LEGO Horizon Adventures bears the LEGO branding, but don’t be mistaken, this is not a Traveller’s Tales LEGO game. Developed by Guerrilla Games and Studio Gobo, LEGO Horizon Adventures breaks from the traditional LEGO formula that’s been used for decades by the former studio. This is distinctly felt in the types of objects you’ll be collecting as you make your way through the game. You won’t be collecting as much as a Traveller’s Tales LEGO game, but you also won’t be randomly hunting for Kits, Puzzle Pieces, and large amounts of Studs. Instead, LEGO Horizon Adventures has two different collectibles to collect throughout the game.
The Hunt Begins
Review: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
Does Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered justify its existence or is this merely a quick cash-grab while we continue to wait for Horizon 3?
LEGO Horizon Adventures features two different Bricks to collect:
Unlike other LEGO games, Bricks aren’t hidden inside any of the game’s levels. Instead, they’re handed out as rewards for completing missions, challenges and Apex Hunts. So, DO NOT waste your time combing through every section of a level. You won’t find any Bricks there.
Going for Gold
Gold Bricks are the most common of the Bricks and are required to build additional buildings within Mother’s Heart. There are three main ways to earn Golden Bricks:
Of the three, completing story missions is the most straightforward. You’ll earn a Golden Brick at the end of each mission, of which there are five per area (the Sacred Lands is the only area with six Gold Bricks). Approaching an area will show you how many missions you’ve completed and Gold Bricks you’ve earned, making it easy to keep track.
Tallnecks are interesting as they’re presented as an optional activity, though the very first Tallneck mission is mandatory. In the other Tallneck missions, you’ll be presented with the option of climbing one, or going back to Mother’s Heart. Go ahead and climb the Tallneck. It doesn’t take long, is simple, and saves you a trip of having to replay the mission.
Where you’ll earn most of the Gold Bricks is from Jobs picked up at the Community Jobs Board at the center of Mother’s Heart. Additional Jobs become available after earning a number of Gold Bricks. Overall, these Jobs are relatively easy to complete, with the most time-consuming being ones requiring you to defeat enemies a certain way.
Job examples:
Seeing Red
Red Blocks are unique in that there’s only one way to earn them, Apex Hunts, and that they only unlock a handful of late-game customization items. It isn’t necessary to complete the game or finish the long-list of Jobs.
Apex Hunts unlock after completing all Snowchant Mountain missions. After that, Apex Hunts unlock with four hunts available in each area.
Apex Hunts function similarly to a normal mission, though are notably shorter. Players work their way through a level before battling a final enemy. In this case, players will always face off against a powerful Machine. Beat the Machine and the Red Brick is yours.
