LEGO Builder’s Journey Isn’t A Standard LEGO Game
A Minimalist Puzzle Approach Stands Out
LEGO Builder’s Journeyis a very different flavor of experience from theLEGO franchise tie-in gamesthat tend to attract the most attention, but it’s not one with any reduced appeal, as showcased by a 4.5/5 rating on the Epic Games Store and agenerally strong critical reception.Each level inLEGO Builder’s Journeyis stylized as a small vignette, a minimalist approach that makes for a consistently strong presentation. The gameplay focuses on bridging paths through complex, shifting environments, making use of a wide variety of LEGO bricks along the way.
LEGO Horizon Adventures Has One Major Benefit The Mainline Games Lack
Sony revealed LEGO: Horizon Adventures at Summer Game Fest 2024, and one key gameplay mechanic already sets it apart from the main Horizon games.
There’s also some free-form appeal, witha 2022 Creative Mode update adding the necessary features for players to build their own creations in the game. It’s meant more for microscale builds thanepic LEGO digital creations, adding small building areas to various vignettes and dumping out a selection of pieces to work with. The limitations can make it easier to jump into and result in some clever efficiency, so they’re by no means a bad thing.
LEGO Builder’s Journeyisn’t the only free LEGO game on Epic Games Store, as the late 2023 release ofLEGO Fortniteadded a separate blocky game mode to the free-to-play titleFortnite.Although that can be fun with friends, this one could be a much better option for a relaxing experience. There’s no reason not to pick it up while it’s free, so making a note to grab anEpic Games Storecopy ofLEGO Builder’s Journeyon June 20 would be well-advised.
