An isometric action adventure game with elements of a 3D platformer. LEGO Horizon Adventures shows Aloy and the world of Horizon in a more humoristic LEGO form. We can recreate events from Horizon Zero Dawn and the additional focus is on building things with LEGO bricks.
LEGO Horizon Adventures is an action adventure game with an isometric view and 3D platform elements, in which we visit the universe of the Horizon series. The creators of the adventures of the red-haired warrior Aloy, Guerrilla Games studio, collaborated with Gobo studio responsible for this title.
Plot
In LEGO Horizon Adventures we play the role of the protagonist of the previous games, Aloy, with whom we experience known adventures from a completely new, humorous perspective. The game is mainly based on the story told in the first installment of the series - Horizon Zero Dawn.
The action in the game takes place in the distant future, in which Earth is ruled by machines resembling animals and dinosaurs. The main heroine was found by the hunter Rost as a child. He taught her everything he knows.
One day, Aloy decides to embark on a journey to discover her destiny. It is guided by the ancient hologram of a scientist Elisabet Sobeck. As humanity quickly realizes, extinction is threatening. Only Aloy can face Helis, who leads the Sun-Worshippers and wants to awaken the Ancient Evil.
Gameplay
During the game we travel through locations known from previous installments of the series, including Cauldrons from which aggressive robots emerge. During skirmishes with them, our warrior can barrage them with a hail of arrows from her bow or try hand-to-hand combat.
Apart from struggling with robots, we are given the opportunity to build various things. In this way, everyone can add unique buildings in the Heart of the Mother, the village of Aloy's tribe. This allows for personalization of this well-known location in a completely new and fun way.
Game modes
LEGO Horizon Adventures was designed for collaborative play through co-op mode for two players, both on a shared screen and online. For this purpose, the game supports crossplay, thanks to which we can join forces with another player regardless of the platform they use.
We can also embark on an adventure alone.

NoobFeed: 67 / 100 by Ahnaf Tajwar
LEGO Horizon Adventures offers a fun, lighthearted spin on the Horizon series. The trademark humor and charm of LEGO games are all here. While the game stylistically nails translating the world of Horizon into LEGO, the simplistic gameplay, repetition, and lackluster level design hold it back.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 6 / 10 by Shaan Joshi
While I’m sure that some of my disappointment can be chalked up to its younger target audience, the truth of the matter is a tougher pill to swallow: Lego Horizon Adventures is a half-decent game, but at the end of the day, it’s not a good Horizon game, and it’s certainly not a good Lego game. Somehow, it manages to be less than the sum of its parts.
TheSixthAxis: 7 / 10 by Dominic Leighton
Lego Horizon Adventures definitely gets a lot right, but it also lacks the creative flair of its forebears. Fundamentally, it nails the style and tone of Lego, but seems to forget what it's actually used for.
