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.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is funny, kind, and after all, it is LEGO… oh and they have Tallnecks.

The announcement of Horizon Zero Dawn getting its own Lego title came out of left field, but playing Lego Horizon Adventures is all one needs to put any doubts and concerns to rest. Making Horizon's world much lighter and kid-friendly through the lens of Lego was a most unexpected but welcome surprise, not some cynical spin-off. Burch and the rest of the cast seemed to have a lot of fun portraying their characters in a more comedic tone. At its worst, the gameplay wasn't perfect; it needed ad...

I do think the overall shallowness is a shame, and a game that looks this interesting was begging for a photo mode. It is also great to see Sony release this title on PC and Nintendo Switch on day one, even if the console war gods still demand that Xbox be sacrificed on the altar of platform partisanship. Ultimately, Lego Horizon Adventures is a solid title for kids, or to play with kids, but it’s hard to escape the idea that those same kids are likely a little bit smarter than the challenges that are on offer here.

The best looking Lego game yet, but it's several bricks shy of a full load.

Lego Horizon Adventures takes the best aspects of the Lego and Horizon series and delivers a surprisingly compelling experience thanks to its adorable graphics, endearing characters, high customization and approachable gameplay loop. It’s a title that kids and adults alike can enjoy

Playing (with) Lego doesn’t have to be pure escapism. In telling Horizon’s story of environmental collapse and capitalism gone wild, Lego Horizon Adventures puts a layer of kid-friendly plastic building block abstraction between the concepts and the increasingly inevitable reality. And that makes it not only manageable, but also shareable.

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.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a deeply confusing game that has very little sense of structure and at times, could pass as a generic LEGO title with no connection to the PlayStation IP. It’s lacking in substance, heart, and originality, and outright isn’t worth the price of a full AAA game in the modern era.

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.

Something something, Frozen Milds, something something, Yearning Shores.

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.

Nobody could've expected LEGO Horizon Adventures, a playful, plastic take on one of PlayStation's most popular franchises. Aloy's main games are laden with thick sci-fi lore, serious themes, and complex mechanics; squeezing all of that into an all-ages spin-off has always felt like a tall order. The result is a game that delights us in some ways, but leaves us feeling a little baffled in others.

Lego Horizon Adventures is a funny platformer that avoids adapting the source material’s complex lore and opts for simple, repetitive levels that become tiresome quickly. However, despite heartfelt vocal performances and beautiful world design, Lego Horizon Adventures fails to reach its full potential.

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.

It's an odd experiment, but charming humor and engaging gameplay make this blocky parody of Aloy's story a successful one, too

LEGO Horizon Adventures does some things better than the other LEGO games, and it does some things worse. It has better graphics, polish, and combat than any other LEGO game I've played, but it suffers a lot from uninspired level design and general dullness. It's so mind-numbingly easy in what I assume is an attempt to appeal to children, but I imagine most kids will be bored by the game long before the credits roll. LEGO Horizon Adventures is technically a well-made game, but it is not a fun one to play.

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...

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.

A simplistic yet digestible family-friendly adventure, Lego Horizon Adventures has something for fans of both games.

Sony’s Horizon franchise has always felt like it had the potential to tap into a younger demographic, what with its plucky youthful protagonist, largely bloodless robot dino combat, and environmental messaging, but Sony never really pitched the games that hard toward kids – until now. This week sees the release of Lego Horizon Adventures, which reassembles 2017’s Horizon Zero Dawn into a plastic-y kid-friendly form.

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 is venturing outside of large-scale iconic movie franchises and tackling a video game of a different kind with LEGO Horizon Adventures. Taking the bold, open-world narrative of iconic hero Aloy trying to figure out who she is and where she came from, the game offers a family-friendly take on what has previously been a mature, mechanically deep and visually stunning IP, that has become synonymous with the modern PlayStation brand.

Lego Horizon Adventures is at its core a Lego game, but one that branches out from its usual IP stylings to add humor and a bunch of fun gadgets to the Horizon world - all while reigning it into a more condensed experience.

Too simple and childish for adults, and too one-note to convert the kids, Lego Horizon Adventures does little to recommend it to either existing Horizon fans or series newcomers.

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.

Via bricks and minifigs, Horizon is charmingly remade for a younger audience, though its formulaic missions may strain players of all ages.
