LEGO Horizon Adventures Review Nintendo Switch Review - Is It Worth It?

[@Lex6d6]

Now I want a Legend of Zelda Lego game even more.

[@acmiguens]

It could be amazing!! Heck... it could be the closest thing to a more traditional 3D Zelda we can probably expect in the foreseeable future.

[@Kraken54321]

Take my money Nintendo.

[@CrowTRobot]

“Unfortunately it’s a mixed bag” “repetitive and dull” do people watch the video before they comment?

[@sparkypack]

It depends on many factors. If it's Zelda, it should be open world like Lego City Undercover for example.

[@TheMail518]

And a lego mario game tbh 😊

[@TopherShmopher]

I like the idea of making cool lighthearted Lego jaunts of otherwise serious games! Plus open world games can be scary and long, having a short alternative is a neat idea

[@kadosho02]

Final Fantasy Lego? 🤔That would be interesting

[@DrViili]

Lego Gears of War! Loads of blood red bits flying off of chainsaw victims!

[@422katieleigh]

Lego The Last of Us 😂

[@TommyB1983]

Some of the Negatives that were mentioned are par for the course for LEGO games. So, if you like/Love LEGO games you will be right at home with this one. Can't wait to get this

[@Widgerber]

This exactly. My main concern was whether or not Sony would care enough to make the switch version run well. Glad they seem to have optimized it well.

[@TeriyakiDior]

i might even get it for both consoles. PlayStation and switch

[@presidentc4]

Nah I love a lot of LEGO games but this game ain't it. This is a PS plus game in no time so I'll wait

[@daria5539]

​@@presidentc4are you sure it's coming out on ps plus?

[@louiedutoit5020]

@@presidentc4 Whilst i disagree with subscribing services (renting games and not owning them) I do agree with the fact that this game has absolutely zero Travellers Tales charm embedded into it. It’s a good standalone but I really don’t want this to be the new lego direction.

[@pinkiepiebiggestfan6099]

I bought HZD launch day back on PS4 and I loved it. I have HZD and HZD:FW on steam and of course I have LEGO Horizon adventure on switch.

[@pinkiepiebiggestfan6099]

There is one costume in LEGO Horizon adventure that intrigues me with possible switch 2 game franchise. After you open the costume shop (very early in game) in the premium tab (I think it's called) there is a Sackboy costume. Sackboy is the main character from the very successful Little Big planet franchise on PlayStation. Just thinking about having a little Big planet type of game (I believe Little Big planet 1 and 2 are dead now, the servers were shut down long ago) on switch 2. Or even a Mario maker type game in the style of Little Big planet.

[@shigerumiyamoto9612]

There is ratchet and clank costumes as well so its just fan service.

[@JagGentlemann]

Ah yes, the humble hybrid console with over 100 million units sold.

[@leatherworkstation]

Humble hardware compared to PS5 and especially PC.

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

@@leatherworkstation why compared the Switch against the PS5 or PC? In my opinion the Switch is better than both PS5 and especially PC where if matters most, in the games, neither PS5 or especially PC have the library of exclusives that the Switch has and it’s sold 146 million units for a reason.

[@leatherworkstation]

@Adamtendo_player_1 because they're the hardware the humble comment is in reference to. The PS2 is humble compared to the Switch and that's sold 160m units and has an even more impressive library. Doesn't mean from a technical perspective it's not down on power.

[@randombread1456]

Woah, Aloy from Genshin Impact got her own Lego game?

[@marcch72]

No, from the Horizon franchise

Nice to see lego games going back to a locked camera.

I think the couch co-op is what will make this game shine and make it worthwhile

[@PAINt0theMAX]

When are they porting Sleeping Dogs to Switch?

[@JonnyDenny1816]

Do you really have a dog sleeping.

[@geminijinxies7258]

That game was super fun on the Xbox 360 and it should work well on the Switch! ..But maybe all the licensed songs is causing a problem?

[@acmiguens]

@@geminijinxies7258 It's available on the Xbox Series. My guess is that Square Enix is the problem

[@UnknownDinoEgg]

LEGO Horizon Adventures on Nintendo Switch: because building real life stuff is hard...and expensive. Is it Worth the brickin' price tag? Watch to find out!

[@MaxRamos8]

Actually you aren't wrong, LEGO is very expensive collecting hobby

[@REDARROWHAILSTORM9000-of6ei]

idk $60 for this lego game is steep should've been $39 retail price

[@Widgerber]

It likely will be in a few weeks. Lego games tend to drop in price almost as fast as Ubisoft titles.

[@leatherworkstation]

"A franchise that always took itself a bit too seriously" Have you played the Horizon games? Sure the main story arc is serious and they nail the dramatic moments better than pretty much everything, but they're full of funny characters and sidequests, and even within that main serious quest there are light hearted moments. It's not a depressing game, as Aloy says, it's about hope. Even Aloy, despite everything she's going through, is mostly amusing in the interactions she has with everyone who isn't being an ass with her.

[@ZombyBunnie]

Yeah that was weird to hear in the review, idk if they played the actual series or not

[@codemisterz]

I've been wanting this game for awhile, and seeing a Sonys IP game on Switch is crazy cool! The game looks fun and doesn't look bad for the switch port, I may pick this one up sense I didn't bother with Test Drive Unlimited nor Funko Fusion.

[@Sar1386]

I was just shocked to discover that this is a £60 game here in the UK. That is equivalent to $76 USD, which is crazy to me. I thought as it’s a Nintendo/ PlayStation partnership it would go for what most full price games are here which is £50 or $63 USD but no it has been priced the same Zelda TOTK which was our first £60 Nintendo game and since then most of even the Nintendo games that have come out have still remained the usual £50 including the recent Zelda Echoes of wisdom and Mario & Luigi brothership both of which are on offer for £40 or $50 USD currently which is surprising but how they think a Lego game regardless of which franchise it is is worth £60 I don’t know. I’m waiting for a sale for this one even if it takes a while as this pricing is crazy. The game looks fun but not £60 fun.

[@louloubellex9292]

Mental. I would have assumed it would be around £40, definitely not more expensive than a standard switch game

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

If you want to save money, don’t buy your game from Nintendo buy your game from Amazon instead which most of the time they are cheaper but buying these games directly from Nintendo you get some cool stuff that you don’t get when you buy elsewhere but I agree with you on this game. This game should not be £60.

[@DucksGamedayBreakdown]

Im playing right now and I LOVE IT! This new age logo game is so damn fun.

[@Games.Gadgets.Sports]

This game seems get a lot hate but I'm about to pick up my preorder and as a 40 yrs old man into mostly hardcore shooters and sports titles and songs heavy hitters I'm looking forward to a light hearted beautiful world game playing as Lego aloy. I think it's well a perfect game for the oled switch !

[@sparkypack]

Not my cup of tea (or coffee), but glad you're having fun.

[@geminijinxies7258]

Does it play like a twin-stick shooter? If so I think I'm interested.

[@johnserpo9267]

There's no Depth of field in Zelda: Echo of Wisdom or Link's Awakening. They are just gradient blur at the top and bottom of the screen. It's just an overlay - it's fake. This game however uses real DoF - it's Unreal Engine 5.

[@mgoblurg]

Still want to play this but going to wait for a sale given the reviews and game length

[@sparkypack]

I played this at EGX. It didn't really hook me.

[@TTTTyme]

I’ll wait until this hits that $5-$10 price on Switch if it’s only 8 hours long. Looks great though and looking forward to getting this one for the kids

[@atomicsamurai9742]

Wonder why theres a switch version but not for ps4, kinda odd

[@solonepeon5805]

Sony is forcing their fans to pick up the PS5/Pro versions to sell the newer consoles.

[@leatherworkstation]

@@atomicsamurai9742 the PS4 is literally 10 years old. You have to let it die at some point.

[@adam145]

Somehow Horizon doesn't really feel like a good fit for LEGO since it was always about a lot of characters and customizable figurines.

[@sparkypack]

I find it an odd combination as well tbh.

[@arpeggioblue]

Horizon was practically made for Lego with all the machines

[@timothyzhang2764]

I am going to wait for the sale, not sure how long and how much but I have faith it will be here one day.

[@Brione30]

Nintendo Life: This game is really simplistic and repetitive Me, a big LEGO game fan: haha, I love it when they do that.

[@skeldare]

Not surprising that a Lego game would be repetitive. That's usually the thing that kills them for me.

[@batshats8243]

At the end of the day its a fun ass video game to be a video game. I dont need a long ass game. There are plenty of them, so for me this is exciting

[@nin10doboy70]

I’m just so happy to see a Lego game again, and having played the horizon games (Except the VR cause I’m broke to get one) it’s amazing to see a new IP I love get a Lego game so quick is amazing!

[@jumbleskull]

Oh yay zions back

[@cubemage3336]

Y'all be reviewing everything except Ace Combat lol

[@Accidental.Creation]

6 - 8 hours of repetitive content is a pass for me. I love Horizon, but this just doesn't sound all that great.

[@owRekssjfjxjxuurrpqpqss]

Sounds just like the original game when you put it that way. Though horizons is more like 80 hours of repetitive shallow content.

[@totalspoof8344]

I love Lego and horizon but $50+ for a 6 to 8 hour game. I'll wait for cheaper but it is a pretty game and I want to play it.

[@someguy4040]

In my mind, there is nothing wrong with a short and… eh, simple game. But it’s the fact that it’s a full priced game, and is 6-8 hours long is what kills it for me.

[@arpeggioblue]

@@owRekssjfjxjxuurrpqpqssthis is a take that I will never understand, but go off I guess

[@leatherworkstation]

​@arpeggioblue yep, just finished a 75 hour 100% run on Zero Dawn and Frozen Wilds, and it wasn't repetitive at all, unless you think the core concept of a game being done multiple times is repetitive? But then everything is repetitive, GTA "all you do is drive cars and shoot stuff", CoD "all you do is shoot stuff", Dark Souls "all you do is dodge, die, and hit stuff". Probably one of the most engrossing and interesting worlds you could play a game in with gameplay mechanics that reward strategy and exploration.

[@DanielJosephBaker]

😍 these comments pass the vibe check 😍 Horizon machines are perfect for the Lego treatment

[@SamBurger312]

Sounds fun but reckon this will go on sale pretty quickly in the new year!

[@solonepeon5805]

😂 Sony is always in Nin's shadow. Even tho there is Lego Mario & Zelda toys there isn't a game yet & Sony knew Nin will make it one day so they beat them 1st to get the early money before Nin Lego games take over 😂.

[@DarkAnomaly]

I love to go back to Lego games to unlock characters and find collectibles but once you finish this rather bland game there seems to be little to no reason to go back to it at all. I'll wait for a Sale I think.

[@gregthomas8569]

Wrong Sylens's actor Lance Reddick died before he could record any voice lines for this game !

[@Leopez02]

I didin't believe that I'll see the day when Sony's IP like Horizon game is on Nintendo Switch too I think it was possible because this is a lego game, but it's still hard to believe this is true Horizon Lego Adventures game on Switch! Normally i'm not interested about of a lego games, but now i'm a little interested of this because it's Horizon, on Switch and looks surprisilly fun, but 70€ for a lego game is just too much in my opinion, this should pay 45$-55$ still this is one of the most interesting game of the year, but i'm not getting it because Mario & Luigi Brothership is next in my list. I think this game's score is 7/10 good game. After Lego Horizon game I would love to see Lego Unchardet or God of War that would be so awesome! 😆

[@nowonmetube]

I guess the "repetitive" nature is good for kids?

[@acmiguens]

I'll be playing this with my son and in short bursts, so the repetition aspect should be mitigated

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

Good review I’m glad I decided to pass on this game even if it does look impressive on Switch.

[@ghastly_12]

Even if it’s a masterpiece, I severely doubt it’ll get the sales numbers they’re looking for

[@Just_Shaun]

Feels like Sony made it that way to create artificial bias that Switch isn't a profitability platform.

[@Leweise]

“Dull level design” what game are you looking at because this game looks incredible.

[@acmiguens]

It's not about what it looks like, but what it feels like to play it. It's too repetitive according to the reviewer, no matter how pretty it looks. In fact, they complement the visuals AND the performance on the Switch.

[@Leweise]

I’ve been playing it on PS5, and while the level design is commendable, the simplicity clearly caters to a younger audience rather than seasoned gamers. I’m not expecting a sophisticated Horizon experience reimagined in LEGO form-if I want that level of depth, I’ll revisit Horizon Forbidden West, which I still need to complete. If you have younger siblings give it a go makes it so much more fun.

[@PumpkinPotatoPie]
