LEGO Horizon Adventures

Overview

Lego Horizon Adventures is a 2024 action-adventure game co-developed by Guerrilla Games and Studio Gobo in association with The Lego Group, and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It is a spin-off in the Horizon franchise and reinterprets the events of Horizon Zero Dawn (2017) in a Lego-themed environment. The game is played from a fixed isometric perspective and allows the player to control one of four protagonists: Aloy, Varl, Erend, or Teersa: as they battle a rogue artificial intelligence known as HADES, and a sun-worshipping cult led by Helis.

The gameplay features a mix of linear platforming and combat that incorporates the franchise's weak-point targeting system. Between missions, the player can customise their central hub village, Mother's Heart, by using studs and bricks to unlock decorations and outfits from various Lego properties. The game supports both local and online two-player co-operative multiplayer. Guerrilla and Studio Gobo designed the game to be a family-friendly adaptation of the original game's dark lore. It was built using Unreal Engine 5. The developers constructed every in-game asset from individual digital Lego bricks and animated the characters in a stop motion style. Several original voice actors from the Horizon series reprised their roles, including Ashly Burch as Aloy. The game was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Windows on 14 November 2024.

Lego Horizon Adventures received mixed reviews from critics. Reviewers praised the game's visual presentation and vocal performances, but criticised its repetitive level design, simplistic mission structure, and lack of open world exploration. The game received several industry accolades, including a nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction at the 28th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards and four nominations at the 21st British Academy Games Awards.
