Heya friends of the brick! It's been almost a week since the release of LEGO Bricktales, and things are slowly getting back on track for us. And I can't say it any other way than that we are super happy with how the game is being received by all of you! The second game update has also been released and fixes a few problems that you thankfully reported to us. We can not thank you enough for all the feedback - you are the best! Over the weekend, we also had some time to take a look at how LEGO Bricktales is rated by the press. And we are really happy and proud about that! Therefore, we would like to share a small excerpt from the press with you:

• Forbes "[...] Lego Bricktales is one of the most beautiful LEGO games to date."
• 4news.it / Score: 8.2 "LEGO Bricktales is a puzzle adventure that can provide a fair number of hours of entertainment. Its light and undemanding gameplay blends perfectly with some of the constructions that, on the other hand, require us to concentrate more and take longer to complete. The freedom that the developers have decided to allow us in the construction of our works is undoubtedly the most interesting aspect of this game."
• VG247 / Score: 4/5 "LEGO Bricktales is a breath of fresh air, and a tremendous surprise. Its not the longest experience in the world but I loved every minute of it, and still feel compelled to go back and improve some of my less satisfying builds."
• TheSixthAxis / Score: 8 "LEGO Bricktales is a wonderful adventure that's full of the charms of playing with the iconic construction toy in real life. It's a gorgeous digital rendition with all its exquisitely crafted dioramas a delight to behold, and with puzzles that lean on Lego's greatest strengths."
• IGN Espana / Score: 7 "LEGO Bricktales offers a building adventure at the height of the famous toy franchise."
• GodisaGeek.com / Score: 8 "LEGO Bricktales is a puzzler that takes you back to the early days of LEGO, when the freedom to build what you want took centre stage. There're plenty of opportunities to build, explore, and bask in the gentle humour that we could all do with a little more of."
• GamesRadar+ / Score: 3.5/5 "LEGO Bricktales is a relaxing and entertaining way to spend your time that does manage to recreate that tranquil vibe of building something, anything, out of LEGO."
• GamersHeroes / Score: 8.5 "LEGO Bricktales is exactly the kind of game you would expect as both a work of Thunderful Games and a product of the LEGO brand. Seeing your creations come to life, even visually sickening ones, is a rewarding experience and a must-play for LEGO enthusiasts."
• gamepressure.com / Score: 8 "Whats better than building your own LEGO structures? Not having to clean up after yourself when you are done playing. Lucky for youLEGO Bricktales lets you do just that."
• Fortress of Solitude / Score: 86% "LEGO Bricktales is a great game and definitely worth adding to your collection as a LEGO fan. With a mix of puzzle-solving and adventuring, youre able to combine an element of exploration and finding creative ways to solve tasks."
• TheGamer / Score: 3.5/5 "LEGO Bricktales is a puzzle adventure that tested my physics knowledge in ways Ive not encountered since I last tried - and failed - to help my kid with their science homework."
• Games.cz / Score: 9/10 "A unique Lego game based on playing with bricks. Excellent building puzzles offer an unprecedented number of solutions and the beautiful world is a joy to discover. In fact, it's a wonder that a game like this hasn't been made for a long time - it perfectly shows the creativity and playfulness typical of Danish building bricks."
• GameStar.hu "The great thing about LEGO Bricktales is that it doesn't reinvent anything, it just returns to the days when even on the video game front, it was all about building and children's brainstorming, rather than relying on outside franchises. [...] LEGO Bricktales is the best thing to happen to LEGO in the video game space in recent times."
• ScreenRant / Score: 3.5/5 "Overall, LEGO Bricktales, much like the similar LEGO Builder's Journey, is a great little puzzle game that provides a real sense of LEGO building to the player. The customization and cute story keep the game interesting and the sandbox mode is a great way to practice building real LEGO sets. There is never just one specific answer to a puzzle and mixing things up makes for a fun and enjoyable game that would work for LEGO fans of any age."
• Eurogamer "Part adventure game, part construction simulator, Lego Bricktales lays strong foundations for a truer type of Lego experience."
• IGN / Score: 7 "LEGO Bricktales is full of good ideas, and while there will always be a place for the licensed LEGO adventure games, this is a change of pace Id welcome more."
• Out of Lives: "Quite frankly, this is a LEGO game like no other. If youre bored by the prospect of collecting studs this is the LEGO game youve been waiting for. LEGO Bricktales unlocks your creativity while challenging your understanding of physics and architecture at the same time."
