Top 10 LEGO Games Ever Made

LEGO's foray into video games began nearly 31 years ago with LEGO Fun to Build on the SEGA Pico. Since then, games built around these iconic Danish bricks and minifigures have blossomed into their own genre, largely thanks to Traveler's Tales' addictive blend of action-platforming and the countless pop culture franchises they've LEGO-fied.

Narrowing down the best was a challenge, but we've compiled our Top 10 LEGO games of all time (so far!). Don't forget to check out the recently released LEGO Fortnite!
