There are few people out there who would deny having nostalgic memories of Lego. The technical building blocks were a joy for many of our childhoods, and now if you want to introduce your own kids to the wonder of Lego you can do so easily with Heartlake Rush as it rushes (pun intended) to Apple Arcade.
Lego Heartlake Rush+ is an endless runner in the vein of something like Subway Surfers, where you hop into a variety of vehicles as one of the Lego Friends characters to dodge obstacles and collect goodies. As you might expect, cars can be customised although you won't be building any from scratch as you might in other Lego releases.
One other feature that Lego Heartlake Rush+ touts is its lack of third-party advertising and age-appropriate nature. For you parents out there I'm sure these are welcome, especially given Lego has always prided itself on being family-friendly. It even posits that it can help kids develop healthy digital habits at a young age.
Heartlake Rush is, unsurprisingly, obviously a promotional release for Lego. For parents, I'm sure that it'll be an obvious pick to give their kids to keep them occupied. But for the rest of u,s I can't see all that much you'll get from what is a relatively safe, standard take on the endless runner genre.
By that same metric though, it's worth reiterating that Heartlake Rush is very firmly aimed at kids. So for parents out there,e I'm sure the fact they put it being age-appropriate and educational (as well as fun) first and foremost will be welcome.
