Is LEGO City Undercover - The Chase Begins still worth playing in 2026?
A portable prequel to the Wii U game, The Chase Begins follows rookie cop Chase McCain in an open brick world openly spoofing gangster games. The mix of free exploration, disguises with varied powers and goofy humour works, but the 3DS struggles to carry the concept's scale, with loading times and a downscaled presentation. The fun stays real in sessions, especially for younger players. For a LEGO fan or someone curious about lightweight open worlds, the title keeps a good natured charm despite its limits.
