I love Horizon. I love Lego. But I don't see the point in the game.

It's just not a big enough IP to make a standalone game. It would have worked better as single world in a Lego game that had multiple brands.

I have a few Lego games I got for free over the years and I can't get into any of them. Lego should create their own franchise of characters.

The series has sold like 50 million with only 2 games in the series. Horizon will continue to get games even if the Lego spinoff does bad.

Curious how many sales this will get on switch; this is a weird choice of IP for a Lego game but that definitely feels closer to the demographic

there was a big display for this (the switch version) at Costco today

Seems like a weird cross over. I can't see there being a big overlap of fans of Horizon and fans of Lego. That said, the game probably cost way less to make than Concord and essentially has no chance of becoming as big as a financial failure as Concord.

It's an odd choice for a Lego game, as the series itself is fairly serious. It's a Lego game though... I'm sure the budget is low enough that nobody is losing their job. Horizon as a franchise will go on just fine.

I've always found it weird how Sony is trying so HARD to make Horizon their "Super Mario" mascot game IP.

Like......did y'all forget you made HZD a console bundle game to inflate the numbers? Horizon isn't some cultural phenomenon sweeping the world, chill out lol.

While I'm sure Sony isn't happy about another loss, the game also probably had a fraction of the budget. This also strikes me as a game that sells better on console.

Here's me just hoping this encourages Lego to produce more horizon based sets. The new one they're releasing to coincide with this game is cool.

Wish they had more detail like the tall neck. But I'll take it!

Lot of people try to downplay the popularity of Horizon for one reason or another.

Horizon 1+2 has sold over 35 million copies. That's pretty comparible to God of War 2018 + Ragnarok (38 million) and The Last of Us 1 + 2 (40 million). Nobody acts like those other 2 aren't popular.

The Uncharted franchise has sold 45 million, and thats with way more games and a lot more years.

I'd say Horizon is doing pretty well.

I didn't even know this existed. The Lego games can be fun sometimes, but I only ever recall them doing super univerally renowned IPs like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman, Harry Potter, etc. This seemed like a bad idea from the start since I'm assuming the fanbase for Horizon is absolutely puny compared to the other IPs.

To be fair...it's not all that good IMO. I've played 7 hours of it and I've no intention of playing any further. 4 playable characters and not enough variety between them and you can't even switch between them at will when playing levels, a major and disappointing difference from other lego games. Then again, it wasn't made by TT Games. All it is is a kid-friendly retelling of the first game in lego form. They also could've worked on it a little longer to include HFW.

Sadly, a waste of $60, IMO.

Horizon Zero Dawn was the best-selling game during its release week in the United Kingdom.[112] It surpassed No Man's Sky as the biggest launch of a new intellectual property on the PlayStation 4 and was the most successful launch of any kind on the platform since Uncharted 4: A Thief's End,[113] as well as Guerrilla Games' biggest debut to date.[114] The game sold close to 117,000 units in its first week in Japan, becoming the second best-selling game that week.[115] Horizon Zero Dawn was the second most downloaded game on the North American PlayStation Store for February. Because its launch day occurred on the last day of February, only one day of sales was counted.[116] Within two weeks it sold 2.6 million units.[117][118]

It was the best-selling game in its week of release in Australia.[119] In March 2017, it was the second best-selling game in the UK and the highest-selling PlayStation 4 game.[120] Horizon Zero Dawn was also the best-selling game on PlayStation Store that month.[121] It was ranked number one in the UK sales chart in April 2017, while hitting eighth place in the Japanese chart.[122] By February 2019, over 10 million units had been sold, making it one of the best-selling PlayStation 4 games.[123]

In an effort to increase profitability, in 2020 Sony decided to begin porting their first-party titles to PC.[124] Horizon Zero Dawn released on PC in August 2020 and had a successful launch, moving over 700,000 digital units.[125] By March 2022, that number had increased to about 2.4 million units.[126]

In May 2023, it was announced on the official PlayStation blog that as of 16 April 2023, the game had sold over 24.3 million units.[127]

Yep just inflated console bundle numbers, yessirree.

Yeah, while this game might be bad, let's not suddenly pretend Horizon wasn't hugely popular.

Forbidden West even sold 8.4 million and showed no signs of slowing down, but they threw it on PS Plus so sales obviously dove off a cliff.

Every game won't be something you love. Lego is enjoyed by all ages. This game appeals to many people even if you refuse to think so. Horizon series has a huge fan base. Steam numbers aren't the whole picture.

I'm curious what the console sales were. I'm wondering just what kind of audience they think they'd have with this game, lol. I imagine it might sell best on Switch because, hey it's a LEGO game, but also it's based off of a Playstation IP.

I see so many people around the internet saying Horizon is not a very big series, but the first two games sold a crap ton of copies. Even when they were released next to Zelda and other heavy hitters.

This Lego game may not do well, but there is absolutely a market for this IP.

The story was the main thing that drew me in. The game presented this world where there are robotic fauna, but humanity has regressed down to primitive tribes.

I wanted to learn more about the world and figure out what happened to cause that. It was so fun slowly seeing the mystery unravel and all of the pieces fall into place. Easily my favorite story from last Gen.

I also loved the story of Forbidden West and seeing how the new mysteries unfolded. And I'm looking forward to the 3rd game, once that gets a release date.

And while the gameplay wasn't the main draw for me, I did have a lot of fun with it. In Forbidden West especially, with the increased event variety. Encountering new machines for the first time and learning the best way to tackle them in a fight was great.

Wasn't it bundled with PS5s during a timeframe when those fuckers were getting bought out near instantly?

Edit: Yes, and it came out less than half a year after the game came out.

Yes, but that doesn't explain how well it sold prior to that.

It also apparently sold very well on PC.
