I'm sick and tired of adorable two-player games like LEGO Voyagers letting you play together using just one purchased copy of the game

I sure hope you don't think I'm serious about being mad that two people can play with only one purchased game with a Friend's Pass.

LEGO Voyagers isn't about to let Josef Fares and his Split Fiction have all the two-player co-op fun this year. As a one-eyed red or blue LEGO block, you and a buddy are on a mission to rescue an abandoned spaceship—wordlessly learning the value of friendship and play along the way. 

Well, the blocks may be wordless. You and Player 2 will probably have to talk a little. Unless you're on a psychic nonverbal level with your friend and can negotiate these poetic brick environments without saying a word. In which case: Congratulations on finding your soul mate! Lucky!

With LEGO Voyagers' Friend's Pass, only one of you has to purchase a copy of the game in order for both of you to play. I don't think that locks you in with just one person for life. Then again, I'm uncertain if I could just take my copy and go down the roster of everyone here at Gaming Nexus, playing with all of them, one at a time.

Just look at these wonderful environments. Gleeful miniature constructions, they are. And I love how you tumble around and snap some more useful pieces onto yourself, like a blocky Katamari Damacy. Lite puzzles populate the rather Minecraft-looking stages (which is fine, I mean, remember which came first: the chicken or the egg?)

(I'm realizing that riddle doesn't help.)

Go airborne, go watercrafting, build and climb stairs, drive along roads and rail. Eventually maybe even Kerbal your way into space.

LEGO Voyagers is coming soon from Light Brick Studio to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
