My son is a big fan of this game and is quite taken with the figures as well as what he can do with them.. While I haven't played the entire game I've enjoyed helping my son now and then and playing together. The game is mostly at the right level of difficulty although there are certain spikes when you reach boss challenges. The last fight is particularly gruesome... I was concerned about the business model and what the impact of not having all the characters would be. While paying the game with the starter characters only is definitely possible, it's undoubtedly an impoverished experience. There are tons of areas that are blocked off and it's quite evident you need more characters. On the plus side, there are some expansions that unlock new areas and these remain unlocked. So, a friend of my son brought his "thing" over and unlocked some areas that we can continue to enjoy. That was pretty cool... For now we've been focused on clearing up e different challenges and stuff, mostly I'm waiting for a sequel that would allow for further use of the figures...
