The absolutely charming building-puzzle adventure game LEGO Bricktales is getting a free content update ready for Easter. Quite a lovely game overall, and great for a younger audience too — why should adults get all the fun?
From the email sent to me here's what's coming:
- A beautifully crafted Easter diorama.
- A storyline where you have to help the Easter bunny save Easter.
- 5 new construction puzzles. Four with a specific challenges and one being an open area where you can build more freely.
- 1 collection quest - Easter eggs will be hidden in the other existing worlds that you can find and use to purchase items.
- 3 new wardrobe items (purchasable with eggs players have found in the world).
- 1 new music track.
- A new menu entry to notify you of ongoing updates.
No date is being given for the update just yet but they did additionally explain: "The LEGO® Bricktales free Easter update introduces an egg-cellent new story set in a small Easter world. This world becomes accessible if the player has cleared the first world (Jungle). On completion, an entrance will appear in the park leading you to the new diorama where you’ll meet the friendly Easter bunny who has a problem with making eggs for this year’s Easter celebration. Disgruntled chickens and snow damage keep them from reaching their goals, so you will need to use your quick thinking and puzzle-solving abilities to help them save Easter."

It's on my wishlist, ooh, and it's on sale until March 6. I quite enjoyed LEGO Builder's Journey, sooo…why do you keep doing this to my poor wallet, Liam? What did it ever do to you? 
Fake edit: Oh, it's also <1 GB, nice and small.

Why has it got a better discount on Steam than on Gog? 🤔

You will have to let us know what you think of it...... It is also on my wishlist.........It got as far as my library a while back (Linux native, so full price purchase), but there were too many other things to take up my little one's attention at the time so I didn't install it. I've done so now, and he seems to be having a great time with it.
Edit: Oh. According to the Steam forums, you can't change the controls away from WASD, which is obviously a huge flaw. It doesn't currently affect us because the little one's playing on the Deck, but it's a kick in the teeth for anyone that wants to play it on desktop PC.

Thanks for the infoESDFers, southpaws, and the French are particularly affected. I've put a nudge on their forum (in case they don't realise that it's important) and a tutorial video on how to do adjustable key bindings in Unity (in case they just don't know how), but the low number of reviews and comment threads suggests it hasn't sold all that well so they might just not bother even with those bits of information. It's a shame.

Will do. I've gotten sidetracked by PlateUp! again right after installing*, but I'll try to get around to reporting back before the sale ends.It's on my wishlist, ooh, and it's on sale until March 6.

*One of the best flow-state-producing games for me in years.
ESDFers, southpaws, and the French are particularly affected.Just the way you said that made it sound like the setup to a joke. "An ESDFer, a southpaw, and a French person walk into a gaming convention…"
But seriously, good on ya for reporting that, and especially for providing information about how to fix it.

Ah. They've today put up a request for feedback, so I think I'll go through the survey with my little one and highlight that deficiency in a PC game. Maybe they will spare the dev resources to fix it after all?

Did they add support for multiple save slots? That was the other thing that was blatantly missing at release.

I bought the game yesterday, and I'm loving it! One thing that I find a bit annoying though, is that the screen occasionally flickers a bit when playing, and I have no idea what's causing it. The game has also frozen on me on the splash screen a couple of times, but other than that, it works smoothly.

You will have to let us know what you think of it...... It is also on my wishlist.........Finally tore myself away from other games long enough to put some more time into it. It's a nice enough game, though as mentioned the locked WASD and other controls could be a big problem. You can move your character around by holding down the left mouse button, but in practice I much preferred walking with WASD. The environments I found to be gorgeous, all these large well-crafted LEGO dioramas to move about in. Gameplay so far (~2 hours in) seems to be a mix of a Metroidvania traversal around (I've already unlocked two ability which open up new sections of maps) with collecting items and puzzle elements. These turned out to have a surprising (to me) structural component, as much of the time you need to build bridges or stairs to progress, and like Bridge Constructor there's a simulation element where you have to get a little robot across without your construction breaking. Once you've completed a puzzle (which have limited numbers of a pre-set set of bricks), you can go back and build on it in sandbox mode with more types and unlimited numbers of bricks if you want (which can be pretty fun, not having to worry about running out of a particular style of brick like in real life!). Storywise it feels like it's aiming at a kid audience, which isn't too surprising, though it may be a tad simplistic for adults. I haven't had any issues with stability or screen flashing myself. Overall it feels like a pretty high-quality effort, with good animations and visuals and a competent building mode, though I kind of miss a "run" functionality for getting around (maybe there's something later that helps with that, I don't know). That said, how fun you find it will depend on you; it was fun enough to keep going while I was in it, but now that I've quit to write this I find other games calling my name…
