Every Lego Game You Need to Play Before You Die, Literally

1. LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy



Hitting all the right notes of nostalgia, it doesn’t get any better than LEGO’s take on the original Star Wars classics. Along with finding a lasting love, playing this game deserves the top spot on your life’s bucket list. If your bucket list was full of LEGO games to play.


2. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes



Between the game’s witty humor and the large open world to explore, this LEGO game excels at delivering sheer joy. Give into your crippling completionism and finish it before you shuffle off this mortal coil.


3. LEGO City Undercover



This bold departure for the series paid off. Even without a movie tie-in, its constant creativity and fun occupations make it one of the best Wii U exclusives. Play it now and avoid a lingering deathbed regret.


4. LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes



By expanding the world of Batman to 70 DC characters, including The Flash and Superman, this game becomes an essential enjoyment, well deserving of a slot above your other life goals.


5. LEGO The Lord of the Rings



Worth every penny to finally play as a LEGO Legolas. Lovers of dad jokes rejoice!


6. LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4



The hallowed halls of Hogwarts make a natural fit for LEGO's block-building mischief. It’s handily the greatest Harry Potter game. Why read another book before your death when you can live it in LEGO form?


7. LEGO Star Wars



The godfather of LEGO movie games still remains fun, despite its iffy source material like Attack of the Clones. Get another Star Wars fix before you cross the river Styx.


8. LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures



"I think it’s time to ask yourself: what do you believe in?" If it’s spending your life playing all the important LEGO adaptations, you’d be remiss to ignore Indy’s addictive adventures.


9. LEGO Batman: The Videogame



An infant’s laughter. The smell of fresh rain. They all pale in comparison to the digital delight of playing as the LEGO Dark Knight. Not as good as the sequel, but still a quintessential life experience when the grim reaper’s licking your heels.


10. LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7



Harry’s harrowing tribulations on the path to maturity mirror your own as you dig further into the Lego landscape. Will you complete your quest before Bellatrix beckons you to death’s door?


11. LEGO Rock Band



While initially greeted with skepticism, Lego Rock Band combines the heart and soul of both series. And seriously, you need to try Automatic Kick Drum at least once before you kick it.


12. LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game



You spent half your life watching the apparently ad-libbed adventures of Jack Sparrow. Now spend the other half of your cosmic endowment reliving his witty one-liners. Regret nothing, ever.


13. LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars



Surprisingly superior to its non-Lego cousins, this third LEGO outing in the Star Wars universe has an irresistible pull, like an Invisible Hand drawing you into its inner orbit. And yet, time marches inexorably forward.


14. LEGO The Hobbit



Everything is real. Suffering matters. Death is imminent. Meanwhile, Gandalf chats with Thorin Oakenshield at the Inn of the Prancing Pony about stealing Smaug’s jewel.


15. The LEGO Movie Video Game



You only have a few hours remaining in your life. Why not spend it with a video game based on a movie based on a video game based on a toy? Everything is awesome.
