LEGO Voyagers Review

Now, I will preface my review of LEGO Voyagers by saying this is an essential purchase if you have a partner who is even slightly into games. This is because it is possibly the most perfect couples’ game I have played since It Takes Two.

When I sat down to play this with my partner, I had absolutely no expectations. However, after finishing it after about four hours, I came away thinking this was the perfect game for those cold winter nights and ideal for couples who want to play more games together.

The Good

Honestly, I could gush about how cute and adorable this game is. It begins with your somewhat mute characters watching a space shuttle launch, and it is this constant, free-flowing world that is both a plus and a minus.

There is no real story, per se, but it lets you explore this world and complete the game with its varied environments, and it does make working together imperative.

The graphics are drop-dead gorgeous, as exemplified by the varied environments in the game, ranging from lush, natural settings to urban cityscapes and futuristic, technological buildings. The game also does well to show the scale of the world compared to the characters. Your characters are so small in the grand scheme of things. From the massive radar dishes to the leafy jungles, the world is just perfect.

The puzzles are challenging enough to make you sit and think but not too hard to frustrate novice gamers.

While I say that the shortness of the game is a negative (underneath), when I look at it from the price point of £20, it is more understandable.

Lastly, if I have said it once, I have already said it a hundred times in this review. This is the perfect game for couples. It is simple enough for novice gamers to enjoy, but it is also complex enough to satisfy more experienced gamers. If you loved It Takes Two and want something simpler to play in one evening, this game is perfect.

The Bad

This will be short, like the game itself. Overall, I think you can finish this game in around five hours at most. This is a very one-and-done adventure, which could rub people the wrong way.

There are only two real negatives for me in this game: the lack of a story or direction for the journey and the lack of any tutorial.

LEGO games, for me, are at their best when the story is full of wit and humour, but there isn’t any of that here. It is about the blue and red blocks navigating an ever-expanding world, and that is the biggest departure from the LEGO game formula.

My other negative stems from the fact that there are no real tutorials on how to play the game or what to do. This can be problematic if you are playing with someone who hasn’t picked up a controller in a long time.

After a while, you do get the hang of the task at hand, but a pop-up prompt would not go amiss.

Final Thoughts on LEGO Voyagers

What I will say is that if you are expecting a game of the same length as It Takes Two, or you’re expecting the usual LEGO game fare, then you will be disappointed. However, if you approach this with the discounted price in mind and the mindset that it is designed for a quick couples’ adventure, then you will love it.

What I will also say is that you might want to play a drinking game while playing this as the number of times I heard my partner say, “Aww, aren’t they cute?” or “How adorable is this game?”, you will be smashed in no time.

Overall, if you are looking for a brief, fun adventure to play with your significant other, then you can’t go wrong with LEGO Voyagers.
