Often, you’re placing bricks, tiles and other LEGO pieces to try and create a pathway between two characters. Once you’ve picked up the basics of rotating, moving and placing bricks – which comes complete with that very satisfying ‘snaps into place’ sound that you’ll recognise from real life LEGO playtimes – the nature of these puzzles will begin to become clear.
This is a puzzle game rather a than a building game, though, so you’re placing bricks with a view to solving a situation rather than creating a house or anything like that. The gameplay starts off simple, with the player tapping and dragging with their mouse (or their finger, if you’re playing on a touch-screen device) to click bricks into place.

Buy the Nintendo Switch version from the Nintendo eShop (£17.99). Play the Apple Arcade version on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or iPod Touch (free trial available, and subscriptions from £4.99 a month). And once you’ve wrapped your head around how good the game looks, you should prepare yourself for some more surprises. You can witness these gorgeous visuals on pretty much any PC, or even a Mac, because the game is available on NVIDIA GeForce Now – a streaming service that can stream high-end gaming experiences onto a wide range of screens. The only thing that pulls you back from full immersion is the fact that the game takes place in an abstract world, where the horizon stretches on indefinitely and brick-built characters have personalities and lives. You might momentarily forget that you’re looking at computer-generated images rather than photographs of real bricks from the box in your loft. The graphics are so good that you can almost totally suspend your disbelief. With ray-tracing and DLSS enabled, the light cascades off the bricks with an astounding level of realism. Rather than looking cartoonish, the bricks here look like they really could be from your real-life collection. When we booted up LEGO Builder’s Journey on our PC, powered by NVIDIA’s RTX 3070Ti GPU, the first thing we noticed was the utterly gorgeous graphics.
