Based on The Lego Ninjago Movie, it was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One, alongside the film, in North America on 22 September 2017, and worldwide on 20 October 2017.
The player controls one of the main characters from a third-person perspective, primarily fighting enemies, solving puzzles, and collecting Lego 'studs', the game's form of currency.
Each location contains a unique Challenge Dojo where players can test combat skills while battling increasingly tougher enemies and a single boss.
The increased focus on combat pays off with a fleshed out system that makes each character feel unique, while the free-running provides enough safety nets to keep you from getting frustrated.
Despite a couple of technical hiccups and a poorly thought out ending, Lego Ninjago has so much going for it that the overall experience isn't dampened.
The Battle Maps are a fun way to duke it out with friends and family, and the Challenge Dojo helps players perfect their ninja reflexes.
