I adore anything LEGO related. As a kid I spent hours playing LEGO Rock Raiders and LEGO Football Mania. Later on I played countless of afternoons with a friend in LEGO Star Wars.
Recently I played LEGO Builder's Journey and it blew me away. It is the most realistic rendition in games of how it actually feels to play with LEGO bricks. It looks gorgeous and I really liked the chill vibe and cute story.
I've recently been enjoying LEGO Fortnite with my friends. Again, my inner child just becomes insanely happy once I can start building stuff and hear the clicks of the LEGO bricks joining together.
You know someone remade the rock raiders game? It's called Manic Miners.
And it's free. It's crazy that something like this exists and LEGO is fine with it.
Link to the game.
They're more than fine with it, the Bits N' Bricks podcast (part of LEGO Gaming) actually had Baraklava (the Manic Miners dev) on for an episode about the history of Rock Raiders which included a section on remakes, including Manic Miners, so they outright drew attention to it. Very cool people over there at the LEGO Group.
Nintendo take note
