Lego Horizon Adventures

Lego Horizon Adventures is an adventure game that brings the older-rated Horizon games into a family-friendly brick-based form. Play involves the usual exploration, destruction and combat, and is interspersed with a tongue-in-cheek retelling of a post-apocalyptic story. It stands out for its tongue-in-cheek telling of the apocalyptic story, simple controls and cooperative adventure. The game is set in the distant future, where lush nature has reclaimed the Earth after disaster. You meet the Nora tribe and must take on the dinosaur-like machines that roam the forests, mountains, and deserts that stretch beyond the village walls. You play machine hunter Aloy to lead your team on a quest to save the world and learn the secrets of her past. Like the main games, there's much to do and discover here as you dive into the world and customise your character.

As you progress you learn to hunt machines and unlock other characters with unique abilities: Varl, Teersa, and Erend. This slowly allows you to delve further into the world and defeat harder enemies. Share the fun with another player online, or via innovative couch co-op on a single screen, so you're always in the same world together.

The result is a game that is fun for younger players while also doing justice to the considerable and hard-hitting content of the main games.

Good to know

Insights to ensure your child's gaming experience remains safe and enjoyable

Consider time investment

Adventure games often take a long time to finish. Encourage regular breaks to get moving, rest their eyes and balance their time with other activities.

Nurture key skills

Many adventure games incorporate problem solving and critical thinking, important skills for school, work and more offline. Talk to them about their game to see how it supports them and their goals.

Build resilience

Encourage children to take risks with their characters in-game to safely learn potential consequences. Talk about what might happen outside of the game and why it's important to keep those risks in-game only. While playing, encourage them to think about innovative risks their character can take.

Skill level age

Suggested by Family Gaming Database

7+

You need to be able to read and get around the 3D world. Easier difficulty settings and not having to control the game camera make this more approachable for younger players. However, youngsters not familiar with the story and character will need more perseverance and inquisitiveness to play through to the end.

Content rating

Rated PEGI 7 for Violence. Violence in this game is unrealistic and comical. When characters are defeated they break into small Lego bricks. There are no visible injuries, blood effects or disturbing indications of pain.
