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."

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

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderYou 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.
Quoting: StoneColdSpiderWill 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.Quoting: PhiladelphusIt'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.
Quoting: CatKillerESDFers, 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.
