We Tried To Review Funko Fusion But It Softlocked On Us 21 Times

Funko Fusion launched earlier this month. On paper, it was supposed to be a fun evolution of the Lego games.

Instead of cute Lego characters, every person and creature in Funko Fusion is based on Funko Pops. This immediately removes a lot of the charm and whimsy from the game.

Many of the movies included in the game, like Hot Fuzz and The Thing, don’t feel like a good fit for a family-friendly action-puzzle game starring plastic toys.

After finishing a frustrating boss fight in Funko Fusion, I was finally done with Hot Fuzz’s fourth level. A cutscene played, but the audio was missing. This happens a lot in this game.

The final screen appeared showing me how many collectibles I had snagged and side activities I had completed. I hit the A button to move on to the final level. Nothing happened. The game had softlocked on me.

I restarted Funko Fusion and played Hot Fuzz’s fourth level again. This same level had locked up on me twice before. During the next run-through, it softlocked once more when a chase sequence at the end broke.

Finally, mercifully, Funko Fusion allowed me to finish the level on my fifth attempt. But just a few minutes into the next area, I was forced to restart the game due to it freezing up in a menu.

Funko Fusion Gameplay Issues

Funko Fusion works like this:

  • You pick a figure at the start.
  • You can choose characters from He-Man, Battlestar Galactica, Umbrella Academy, Jurassic World, or other franchises.
  • This unlocks a hub world based on that character’s IP.
  • You complete five levels based on the franchise, fight a boss at the end, and then unlock a new world based on something else and repeat.

This is a fine setup for a game featuring a ton of different movies and franchises. It’s just a shame that playing Funko Fusion is a miserable experience.

Combat and Performance

Let’s start with combat. You’ll be shooting a lot of stuff in Funko Fusion. Every character I played used some kind of ranged weapon, usually a gun.

Perhaps if the shooting in Funko Fusion was enjoyable, I’d not mind every character playing as a generic third-person shooter protagonist. But the combat in Funko Fusion is the opposite of enjoyable.

Guns feel very weak and aren’t satisfying to use. Every enemy is a bullet sponge, able to take more damage than you’d expect. Fights become frustratingly dull events as Funko Fusion tosses way too many enemies at you.

At least Funko Fusion looks nice. The levels are detailed and often feature loads of references to different movies and franchises. The game’s textures and lighting are impressive at times.

Sadly, some levels like the Jurassic World ones run like garbage and make it hard to enjoy due to performance problems.

Puzzles and Frustrations

The puzzles in Funko Fusion simply suck. You have to grab each key item like a crystal or key card and manually walk it back to where it’s needed every single time.

Bring the wrong item? You have to walk all the way back, fighting ever-spawning enemies, grab the correct key item, walk it back, drop it to fight enemies that might kill you, and then hopefully unlock the next area by solving the puzzle.

After slogging your way through bad puzzles, framerate problems, and annoying combat encounters, you might have to restart the whole level because you tried to craft a healing item or needed to craft a quest item.

The headline above says Funko Fusion softlocked on me 21 times, and that’s true. But it would likely be higher if I didn’t avoid crafting stations, which would often lock up on me and force me to restart the game or level.

Even when I avoided these crafting stations, I still got screwed by the game. One time an enemy I needed to kill just never spawned. Another time a character I needed to escort just disappeared.

Final Thoughts

Funko Fusion could have been something fun. A wacky adventure mixing together different franchises and worlds. Instead, it’s a boring, annoying, barely functional third-person action game starring ugly Funko Pops solving bad puzzles and fighting the same 10 enemies over and over again with guns and laser pistols.

Don’t play Funko Fusion. Save your money, buy some pizza, and watch one of the movies included in this collection instead. It will be much more enjoyable, and you won’t have to restart the movie five times to reach the end.
