If you enjoy gaming as a parent, the LEGO collection is the perfect way to get the whole family involved.Ģ. The game encourages creativity and players to use their building skills to overcome obstacles, plus it’s one of the better-value games on our list – a bargain considering the sheer potential for play. Why we love it: It’s a great starting point to get children interested in games as the characters are easy to control and frankly it’s fun to make them run around, bash stuff and collect coins! Kids love the chance to play as a number of different characters and there’s something to appeal in the gameplay for all ages – while playing co-op (where players can work together as teammates), younger children can run around and collect coins while occasionally helping older players solve problems and older children can take on the challenges themselves. There are themes of teamwork and friendship woven into the game.
Gamers can play as over 100 different characters to solve problems and build objects. The latest to hit the shelves is The Lego Movie 2 Videogame, released to accompany the film and it loosely follows the movie’s plot. What it is: For many years LEGO games have given parents and children the chance to dive into popular franchises, from Jurassic Park and The Incredibles to Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.
The Lego Movie 2 Videogame, £24.99 – best for playing as a team
