someone down to earth or get rid of an obstructive rock formation. First of all comes the Discovery tool point it at an object, animal or character and pull the trigger and you’ll store the model and be able to reproduce it at will. How? Well Lego Worlds spends its early stages feeding in a selection of cool Lego tools.

Keep on going through 50 to 100 and you’ll eventually be able to create your own worlds, then populate them with your own people, animals and buildings. Reach 25 and even larger worlds unlock, complete with multiple environments so that an arctic zone blends into rocky crags or savannah and jungle zones surround a bustling Lego town. Complete these and you’ll have more gold bricks in the bag, and you’ll be set to launch towards your next exciting destination.Īmass 10 gold bricks and more planets open up – fantasy worlds with tunnels, trolls and archers, a junkyard world with towers of broken cars where zombie teens attack snack-obsessed construction workers. Reach that, a volcanic realm of grumpy cavemen, and you’ll find more jobs to do, helping cavewomen down from the edge of the volcano or building a bridge across the burning lava streams. Complete these and you’re rewarded with gold bricks which can be used to repair and refuel your spaceship and get you as far as the next world. Some of these pirates have tasks for you to do – build a pirate throne, construct a clock-tower. You begin the game as an astronaut, your little spaceship crash-landing on a tiny tropical planet full of Lego pirates. A game that started out in early access as a very basic, very freeform Minecraft-style game has evolved into something quite different.

Like Dragon Quest: Builders, it mixes up the Minecraft gameplay with a storyline and quests, and there’s even a hint of No Man’s Sky in its procedurally generated scenery and basic structure.

Yet while it’s a sandbox game of resource-gathering, construction, exploration and adventure, Lego Worlds also tries to bring something different to the experience. While far from a direct clone, it’s certainly a take on Mojang’s classic, with those chunky blocks and pixelated textures replaced by shiny plastic Lego bricks. There’s no point denying it: Lego Worlds is effectively Lego Minecraft. Available on PS4 (version reviewed), Xbox One, PC
