If your phone is full with other apps, photos, videos and other games, getting the app even installed could be tricky.

The presentation and detail of the world seems well enough, but truth be told, this more or less feels like pretty much any other free to play game of a similar ilk with the high technical requirements and the over 1 GB gigabyte app package size (due to apparently containing a lot of complex 3D assets and textures) representing an extra challenge. The core activities seem to be centered around chasing the “Gloom” by activating certain items to collect points and battling ghosts, or if you are playing on the opposite side, as a spectre or possessed entity to avoid being scanned by an imaginary other ghost chaser with a mobile device. My conclusion here is that it barely seems worth the time, at least not as an adult. Because I don’t have a compatible device at the moment, I can only judge the actual gameplay from watching videos from other people.
Of course you may take my ponderings with a grain of salt as I may be basically talking out of my behind, as they say. You never know what happens and how companies desperate for cash might find creative ways to exploit their customers, to put it cautiously. Luckily so far there are no traces of it to be seen, but I choose to remain just those five percent skeptical on that matter. The other thing that I was afraid of was endless commercialization of the actual gameplay via micro-transactions and similar. That is to say you should definitely verify the specs and test the app before actually getting into any active play. The official list on the LEGO site isn’t that long and even then there may be a chance it still doesn’t work reliably even if you have a spankin’ new iPhone.

With Apple and Google only having implemented relevant functions into iOS and Android respectively in recent versions, you are going to need a smartphone or tablet that isn’t too old and has been updated consequently to those later versions of the operating systems. How is this relevant to Hidden Side you may ask? Well, your mobile device may simply be not contemporary enough or powerful enough to run the app. In my view in fact the commercial aspect is perhaps the biggest hinderance here as it excludes a good chunk of users from the get-go simply because they can’t afford it. A lot of this stuff is still prohibitively expensive and the technical requirements are steep.
The irony is that I can see the value of some of that if it’s done right, but working in the media industry for more than 20 years I have seen all those bold promises that these companies made completely crumble more than once and despite what those same people keep saying we’re still not there yet. See what they did there? Cheap word play aside, this idea is not without merit, but… And yes, there are a number of big “buts” here.įirst, I can freely admit that I’m a skeptic when it comes to things like Virtual Reality and by extension Augmented Reality. In this case once you’ve the assembled the models they act as gateways to this alternate dimension or Hidden Side. One of the key marketing points is of course the Augmented Reality integration, meaning you can interact in a virtual world that’s lined up with the real one. Before I delve into the sets themselves, a few thoughts on the digital integration/ gaming stuff.

It’s still early in the series life and as they say, it could “have legs”. Might naturally be a different story when the next line of sets is released next year and things may begin to feel a bit repetitive or redundant, but we have to see. At least the first wave got me quite excited for a number of reasons. With Monster Fighters now being several years in the past, in fact before I even started to get into LEGO, a theme around, ghosts, monsters, zombies and the like isn’t that far fetched and Hidden Side so far seems to fill that gap nicely. Not a bad thing, though, as long as it helps to rejuvenate the overall portfolio and keeps things fresh, be that taking a new approach to building techniques or for that matter re-evaluating an entire genre with a renewed perspective. Just like in the fashion industry there are sort of recurring cycles in the LEGO world as well and so it’s not really that much of a surprise that we get similar sets within a series every few years or for that matter new series featuring similar subject matter.
