BIONICLE, Horizon & Fortnite Brick Life - LEGO Gaming in 2024
Over the course of making these yearly rewinds, I’ve noticed a pattern when it comes to LEGO gaming: we get a year with one specific thing being the focus, followed by another with an incredible variety of content, before returning back to one title getting all the attention.
Thankfully, this year marked another slew of amazing games and collaborations from so many different developers, some of which I don’t think anyone saw coming, but that isn’t to say all news was positive.
My work is made possible thanks to my supporters.
