I’m just not convinced that Horizon Zero Dawn is an ideal choice to adapt to the Lego-game formula.

And that’s been the goal.
Horizon Zero Dawn doesn’t have that.
Horizon Zero Dawn is a lot of things, but funny it is not.
“It’s been very challenging [to include those emotional moments] for sure,” Herrera said.
It doesn’t matter if you’re six years old or 60 years old.
It’s not heavy, but we are trying not to lose any of the core message."
Up to this point, the Lego games have primarily only made their characters Lego.
Not so for Lego Horizon.
It’s incredible and visually stunning, setting a new standard that I hope all future Lego games follow.
That [idea] actually came from when we met with Guerrilla," Herrera said.
And obviously you know Guerrilla; they aim for excellence in everything they do.
So they–all of us, really–wanted to make the best Lego game ever.
Herrera continued: “And to do that, we had to build the whole world out of Legos.
We were just replacing things.
We really spent lots and lots of time investment on making it as real as possible.
If we ignore comparisons to other Lego games, Lego Horizon feels like a decent-enough experience.
That does beg the question, of course, as to who Lego Horizon is for.
We have done several things.
“There is a lot to discover,” Varrault clarified.
you might also change the outfits of your main characters and those outfits, they stay during the cutscenes.
They also have specific animations.
Again, we won’t spoil [anything] because the fun is in experimenting.
And the idea is that each biome, they have their own set of machines.
So again, new things for you to discover.
They all have their own progression track as well.
And the same goes for the other characters too.
The game is supporting both approaches.
So it was really a clear intention right from the beginning that we offer this palette of possibilities.”
Lego Horizon Adventures is scheduled to launch for PS5, PC, and Switch on November 14.
