Development and release

The game, originally developed under the title Lego Arthouse, has been described by Lego as "... a narrative journey about play itself, touching deeply on the belief of we only get old because we stop playing. Targeted at a more mature audience, it is an expression of the value of creativity in a coming of age story, set amongst a micro Lego world heavily inspired by our AFOL community."[9] It was the first game developed by Light Brick Studio, Lego Group's own internal video game development studio.[10][11][12]

Lego Builder's Journey received "generally favorable" reviews upon release according to review aggregator Metacritic, the IOS version had 80/100,[13] the PC version had 79/100,[14] the Nintendo Switch version had 76/100[17] and the PlayStation 5 version had 77/100.[18][26]

Kate Gray for Nintendo Life gave the game a 7/10 and commented, "Getting back in touch with the pre-manual-following version of yourself is a delight, and having the story be about a parent and a child connecting through child's play is as touching as it is smart. Despite occasional misfires and what can feel like padding, this is a LEGO game which plays with the fundamental philosophy of creativity far more than the average LEGO-branded title, and we hope this is an indication of new games to come."[6]

Alistair Jones for PC Gamer gave the game a 79/100 and commented, "A lifelike and heartfelt celebration of a beloved toy that overreaches in later levels."[22]

Chad Sapieha for Common Sense Media gave the game a four out of five star rating and commented, "This one snag aside, Lego Builder's Journey is a short but beautiful little puzzler that captures the spirit of the iconic toy on which it's founded almost perfectly."[27]

Screen Rant gave the game a 4/5 and stated, "Lego Builder's Journey is an absolute delight overall. With wonderful design choices and a truly calming atmosphere, it's a moment of relaxation that puzzle fans will enjoy. Its simplicity may be a doubled-edge sword at times, but this is exactly the right kind of game for players who want to turn on and switch off."[28]
