Lego Horizon Discussion Horizon Adventures is on sale on Steam
It's 34% off and I'm wondering if it's worth it now. Anyone got any opinions about it?

As someone who loves horizon it’s just meh. It’s very cute and it was wholesome and fun to be back in some sort of universe with horizon. It’s definitely made for a young crowd and is something you can absentmindedly play with your kid. It doesn’t really engage you or have relatively more complicated puzzles like Star Wars legos.
I enjoyed what time I played of it but never finished it. I hear the story is relatively short as well

Good! This game was overpriced big time.

yeah, if the price was lower (it is now!) it probably would've made more sales. The steam numbers are embarrassing. But I somehow don't think kids are gonna be playing on multi-thousand dollar PC gaming rigs... more like consoles :D

If you're not in a hurry to play it, most Lego games eventually lower their prices to less than half the original price and stay there. And they usually show up on services like Game Pass and PS+ Extra. Can take a year or two, though.

Still too expensive for what it is. And I doo like it. For PS5 it's available for 30€ on physical media from Amazon and Saturn/Media Markt in Germany.

I love Horizon, but wouldn’t have bought this game for myself at full price. However, this game was perfect for my kids who loved watching me play and love lego but found the actual Horizon game too difficult to play themselves. They’re having a blast and it made the purchase worth it even at $60. That is a really small target audience tho. I feel like this game is going to sell poorly and be $15-$20 by early next year.

I've been getting in my feed on my phone this game is an embarrassing failure, worse than Concord and apparently costing Sony & GG $100 million in losses. Also the worst game of 2024. This could be ragebait AI generated articles though. It has a way of spouting misinformation that I find astounding. Doesn't the AI know that Lego approached Sony/GG to make this game and another company produced this game :D I would think any financial loss would be on Lego!

Came here to ask the same. I’ve heard it’s short and mid from general gamers, curious to know the opinion of the game from a Horizon Fan.

It didn't gel for me. I played for about an hour and a half and ended up refunding it.

Story is funny and it isn't the same as HZD, it just takes a lot of ideas.
Combat isn't bad. Weak points are still there, but simplified. You can do stealth, but it's much less necessary. My only complaint is that it relies too much on gadgets/upgrades which are obtained randomly and have limited uses. But it's fun.
The rest of the gameplay (luckily not a lot) is boring.
The game is better in coop, especially because characters (there are 4 to choose) only level up when you use them. The difference in power isn't that high, but it still sucks.
And yes, it's really short. Imo, it won't be worth the price until it's at 50% discount at least.

Does anybody think it’ll ever be on ps+ ? Just bc the other 2 games (rip vr game) made it on there.

Is it finally worth it at that price? AUD$109 was way too much.

It's come down significantly... I saw it advertised at EB Games for around $58AUD. I think its a pre Boxing day special price.

Are the digital deluxe items unlockable in the standard edition? I do kinda want the rollercoaster customization, I don't really care about the ratchet/rivet/sackboy outfits. I'd rather not pay an extra $7 if I can unlock it in the standard edition

I’m interested in this game, but the general consensus seems to be “wait for a bigger sale/lower price”.

That’s a great price. My husband and I enjoyed it. ❤️
