The LEGO Skywalker Saga did a better job of telling the story than the movies. One of the few games I 100% completed. Just a fun, chill way to unwind.
I’ll always have a soft spot for Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga, and the Lego Marvel games. So many hours were spent playing with my brothers.
Same I played so much Lego Star wars on the Wii with my brother. Good times
I loved Lego Island but will never forgive Lego Island 2 for the bad disk that would crash after 3/4 of the game. I never got to finish it.
Rock Raiders & Lego Loco were great (if a little inadvisable in terms of the Lego Loco letters).
Lego Island was one of my first PC games, and I spent absolute ages in it. Still have my CD. As an adult I find it a little too zany and wacky for an in-depth revisit, but as a young imaginative ADHD boy it was an amazing little sandbox to run around in. So many different ways to interact with things, ways to customize your island through different characters changing stuff when you clicked on it, and just enough mysterious things to keep the imagination going.
I’m looking forward to the decomp that MattKC is working on for it.
Outside of that, I played a TON of the old flash and shockwave games on the Lego website. I felt so cool knowing extra lore around the mask of light movie because I had been playing the Bionicle flash game. They also had a lot of neat puzzle games.
The concept of the programmable Spybots, and the K’Nex programmable kit really jump started my interest in programming as a kid too.
I’ve really enjoyed many of the IP based games over the years, Star Wars, Marvel, Indiana Jones and even Lego GTA. Oh sorry, Lego City: Undercover.
The one that really disappointed me was Lego: Worlds. I thought it would be fun to build with unlimited bricks virtually but it’s just not for me.
I like to have physical bricks in front of me which give me ideas as I build. Finding different bricks in the pile gives me new ideas as I build. That’s not something than happens with the game.
On the flip side, playing with the 80s Space sets was a huge nostalgia kick for me.
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga was the first game I played. So great that I even bought it on disk, to buy it again on Steam.
In general LEGO games are fun and through collaboration with other IP’s, there’s so many different awesome games. Many of them quite cheap in sales.
Oh man these games. I started with Lego chess I think, then graduated to Lego island 2, then finally hit my stride with Lego Star wars onwards (Batman, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, LOTR, etc). I loved every minute of them. I still haven’t finished the Skywalker saga but I’ll have to get around to it sooner or later.
I also spent a good bit of time as a kid playing the games Lego kept on their website, like the bionicle flash game, Lego backlot studio (or something like that, it was 3d and you’d hunt down props for people), and whatnot.
Lots of fond memories for a kid with a rough home situation. Thanks for the walk down memory lane OP
I have a soft Spot for Lego Land (A game where you build a amusement Park for Lego people). But the mission where aliens steal your buildings I still hate.
Mata Nui Online Game is a classic in the Bionicle community. I also remember playing Bionicle Heroes for GBA. Liked it when I was young; not so much today
As for other games, I have discovered LEGO Island relatively recently; Brick by Brick is a certified banger
I still occasionally fire up Lego City Undercover for the fun of it. I find the mechanic of being able to switch between all the roles a little bit more enjoyable than only having access to one or two sets of skills, but it’s a minor quibble when all of the games are so much fun.
I adore anything LEGO related. As a kid I spent hours playing LEGO Rock Raiders and LEGO Football Mania. Later on I played countless of afternoons with a friend in LEGO Star Wars.
Recently I played LEGO Builder’s Journey and it blew me away. It is the most realistic rendition in games of how it actually feels to play with LEGO bricks. It looks gorgeous and I really liked the chill vibe and cute story.
I’ve recently been enjoying LEGO Fortnite with my friends. Again, my inner child just becomes insanely happy once I can start building stuff and hear the clicks of the LEGO bricks joining together.
I used to love Lego Racers. I knew all the tracks and shortcuts, and I knew exactly how to make my favorite racing car. I remember playing the game at home as well as at my friends’ houses, and I always made the same car design, as I was convinced it was the fastest. What a great game!
Lego Island… What a fucking legendary game.
I enjoyed the original songs on the jukebox in Lego Island 1. Ran at 1fps on the old family computer back in the day. Good times
Anyone here remember the old flash game Junkbot?
