LEGO Horizon Adventures launches to mixed critic reviews

In a surprising move, Sony announced a PlayStation-published LEGO game based on its popular Horizon IP earlier this year. Intended to be a more family-friendly conversion of Zero Dawn’s narrative, LEGO Horizon Adventures has just launched for all to enjoy – with critic reviews now out in the wild.

With a MetaCritic score of 71 and an Opencritic rating of 72, LEGO Horizon Adventures has received a somewhat mixed reception, with reviews either skewing to the positive or mixed position – though very few overall negatives.

That said, according to critics, the game does offer a strong showing and will likely resonate well with younger audiences or more casual family members.

Unfortunately, one of the biggest downsides seems to be the game’s short length alongside relatively repetitive gameplay – especially for its asking price of £59.99.

Of course, the game will likely strike a chord with its intended audience of younger players, and so we will have to wait and see what the general public thinks of LEGO Horizon Adventures as more people get their hands on it and play through the full experience.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
