The title deceived me into thinking the Switch port was broken! I'm just happy to find out that it isn't, which isn't that often for Switch ports in general.
Oh man, finding out that the port worked out pretty well is now making me ask the age old question? Portability on Switch or performance/graphics on my PS4?
They released it on switch for the same reason they put aloy in genshin and released a remaster of the first game no one asked for, bcs they want brand awareness for the multiplayer game theyre gonna make
It really is insane a 100% PlayStation themed game actually released on a Nintendo console. Even more insane considering the switch version still has dlc for ratchet and clank and sackboy outfits.
Calm tf down. It's a lego game based on Horizon Zero dawn. Once the actual game or other first party games are ported to Switch, it's not crazy. People get animated over stupid shit like this
Horizon is playstaions biggest franchise dude. The first game sold 24 MILLION. That game alone is bigger than the whole ratchet and clank series combined, lol.
If they "clearly wanted fans on the Switch to be interested", then they should have released a demo. A level-based game like this one could have easily gotten a demo, especially considering it's priced at 70 bucks, which is insane on every level imaginable. One should have the chance to try it before dropping that money on it
4:20??? I’ve played Horizon extensively, diving deep into its world lore and story, and I can name not just Aloy, but so many other characters who make the game unforgettable. From Erend, Sylens, Talanah, Varl, and Teersa, each one has their own unique story and depth that brings the world to life, like that dipshit Ted Faro, and the heroic Elisabet Sobeck, whose legacy shapes everything Aloy is fighting for. And let’s not forget about Rost. His role as both father figure and guide is foundational to Aloy’s journey. Growing up an outcast, searching for her mother, Elisabet, and trying to understand her place in the world, Aloy’s growth wouldn’t have been the same without Rost’s influence and Elisabet’s legacy. You can even visit Rost’s memorial as the game unfolds, a constant reminder of how much he shaped her path. Did you play Horizon enough to say there are no memorable characters? Petra, Nil, Uthid, Vanasha, Blameless Marad, Avad, Helis, Travis Tate, the list goes on. There’s so much more than just Aloy, and if you really invested in the game, you’d see how the whole cast adds layers to the experience and makes the world feel rich and real.
I rarely actually listen to all cutscenes in games but for some reason this one is so fun and entertaining! The gameplay and Lego sounds is so satisfying as well. I find it really cozy to play
PlayStation didn’t actually choose Horizon, Studio Gobo approached Guerilla and they were then given permission to use the IP for the game. As stated a game like Ratchet would have made more sense if Sony were to have made the move of their own volition.
Ratchet and clank sounds kind of stupid, it’s already a cartoonish animated game, don’t see how making a lego version complements it. It would just be a subpar ratchet and clank game
I'm going to see my younger cousins in two months and there were times where I offered to give them a PS4 or Xbox One since I already have a PS5 and Series X but they confidently said they love their Switch to this day, which I'm really grateful they are because I only had a Wii and WiiU for a long time but wanted to play a bunch of third-party games for a long time (hope they someday play pc though). They absolutely love Lego games though so I'm thinking I could maybe give them this alongside Metroid Dread or Prime Remastered so they can get ready for Prime 4, thank you for the review!
At 7:28, yet again, for Lego Horizon, you say the game "isn’t particularly memorable and doesn’t really add anything new." Honestly, if you’re saying that, it shows you’re not....., because lego horizon is adding something new. The vibe is totally different, but it’s still rooted in what makes Horizon: the world-building, the characters, the heart of the story. The Lego version is more lighthearted and kid-friendly, but it’s still faithful to the Zero Dawn narrative. The humor, the adventure, the charm, it’s a fresh way to experience the world and characters. You can clearly tell the developers put a lot of love and effort into making it fun, but also keeping the spirit of Horizon alive. It’s not just a "re-telling" it’s a different spin that brings new energy to the story, and that’s something really special. It’s like a warm hug for fans and for lego fans.
Nah, Sony is porting games for the money not for the gamers. They basically said that they want to entice those communities into buying a PlayStation, and maybe be invested in the PS community like buying games on their store, subscribe to PS+, and all that.
Sony really wants Horizon to be a thing. As in the next God of War, Uncharted, or The Last of Us, or Spider-Man. It's not gonna happen. It's a solid series that reviews and sells well but it'll never reach that 1st string status so to speak. It'll sit comfortably towards the top of their 2nd string series and that's ok.
Honestly i like this version of the series better than the PS5 version of the series. I wasn't impressed with the original version because it took too many ideas from other franchises and didn't feel unique enough to me. The LEGO version felt just unique enough for me to like it and the whole ham of the Lego versions of IPs in the past really work well here
A Lego game that isn’t open world doesn’t sound good to me. The only Lego games I enjoyed were Lego City Undercover and Lego Marvel Superheroes, but I did enjoy those two a lot.
Lego City Undercover is the goat, amazing Story, really great open world with all that different city parts and a great main character that is not some superhero or from a other franchise.
"The Horizon series is known for not having the most memorable cast of characters" What on EARTH are you talking about?? The characters are what carry the game, specially in Horizon 2! The characters are amazing! You are trippin' with that analysis & clearly not a legit Horizon fan to say some nonsense like that man...
I guess Sony sees this as an advertisment for their big franchise... maybe hoping that kids who play this on Switch now will want a Playstation later to play the "real" Horizon games.
uhhhh just too let you know the pc platform is a good place too play backwards compatibility hardware like we got a ps1 emulator for ps1 games ps2 aka pcsx2 emulator too play ps2 games and ps3 aka rcps3 emulator for ps3 games and a ps4 one and psp and ps vita we pc guys have played allot of older ps games
It doesn't matter how dark the original series is, a Lego game is always a child-friendly game, so the Switch and not the Xbox makes sense, in fact I think the Switch version will sell better than the PS5 version
So many people saying it's a strange choice to do a lego game on the horizon games. Those are definitely the people that don't own a ps5 or a switch...😂😂😂😂
@@RussVandy how is it weird? Horizion is about collecting robot dinos for parts for upgrades Legos about exploring creativity with variety of parts and pieces this is literally a Bread and Butter: Perfect Collab, The only other comparison to a PERFECT collab we have (faik) is Lego Minecraft which is ALREADY a thing aswell Not to mention all the Mocs others in both communities have made since or even before the Actuall Talneck model came out. Lego mc is more for younger audiences, Lego Horizion should be (imo) for more older audiences
I'm a huge Horizon fan and this game... It just dosent need to exist, Horizon was made to apeal to adults, kids most likely would be bored with the realistic world of horizon. Its not like the simpson that even tho its an adult series kids show interest because its a cartoon.
Got it on switch and it's actually rely good and by far best looking one on switch graphically... totally.agree it's a strange choice after only 2 games in series.... would love to see a lego tomb raider game especially after all the remastered series of the original games
What a waste of time. I watched many reviews for this game but this one is truly broken.. this is by far the dumbest review I've seen for this game. Starting with the title of this video. 🤦

This is the best review I've seen for this game as others compared it to mainline Horizon games, rather than Lego Games.
Thanks! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
my thing about it is, they could've gone the lego star wars gameplay route, this would've been 10 times better, like a low key legit horizon on switch
Fun fact - this isn't the first PlayStation game on Switch, MLB The Show was.
No! What's strange is that Playstation made a SWITCH GAME. Historically they've always really hated Nintendo.
but nintendo is sony playstation's ex, so it is what it is😂, it just happened, jokes aside, its nice they let lego and Guerilla games do this.
Its nintendo thats stingy with its ips, imagine mario games on steam or ps store lol

When I first saw it I was like why is it not on XBOX and then I was like why is it on Nintendo Switch?
Because its where most of said market exists
The real question is how does Sylens new VA sound?
Since it's not Keith David or David Harewood, I imagine not good...
Does this game support 30 second video capture feature on Nintendo Switch?
Horizon could be a Movie as far as I'm concerned! The story is AMAZING!
Truuuuue🙌
Wait.... Playstation gave you a code for the Nintendo Switch version?!? I don't get that...

PlayStation 5, pc and the last one
I’m playing at 30 fps on my ps5 pro. For that maximum fidelity. It doesn’t seem to be pro enhanced though so you get the base ps5 experience.

Lego Horizons was Studio Gobo's idea,they went to Sony to pitch the idea with Guerilla Game dev n Sony agreed,co-fund n help with development
Where? from what I know it was LEGO.
