I was rather tempted to buy lego LOTR, but decided not to.
It looks like all the lego movie games are about collecting a bunch of horrible coins hidden in generic puzzles and strewn about, while in the thematic world of its movie book.
What is it that makes these games so loved? If I'm missing out, I'd like to know.

Have you played Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars? It was one of the best TT Games games.

The games have gotten to making each character (aside from random mooks) distinct, allowing split-screen to be free and not restricted (meaning you can just go anywhere without your team-mate with no camera stopping you) and open world levels.
I think I'll start buying these games again if they ever bring co-op/multiplayer back.
But what do you DO?

Kid-friendly platfomer-action-puzzle game. The collecting blocks is optional and mostly for unlocking easter eggs. I will say that LEGO Lord of the Rings is unironically one of the best games I've played all year. Three issues I have with it is that it is unplayable with mouse and keyboard, heavily geared towards coop, and coop is local-only. Not a problem for me since I just played it with my brother and had some damn great fun, but if you don't have an xbox controller or a friend to play with, it might get a bit tedious.

I think they're just rolling on the reception they got from the original Lego Star Wars games, I loved them when I was younger and I'm sure most people who played it did. The issue is they're just cashing in now and because the puzzles are piss easy and the brands are easily recognizable, young children just want to pick it up anyway because they don't really understand all of what I just said and nor do their parents.

Somewhat like the situation with Call of Duty to be honest

The puzzles were never supposed to be hard in the first place, its just a kid's game. It isn't that much like Call of Duty either. They still sort of follow the same formula but the new games are much improved over the originals.
