Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Please make playable builds and five stars for the fps and obviously the brickwork.
We thought it was a random lego game at first but then we figured out the whole story. It was so heartwarming and lovely. It could make someone cry (in a good way) we wish there were more content our prayers were answered! The robots journey is here! So excited to do it.
We played this a while ago and then remembered about it the other day. We love the nostalgia and how the robots story is concluded with this new update.
Everything about this game is just perfect. The story is easy to understand and well conveyed even without words. The puzzles are interesting, unique, fun to do, and arent annoyingly difficult. The soundtrack is beautiful and full of emotion. The sound design is also incredibly well done, and makes moving pieces around very satisfying. The controls are simple and effective, and for the most part its obvious which bricks you can pick up and which are just part of the environment. Speaking of which, the environments in this game are masterpieces in their own right. The amount of detail in even the simplest ones is remarkable, and nearly all of them look like they can actually be recreated with real LEGO pieces. Great work from everyone involved, thank you so much for creating this gem of a game, and we look forward to seeing what this studio produces in the future.
We thought this had gotten taken down we reinstalled it recently. We cannot explain how nostalgic this was for us, and it warms our heart to see it back on here, and Ive been playing it nonstop. Thank you for creating this, you all are lovely people. Keep up your great work! <3.
It makes our autism just so happy, lego team really did something amazing here so props to them.
It's potentially really fun but the controls are so finicky that it kills the fun. Why not put a highlight on the area where the bricks are going to go? Instead you just have to hope you're hovering over the right spot.
Always hard to tap on the exact brick we want, better off with controllers maybe.
Lots of things are great, but the game isn't quite there. Three problems are: (1) controls are still awkward, interfering with core play (2) at some point the game just adds a gian haze around all levels for no apparent reason — breaking part of what made it special (3) levels where you actually get to play with legos and do any kind of puzzling with them don't come until very late (and after ther wierd haze). The game feels like somethign someone started, but didn't finish. That said, the core graphics are beautiful and special in 3D in a way they wouldn't be in 2D. And the idea of playing with legos in this space is spectacular. Hopefully the devs finish this game or it inspires others.
Very fun, very pretty. We are currently unable to advance past one of the later levels due to our little guy not spawning in, but we enjoyed what we did play. We cant easily share which because the levels appear to be unlabeled, but hoping for a fix.
The game works perfectly, besides occasional tracking issues. Thought its very fun, highly recommend.
Im so impressed with this nice simple, beautiful game. Lego did a great job at showing off the hand track tracking capabilities of the Apple Vision Pro. Bravo Lego.
This game is incredible to play on Vision Pro. Manipulating the blocks with your eyes and hands is a delight. The gameplay itself is wonderful too, a relaxing, adventurous journey. Our only problem is that, like some other folks who have left reviews here, we are stuck at 94% completion and unable to continue, because there appears to be a bug in the game. It is essentially impossible to proceed in this level. We really hope they fix this soon. Otherwise, its a wonderful experience you absolutely must experience for yourself.
Probably the best game Vision Pro has to offer right now. Glad with Vision Pro 1.1 Beta we can now get the game closer to our view. The game could use a rotation with gesture and a better visual of what pieces could be picked up. Hope Devs will update.
Hi expecting all Lego bricks for building free things or all Lego sets to build n pro vision with instructions.
Watched a PC walkthrough and saw that a level near the end is supposed to spawn a character required to beat the level however this version does not spawn the character and it is impossible to beat. Going back to a previous level does not work and neither does force quitting. Would be amazing otherwise.
Ive reached the 94 percent mark and we were very excited to finish the game. Unfortunately, we realize that the next level is unbeatable because of a glitch. The robot character is supposed to appear, and yet there are no characters or other interactive objects in the level level appears immediately after a level in which the father character has to submit a tray of colorful pieces. Im not sure if anybody else has been able to beat this game but unfortunately we are stuck here. We created a second safe file that got stuck at the exact same spot. Hopefully you have better work.
The music is very calm and the Lego animation is perfect ,and we also like how this game has creative mode so we can build anything.
We love this game and first you can create in creative mode. Second go to the journey. And three. Please do more Lego arcade games. Thank you for your support.
This gameis so good it has great music we just beat it.
Im surprised by the amount of bad reviews. The game controls could be better but theyre not too bad once you get used to them. The puzzles are pretty simple with some of them requiring a bit more trial and error than others. Bottom line, youre trying to get the lego kid from one place on the map to another its not that complicated! Overall, we found this to be an enjoyable cozy game with a cute little story and we recommended it.
Its simple. Just the right amount of challenging. And it looks AMAZING. Must play for any LEGO fan. Best Apple Arcade game there is and will ever be. Hoping for an update with another journey.
Hello so we dont really write reviews much but this game deserves it we have anxiety and this game is so calming and the story is sad though NOT GONNA SPOIL! We do feel like the creative mode could use more features.
The creators of this game packed so much emotion and story-telling into such simple characters and scenes. Once you get the hang of the controls, this is a relatively simple puzzle game that has you navigating beautiful Lego scenes by building and figuring out patterns. We think even young kids would enjoy watching an adult play.
So we were on a family trip with our four year old, and we installed a few games on our iPad for him to work through while we were on the road. He gravitated to a different game from this one, but we started playing it after he fell asleep one night, and it sucked us in and resonated with us in a way thats hard to describe. We were not expecting much of a story, much less one that would speak so strongly to an adult audience, and while we think kids would absolutely appreciate the themes, we think its clear this was written for parents to play as much as kids. So thank you, we dont know the last time we felt something from a video game, and this one was wonderful.
It was SUPER fun just too short.
When we bout this, we thought it was one of those normal Lego games. But no. It was a game with great music, beautiful scenery, and it was about this kid with a dad who has to go to work. Very sad. But it almost felt like a Disney movie. We feel like it should be award winning. We wonder why its not. But it is amazing. Thank you for making our day.
This game is amazing, the sound design is out of this world and the graphics are beautiful. Its a fun adventure game with a not so clear story, but still engaging. The only issue is Im running this on a 13 Pro Max and it overheats almost instantly causing the screen to dim and the fps to lower. Kind of saddens us, but its overall amazing.
Fun game but short story mode and not alot to do in creative mode.
Visuals, audio, gameplay – perfection.
Its cute, our 3 year old is able to do a few levels no problem they can get tricky as time goes on. Love that they have a free build mode.
The atmosphere, music, and simplicity of this game makes us beg for more. Please make more games like this.
THIS GAME IS SO ADORABLE AND SO LOVING PLS PLAY we CRIED ITS AMAZING AND THE MESSAGE IS SO GOOD.
This game was super fun and very relaxing. Plus it told a story without words which was very impressive. The graphics are also astonishing. Please please please make more levels we could play this game forever.
So we were playing this for like ten minutes and we were already feeling sad and lonely. We dont know if that was the intention or not but it is still how we feel when we play it. Our very first build in sandbox was the father and son staring at the sunset. Which fit the mood pretty well its a fun game but we just feel lonely playing it.
We are a huge Lego fan and we are beyond impressed. The animation is beautiful and the levels are just challenging enough we have the urge to solve them and not just switch to another app. The story line that goes along about the little Lego and the big Lego was also a huge hit for us , it was enticing and by the time we finished the game we felt like we were on the journey with them. Lego and Apple have absolutely hit the mark with this ; hopefully there will be more story or another app soon!:).
Loved the game throughout, hoping for more levels in the future.
Great game and very put together-cute story. Was easy for us personally and the controls werent tough. The only complaint we have on this game is the ending where you leave the cute robot behind. The one thing we wish that wouldnt had happenedhappened.
As a dad with a young son, this game meant more to us than we expected. We loved the visuals, lighting, and puzzles, but more than that we loved the story of a young boy growing up and a father doing what he could to protect, teach, and enjoy his relationship with his son.
Along with some other people, we can agree that the controls need to be worked on, as they are a little clunky. It does make it hard to do things like get out of mud quick enough so that you dont sink and have to start over.
This game is fun. The controls stay finicky the entire game. Our son is sad that you dont save the robot in the end.
Its a great game overall, with a cute idea. That much we like. However, placing blocks in story mode is just so too difficult. We couldnt get past the beginning of story mode, so we checked out creative mode. There, we couldnt understand what to do. So we went back to story mode, but all our progress reset. And we never got to do anything that we saw here. So we simply gave up. Will you please make it so that its easier to place the blocks? Thanks.
Well, we like the beginning but there are scary scenes that could scare little children and has a sad story. We dont like that the last level is so hard. Please fix the last problem we said.
We dont like the way this functions. The tap and hold is frustrating at times. You arent able to turn the screen all the way. Boring.
Beautiful game, but not well-suited for iPad. The challenge is built on getting the controls to respond rather than sorting out the puzzles.
We guess our eyes have reach the point of old age because we really wish we could zoom in a little. And sometimes we dont know what Im supposed to do. Hints would be helpful. We dont think we can play anymore unless they do some kind of improvement for our old eyes.
Beautiful art style and vibes. The controls aren't great (and God help you if you're using touch controls). The puzzles are extremely uneven, some being so easy you can solve them accidentally and others being difficult to even figure out what your goal is.
We absolutely love this game, but we finished it way too quickly. Please make more puzzles. Totally recommend. If youre someone that has an amazing imagination with a love for legos or building, then this is a game for you. The puzzles are challenging, super fun, and an awesome storyline. Hope you love this game.
We like playing the game and all but its kind of easy and we got through it really quick and kind of the way its not fun to meBut we still do kind of like it because of the guessing.
