One minute, you may be beating up some baddies in the Industrial zone, and the next minute, you may be helping a kid light a campfire in the wilderness. Whether it's Edna Modes' sprawling high-tech mansion or the seaside waterfront of New Urbem, The Incredibles' universe is free for the players to explore seamlessly without any load times between. Players have the option to take a break from the story and explore the open world, which is broken out into 10 regions across various environments and aesthetics. They want charm, color, and stress-free gameplay - and in that regard, LEGO The Incredibles delivers with great success.

Without spoiling either movie's plot, it makes for a nonsensical story arc.Īlas, most people don't go into the LEGO games expecting emotionally charged drama and life-altering thought pieces. This is exacerbated even further by the fact that TT Games has made the odd decision to start the game with "The Incredibles 2" and then tack on the first movie's story as the last six missions. In the end, the plot loses all the magic that Pixar so lovingly weaves into its characters and films.

On the other hand, because the movie plots have been distilled to six missions that can be beaten in a couple of hours, story beats and tone-setting scenes are skipped entirely. On the one hand, it's a smart decision to quickly run through the story for players who want quick doses of nostalgia and for kids whose attention spans may wander too quickly. Packing both movies into 12 missions is a double-edged sword, and I'm not sure if it's to the game's overall benefit.
