Legos have been around since they were first manufactured by the Danish toy company The Lego Group in 1949, and have become a playtime staple in households all over the world. The iconic bricks are great because they can do so much. With them, you can reconstruct scenes from movies or sporting events, hell, scientists once used them to demonstrate time reversal experiments. They are also in TVs. There are currently 67 lego video games out there and while technically, you could play every single one of them, the truth is that not all lego based games are created equal, so why not just play the best ones? And since Lego video games have been around since the 90s, narrowing things down to the best of the last ten years means they won’t be impossibly obscure andhard to find.

乐高Star Wars: The Force Awakens

乐高Batman 2

Lego Batman 2给乐高游戏带来了两个创新。It was both the first lego game to feature voice acting and the first to let players explore an in-game open world.

It’s like a much, much kid-friendlier version ofGrand Theft Auto.

乐高Harry Potter: Years 5-7

The downside of乐高Harry Potter: Years 5-7is that it covers a lot of familiar territory from乐高Harry Potter Years: 1-4.And the upside is that it doesn’t matter. Some highlights include the option to venture freely around Hogwarts and even parts of London while playing co-op with your spouse or kids.

乐高Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

Remember when the archaeologist most likely to stop a biblical curse from devouring the world was just in the movies?乐高Indiana Jonescame out ten years ago following the success of乐高Star Wars, which makes it one of the first of the new franchise-based lego video games to come out.

乐高City Undercover

A procedural drama with a witty cop that also happens to be a plastic lego figurine? What is this witchcraft?乐高City Undercoversucceeds because it has all the good stuff from other Lego games and throws in tongue-in-cheek action movie tropes. It borrows vibes from movies likeDie HardandLethal Weaponbut takes itself way less seriously. Now that the newest version of乐高City Undercoverincludes a co-op feature the original version didn’t, tackling the massive overworld is less of a lonesome chore.

乐高Jurassic World

One rule of thumb is that the more variety a game offers, the more fun it is, and LEGOJurassic Worldhas over 100 playable characters (including Mr. DNA), which is more than enough variety.

IGN score: 7.6/10

playtime: 7.5 hours

乐高Lord of the Rings

This is a Lego game with the gorgeous landscapes of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films. When the developers at Travellers Tales put this game together, they were in full focus mode, giving special care to every detail as they rendered their Middle Earth.

playtime: 8 hours

乐高The Movie Video Game

One limitation of basing a game off ofThe Lego Movie是,与借来的特许经营,有not as big of a universe to expand on. Still, for younger players who don’t have the same connection to franchises like Star Wars or Indiana Jones, this game is a fun extension of a hilarious movie.
