The city is inspired by an amalgamation of LEGO City playsets. The titular urban center is a sprawling open world that breaks out across multiple islands, all of them filled with exactly the sort of environmental puzzles that are a hallmark of the series. LEGO City Undercover is basically the LEGO-fied treatment of a Grand Theft Auto that will never be, at least in terms of the scope of the gameplay. A lot of what’s here is status quo for LEGO games, but the new ideas that have been introduced coupled with some surprisingly sharp writing that toes the line between family-friendly and gamer-friendly, help to elevate LEGO City well beyond what longtime fans might expect. Who would have ever guessed that the best LEGO game yet would be the one with the most mundane setting imaginable? LEGO City Undercover‘s San Francisco-inspired city lacks the flash of a Middle-earth, Hogwarts, or a galaxy far, far away, but it makes up for that with one of the most involved – and evolved – gameplay experiences yet from this series.
