Lego Worlds: The World Builder We All Needed

Lego Worlds: The World Builder We All Needed
IGN.com

The days of joystick gaming are almost lost to the world forever. No more two-dimensional brick laying or yellow circular blobs eating smaller circular blobs for points. No, we are at the time in gaming history where we demand creativity. Minecraft started that a few years ago, but Lego Worlds is changing the world building, exploring, and riding of replica Lego creatures with their expansion to the console world. Instead of three-dimensional cubes of land or material, simply pick a Lego brick shape, color, and start singly placing your bricks or shoot them out all at once with the build tool.

I can't comment much on Minecraft, since the last time I played that beautifully scored game was about three years ago while I was babysitting, but there weren't quests involved. Grab your stone or wood shovel and get digging! Look out for the Creepers and make sure you have enough meat for yourself. Or you could jump into creative mode and build the castle replica of Hogwarts, although many survivalists will argue that the creative mood is technically cheating at the game. There is none of that hoopla in Lego Worlds. Death is possible, endless creativity is possible through finding brick elements, and there is distinct creatures and people you encounter in the various biomes throughout the game. Not to mention the built-in optional quests with the main goal to become a master builder.

I'm not trying to say that Lego Worlds is perfect though. Minecraft still has the edge with easy of building. I find myself simply placing down pre-built structures more in Lego Worlds, simply to the lack of ease of the build tool within the game. Each Lego piece is replicated from actual Lego pieces, automatically screaming danger to those who simply want to make something quick. Is that what master builders do, though? Nope. Attention to detail is a part of the game, while allowing those quick moves, but to build that replica castle, you'll need to set aside major time, more than those pesky cubes that placed oh so easily.

Another thing Lego Worlds has over the competition is the brand name. Who doesn't love Lego? Sure, Minecraft has built a brand and started the world building genre for the generation of gamers' today, but Lego is Lego. All I'm saying is find yourself an eagle in the game and fly around the various biomes. The game is gorgeous, still a little wonky due to needed patch updates, but overall a way to let your mind really expand past the stereotypical limit many past games have kept on its' players.

Has anyone seen the legendary 2x6 brick anywhere?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
