Strange to think that in 2003, Lego was on the verge of bankruptcy. Now in 2021, the brand seems to be everywhere, having expanded beyond toys for kids, to specialist kits for all ages, TV and movie themed sets, Lego movies in their own right, and a series of popular video games.

Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's good, though. Of the 69 Lego games released since 1995, there have been some real turkeys. And if a video game isn't enjoyable to play, not even the trademark Lego wit can save it from feeling like a waste of time and money.

So if you're new to Lego games, you'd do well to check out our selection of the best Lego games to date below. Not only are they packed with mirth and enjoyment, but they're also 'proper' games that will provide you with hours of engaging, challenging fun to boot.
