LEGO Horizon Adventures

December 12, 2025 | Reading time: ~1 minute

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a Lego-fied soft remake of the original Horizon Zero Dawn game. I've only played a bit of that game (it's still in my backlog) but seeing as this game was a PS Plus freebie and I have a soft spot for the Lego games, I decided to give this one a try.

Bastion is one of the OG indie games, released way back in 2011 when the indie scene was really taking off. It's the first game from Supergiant, who went on to make Transistor and Hades, and those games share a lot of Bastion's DNA.

Another Gemmell book, another awesome siege. David Gemmell is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors - his writing is descriptive without being dense, fast-paced, and easy to read. Gemmell might do the best fantasy battle scenes and sieges of any fantasy author I've read. Fall of Kings is a...

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting.

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Another project I'm working on is my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, where I try to obtain one of each available Pokemon and transfer them into Pokemon Home.

Yet another project I'm working on is my Old School RuneScape "Completionist" Quest, where I'm attempting to max out all skills and see everything the game has to offer as a completely new player.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form review writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
