Lego Builder's Journey is a puzzle game developed by Light Brick Studio and published by The Lego Group. When it first released on December 19, 2019, Lego Builder's Journey was initially an exclusive game for the Apple Arcade service on iOS and macOS; however, the game was subsequently ported to the Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows, with these ports both being made available on June 22, 2021.[1] It was also ported to Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on November 25, 2021.[2] The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 ports of the game released on April 19, 2022.[3][4] Lego Builder's Journey and Lego Brawls were the first two Lego games for Apple Arcade.[5]

Development and release

The game, originally developed under the title Lego Arthouse, has been described by Lego as "... a narrative journey about play itself, touching deeply on the belief of we only get old because we stop playing. Targeted at a more mature audience, it is an expression of the value of creativity in a coming of age story, set amongst a micro LEGO world heavily inspired by our AFOL community."[6] It was the first game developed by Light Brick Studio, Lego Group's own internal video game development studio.[7][8]

The Windows version of the game uses Nvidia RTX.

Reception

LEGO Builder's Journey received "generally favorable" reviews upon release according to review aggregator Metacritic.[9][10][11][12][21]
