Lego versions of <em>Star Wars <\/em>and <em>Harry Potter <\/em>and <em>Jurassic World<\/em> show how we love using Lego to build our own adventures in these famous franchises. Meanwhile, something like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/games\/lego-worlds-is-legos-final-video-game-form-1716646\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"><em>Lego Worlds<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is all about using your imagination to build something totally from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>However, none of these games have really depicted the emotions underpinning our love of Lego. These blocks have been around so long there\u2019s multi-generational nostalgia for them, adults passing them onto their children. This epiphany is what eventually gave <em>The Lego Movie<\/em> its added resonance beyond the great gags.<\/p>\n<p>And now <em>Lego Builder\u2019s Journey<\/em> is aiming for resonance from the start.

A standout from that era is <em>Monument Valley<\/em>. And with <em>Lego Builder\u2019s Journey<\/em> it really does look like Lego wanted to make its own take on that game in particular.<\/p>\n<p>This \u201cartistic, nonverbal puzzle adventure\u201d comes from Light Brick, a new internal Lego games studio tasked with creating narrative games like this. What a fascinating idea. In the game players remake the gorgeous little Lego worlds around them, and chill out to relaxing music, to meditate on the nature of creativity itself, \u201chighlighting the importance of play in our lives.\u201d Keep in mind that Lego promotes \u201cserious play\u201d at like corporate team-building events, so they\u2019ve always been down for this kind of hippy magical thinking.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lego Builder\u2019s Journey<\/em> is available now on Apple Arcade.
