If you want to unlock many different characters, you’ll need a lot.

It’s also the never-ending quest to collect more Lego studs. While the main story with some extra exploring will keep you going for a good 10+ hours, wringing out every collectible and doing every side mission and odd job around New York will take many more. It’s been like this since way back with the original Lego Star Wars games, forcing you to come back on Freeplay with any character of your choosing to find every collectible.

When playing through the levels in story mode, you control a limited group of heroes, which means you’ll only have access to some of the powers needed to explore every area. It’s nice to be able to just enjoy a game full of Marvel characters and locations without being tied down to their movie counterparts. Some more closely resembling their MCU counterpart and the more traditional designs, at the time, some were likely deeper cuts into the wide selection of named villains to have in the game.

As you bust up everything in sight for the ever precious Lego studs, you’ll encounter a surprising amount of Marvel villains for fights. To save the world, you’ll be visiting notable Marvel universe locations, such as the Raft, X-Men Mansion and Stark Tower. Now it’s a race against time between heroes and villains to collect those bricks, and just maybe the heroes can stop Galactus from consuming the world. Doctor Doom shoots down The Silver Surfer upon finding Earth, destroying his cosmic board into cosmic bricks. His herald, the Silver Surfer, is scouting for new planets to consume. The ever-hungry planet devourer Galactus is out in space, eating everything in his path. So much more has happened since, in the Marvel universe, it’s almost like a stroll down memory lane when the Marvel Cinematic Universe was still truly coming together. LMSH manages to be a mashup of characters inspired by their movie counterparts while also managing to get the X Men and Fantastic 4 involved. Lego Marvel Super Heroes (LMSH) is from that period in time when the Marvel movies had reached The Avengers, with Guardians of the Galaxy on the way. It’s time to suit up, team up and go Hulk Smash some bricks. It’s been a while, but finally, we can play the original Lego Marvel Super Heroes on the Switch.
