LEGO Horizon Adventures from developers Guerrilla Games and Studio Gobo aims to walk an interesting balance between bringing a powerhouse franchise to younger players while also providing a standard, fun LEGO game experience. The ambitious blend of LEGO hilarity with Aloy's open-world narrative makes for one of the year's most interesting releases. It takes the events of 2017's Horizon Zero Dawn and gives them a colorful LEGO brick pass in feel and visuals while adding a co-op aspect to the familiar-feeling gameplay.
But the results aren't as cut and dry as one might expect from a standard LEGO adaptation, not with Guerrilla Games involved. In fact, Horizon Adventures ends up much deeper than expected in quite a good way. Graphics and Gameplay It's really hard to imagine a better fit for a LEGO game.
The Horizon series is vibrant, colorful, and mostly upbeat, and when it's not, even the darker tones and scary moments have a sense of serenity and beauty to them anyway. Horizon Adventures takes the best aspects there and puts it into LEGO brick form. It's one of the most stunning-looking games of the year in motion, what for the way little pieces define every inch of the game's canvas.
And little in-motion details like bridges clicking together as the player walks are just amazing. It wouldn't work without stellar sound design, which the game boasts. Those clicks of bricks are very real, ambient noise and soundtracks are fitting and the voice acting is about as over the top as .
