Somewhere between the serious sci-fi world of Horizon and the playful charm of Lego bricks lies an experiment that shouldn't work - but might just surprise you. Yet here stands Lego Horizon Adventures,

With such a big hub-world to play around in, here’s everything you can do and customize within Mother’s Heart.

Lego Horizon Adventures takes the best aspects of the Lego and Horizon series and delivers a surprisingly compelling experience thanks to its adorable graphics, endearing characters, high customization and approachable gameplay loop.

What is it? A child-friendly adaptation of Horizon: Zero Dawn using the Lego formula Expect to pay: £59.99/$59.99 Developer: Guerrilla, Studio Gobo Publisher: PlayStation Publishing LLC Reviewed on: Ryzen 7 7700X, RTX 4080, 64GB RAM Steam Deck: Verified Multiplayer?

LEGO Horizon Adventures doesn’t offer a very robust graphics settings menu like some Nixxes ports, but it does provide a decent range of tweakable options. Adjusting these settings carefully can help achieve a smoother framerate, allowing you to focus more on gameplay and less on performance issues.

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a game everyone can enjoy, and one of the joys in it comes from dressing Aloy and her friends up with over a hundred outfits. Seeing Aloy deliver quick quips while shooting arrows at robot dinosaurs is fun. Still, Studio Gabo ups the ante by letting players dress her up as different characters from other LEGO games.

Lego Horizon Adventures hasn't had the strongest start since launching earlier this week. Reviews from critics have been mixed and that also seems to be the case for Steam players. Adventures also has a surprisingly low all-time player peak of just 602 players.

Despite a low player count during its Steam debut, Lego Horizon Adventures fans state the title could still be a success on console.
