An open-world LEGO game closer to a family-friendly GTA: a full city to drive around, disguises that work like Metroid abilities, and genuinely funny writing that does not depend on knowing a licence. Loading times were notoriously long on Wii U, and the map has more collectibles than the collecting is worth.

Shorter and tighter than the game it follows: venom powers add real variation to combat, and a smaller winter New York with a more personal story avoids the padding of the original. Around eight hours. It reuses that map wholesale, and side activities are the same checklist the first game already exhausted.

The most content of any entry, with raids, settlement building and a genuinely long saga across England. Combat is heavier and more brutal than the previous games. Length is the problem — well over a hundred hours, with arcs that repeat their structure region by region, and it asks for far more time than its ideas sustain.
