Lego Dimensions is the best toys-to-life game this season

Imagine Batman getting drawn through a dimensional portal and thrown into the world of Oz. While following the Yellow Brick Road, he stumbles upon Dorothy and her companions. Mistaking the Scarecrow for the archenemy he’s faced many times in the past, Batman immediately demands Dorothy turn him over, citing that he’s a heartless villain. “No, I’m the one without a heart,” the Tin Man interjects.

This is just one example of the entertaining and frequently humorous writing in Lego Dimensions, the epic, world-spanning crossover entry in the toys-to-life genre from veteran Lego game developer Traveller’s Tales (available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360).
