Unreasonably good is the perfect description for cool spot.

To be fair, those are the exception to the general rule that licensed games suck.
And the LEGO games are sort of cheating. They have no right to be as good as they are.

X-Wing
Tie Fighter
X-Wing Alliance
Star Wars: KOTOR
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Hogwarts Legacy
The Thing
Aladdin
Blade RunnerAnd these are just a few off the top of my head that I’ve played.
Although to be fair, I guess we could just as easily reel off a list a garbage equivalents, but I think the throwaway that licensed games suck is a misconception.

Your list here and the one above it are all full of great examples, and we didn’t even mention Batman: Arkham Asylum.
ByteJunk@lemmy.world 1 day ago
KOTOR is such an amazing game… I’ve replayed it recently hoping it would ruin my childhood recollection of it being god tier. It didn’t, it’s still an amazing game after all these years

I also remember a great LOTR Two Towers game that game out around the movie

those suck

I wouldn’t put the LEGO games on that list. Traveller’s Tales just basically copy-pasted most games, to the point 3 were releasing within the same year.
It made them horribly bland.

Nah, all of the one’s I’ve played are fun. I’m sure there are duds, but here are my favorites:
- Marvel Superheroes
- both Harry Potter games
- Jurassic Park
- Lego Movie
- The Hobbit

Any LEGO game can be good if it’s your first LEGO game. None of them are badly made, with the exception of a few, but they’re all made the same way.
If you’ve played one…
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
If you’ve played one, you want to play another. There’s not a ton of gameplay differences between them, but that’s not what I play them for, I like the silly take on the story, the puzzles can be fun and satisfying, and the collectibles are fun to find.
LEGO games are the comfort food of games IMO, you know exactly what you’re getting and it’s satisfying.

I’m going to save this as an example of cherry picking
