So while the story won't be winning an Oscar, it is fun and engaging with enough of an irreverent lilt to the narration that makes you laugh along with it. Just, the LEGO version of MacGyver, I guess. You start small, then work your way up to being the kind of maverick builder who can take a gumball, piece of string, and some pocket lint and MacGyver it into something useful. If you've somehow managed to escape all the various forms of LEGO media I mentioned above, a Master Builder is pretty much the top tier of LEGO builders. And so you progress through more and more complicated worlds, building more and more complicated structures until you become a Master Builder. The game scans things that exist in the world, unlocks the build, and then places it wherever in the world you want it. The game walks you through the basic mechanics of how to build items, and it is much easier than the painstaking task of physically assembling a LEGO kit. You play as an Astronaut and aspiring Master Builder who gets stuck on a pirate-themed world because your ship needs to be repaired.
