If novels and movies can provide philosophical commentary on the real world, there is surely no reason why a videogame can't do the same. I would argue, in fact, that videogames are uniquely qualified to provide this sort of insight, requiring human interaction as they do. I've been playing LEGO Batman: The Videogame for two weeks now, and I just last night realized what messages it's been sending me.
Earlier this year, I took my daughter to watch The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. She loves Lucy & Emmet! We also visited The LEGO Space Hollywood & had a great time being immersed in the world of all things LEGO.
One of the things that my daughter loves to do during her downtime from school & sports is to play the Nintendo Switch. Sometimes she will play it with her dad but more often than not, she plays games on the Switch by herself.
The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame is based on events that take place in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part from Warner Bros. Pictures. The story begins in the desolated wasteland of Apocalypseburg where alien invaders have left Bricksburg in ruins!

The Lego Movie was awesome, so I have no doubt the game will be just as great! I am happy to see this game being released on Nintendo Switch as it is portable and can keep the kiddos entertained when traveling.
