I'm hiding in the long grass, a deer-like Grazer machine in my sights and my bowstring taught. Aiming directly for my quarry's weakpoint, I shoot - just as my Lego Horizon Adventures co-op partner flings an explosive barrel in the same direction. The two attacks land at once, blasting the Grazer into the distance. It's just one moment of several in my Lego Horizon Adventures demo that surprises me in its ability to capture something of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West's worlds, despite this unlikely blocky setting.
There's little denying that Lego Horizon Adventure is a peculiar pitch. There are few, if any, other modern PlayStation franchises that you would dream of adapting into something so family-friendly; imagine God of War or The Last of Us sanitized via the medium of plastic blocks. While Horizon is the most likely contender for that fate, that's only because it falls slightly short of the distinctly adult nature of the rest of Sony's line-up.
