10. LEGO Island

No LEGO game list is complete without the 1997 PC classic, LEGO Island. Despite its age and comparatively simple graphics, it remains a fun and nostalgic adventure. Stop a convict from destroying LEGO Island, brick by brick, navigating its surprisingly open world and diverse character classes. Finding it might be a challenge, but the journey to LEGO Island is well worth the effort (just beware the Brickster!).

9. LEGO The Lord of the Rings

Uniquely, LEGO The Lord of the Rings uses actual audio from the films. This surprisingly effective approach adds a humorous twist to iconic scenes. The game boasts a large roster, including book characters absent from the films (like Tom Bombadil), engaging puzzles, and action-packed gameplay, making it a compelling LEGO adventure.

8. LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

This game masterfully adapts the Indiana Jones films into a family-friendly LEGO experience. It retains the spirit of the originals while adding a playful spin. Gameplay improvements over earlier LEGO Star Wars titles emphasize puzzle-solving and exploration, making it a fun co-op experience that remains remarkably enjoyable even today.

7. LEGO DC Super-Villains

A unique entry, LEGO DC Super-Villains lets players experience the DC universe from the villains' perspective. The game successfully portrays these characters in an endearing and kid-friendly manner, showcasing the adaptability of the LEGO game formula. The inclusion of custom character creation enhances the creative play aspect.

6. LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

The first LEGO game with an open world (Gotham City!), LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes remains charming. While later open worlds might be superior, the LEGO rendition of Gotham is undeniably appealing. It surpasses its predecessor in nearly every aspect, offering a vast roster of DC characters and a wealth of collectibles.

5. LEGO Harry Potter

The LEGO Harry Potter games (Years 1-4 and Years 5-7) faithfully recreate the magical world. Players explore Hogwarts, traverse secret passages, fly on broomsticks, and play Quidditch. The detailed environments, rewarding exploration, and classic LEGO gameplay make it a standout title.

4. LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga

A pioneering LEGO game, LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga (combining the original trilogy and prequels) set a high bar for the genre. Its blend of puzzle-solving, collectibles, and humor established the formula for future successes. This game's impact on the LEGO gaming landscape is undeniable.

3. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

A complete overhaul of the LEGO Star Wars formula, The Skywalker Saga features improved combat, camera work, and an expansive overworld. It includes content from all nine Skywalker Saga films, along with references to spin-offs and TV shows. Its depth and action make it a top-tier LEGO experience.
