LEGO® City Undercover
In my opinion this is by far the most entertaining out of all the Lego games. Both my son and I have spent a lot of hours in it. The story line is pretty long, and there is a ridiculous amount of activities and unlockable items. Activity completion is tracked with gold bricks, of which there is something like 500 of them. After 80 hours of gameplay we have only reached 220.
The detail level is amazing. The environment is a large city with a mix of destructable Lego builds and more conventional FPS terrain. I like that all the vehicles are Lego builds, and all have working damage and physics effects. For instance driving a semi w/trailer acts the way you would expect, including trying to move a trailer in reverse, or running across uneven terrain. You can even hop in the driver seat of the commuter train. And there is a working roller coaster. So much detail.

Lego City: Undercover
Story
In terms of a story driven game, it’s good. I really like the humour and nods to moves, TV shows, genres, songs, other games, and of course Lego.
You are Chase McCain. Detective & undercover policeman extraordinaire. You ride into Lego City on a silver… ocean freighter… and save the day! … But do you get the girl? O_O I guess you’ll have to play it to find out.
I don’t know if the directors / voice actors took queues from the Simpsons, but there were times that felt very reminiscent of that.

Diorama Builder
What a lovely game! It is beautifully designed and wonderful to play. For an early access game, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the game flowed… no bugs at all… and I am looking forward for more content! Another great tool in the game is their hint system… they call it a “mesh” where it can help you locate where the pieces go… but it gives you three views of the mesh… None, level only, and the entire level. It would be very frustrating to play without it.
I played the entire game (at present with 6 levels) in just under 8 hours and easily made all 50 achievements. The music is very soothing and I especially love how after you have completed each puzzle that you can interact with it for even more effects!

If the names Duplo and Legos make your heart beat faster, this game is for you- that’s all you need to know.
More? Ok, fiiine.

There are six diorama scenes, ranging from the easy(er) Western with very little interior detail to the fairly complex Egyptian Pyramid or Chinese Pagoda.
-
At some points you will be almost pixel hunting to trigger the proper placement of the various bits and bobs.

Don’t assume the appearance of all pieces in the build list will necessarily match 100% with the item on the build area, some of them are little chameleons. Some of them are just little jerks and make you wish for a tiny virtual hammer that would allow you to crush them into virtual plastic paste.

Chess Knights: High Noon
Incredible game!! This is definitely the most fun game in the Chess Knights series! I love western movies and this game has the perfect western vibe! In the other games, you could only survive, escapingfrom the enemies, but now you are a badass gunslinger and you only advance if you eliminate all enemies on the level! The puzzle continues with the same quality from Minimol games, but now we have the addition of Duel mode, which forces you to think and act very fast, just like in a real duel! I can’t wait for the full release!

I really like the games in the Chess Knights series. When I saw this game announced with this theme I confess that I found it unusual.
Well, what I can say is that this game just became my new favorite in the series.
In addition to the game being beautiful like the others, and counting very well elaborated puzzles (ranging from the simplest ones that present the mechanics, to the most challenging ones), the theme was very well implemented, including the duel, which is very well incorporated gameplay dynamics in a way I didn’t imagine for a game inspired by chess.
