How long is Lego Horizon Adventures? It’s a fair question as you load up and ponder the breadth of the epic journey you’re about to embark on. Luckily, we’ve had a playthrough and therefore have some intel to share. You might have heard that this Lego adventure is a little shorter than the usual brick-based games. It may be four chapters, but there’s still plenty of levels. Of course, it does depend on how much of a completionist you are, but we’ve got a rough guide to that, too.

While there’s not hundreds of minikits and hidden brick collectibles to find, it does mean Lego Horizon Adventures is a lot more accessible for younger gamers, or those wanting a more linear story-focused adventure. So, how long is it? Let’s jump into how many hours you’ll be looking to spend.

How long to beat Lego Horizon Adventures?

The length of time it will take you to beat Lego Horizon Adventures will depend to a degree on your skill level and how much of a completionist you are, though don't expect there to be an epic journey ahead. While there aren't any Lego Horizon Adventures cheats available, the generous selection of accessibility options means you shouldn't get completely stuck at any point, and therefore a rough guide for its length is:

  • 6-8 hours for the main story and minimal side quests
  • 8-10 hours for a regular playthrough with some Community Jobs
  • 10-12 hours for 100% completion, all outfits, and a fully customized village

There are four chapters to play through, with each containing six story quests and opening up a new area of Mother's Heart, meaning a total of 24 levels to complete in total. Once you've beaten all of those to finish the story, you'll open up two new modes – The Apex Machine Hunts which are basically boss rush encounters, and Expeditions which creates random adventures to play through without storyline objectives. If you want to reach 100% completion then you'll need to clear all of the Community Jobs to earn the full set of Lego Horizon Adventures Gold Bricks, while playing through Expeditions and gathering up enough studs to purchase all of the Lego Horizon Adventures upgrades, unlock every outfit, and fully customize all building plots in Mother's Heart.
