5 Best LEGO Games, Ranked

by

LEGO started making video games in 1995 with the educational game LEGO Fun to Build for the Sega Pico. They followed this up with games like LEGO Island, and soon LEGO games were available on computers and consoles. With so many enjoyable LEGO titles available, we decided to pick the five best. We chose only one game per LEGO series and ranked them based on reviews from critics at the time, how popular they were with players, and sales numbers.

5) LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

Released in 2008, LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is a video game based on the first three Indiana Jones movies. The game features 84 characters from the films, each with unique abilities. It plays much like the earlier LEGO Star Wars games, offering a similar experience. To ensure it was suitable for all ages and could be sold in Germany, the game avoided any references to Nazis. This didn’t affect its popularity, and with its great graphics, gameplay, and sound, LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures remains a fantastic LEGO game that’s just as enjoyable now as it was when it first came out.

4) LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

LEGO first started making licensed products with Star Wars, and they’ve created much more than just building sets. The LEGO Star Wars video games are particularly well-regarded, and the best is arguably 2022’s LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. This game covers all nine Star Wars films in one package and features an incredible 380 playable characters, pulled from the movies, TV shows, and beyond. What’s unique about The Skywalker Saga is that it doesn’t follow a set order; just like the films, you can play the different trilogies in any sequence you choose. The game was a huge success, selling over 5 million copies in just three months.

3) LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

Although the original LEGO Batman game was great, LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes is considered even better, largely due to its compelling story. Similar to the first game, some of its cutscenes were even used in a feature film. The game teams up Batman, Superman, and Robin to foil the plans of the Joker and Lex Luthor, who is aiming to become President. They’re joined by the Justice League, and players can control 60 different characters, with 10 more available as downloadable content. LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes was a huge hit, selling millions of copies and establishing Batman as a cornerstone of LEGO gaming.

2) LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1–4

The LEGO Harry Potter games are divided into two sets, but many fans enjoy the games covering the first four books more than those based on the later ones. LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1–4 brings the first four books – Philosopher’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, and Goblet of Fire – to life, letting you play as any of the 167 characters featured in those stories. Like other LEGO games, it’s all about collecting and building, but with a magical twist! Spells and potions are key, and messing up a potion might even turn you into a frog – a surprisingly fun detail. LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1–4 was a hit when it came out, led to a sequel, and is still a really enjoyable way to experience the world of Harry Potter.

1) LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

As of today, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes stands out as the best game in the LEGO series. It uses the familiar gameplay found in other LEGO titles, and boasts a huge roster of 180 playable characters, with 25 more available as downloadable content. The story brings together Marvel’s heroes to battle the combined forces of Loki and Doctor Doom and their villainous armies. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes was a massive hit, becoming the best-selling LEGO game of all time. Beyond its sales figures, the game’s strong ties to the Marvel Universe, fun gameplay, and captivating story truly make it exceptional.
