The Lego games aren’t just some of the best PS5 games for kids, but for players of all ages. These games mostly stick to adapting other media into Lego form and putting a comedic spin on the existing story. Each entry builds (pardon the pun) upon the last while staying true to what makes them so much fun. At this point, you can find Lego versions of superhero games, fantasy games, and even Lego versions of the best PS5 games. However, some stand above the rest in terms of quality. The best Lego games are great on their own or in co-op, but they also have plenty of content, variety, and fun gameplay. Don’t just grab a Lego game because it has your favorite franchise on the box before checking out our list of the best Lego games on PS5 to know if it is worth your time.
If you need more suggestions, there’s sure to be at least one upcoming PS5 game that catches your eye.

Lego Horizon Adventures is a shorter Lego game than most, but still full of charm and fun — especially in co-op. The combat is satisfying, the story moments are funny, and plenty of collectibles and things to upgrade and unlock. None of the puzzles are too difficult, which might be disappointing for older gamers but does make it a great way for kids to get into both Lego and Horizon.

Lego Bricktales slid under many people’s radars when it came out, despite how creative it is. Despite how obvious it is, only Lego Bricktales attempts to fully replicate the feeling of playing with a Lego set. You will be given various tasks on different dioramas and given complete freedom to come up with your own solution based on how creative you can get with the bricks you have at your disposal. There’s no “right” or “wrong” way to do anything, and the game doesn’t guide you to any solutions. Each set has a different theme and even a charming little story to keep you invested.

There used to be a ton of old Lego racing games, but not many until Lego 2K Drive came out and reminded us how perfect of a combination those two were. 2K drive is an open-world racing game where you’re free to explore the world of Bricklanida with a full story, mini-games, challenges, and bricks to collect. The best part, of course, is building your very own racer to take into the race. And you aren’t just limited to cars, either. Vehicles can transform based on the terrain, such as turning into a boat to cross water.

While there were Lego games before it took on the Star Wars franchise, it wasn’t until the first Lego Star Wars that most people noticed the franchise. Prior to the first game’s release in 2005, there had only been a handful of licensed Lego games, all of which were expansions for Lego Creator. Lego Star Wars, and in the following year, Lego Star Wars II, changed the course for the Lego brand, ushering in an era of quirky licensed video games. The Skywalker Saga, which launched after all the mainline films were released, includes both games remade, plus the new trilogy. That means you’ll have access to every single Episode, one through nine. This is by far the biggest, most ambitious Lego game of all time. The scope is galaxy-wide, the gameplay is tighter and more fun than ever, and the humor is as on point and family-friendly as possible.

If you apply the same concept from The Skywalker Saga and apply it to the Harry Potter games, you have an idea of what to expect here. The Lego Harry Potter Collection encompasses the entirety of Years 1-7 — all remastered to shine as bright as possible on the PS5. It might be a bit rough around the edges from a gameplay perspective, but there aren’t many other games out there that give you this much Potter content in one place. Learn new spells, craft powerful potions, and endure tedious potion classes as Harry, Ron, and Hermione work their way through Hogwarts while also trying to stop the most powerful wizard in history. Best of all, the game lets you take a companion along for the ride with two-player co-op.

It isn’t just the licensed Lego games you need to pay attention to. If you’re looking for some open-world fun, Lego City Undercover is hard to beat. While it lacks the mature story and over-the-top violence of GTA 5, this family-friendly game still manages to keep things entertaining with a sprawling open world packed full of vehicles, collectibles, and clumsy car thieves. Unlike most Lego games, City Undercover only allows two players to join in on the action. However, it makes up for that low player count with some of the most frantic action you’ll ever see in a Lego video game. It also comes with a healthy dose of typical Lego humor, including quirky movie references and off-the-wall character names such as Chase McCain and Rex Fury.

Unlike any of the other Lego games we’ve featured, Lego Builder’s Journey isn’t an action-adventure title or one that adapts a film but a puzzle game. You will interact with small, incredibly realistic Lego environments with a goal of creating a path for your little character. The game features an incredibly calming soundtrack, and many of the puzzles allow you to take them at your own pace. Each new chapter features a new mechanic or trick to learn so you’re always challenged to think critically about how best to use the pieces available to reach the end. While the story mode can be beaten fairly quickly, there’s also the creative mode that lets you build your own custom sets.
