Combining the fan-pleasing LEGO game formula
with the story, characters and action of the LEGO
Ninjago Movie, this family-friendly adventure
is busting at the seams with brick-bashing
fun. Featuring eight open-world environments,
dozens of playable characters and four game
modes - including co-op and competitive play
- this content-packed title is perfect for fans
looking to relive the entire film or just enjoy a
quick match against friends.
As ninja favorites Lloyd, Nya, Jai, Kai, Cole,
Zane and Master Wu, players can kick brick,
conquer quests, gather collectibles and solve
puzzles, all while defending their Ninjago island
home from evil Lord Garmadon's toothy army
of sharks. Behind characters capable of wallrunning, grappling and high jumping, fans will
also inhabit the most acrobatic minifigures the
LEGO game franchise has ever seen.

Picking up after the events of the excellent
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, this ambitious
follow-up weaves an all-new, original tale,
complete with favorite characters and familiar
locations from all corners of the Marvel
universe. Anchored in the massive, open hub
world of Chronopolis, the sequel unleashes
players in Asgard, Knowhere, Wakanda and
beyond.
Harnessing the unique powers of a diverse
cast of iconic heroes and villains, fans will battle
all types of brick-based threats, collect oodles of
colorful studs, solve puzzles and ultimately face
big bad Kang the Conqueror. Fresh features to
the popular LEGO formula include the power to
manipulate time and a Super Hero battle mode
that allows players to compete - or cooperate
- with up to four friends in Marvel-themed
challenges and arenas.

A charming, modern-day take on the
anthropomorph-starring platformers of the past,
Super Lucky's Tale is a personality-packed
adventure featuring a whimsical world, a brave
fox and his furry friends and foes. As cute as it
is colorful, this accessible, all-ages entry sees
players assuming the role of the titular, fluffy-tailed
hero as he helps his sister rescue the mysterious
Book of Ages.
On his path to recovering the powerful tome,
Lucky will gain allies, from friendly yetis to an
army of helpful worms, and encounter enemies
determined to hinder his progress. On top of
combating quirky menaces and solving clever
puzzles with Lucky's unique abilities - including
his signature burrow move - players can tackle
mini games, complete obstacle courses and
even uncover surprise bonus stages hidden in
foxholes.

SYSTEMS PS4
PlayStation's newest platforming protagonist
returns in a fresh, action-cranking adventure aimed
at existing fans and complete Knack newcomers.
Building on the transforming hero's awesome ability to alter his size - from two feet tall to a towering
giant - the sequel piles on plenty of new powers
and skills, encouraging players to experiment when
besting baddies and cracking conundrums.
Knack II's more sophisticated combat system
includes 20-plus dynamic moves, from body
slams to boomerang attacks, but still remains
accessible to those just looking to crack some
robot heads. Of course, those looking to do
even more damage can pilot enemy-crushing
tanks and mechs. Players are welcome to brave
Knack's new story-driven quest solo, but they
can also recruit a friend for some cooperative,
combo-fueled, bot-bashing action.
