Developer: TT Games
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
Genre: Action-Adventure / Co-op
Release: 2018
LEGO The Incredibles is a colourful, family-friendly action-adventure that combines both Pixar films into a standard LEGO gameplay structure. It delivers solid co-op fun, a charming interpretation of the Incredibles universe, and a surprisingly enjoyable open hub world but it also suffers from repetitive mission design, uneven pacing, and the usual LEGO formula fatigue that longtime players will immediately recognise.
At its core, LEGO The Incredibles follows the familiar TT Games formula:
Third-person combat and exploration
Character switching with unique abilities
Environmental puzzle-solving
Collecting studs, bricks, and unlockables
Drop-in/drop-out local co-op
Each member of the Parr family has distinct abilities:
Mr. Incredible focuses on strength-based combat
Elastigirl uses stretching for traversal
Dash excels at speed challenges
Violet uses invisibility and shields
Jack-Jack has multiple chaotic powers unlocked later
Gameplay is:
Accessible and easy for all ages
Designed around cooperative play and experimentation
Light, casual, and forgiving
Combat and puzzles are simple but functional, with most encounters relying on basic button-mashing and environmental interaction.
However:
Combat becomes repetitive quickly
Puzzle complexity is very low
Mission structure rarely evolves beyond fight, switch character, solve simple obstacle
Its enjoyable in short bursts, but not particularly deep.
The games standout feature is its open-world hub combining locations from both films.
You explore:
Municiberg
New Urbem
Surrounding regions and islands
Strengths:
Surprisingly large and lively LEGO city hub
Packed with collectibles, races, and side activities
Crime Wave missions add structured side content
Fun traversal using character abilities
As noted in reviews, these crime wave missions help break up the standard loop and feel more engaging than typical LEGO side tasks. ()
Weaknesses:
Open world can feel cluttered with repetitive objectives
Many activities are simple filler (fetch quests, races, combat zones)
Travel can become repetitive over time
Still, its one of the more enjoyable LEGO hub worlds due to its verticality and variety.
The game adapts:
The Incredibles (2004)
Incredibles 2 (2018)
Interestingly, it begins with the second film before the first, which some players found confusing. ()
The story is presented in typical LEGO fashion:
Comedic retelling of key movie scenes
Light parody elements and slapstick humour
Dialogue adapted or replaced with LEGO-style humour
Themes include:
Family teamwork
Heroism and responsibility
Balancing normal life with superhero duties
While faithful to the source material, the story feels:
Slightly rushed in structure
Uneven in pacing due to switching between two films
More like a highlight reel than a full narrative experience
Still, fans of the movies will appreciate the familiarity and humour.
Visually, the game is strong for a LEGO title:
Bright, Pixar-inspired environments
Recognisable character designs
Smooth animations and particle effects
Faithful recreation of film locations
Strengths:
Strong visual identity tied closely to Pixar style
Good lighting and colourful presentation
Smooth performance on PS4
Weaknesses:
Some repetition in environmental assets
Occasional visual clutter in open-world areas
Not a major leap forward compared to other LEGO games
Overall, it captures the look and feel of the films very well.
The game includes:
Story campaign
Free play mode
Open-world exploration
Local co-op multiplayer
Collectibles and unlockable characters
Replay value comes from:
100% completion hunting
Unlocking all characters and abilities
Co-op experimentation
However:
Gameplay repetition reduces long-term engagement
Side activities become predictable
Once completed, theres limited reason to return
Fun and accessible LEGO gameplay
Excellent co-op experience
Strong Pixar-inspired presentation
Large and varied open-world hub
Good use of character abilities
Enjoyable for younger players and families
Repetitive mission structure
Very simple combat and puzzles
Open world filled with filler activities
Uneven pacing between two films
Limited innovation compared to other LEGO games
LEGO The Incredibles on PS4 is a charming and accessible family-friendly adventure that captures the spirit of Pixars superhero duo, but is held back by repetition and familiar LEGO formula limitations.
Its best enjoyed in co-op or by younger players, offering plenty of content and charm even if it doesnt stand out as one of TT Games most inventive entries.
Score: 7 / 10
