LEGO Voyagers

LEGO Voyagers is an exceptionally charming co-op title that will resonate with both adults and children, with an incredible ambient score and a poignant story that might be easy to predict but can still be emotionally effective. Its team-based puzzle solving and other mechanics are so easy to pick up that the game explains almost nothing, and while its controls can be somewhat frustrating, this barely detracts from one of the best adventures I've had all year.

LEGO Voyagers is one of those perfect games that you can play with a friend when you’re done dealing with shooters, MMOs or more serious titles. It has the perfect visual style that engulfs you into the world, but also plenty of brain teasers and puzzles. Even if some of them can be frustrating at first, the solution is never too difficult. That allows you to continually play, explore the game and try out new things. That’s why it comes as highly recommended, because it’s a fun game with creative gameplay and innovative features. While LEGO Voyagers is a game geared towards children, I think everyone should try it out, be it with a friend, their significant other or a colleague. It tells a raw, emotional story, and let’s face it, we all love LEGO in one way or another. Plus, I think LEGO Voyagers seamlessly captures the beauty and freedom provided by LEGO, all while offering us a stunning world, quirky puzzles and some very creative music. It’s a great journey to be a part of, and the best part is that this is not overly long, either. It has perfect length, crispy gameplay and it’s definitely a great time for you and a friend.

At the end of the day, LEGO Voyagers is just a nice experience. Although it doesn't concern itself with being more than that, it's never at risk of being less. Split Fiction will likely remain the most dazzling co-op title of the year, but LEGO Voyagers carves out a respectable niche while representing the best of what the LEGO brand is known for.

A great cozy yet creepy puzzle adventure packed with dozens of little mysteries to solve.

It’s short and sweet, sticking around just as long as it needs to tell its cute, little story and give a pair of buds a nice afternoon of game time together. It’s a kind of experience not unlike taking the time to put a real Lego set together with a friend.
