Hell, it’s a very different target market from the rest of the horizon franchise..
Lego games are a slog. They can be fun for a while, but the design of them forces you to speed through the story and then go back to replay the whole damned thing to collect all the shit you can’t get the first time around.
Frankly I’m not excited about it. I love horizon, but I think it’s a stupid decision to make a Lego game as the next installment in an otherwise exceptional franchise. Especially since it launched for $60 on console. No way it’s worth that; it’s a Lego game.
Over the last 5 years we've seen games developed not just by Traveller's Tales but also Red Games Co, Gameloft, ClockStone Studio, Visual Concepts, Epic Games and now Guerrilla Games / Studio Gobo.
