LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes 2

Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 is probably the worst Lego game I've played in the usual style of Traveler's Tales games. There are tons of glitches where the characters get stuck and force you to play entire levels over again from the beginning. Without even trying to sequence break, characters just clip into the ground or into various objects through normal gameplay and it makes progression impossible without a reset. The main villain, Kang, is kind of disappointing too. After his initial takeover, he kind of just sits in his ship until the final confrontation. Compared to something like Mysterio (Super Heroes 1), Brainiac (Batman 3), or the Justice Syndicate (DC Super Villains), he's a lot less active in the story. The game randomly locks you out of accessing your map in the hub world and prevents you from doing races as well. This can be fixed by exiting to the main menu, but why should I have to do that? Maybe not being able to do races is a blessing since some of them require you to have specific vehicle types that can only be obtained from challenges. Unlike DC Supervillains, there are no hints for said challenges. Time to open YouTube. Classic characters from the first Super Heroes game like the Fantastic Four and the X-men are gone. Not that they would fare much better if they were present, since Hulk and Iron Man are absent for 90% of the story despite being at the forefront of the story in the first game. Most pink bricks (the new red bricks) feel kind of pointless since they are locked behind Gwenpool missions, which are locked behind random missions in the hub world, so you probably won't get them until you've already completed most of the post game. I really wanted to like this game since I've enjoyed most of the other Lego games I've played with this style of gameplay, but it just feels like an unfinished cash grab. It has a lot of content, but without the polish you'd expect from Traveller's Tales. Honestly, you're better off playing any of the other games based on the Marvel/DC comics instead of this mediocrity. Note: The Hydra Hijinks level's final mini kit almost made me give up on completion. It is by far the worst mini kit I've ever obtained, and it's because piloting the plane controls like a drunk man walking a straight line.
