Lego Dimensions

Lego Dimensions features the same style of gameplay as the previous Lego video games developed by Traveller's Tales, in which up to two players control Lego minifigures based on various represented franchises. Players progress through linear levels, using their characters' abilities to solve puzzles, defeat enemies, collect collectibles such as Minikits, Characters in Peril, and Gold Bricks, and attempt to reach the level's end. Collecting in-game currency known as Studs fills a gauge called the Rule Breaker Gauge, and completely filling the gauge unlocks a Gold Brick. Characters are entered into the game by placing their respective minifigures onto a USB toy pad, with each character possessing unique abilities that can be used to solve puzzles or reach hidden areas.

Using a character from a certain franchise will also unlock that franchise's Adventure World, an open-world area for players to explore and complete in-game objectives. Some sections of the game require players to move their characters to different spots on the toy pad.

Lord Vortech, a shapeshifting and dimension-travelling entity, and his robotic servant X-PO arrive on Foundation Prime, a planet at the center of the Lego multiverse. They seek the twelve Foundation Elements, the cornerstones of time and space, to merge all dimensions into one under Vortech's governance. These elements, such as the ruby slippers, the One Ring and a piece of kryptonite, were scattered across the multiverse long ago; when recovered, they will release the Foundation of All Dimensions, a force that grants control over the multiverse. As X-PO doubts Vortech's ambition, Vortech decides that he no longer needs him and banishes him to the interdimensional void Vorton, disregarding the risk of harnessing the elements.

Vortech's body cannot handle further dimensional jumps, forcing him to open rifts to other dimensions and recruit their villains to his cause while taking heroes pulled through them hostage. This damages the boundaries between the multiverse, causing some of its aspects and inhabitants to be displaced.

Support for the game ended on 23 October 2017, with no more additional content or packs to be released, despite a three-year plan that had been devised, as well as a statement from associate producer Mark Warburton that the team had no intention of ending development after that point.

Lego Dimensions received "generally favorable reviews", according to review aggregator website Metacritic. 7 out of 10, saying "Lego Dimensions' great characters and fun references consistently left me with a big dumb grin on my face." 0, saying "In any game within the toys-to-life genre, there's sometimes an unspoken question: is this also a great toy or just a great game? In Lego Dimensions' case, the answer is easy: it's both."

They also praised the open world sections of the game, stating that "While they don't feature the same level of intricacy the main game provides, they do add several more hours each to the overall experience." Polygon awarded it 8 out of 10, saying "Where the game's innovative designs push forward what it means to blend toys and games into a single experience, the writing and both companies' willingness to dig deep into their vaults, pull the whole game together." Good Game: Spawn Point Hosts Bajo and Hex both awarded the game 3 out of 5. Praise was given to the puzzles and mechanics, commenting that it may be their favourite Lego game.
