Reception

[edit]

A Sonic the Hedgehog - Green Hill Zone set based on the level was released on January 1, 2022.[35][36] It received mixed reception from Alice Clarke of Kotaku, who called it "not the most thrilling build", remarking that its price was high, but that Sonic fans would love it.[37] Mike Harris of GamesRadar gave the game a 4/5 for Sonic the Hedgehog - Green Hill Zone (set number: 21331) and commented, "Sonic-themed presentation will delight fans."[38]

David Chapman for Common Sense Media gave the game a three out of five star rating and commented, "The biggest problem with Lego Tower lies in its repetition. The gameplay is a nearly infinite cycle of making sure shops are stocked, keeping apartments filled with random mini-figures, and adding more levels to your tower. There are occasional quick mini-games that require you to find a specific item or character somewhere in your tower. This can be a simple task when you're dealing with just a few floors, but after a while, it can get frustrating to scan 50 or more crowded floors for one thing. In fact, that's a general problem throughout the game. The more successful you are and the higher your tower is, the more frustrating and time consuming it can become to maintain it. What started out as a fun distraction for a few minutes a day eventually turns into a full-blown chore. Played in shorter doses, though, Lego Tower is still an entertaining time sink, and a game that's quite literally primed to build more onto."[39]
