Putting pop culture in the spotlight was a mistake. Because from that spotlight came the Funkos. And from the Funkos, abominations like ‘Funko Fusion’, a game that tries to capture the spirit of LEGO games but using, instead of the beloved figurines, big-headed monsters with dead eyes. That being said, the crossover makes our teenage selves drool, bringing together so many franchises at the same time that it becomes an abominable amalgamation and a professional money grab.
Fuuu-sion, now!
Have you ever wanted to play a video game that combines ‘The Mummy’, ‘Nope!’, ‘Hot Fuzz’, ‘Jaws’, and ‘Battlestar Galactica’? If your answer is, for some reason, “Yes”, you’re in luck, because ‘Funko Fusion’ is a mix of pop culture taken to the extreme, like an infinite version of Pampling and La Tostadora t-shirts.
Regarding the game itself, it will be a type of LEGO game: shooting, moving forward, picking up objects, those things. But of course, you can do it with details from ‘The Thing’ or ‘Xena, the warrior princess’. A few years ago, we would have been very excited about something like this, but now, accustomed to the endless mishmash of franchises colliding with their own franchises, it tastes like boredom and a tasteless mix with nothing else to offer. Terrifying. If this is the future of video games, why bother to continue.
