A LEGO Doctor Who Game Could Be Great

gamerant.com:

Doctor Whois one of the most influential science-fiction properties out there, and almost everyone has either heard of it or watched it. While the show took a hiatus between 1989 and 2005, Doctor Who has been around almost 60 years. In that time there have been 13 different actors who have portrayed the titular character — 15 if the War Doctor and Fugitive Doctor are counted — not to mention the many audio dramas, spin-off shows, novels, comics, and crossovers. Even with that success, Doctor Who has always struggled breaking into the video game space.

Doctor Who has had an alright track record with video games, seeing a couple of adventure games that were decent enough experiences, but lacking in gameplay and visuals. Recently, Doctor Who tried out the VR genre with Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, which saw the return of David Tennant, but the game itself was pretty bare bones. The most successful video game that Doctor Who has had is arguably not a Doctor Who game itself, but an appearance in Traveller's Tales LEGO Dimensions; a multiverse crossover title where The Doctor plays a pivotal role. This showed that a LEGO Doctor Who video game may just be the best thing for this franchise.

The Disappointing History of Doctor Who Games

The 12th Doctor played a pivotal role in the LEGO Dimensions story, and Doctor Who received two different play sets. One was a level pack which included The 12th Doctor, K9, and the TARDIS; the other was a fun pack that included a Cyberman and Dalek. The Doctor Who characters unlocked an Adventure World that featured iconic locales from the show like London, Skaro, and Trenzalore. Along with that, players were able to jump into the TARDIS, explore the console room, and travel through time.
