Just played some Lego Horizon co-op with my wife. It's very pretty but they won't shut up. So many cut scenes, so much talking. (Would be better if Stephen Fry was the narrator, seems perfect for the material)

Beggers can't be choosers when it comes to co-op games nowadays. Maybe it gets more gameplay later on, we finished chapter 1 so far.

Sooooooo like every major Sony first party game?  

Exactly. It does follow the story of HZD pretty well.

We played chapter 2 today, upped the difficulty. It does get a bit better, bit less talking, bit more action.

It's all so by the numbers though. Formulaic, repetitive game design. Why spend so much time and effort on costumes, customizing the home area, mission board with nonsense. And every level is the same pattern, aimless walk with the same 'secrets' every time, battle arena, repeat x 3, end fight, collect brick, back to home area.

It's cool to see all the machines in Lego, yet if you're not into Horizon games, this Lego version isn't going to persuade anyone to get into them. This ain't no Astrobot.
