Lego Horizon Adventures for Nintendo Switch and PS5 is on sale for a huge discount at just about every retailer. Released November 14 for Switch, PS5, and PC, Aloy's Lego-fied adventure is up for grabs for only $40 (was $60). Amazon currently has the Nintendo Switch and PS5 versions in stock, but it's worth noting Amazon's delivery window for the Switch edition stretches a couple days beyond Christmas. If you're buying this as a gift, just make sure to double-check shipping estimates before placing your order. Walmart and Best Buy will deliver the Nintendo Switch version of Horizon Adventures before Christmas. Horizon fans should also check out Amazon's deals on the new Horizon Forbidden West action figures:

Lego Horizon Adventures has performance and graphical fidelity modes to pick from on PS5. Regardless of which one you pick, Horizon Adventures will unsurprisingly look and run better on PS5 than Nintendo Switch. If you have both consoles, the PS5 version is the better choice--unless you want the portability of the Switch. Regardless of which you pick, though, this is the best-looking Lego game on either platform (and just in general).
It's a fun, lighthearted take on Guerrilla's Horizon franchise. No prior knowledge of the series is needed to enjoy it, as the story borrows from Zero Dawn and is self-contained. That said, the story is secondary to the action and exploration. It's a fun, if familiar, adventure for fans of licensed Lego games, especially if you play couch co-op with another player. It has a fairly short runtime of roughly six to 10 hours, but if you're looking for new game to play with your kids this holiday, this is a good way to introduce them to the franchise.

The Nintendo Switch version of Lego Horizon Adventures is well-optimized. It looks great on TV and in handheld mode at 30 frames per second. As mentioned above, it's obviously not as visually impressive on Switch as it is on PS5, but it's still a rather impressive experience, especially when compared to other Lego games on Switch.
The Switch version of Lego Horizon Adventures hasn't received enough critic reviews to get a Metascore on GameSpot's sister site Metacritic, but the PS5 version has a 70/100 average based on 100 reviews. It earned a 7/10 in GameSpot's Lego Horizon Adventures review.
