Who doesn’t love Lego? From intense building challenges to comedic film and game adaptations, what began as simple clicky bricks has expanded well beyond ABS plastic and into a media genre of its own. Joining the ranks of other block-based game adaptations like Lego Star Wars and Lego Batman, Lego Horizon Adventures adapts the events of Guerrilla’s post-apocalyptic robo-animal kingdom adventure Horizon Zero Dawn for a younger audience, turning its cast of survivors into a handful of quippy Minifigures. Yet despite all the witty exchanges and endearing left-field gags, Lego Horizon Adventures stumbles in the gameplay department, presenting players with a monotonous combat system and a series of repetitive levels lacking the depth and intrigue to help maintain interest beyond its affable opening hours.
