Watch out, Minecraft: Lego wants to topple your world. Today, Lego rolled out a similar video game called Lego Worlds that also lets gamers build their own virtual worlds and interact as a Lego figurine.
The game is available for an “early access” download on Steam, which has so far garnered positive reviews.
