Brick Rigs

When I heard that Brick Rigs was like Lego Digital Design, but you could play with what you have built. I knew that I had to check it out! As I write this the game is in early access and it does not look like it will be leaving that anytime soon. However, if you like building things or want something you can play with your kid. I think that this is well worth taking a closer look at.

Don’t Step On The Bricks!

As far as I could tell or figure out there is no actual story or “point” to what you will be doing and messing around with when you are playing Brick Rigs. The idea of the game is to use your creative genius and come up with all kinds of cool vehicles. Remember when you used to spend hours as a kid building all kinds of crazy stuff with your Legos? Well, that is basically what you have here. You have an unlimited amount of bricks that you can use and the only limitation on offer here is your own creativity.

Land, Rail, Or Sky!

There really is no limit to the kind of vehicle you can come up with in Brick Rigs. I have messed around and made all kinds of crazy stuff. This ranges from normal cars to tanks to a pretty over the top railway system. You start off with one thing and then it quickly turns into something else.

I had a great deal of fun playing through this with my son. We both have pretty weird imaginations so we were coming up with all kinds of crazy stuff. There is an online component to this game, but I found the community to be a bit on the exhausting side. Not to mention the fact that the game (well on my PC) seemed to have a fair bit of trouble staying smooth when there were a ton of bricks on the screen at the same time.

Take It To The Limits

My son and I loved messing around with the Lego Digital Designer, but Brick Rigs lets you take things a step further. It does this by letting you actually use the vehicles you have created. You can test the physics of your creation and this is very amusing. You spend hours building a crazy car only for it to be uncontrollable and smash into the side of a hill!

Pros:

• You can build all kinds of cool stuff
• It is a great game to expand your imagination
• You may find this a very relaxing experience
• It has a ton of charm
• It is the kind of game that is great to play with your kids

Cons:

• Not a ton of substance here in terms of a “goal”
• The game is still in early access and a tad buggy

Brick Rigs is a sandbox game developed by Lukas Rustemeyer that allows players to build, destroy, and explore structures made of Lego-like bricks. The game was first released in 2016 and has since gained a loyal following of players who enjoy its unique blend of building, destruction, and exploration. With its realistic physics engine, players can simulate vehicle crashes and destruction in a way that is both entertaining and satisfying.

One of the most significant aspects of Brick Rigs is its versatility. The game offers multiple game modes, each with its own unique features and challenges. Whether players prefer building, destruction, racing, or exploring, there is a game mode for everyone. So, let’s talk a little more about this game!

Gameplay and Features:

The game offers several game modes that players can choose from, including sandbox mode, crash mode, and race mode. In sandbox mode, players can use various types of bricks, including basic bricks, specialty bricks, and sloped bricks, to create structures of their own. The game also includes vehicles like cars, trucks, airplanes, and helicopters that players can use in different game modes.

The crash mode of the game allows players to crash their vehicles into structures and cause destruction. The game's physics engine simulates real-life physics, making the destruction more realistic. The slow-motion feature of the game allows players to see the destruction in detail. The replay feature enables players to watch their crashes in slow motion and from different angles.

In the race mode, players can race against each other with their vehicles. The game also includes a multiplayer mode where players can play with other players online.

Completely unique?

BeamNG.drive is another sandbox game that allows players to simulate vehicle crashes and destruction. Although both games are similar, there are a few differences.

Brick Rigs focuses more on building and destruction using Lego-like bricks, whereas BeamNG.drive emphasizes realistic vehicle physics and crashes. Brick Rigs includes a slow-motion feature that allows players to see destruction in more detail, while BeamNG.drive does not include this feature. Additionally, Brick Rigs includes a multiplayer mode, while BeamNG Drive does not offer this option.
