LEGO City Undercover on PS4 (Model Number: WBP40066) offers a vibrant and expansive open-world experience that truly captures the charm of LEGO games. Having spent considerable time exploring the city, solving puzzles, and collecting vehicles, I can confidently say it’s a title that delivers a fun and engaging gameplay loop. The international version brings the same delightful gameplay to players across various regions. This review will delve into the specifics, highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of this PS4 title.

One of the standout features of LEGO City Undercover is its sheer scale. The city is packed with detail, offering countless nooks and crannies to explore. The ability to collect over 100 vehicles provides a fantastic sense of freedom and allows for diverse approaches to tackling missions and exploring the environment. The disguise mechanic, which allows you to change your appearance to access certain areas, is cleverly implemented and adds a layer of strategic depth to gameplay. The puzzles, while generally not overly challenging, are well-integrated into the environment and provide a satisfying sense of accomplishment when solved. The game also features a multitude of side quests and collectibles, keeping players engaged for a considerable amount of time.

Graphically, LEGO City Undercover holds up remarkably well. The vibrant colours and charming LEGO aesthetic are consistently pleasing to the eye. The frame rate is generally stable, ensuring smooth and responsive gameplay. However, there are occasional instances of minor texture pop-in, particularly in more densely populated areas of the city. The load times are acceptable, though not exceptionally fast, and rarely disrupt the flow of the gameplay. The controls are intuitive and responsive, making navigating the city and engaging with the game mechanics a joy.

Pros:

• Vast and detailed open world
• Large collection of vehicles
• Clever disguise mechanic
• Engaging gameplay loop
• Visually appealing graphics

Cons:

• Occasional texture pop-in

Overall, LEGO City Undercover (WBP40066) on PS4 is a highly enjoyable and charming open-world adventure. While it might not reinvent the wheel in terms of gameplay mechanics, its vast scale, engaging gameplay loop, and charming presentation make it a compelling experience. The occasional minor technical issues are easily overlooked given the overall positive experience it offers. I wholeheartedly recommend this title to fans of LEGO games, open-world exploration, and light-hearted adventures. It’s a game that’s fun for the whole family and provides a significant amount of playtime.
