Lego Horizon Adventures

LEGO Horizon Adventures is the freshest family co-op addition to PS Plus in the last eighteen months, and it shows in the presentation. The game borrows Horizon's world and rebuilds it in LEGO brick form, which sounds like it should not work but actually lands with both kids who have no context for the source material and adults who do. Two players locally, shared-screen, immediately accessible. The reason it did not crack the main list is the same reason most two-player-only family games sit just outside: this list needed to represent broader group sizes, and Sackboy fills the family-friendly slot with more flexibility.

If you have spent time with Horizon Forbidden West you will find something quietly charming about watching that world get rebuilt in LEGO bricks. The co-op is standard LEGO game fare: light action, forgiving failure states, no real way to fall too far behind. It missed the main list because the co-op design doesn't do anything particularly inventive with two players, but the accessibility and PS5 polish are strong, and for mixed-skill couples who want something gentle with recognisable PlayStation characters, it's a reasonable pick. Think of it as a lighter alternative to Sackboy rather than a replacement for anything higher up.
