Lego Voyagers provides a simple approach to cooperative platformer games, but it adds its own Lego-themed flavor by focusing on two cute characters: a red brick and a blue brick. The game is quick and easy to start, with intuitive controls, but it takes most of its five-hour gameplay to learn all the tools needed to reach your rocket.
Although the main idea involves building your way across the game using Lego blocks, you’re given little guidance at the beginning of your Lego adventure. To help you out, here are some useful tips for starting in Lego Voyagers.
### Use the Attach Ability Freely
The most important mechanic in the game is that you are a Lego brick that can connect to different pieces in the environment. Attaching yourself to various bricks speeds up puzzle solving and testing solutions. Press B or Circle to attach to another brick—be it the ground, a buildable block, or your co-op partner. This button helps you try different interactions and can lead to successful outcomes in puzzles.
A handy tip is to use the attach button when jumping from one ledge to another. Attaching to a brick can make your jump more secure, especially if there’s something to latch onto nearby.
### Rotate Your Brick Pieces
When building, don’t forget to rotate your Lego pieces by pressing Y or Triangle. Rotating pieces allows you to fit into tight spaces or stretch your creations to form bridges. This saves time and gives you more control when customizing vehicles or structures.
### Recognize When Collaboration Is Needed
If you’re stuck in a certain part, it probably means you need to work together. Many puzzles require one brick to hold or operate a switch while the other jumps across panels or fans. While early sections can often be completed solo, later stages demand careful teamwork, especially during a mini-game involving rocket landings that needs precise coordination.
### Bricks Can Substitute for You
Sometimes, you might need to replace your character with a brick to help progress. You can grab a brick and place a handle or support to help move other bricks or cross gaps more efficiently. This method allows two bricks to work together in sections designed for a single character, enabling smoother progress.
### Speed Is Important When Building
When constructing, quick action is vital. Once you attach a brick to another, you have only a limited time to lock the pieces together before they disconnect. Move fast to keep your builds stable and to continue building efficiently.
### Understand Your Bricks
Using bricks creatively can help you climb by stacking, cross gaps by building bridges, customize rockets, or weigh down certain segments. Keep these options in mind, as many puzzles can be solved in multiple ways by combining these techniques in inventive ways.
### Put Your Platforming Skills to Work
Jumping and climbing are crucial for navigating the terrain. Walking alone won’t get you very far; expect to jump, climb, and shimmy through tight or awkward spots. Embracing these challenges early on will expand your puzzle-solving options and make exploration more fun.
### Look for Designated Jobs
Throughout the game, you’ll notice red and blue markings next to interactable objects. These indicate which brick should activate or operate the mechanism. Using the wrong brick usually results in a loud beeping sound or no function at all, so pay attention to the color cues to progress smoothly.
### Don’t Be Afraid to Improvise
There’s no single best way to build in Lego Voyagers. Whenever you see an opportunity to cross a gap or climb a cliff, use your imagination. You’re free to create messily or neatly—whatever works as long as it fits within the constraints. Experimenting with different solutions often leads to creative and effective results.
### Cheese Some Puzzles
While the game doesn’t specify how you should approach puzzles, playing cooperatively suggests that solo play might sometimes use “cheesy” tactics. For example, in later, more challenging sections—like the rocket training—letting one person control both characters using two controllers can make tricky puzzles easier to complete. Though unconventional, this method can be a lifesaver when you’re stuck.
Seizing opportunities to improvise, working together on puzzles, and building efficiently are all key strategies in Lego Voyagers. The game encourages creative problem-solving and offers plenty of freedom to explore different solutions.
