LEGO Horizon Adventures: The First Reviews Are In
LEGO Horizon Adventures merges the Horizon game series with playful LEGO elements. Players join Aloy in a post-apocalyptic world brought to life with stop-motion animation and humorous storytelling.
Early reviews praise the game’s authentic recreation of the Horizon universe, engaging combat, and the fun of exploring and building with LEGO bricks. Co-op play enhances the experience for both solo and paired players.
However, some critics feel LEGO’s humor undermines the serious tone of the Horizon series, which might not appeal to hardcore fans. Additionally, while combat and exploration are engaging, some puzzles are seen as repetitive and not challenging. Despite these issues, the game stands out for its innovative blend of exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat, offering a more varied experience compared to typical LEGO games.
LEGO Horizon Adventures will be available on PlayStation 5, PC, and the Switch, set to launch later this year during the holiday season.

That's it for this edition and remember: Keep pushing those brick boundaries, and if your designs don’t pan out, just tell everyone it’s abstract art.
