I’m Not Convinced Horizon Makes Sense As A Lego Game | Hands-On Preview

I’m just not convinced that Horizon Zero Dawn is an ideal choice to adapt to the Lego-game formula. Having now played about an hour of Lego Horizon Adventures, it feels like a game with great ideas that are restricted by the IP it’s based on. I love the world of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West, but the opening hour of Lego Horizon often feels like its setting and characters are clashing with the comedic creativity and gameplay loop that so many Lego games excel at. The opening hour of Lego Horizon feels like a pretty decent start to what’s hopefully a good game--at the very least, it’s shaping up to be my favorite Lego game in terms of visuals--but there are moments where I could see the kid-friendly vibe of the Lego games conflicting with the more adult-oriented storylines of Horizon.
