LEGO The Hobbit
LEGO The Hobbit
Sorti le 8 avril 2014, LEGO The Hobbit est développé par Traveller's Tales et édité par WB Games et MGM Interactive. Le jeu invite à reprendre possession du Royaume perdu brique par brique, en suivant Bilbon Sacquet, Gandalf, Thorin et sa compagnie de nains dans une aventure épique à travers la Terre du Milieu pour reconquérir la Montagne Solitaire. Mélangeant aventure, jeu de rôle et réflexion, le titre propose d'explorer des lieux emblématiques comme la Comté ou Gobelinville, de combattre trolls et orques, et d'associer les capacités uniques des nains pour résoudre des énigmes, le tout porté par le moteur Nu2.
L'expérience principale demande environ neuf heures pour être bouclée, tandis qu'une approche complétionniste peut s'étendre jusqu'à trente-sept heures. Le jeu a été déployé sur une large palette de supports, comprenant les PlayStation 3 et 4, Xbox 360 et One, Wii U, PC (Windows et Mac), ainsi que les consoles portables Nintendo 3DS et PlayStation Vita. Il est proposé au tarif de 19,99 euros.
Côté réception critique, les agrégateurs Metacritic et OpenCritic lui attribuent des moyennes respectives de 68 et 71, pour une note globale pondérée de 70,16. La presse spécialisée a globalement salué l'ampleur du projet : Digital Chumps souligne un monde plus vaste, des éléments de gameplay améliorés et une expérience plus profonde que prévu, tandis que Game Revolution le classe parmi les meilleures entrées de la série, louant l'apport de nouvelles mécaniques.
L'accueil des joueurs est en revanche marqué par une frustration majeure concernant la conclusion du récit. Plusieurs avis sur Metacritic et Steam regrettent vivement l'absence du troisième et dernier film, le jeu s'arrêtant brutalement sur un cliffhanger sans proposer le climax de l'intrigue. Si la fidélité aux deux premiers films et l'humour caractéristique de la franchise sont appréciés, l'omission de la fin de l'histoire est perçue comme une lacune importante, voire une « tragédie » par certains, qui espéraient une mise à jour ou une suite pour combler ce manque.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« LEGO The Hobbit brings a bigger world, improved gameplay elements and a deeper gaming experience than thought possible with a LEGO game. If you like the LEGO games, then you need this one in your collection. It’s certainly the best of the best amongst its LEGO brethren. »
« Lego The Hobbit is, if not the best Lego game, then closely matched with the top entries in the series. It expands the series repertoire with new mechanics and better quest navigation. »
« The LEGO experience is getting way too similar across the many episodes of the franchise, even though this time the universe it borrows from is reason enough to enjoy it. Fans of The Hobbit should not miss this game. »
« There's no reason to recommend not buying the game if you're a LEGO game enthusiast, but you may want to hold off on it until you've seen The Battle of the Five Armies and LEGO The Hobbit is actually a complete game. »
« If anything, Lego The Hobbit will improve your opinion of the films. [June 2014, p.71] »
« Unfortunately this videogame has at least one deal breaking bug, plus (again!) no trophies for Player 2. Other than that, LEGO The Hobbit is just as loveable as LEGO LotR. Lots of recognizable scenes from the movie with new ways to collect LEGO-bricks and things. Plus, Saruman tells the storyline for people that are not familiar with the story of the Hobbit. Lovely for old and young players. »
« With all of the side quests and collectibles, Lego The Hobbit is a complete and entertaining game. If you were counting on the Lego version of a movie adaptation of a 70-year-old book to deliver an unsullied narrative experience, you were expecting too much anyway. »
« Each location along the way is filled with plenty of side-quests, clever puzzles, and secret locations waiting to be discovered. It adds a good dozen hours or more to the experience, making this fantasy world bursting with things to do almost seem like a much more whimsical kids’ version of an Elder Scrolls game. »

« jebać tych gejków do dupy za nie zrobienie ostatniej misji i gra kończy się na słowach ,,o nie co żeśmy zrobili" walnąłbym ich w kakał nie po koleżensku a po wrogowemu jebane psy (nie jestem zoofilem) »
« I think this game is very good. I love The Hobbit and I'm very glad it came out, but the omission of the plot climax is a tragedy. This should be fixed or a sequel should be made. In any case, I highly recommend it to people who like The Hobbit. »
« Dentre os Jogos LEGO, LEGO O Hobbit é sem dúvidas o melhor. Isto é porque ele transforma os dois primeiros filmes da trilogia de O Hobbit em um jogo. Contando com uma história muito bem adaptada para o público infantil sem mudar a história dos filmes. O jogo também possui um mundo aberto muito detalhado bem parecido com as descrições feitas no livro. No playstation 4 ele foi muito bem otimizado sem nenhum tipo de bug qualquer, seus coletaveis não são difíceis de adquirir precisando de algumas horas para coleta-los, o jogo livre das fases é muito detalhado com várias referências e a coleção de personagens jogáveis é muito abrangente. Por fim a platina dele é muito divertida e não demora muito para concluí-la. sendo assim o meu segundo jogo favorito do playstation. »
« Zerei a campanha em apenas dois dias, me incomodou o jogo não abranger o terceiro filme também, o mundo aberto aqui é ótimo, é esplêndido poder explorar todos aqueles locais da Terra-Média »
« This game is outstanding; LEGO games, in particular, offer an engaging experience, especially when enjoyed in split-screen co-op mode, providing shared moments of fun. Additionally, the Portuguese dubbing is excellent, enhancing the overall gameplay experience. »
« The story is very fun, and the game mechanics are great. The map is the perfect size for hide and seek with a friend. Also, the amount of characters this game has, is pretty big. »
« One of the best lego Game epic journeythis Game is a little bit worse tran lego Lord of the Rings but still fantastic »
« sem querer exagerar na nota, mais esse jogo e incrivel! fez minha infancia com o seu mundo livre extremamente detalhado! talvez faltando um pouco da historia que tanto amo... enfim, deem uma chance nesse incrivel jogo da lego! »
