It’s the one Lego franchise my boy hasn’t really gotten into. I showed him the announcement and he hopes there’s some generous “free play”, like in the other Lego games.

There is so much to do, I have been trying to 100% some parts and it’s just so huge, but in a good way that it doesn’t feel like a chore. But yes, IIRC the free-play opens up once you have done the starting mission(s) in those areas. And you can start any trilogy first but you do at least need to start the first episode in each trilogy. Of course, some areas are visited in many missions across other episodes. That being said, as much as it tries to replicate that episodic movie nature, it is very compressed. If you want I would highly recommend watching the movies prior to playing that respective one in the game.

Coming Soon to Game Pass

10 January 2023

The first Coming Soon to GP announcement of the year, and it’s a bit, well, meh. (Meh in announcement terms - the games are great!) Just three titles announced, all known to be coming since late last year already.

It does seem to support the strong rumour that Xbox are planning to move to regular Nintendo Direct-style presentations, with the first one happening before the end of the month. (I’ve seen 24th or 25th being pushed as most likely dates).

See Xbox Developer-Direct.

Two great Persona games! I saw that P3P is going to be launched on Steam too, but… Atlus seems to have taken the opportunity to increase P4G from R220 to R369… I completely regret putting off buying it… :expressionless:

Pity. I’ve only completed it twice and I think still had 3 more characters to complete it with.

I’m currently playing P3P on the PSP and I’m really enjoying it. I was gonna wait for the remaster but I finished both Royal and Strikers and needed new Persona. Hope to get P4G for the Switch when I’m done. I already have it on steam but I dunno, Persona works better as a handheld game for me.

Damn, really looking forward to Monster Hunter Rise.

Ya, I finished P4G on my Vita/PSTV before I sold them, so I’m actually thinking more SMTIII as my next, but it’s a full priced game and I just don’t have those kinds of funds atm…

3 Likes

I really want to give SMT a go as well. I’m thinking SMT V on the Switch. It’s a bit hard to find/too expensive for me right now though.

I already preloaded it :wink: AMPED!
