LEGO City Undercover is essentially a GTA parody where everything is bricks and slapstick and nobody gets hurt. The open world is genuinely large, the humour is pitched squarely at children and the adults playing alongside them, and the mission variety keeps things from becoming repetitive for longer than most LEGO games manage. It missed the main list because it asks slightly more from players in terms of navigation and objective-tracking than the most accessible picks here. For a child of eight or nine who wants an open-world game without mature content, this is one of the cleanest options available on Switch.

Overview
About Lego City Undercover
As Chase McCain, you'll become an expert at hand-to-hand combat, fighting your foes and wrestling them to the ground until you can slap the cuffs on 'em. The best officers are also pros at free running, jumping, climbing, and traversing the city on special blue and white bricks. Do you have what it takes?
Story setup
Chase McCain returns to LEGO City after years of being away. The city that once embraced him now in the throes of a massive crime wave the likes of which have never been seen only once before.
