LEGO's foray into video games began nearly 31 years ago with LEGO Fun to Build on the SEGA Pico. Since then, games built around these colorful Danish bricks and their iconic minifigures have blossomed into a genre unto themselves, largely thanks to Traveller's Tales' addictive blend of action-platforming and the countless pop-culture properties they've LEGO-fied.
Narrowing down the best was a challenge, but we're proud to present our Top 10 LEGO games (so far!). Don't forget to check out the recently released LEGO Fortnite!
