It’s been a while since I played Lego Dimensions, but I had Zelda, you know? And turning on the PS4 was hard. But, I did have one last level pack to play through – Mission: Impossible.
As with the rest of Lego Dimensions, this was completed in co-op with my daughter. She has no idea what Mission: Impossible is, even less so than she did with any of the other packs. Not that it really mattered.
From what I recall – and it was some time ago – this pack is the first Tom Cruise Mission: Impossible film. There’s the same confusing face-swapping and double/triple/quadruple crossing, and the climax is a fight in the Channel Tunnel. The level itself is pretty standard Lego fare, with nothing too out of the ordinary (unlike, say, Adventure Time or Doctor Who). Ethan Hunt’s drone is nice. His face swapping is good too. It’s a shame there’s not more made of it, though.
The game is pretty big, enjoyable, and has Mr T in it. With that in mind, the list of levels now goes: Sonic the Hedgehog > Adventure Time > Midway Arcade > Portal 2 > Doctor Who > Mission: Impossible > The Simpsons > Ghostbusters > Back to the Future.
It’s been a while, partly due to holidays and partly due to my damn fingers still hurting. Which means I’ve three weeks of stuff to post about. Which mainly means one game.
Play
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch)
Over 100 hours on Breath of the Wild now. I think, possibly, I may have done all I want to. I found all the memories, all the shrines, completed (and fully upgraded) some armour sets, and fought Ganon again. I’ve explored, farmed dragons, beaten a White Maned Lynel, completed most of the side quests, and found about 200 koroks. Sure, there are more koroks. And quests. But there’s no purpose to any of it any more.
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (PS4)
Which is… good. It’s different to Unity in several important ways – character switching being one, territory take-overs being another – but the core gameplay is the same as it ever was. It feels a lot like Assassin’s Creed Revelations so far, with the gangs being not dissimilar to that game’s assassins. It was a little bizarre that the game opened properly in Whitechapel, which is where I was on holiday. So far, I’m on Sequence 4 or 5. It’s a little hard to tell as the story missions seem to be mingled with the non-story side missions.
Lego Dimensions (PS4)
After a break, we (my daughter and I) were back on this to start, and complete, the Mission: Impossible level pack. It’s based on the first film (as in, the first one with Tom Cruise in rather than anything from the original TV series), and is pretty good fun. Ethan Hunt’s drone thing is great, and it’s typical funny Lego game stuff.
Picross e7 (3DS)
It’s more picross. A lot of picross, actually. I’m sure this is the biggest Picross e game so far, as I’m 10 hours in and less than a third done.
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (3DS)
It’s better than Breath of the Wild. Probably. Maybe. Just a couple of hours in so far, and really enjoying it. Swapping weapons is a bit of a chore, but then it always was. I’m actually not missing the open world of Breath of the Wild either, which I thought I would, but then Breath of the Wild isn’t a Zelda game in any way bar name and theme. So there’s that.
Want
Some Switch games. Yes, they’re out, but I haven’t bought them yet: Lego City Undercover, Blaster Master Zero, Little Inferno and Shovel Knight Treasure Trove. Really should complete (or at least play more) of Neo Turf Masters and Fast RMX before I do that. Also: Sonic Mania.
Bin
Fingers. And hands, feet, legs, lips, nose, arms… most of my skin. Itchy, not tasty.
Expense
Very little. I did pick up Galactic Civilisations (PC) for free from Humble, and got Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – Director’s Cut (PS4) for £1.99 in the PSN Easter sale. That’s it!
