Following the adorable tech demo LEGO Builder’s Journey, Light Brick Studios is back with adorable brick-based co-op game LEGO Voyagers. Instead of a journey between father and son, this new multiplayer adventure puts you and a friend in the role of one-piece plastic friends on the adventure of a lifetime.
In a recent play session, we were treated to the game’s first, a cutesy trip through the game’s adorable opening as the two LEGO friends leave their homes to rescue an abandoned spaceship and explore the world.
Voyagers isn’t a traditional LEGO game. It’s not an adaptation of Batman or Star Wars, there’s no studs to collect. Instead, you’re travelling through an entirely non-verbal playground where everything is constructed from LEGO pieces, and you interact with the world entirely as a one-piece object would.
In essence, it’s a puzzle game, although as a cosy, kid-friendly one we never experienced any real challenge when playing. As you and a friend explore, you’ll roll your bodies around to move your limbless bodies and connect to other pieces in order to manipulate their place in the world. You can also “sing”, letting out a series of “la” sounds to activate certain objects, tell a friend to come over, or simply have a melodic time.
Occasionally, you’ll come across objects that aren’t puzzles, but simply changes to enjoy the world around you. One section had a hidden see-saw that you can manipulate with a friend, another had a swing. It’s one of those cosy games that excels in cutesy additions, peppering every location with something extra for you to “aaawww” at, and it’s incredibly effective.
It’s a very simple game, but a satisfying one, largely due to how tactile the entire experience is. When you roll around you feel it, even with a haptic-filled controller like a DualSense connected, and there’s a satisfying click-and-pop as you explore the world around you and discover its secrets. This isn’t a deep experience, but it cleverly drives you further towards its mysteries and makes you want to see more.
Unfortunately, for as much as I really enjoyed my hour with LEGO Voyagers, I can’t really think of much to say about it. It’s one of those demos where it sadly ends just as the real adventure begins. However, it’s off to a great start with some fantastic feeling movement, a look like no other, and a charm that is like Snipperclips on a sugar rush.
LEGO Voyagers releases on September 15, 2025 for PC, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5 and Xbox Series consoles.
