It is very much fun to play through in any case.<\/p>\n<p>Part of it, of course is that it only goes over the first two Hobbit movies. The Story is engaging, but there&#8217;s no true finish to it.<\/p>\n<p>I have 26% of the trophies, but am 60%+ in game completion, sooner than later more and more of those trophies will pop for me. I&#8217;m only playing this as I usually do, via having fun and trying to find everything \u00a0myself, and using the internet to find an answer to something only if it&#8217;s like 1 or 2 things that I just can&#8217;t find in a level, or where is this or that if I just can&#8217;t find it. Mostly that&#8217;s limited to me being lazy, in this game everything is &#8220;easier&#8221; kind of. I mean it&#8217;s not a super hard puzzle game at all.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2094\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2094\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" href=\"http:\/\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/2014\/04\/15\/lego-the-hobbit-is-fun\/mashthemsticktheminastewchips\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2094\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2094\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/2014\/04\/15\/lego-the-hobbit-is-fun\/mashthemsticktheminastewchips\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Mashthemsticktheminastewchips.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,576\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Mashthemsticktheminastewchips\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Mashthemsticktheminastewchips.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" class=\" wp-image-2094\" title=\"Crazy-Maisy playing LEGO The Hobbit on PS4\" alt=\"Mashthemsticktheminastewchips\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Mashthemsticktheminastewchips-500x281.jpg?resize=500%2C281\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Mashthemsticktheminastewchips.jpg?resize=500%2C281&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Mashthemsticktheminastewchips.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crazy-Maisy playing LEGO The Hobbit on PS4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2095\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2095\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/2014\/04\/15\/lego-the-hobbit-is-fun\/bilboacceptingpotaytopayment\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2095\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2095\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/2014\/04\/15\/lego-the-hobbit-is-fun\/bilboacceptingpotaytopayment\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/BilboacceptingPotaytoPayment.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,576\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"BilboacceptingPotaytoPayment\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/BilboacceptingPotaytoPayment.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" class=\" wp-image-2095\" title=\"Crazy-Maisy playing LEGO The Hobbit on PS4\" alt=\"BilboacceptingPotaytoPayment\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/BilboacceptingPotaytoPayment-500x281.jpg?resize=500%2C281\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/BilboacceptingPotaytoPayment.jpg?resize=500%2C281&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hyperthinking.us\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/BilboacceptingPotaytoPayment.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crazy-Maisy playing LEGO The Hobbit on PS4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;grinding&#8221; is mostly running around and getting all the Mithril bricks that I can, and getting as many Mithril Designs that I can, forging them, repeat, repeat, repeat!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also going into Free-Play levels, complete each level \u00a0(Master Burglar, All Treasures, All Mini-Kits, &amp; Any Mithril Designs.)
