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. Players must thwart an escaped convict determined to destroy LEGO Island, brick by brick. The diverse character classes and surprisingly open world design offer an engaging and enjoyable experience. It might be difficult to find now, but it’s a worthwhile retro trip.
Uniquely, LEGO The Lord of the Rings uses actual audio from the films. This surprisingly works, creating a hilariously absurd yet respectful adaptation. The inclusion of book characters like Tom Bombadil, along with Easter eggs (like an Assassin's Creed-style hay bale fall), and the typical LEGO gameplay elements, make this a memorable entry.
