If you are a fan of LEGO but you don't want to run the risk of stepping on one of those notoriously unforgiving bricks in the middle of the night, you could always play with LEGO virtually with your Nintendo Switch. There are more than a few LEGO Switch games available and they usually allow for two-player co-op, so you can share the experience with a buddy. Whether you're running through a familiar franchise that's been brought to brick form or you're looking for a brand new LEGO experience on Switch, we've got you covered.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
A long long time ago, we got LEGO Star Wars on Wii and 3DS, but now these stories are being completely remade in a new game that includes all nine movies from the Skywalker Saga. That means you can relive the Clone Wars with Obi-Wan and Anakin, take on the emperor and Darth Vader with Luke, Leia, and Han, or jump into the latest trilogy with Rey, Finn, and Poe. This silly interpretation of the Star Wars movies is fun for people of all ages making it one of the best Nintendo Switch games out there.

LEGO Worlds
If you're a fan of LEGO video games but you would like to do something a little different, then you might want to consider LEGO Worlds. Released on the Nintendo Switch in September of 2017, LEGO Worlds is an open-world procedurally generated title where exploration and building is the name of the game. This title bears the influence of Minecraftian popularity in a mostly positive way. Get out into LEGO Worlds and construct a world that you don't have enough LEGO brick to build in real life.

LEGO City Undercover
LEGO City Undercover was originally released on the Wii U in 2013 and made its way to the Switch in early 2017. The most economical way of describing LEGO City Undercover is to say that it's like playing a Grand Theft Auto title, but you play as a cop instead of a criminal, and everything is made of LEGO. As we have come to expect from LEGO properties in recent years, LEGO City Undercover is chock full of hilarious writing that will keep you engaged with the title all the way through.

Aside from the main storyline, the game also features a four-player battle mode so you can enjoy the action with your friends.

Turns out that a fake group of villains from another universe is trying to pass themselves off as the Justice League, so it's up to The Joker, Harley Quinn, and other DC baddies to step up and become the world's reluctant protectors. The Joker is even voiced by the one and only Mark Hamill and he gives a stellar performance as always. You start the game off by creating your own custom super villain and can adopt various powers as you play through the story.

Brick by brick fun
LEGO Switch games have a very unique way of retelling familiar stories. You can't help but laugh when they play into their toy nature and allow you to build things in-game to help you solve puzzles. If you're only going to get one LEGO game, I highly recommend you make it LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. This is a large game that features the tale from all nine films. You can play on your own or with a friend in local co-op.
Another amazing option is Marvel Super Heroes. You can dive down from the Helicarrier down to the massive city below. It will give you quite a rush. Then there are dozens of Marvel heroes and villains to unlock. They're separated into different classes and specific skills are needed to move past certain puzzles.
Finally, If you want something completely new that doesn't follow any existing franchises, you should check out LEGO Worlds. There is so much to do and explore as you make your way through this procedurally generated game. You can literally spend hundreds of hours and still make new discoveries.
