Just one brick at a time in LEGO’s latest game
Summer Game Fest delivered one of the more surprising reveals across showcases over the last week, as LEGO dropped an announced for a singl brick. Well, okay, two bricks, working together. Annapurna and Light Brick Studio, the developers behind the charming Builder’s Journey, have announced LEGO Voyagers, a co-op game in which players take control of a single 1×1 brick and must work alongside a friend to solve puzzles and traverse the terrain.
The game has an extremely simple idea: the brick can tumble, rotate and connect. And that’s basically it. But what it does with those mechanics could be a joy. This is LEGO, so bricks can connect to others to former bigger parts and pieces, to make bridges, to maybe even make rockets. Envorovnmental hazards and puzzles with have players work together to figure out how to get around. Need a big bridge? Connect with a friend. Need something to flip while rotating your own brick? Your friend cna do that too.
It’s a novel, clean way of approaching the co-op genre, and really does jump into how we play with LEGo today.
I MEANT HOW WE PLAYED AS KIDS. AS KIDS. NOT TODAY. I DON’T PLAY WITH THEM TODAY, I SWEAR.
But, uh, anyways… LEGO Voyagers is coming to Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC, but no date has been announced.
