Overcomplicating A Simple Concept

I really enjoyed all the LEGO games up to this one to be totally honest... but this one turned down a dark road that made it hard to like. The simple playstyle was seemingly "overhauled" and incorporated redesigned controls for lots of simple commands that players had become familiar, and comfortable with from all the previous titles. That being said it's really kind of hard to have a love for this game when so much of it was changed and turned into a semi-complicated mess. The one saving grace I will grant it was the capability to go back to levels after their completion and being able to go through the level in a state of ruin which was pretty cool and fun. I'm actually bummed to have to slam this game because so much joy has been had with previous titles that making me hate a LEGO game really pisses me off. Shame on you T.T. Games!
