LEGO Horizon Adventures

It must have been from caramel and sea salt that two opposites went together so deliciously. This game combines the spectacle and beautiful setting of Horizon with the pure fun of Lego. If it is done with such love every time, may even more games get the Lego treatment.

LEGO Horizon Adventures offers a surprisingly successful combination of the world and gameplay of Horizon Zero Dawn and a LEGO-game. The story is filled with dry humor and puns, so it shouldn’t be taken too seriously. With a focus on missions there’s no repetitive grind. It results in a short game, but the quality and attention to detail make it worth every penny. Definitely as the combat and gameplay are very satisfying.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a fun experience with a feel-good atmosphere for young and old - even together thanks to the co-op mode! I played the game first and foremost as a Horizon fan who was never averse to LEGO humor. In this respect, I was not disappointed. It just could have been a bit longer, because 70 euros for a 10-hour game is pretty steep.

LEGO Horizon Adventures offers a playful retelling of Horizon Zero Dawn, blending the iconic story of Aloy with LEGO's signature charm, humor, and style. This isometric action-adventure game simplifies the original's intense narrative, focusing on environmental themes and character relationships, providing a lighthearted, engaging experience for fans of all ages.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is an almost perfect translation of the Horizon setting and characters into the world of LEGO. Effort has been made to translate the mechanics and locales into brick form, with great effect.

The balance between fun and challenge is the game's main charm, featuring a wide array of enemies, equipment, and accessibility for new gamers. The cooperative gameplay prevents the experience from becoming monotonous, and the variety of characters and abilities keeps repetitiveness at bay. With all its strengths, it’s one of the most enjoyable games of the year.

The single-minded, redheaded Aloy is a wise choice for one of these lighthearted branded games, which exude so many happy, humorous vibes. The stripped-down plot eschews the game franchise’s serious, sometimes perplexing epic tale.

Somehow, the developers of Lego Horizon Adventures found the perfect recipe to simplify everything about Horizon while keeping the charm and the nuances that make the franchise so endearing to its fans. The development team knocked it out of the park in translating such a robust experience to a family friendly version that can be enjoyed by gamers of all ages. This is an enjoyable ride for everyone but especially for fans of the franchise.

For my money, Lego Horizon Adventures is the best Lego game I’ve played. It does a great job of retelling Aloy’s story, all the while never losing sight of what makes Lego games great. At times, it’s hilarious, and other times, it’s heartwarming. Plus, it looks absolutely gorgeous. It’s also chock-full of content for players to discover, rewarding those who take the time to search every nook and cranny of its diverse set of levels. I do feel it plays things a little too safe at times. But for fans of the Lego games, it has everything one could want from a new entry into the franchise.

LEGO Horizon Adventures has been an adventure that I have enjoyed more than I expected, however, it does not shine in all its sections equally. The technical section is impeccable, but in terms of gameplay it has certain aspects that have room for improvement. A longer duration and a more varied gameplay proposal would have shaped an outstanding title, a rating that comes close, but does not reach.

Though Lego Horizon Adventures is the best looking Lego game ever made by a wide margin, it does still suffer somewhat from the repetition which has afflicted previous Lego tie-in titles. Nonetheless, with its snappy 15-20 minute missions, breezy co-op play and relentlessly lighter, grin-inducing tone, Lego Horizon Adventures also represents both a new direction for the Horizon franchise at large, as well as a great way to get newbies and younger folk involved with the adventures of PlayStation’s marquee flame-haired heroine.

With LEGO Horizon Adventures Guerilla Games and Studio Gobo deliver a nice action adventure with a lot of LEGO humour and an entertaining combat system that distinguishes the game in a good way from the titles of TT Games. It's a little short, but if you like the LEGO style and humour as well as Horizon: Zero Dawn, it is easy to make a recommendation.

For the LEGO fans, the game is worth it, especially for those who have never tried any game from the original series, or who simply love the casual and fun gameplay that is the hallmark of LEGO games. For Horizon fans, the game feels like a parody that doesn't add much in terms of content, other than seeing gameplay adapted for a wider audience, and that includes a split-screen mode.

LEGO Horizon Adventures from developer Studio Gobo and Guerrilla brings the lighter side of drama from the Horizon series to the LEGO universe. While it is a short and hilarious retelling of Aloy’s adventures, the overall gameplay is repetitive in its level structure but still is very much a LEGO adventure at its core. A younger gaming audience might appreciate this more than an older one.

Lego Horizon Adventures approaches the Horizon universe we love from an alternative Lego angle and manages to draw us into the world in an entertaining way, even if it is a bit oversimplified.

Lego Horizon Adventures is a lovely looking title that will be instantly familiar to Lego game fans while different enough to offer a new challenge to Horizon fans.

Lego Horizon Adventures does not reinvent the wheel as a platformer or a Lego game. However, that does not take away from the fact that it is a fun experience and a humorous way to relive Aloy's first adventure, especially if you experience it with a companion.

Graphically very pleasing and with excellent fluidity, the new LEGO game is a real technical breakthrough for the red-brick versions. With its roguelike-style gameplay, Horizon Adventures is a real delight to play solo or with others, but suffers from an all-too-short lifespan. Linear in spite of everything, and without an end-game worthy of the name, the title feels more like a trial run than a complete game, and that's frustrating because we'd have loved to play it for a few extra hours.

Lego Horizon Adventures is pure fun, heartwarming and light, but still gives room to some challenge for those who seek it. The voice acting is absolutely amazing and feels different from the origin, even with the original voice actors. The story is spiced with tons of humour, which made me actually LOL a few times. But its still a bit repetitive, and suits better for short-sessions after a long day. The Co-Op mode was a bit of a bummer since whoever pays Aloy will always be the "leader" and make other players teleport to their place instead of having an immersive gameplay for both players, even while being mid-fight.

LEGO Horizon Adventures successfully adapts and abridges Horizon Zero Dawn for a younger audience, delivering a fun, charming, and straightforward experience in a delightful post-apocalyptic world.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a gift for all players, whether or not they are fans of Aloy's story. The story and personality of the characters eat up the scenery in a title that features somewhat linear gameplay. Although it sometimes fails in this aspect, it is worth going through this game because of the fun experience it offers. It is impossible to go more than five minutes without laughing.

Lego Horizon Adventures harmoniously brings together two inspiring worlds, including the signature gameplay of both franchises, along with plenty of humor. However, it does lack some depth in terms of world exploration.

LEGO Horizon Adventures combines action-adventure gameplay with classic LEGO humor, delivering an entertaining experience with impressive visuals. Despite some shortcomings, like limited stealth and no dodge mechanic, the game excels with tactical combat and enjoyable building, especially in co-op mode.

Lego Horizon Adventures is the most beautiful LEGO game yet, with charming co-op action that leaves too little to explore.

With its upbeat presentation, classic slapstick humor, and surprisingly in-depth combat, Lego Horizon Aventures cements itself as a worthy 15-20-hour experience for any Horizon or Lego fan.

While the level design left us as cold as the snowy mountains that Aloy must explore, the combat surprised us a lot , forcing us to pay attention to all the chaotic action happening on screen and to take advantage of all our tools. Horizon fans who connect with LEGO humor will have a great time with Guerrilla and Studio Gobo's co-production; and those looking for an accessible action-adventure that can also be played co-op will be able to laugh at an adaptation that is not just for fans , and will probably end up enamored of the universe of Aloy and company.

It's a shame that there isn't a little bit more depth when it comes to exploration, but thanks to its stunning visuals, enjoyable humour and fun combat, it's hard to not be won over by LEGO Horizon Adventures. It's light-hearted entertainment for all the family, and a brilliant way to introduce younger players to the world of Horizon.

Lego Horizon Adventures won't top any game of the year lists, but it's an enjoyable retelling of Aloy's first story, mixed with witty, Lego Movie style writing, and gameplay that will entertain the whole family.

A surprisingly charming Lego-ified version of a PlayStation icon, this action adventure has superb combat and sumptuous, entirely Lego-built environments. Mix in some nice village cosmetic tinkering, great vocal delivery from the returning Ashly Burch, and the fact it's also on Switch and it's a very welcome offering. Sadly it runs out of steam after some 10 hours, so it's short but very sweet.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a lot of fun, and Studio Gobo has done a great job making Aloy's journey full of excitement and humour.

Goofy in tone and regulated in design, LEGO Horizon Adventures is an unlikely and amusing inversion of a modern classic, made accessible for a new audience.

All in all, LEGO Horizon Adventures is a cute and fun experience that I think both LEGO and Horizon fans will enjoy. The story is an amusing adaptation of Zero Dawn’s plot, the characters are often hilarious, the gameplay is entertaining — if a little repetitive — and it definitely nails the feeling of playing in a large Horizon-themed LEGO set. It is fairly short, and there aren’t a ton of things to do once you finish the main content, so your mileage may vary regarding how much you feel it’s worth the $60 price tag. But if you’re really into LEGO or Horizon, you will probably find plenty to like about this unexpected but welcome spin-off.

The very existence of Lego Horizon Adventures is strange. That’s hard to deny. But with its buoyant sense of silliness and glee, this franchise adaptation elevates itself beyond doubts. It’s a frenetic, lively little adventure, and one that indulges in being weird and wonderful.

LEGO Horizon Adventures offers a fresh take with a visually impressive world built from LEGO bricks and a fun parody of the Horizon story, though it leaves you wishing for more meaningful content and a stronger connection to the original games.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is an adventure that knows how to entertain, managing the difficult task of pleasing both fans of Aloy and enthusiasts of brick-based games.

The world of Horizon seems tailor-made for the LEGO world. The Earth of the year 3000 and its mechanical beasts are a delight for the eyes and everything is enhanced by the always excellent direction Guerrilla. A marked linearity and repetitiveness of the level and mission design mortify a little the excellent combat system and a little more "meat around the bone" would be useful because completing Horizon Adventures will not take you more than 8 hours.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a game with a very specific audience: Horizon fans who want to play a funny co-op game with their kid or, in my case, annoyingly immature life partner (me). It may not be worth its weight in gold bricks but it's a heck of a good time.

LEGO Horizon Adventure has room for improvement, but as a fan or casual title it holds up well enough. It's fun and accessible, but with a fairly limited appeal - those outside its target audience may find less to keep them engaged.

It's definitely a fun game with its LEGO-like mechanics and level of humor, but with all the big releases coming up, I don't think it's going to stand out too much. I'd recommend checking it out, but maybe after there's a price reduction, since it'll be $60 USD on its first day of release.

LEGO Horizon Adventures entertains thanks to its ironic mix of Horizon lore, LEGO narrative, and visual style. Technical limitations and repetitiveness penalize it, but in co-op, it definitely becomes more enjoyable.

LEGO Horizon Adventures won’t do much for anyone who doesn’t like the LEGO formula, while also being let down by bland level design and an average hub world, it’s still worth an adventure through.

Lego Horizon Adventures is a new Lego success story, especially when played with a co-op partner. The game excels in its small-scale approach, and the humor and characters don't get old quickly. As a result, Horizon has become even more accessible, although this also means the gameplay isn't particularly deep.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a nice retelling of Aloy's adventure, featuring some excellent graphics: the best ever for a LEGO video game. Despite a pretty linear structure that tends to be repetitive, the game delivers a surprisingly solid gameplay but unfortunately the campaign is a bit too short.
