LEGO Voyagers is a charming video game in every sense of that word. It looks pleasing to the eye with LEGO's signature style graphics, and its music and cute little sounds will make your heart melt.
I certainly wasn't expecting that this co-op puzzle platformer would have such a relaxing effect. It's one of those games that you turn on, hoping to get that "feel good" experience when you get sick of all the shooters and open-world RPGs on the market.
In LEGO Voyagers, you and your co-op partner control two LEGO bricks - a red and a blue one - and the concept of the game is that you two work together to overcome obstacles by combining LEGO parts.
It sounds great on paper, but the execution of this idea is even more impressive. The puzzles are not hard at all. I'd say they are just challenging enough to make them accessible for all ages, which is always welcomed.
While the game is ten times more fun in couch play, when your co-op partner is sitting beside you and you're able to exchange all those emotions that come after solving a puzzle together, the online play is also praiseworthy, mainly due to the cute communication system, which looks unusable at first but quickly becomes something you'll use all the time, be it to laugh at your partners' unforunate fails or point them in the right direction when they don't know what they're supposed to do.
The only sin LEGO Voyagers commits is the length. This is a very short game - you'll be able to beat it in four hours, which can be two or three gaming sessions only.
But I don't look at it as a major negative, as the overall experience is truly wonderful, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Working together to overcome the challenges in this beautiful world really had an unusually positive effect on me and my partner, something that games don't do that often.
It may only last a handful of hours, but every moment of LEGO Voyagers is pure joy, a short but sweet co-op gem.
