Developer: TT Games
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
Genre: Action-Adventure / Co-op
Release: 2017
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is a large-scale superhero crossover adventure that brings together hundreds of Marvel characters across different timelines and realities. It expands on the original games formula with a massive open hub world, time-manipulation themes, and an even bigger roster. While it delivers the usual LEGO charm and co-op fun, it is also widely seen as more uneven than its predecessor due to repetitive mission design, a bloated open world, and inconsistent pacing.
The core LEGO gameplay loop remains familiar:
Third-person action-adventure combat
Character switching with unique abilities
Environmental puzzle-solving
Local co-op drop-in/drop-out play
Collectibles and unlockable characters
The big new feature is Chronopolis, a hub world made from merged Marvel locations across time and space.
Gameplay highlights:
Huge roster of Marvel heroes and villains
Character abilities tied to powers (flight, telekinesis, web-swinging, etc.)
Time-based mechanics linked to the villain Kang the Conqueror
Variety of side activities and mini-missions
Combat is:
Simple and accessible
Designed for casual fun rather than depth
Functional but repetitive over long sessions
The games biggest issue is repetition:
Many missions rely on similar fight enemies switch character solve simple puzzle loops
Boss encounters often follow predictable patterns and shield mechanics
While its easy to pick up and play, it rarely evolves mechanically in meaningful ways.
Chronopolis is the games defining feature:
A massive hub combining locations like Ancient Egypt, Noir New York, Wakanda-style regions, and futuristic cities
Open-world structure with many collectibles and side missions
Strengths:
Extremely varied Marvel locations in one space
Fun to explore for fans of the universe
Packed with characters, secrets, and references
Weaknesses:
The world is often described as bloated and cluttered
Many activities feel like filler (races, fetch quests, simple combat challenges)
Travel between objectives can feel slow and repetitive
Some areas lack meaningful interaction despite their scale
While ambitious, the open world is often considered less focused and less engaging than earlier LEGO games.
Visually, the game is colourful and varied:
Distinct art styles for each time period
Bright, stylised LEGO environments
Smooth character animations during combat and cutscenes
Strengths:
Strong visual variety across Chronopolis regions
Recognisable Marvel character designs
Good performance on PS4 overall
Weaknesses:
Some environments feel less LEGO-built and more like standard textures
Visual clutter can make exploration confusing
Technical polish is uneven in busy areas
Overall, it is visually appealing but not consistently refined.
Audio design supports the Marvel tone:
Orchestral superhero-style soundtrack
Humorous voice performances
Character-specific sound effects
Highlights:
Strong Marvel atmosphere
Voice acting generally fits the LEGO tone
Music enhances cinematic moments
Weaknesses:
Some voice performances feel inconsistent
Dialogue humour can be hit-or-miss
Repetitive combat audio cues
The game includes:
Story campaign
Free play mode for replaying levels with unlocked characters
Side missions and challenges
Collectible hunting across Chronopolis
Local co-op multiplayer
Replay value comes from:
Massive character roster
Completionist collectibles
Exploring different regions of Chronopolis
However:
Repetitive mission structure reduces long-term engagement
Side content can feel like filler rather than meaningful gameplay
Open world activities lack variety over time
Huge roster of Marvel characters across eras
Fun LEGO co-op gameplay
Creative Chronopolis hub world concept
Strong Marvel fan service and references
Varied environments and visual themes
Accessible for all ages
Repetitive combat and mission structure
Bloated open world with filler content
Uneven pacing and storytelling
Boss fights can feel repetitive
Less tightly designed than earlier LEGO entries
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 on PS4 is an ambitious and content-rich Marvel crossover that delivers plenty of fan service and co-op fun, but struggles with repetition, bloated world design, and uneven mission structure.
Its enjoyable in short bursts, especially for Marvel fans or younger players, but it doesnt reach the tighter design or consistency of the strongest LEGO games.
Score: 7 / 10
