What To Expect From LEGO: Horizon Adventures

LEGO: Horizon’s Gameplay & Story

LEGO: Horizon Adventuresprovides a lighthearted take on the original game’s formula. Players can control Aloy and friends throughout an original story set in theHorizonuniverse. It’s unknown exactly what the story’s focus will be, but if the trailer is to be believed, it’ll heavily involve a rampaging Thunderjaw and a much quippier Aloy.

It uses an isometric perspective, but otherwise,the mechanics are generally similar to those of the mainlineHorizonseries. Aloy employs a mix of ancient weaponry and futuristic technology to fight a menagerie of mechanized beasts, sending them shattering into bursts of brick. Boss battles take place in larger arenas, with AoEs to avoid. There may also be a bit more platforming involved this time around, as Aloy flies across zip lines and jumps across lily pads.

LEGO: Horizon Adventuresalso features co-op gameplay- a second player can control another character with a slightly different fighting style. The two can work together to explore ancient ruins, gather rare materials, and defeat enemies larger than themselves.
