All rare gadgets in Lego Horizon Adventures and what they do

A Thunderjaw roars in Lego Horizon Adventures.

Reliving Aloy's first adventure in Lego Horizon Adventures is a streamlined but faithful retelling of the first game. However, instead of the massive open-world experiences that made the Horizon series some of the best PS5 games, this entry changes the formula to fall more in line with the best Lego games. It is a much smaller game compared to those, with way fewer collectibles. This makes it much easier to play in co-op, but it isn't without a few things you can gather up. Rare gadgets are pieces of equipment you can wear to enhance or add new abilities. Here are all the rare gadgets in the game and what cool effects they have.
Every rare gadget in Lego Horizon Adventures

Lego Horizon Adventures only has 10 rare gadgets in total that you will unlock as you progress through the story. They each serve a unique purpose and are worth experimenting with as you attempt to clean up any remaining Trophies.

On Monday morning, Geoff Keighley revealed the nominees for this year’s Game Awards. The list honored many of this year’s biggest games, from Astro Bot to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. For anyone who has been following video games closely in 2024, it’s a predictable list that’s heavy on well-received big-budget games and one key indie breakthrough.

Of course, not everyone is happy.

As is the case every year, it’s a hodgepodge of deserving nominees, disappointing omissions, and downright weird picks. Let’s break down the biggest takeaways from this year’s list, from the surprises to the “snubs.”

Keeping track of every new video game release is a nearly impossible task. Games are constantly being announced, delayed, rereleased on new platforms, remastered, canceled — you get the point. With the upcoming games lineup constantly shifting on PC, Switch, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and mobile, it can be hard to find games to look forward to playing (and to budget for) in the coming months.
Despite the herculean task of tracking an entire year of video game release dates, we're giving it our best shot. Check out this month-by-month schedule of new video game releases. We're focusing mainly on highly anticipated titles with concrete release dates, but will also include little-known indies and keep an eye on launch plans for up-in-the-air titles like Grand Theft Auto 6 or games that are still very early on in development like Hogwarts Legacy 2 or The Last of Us Part 3. If you're looking to get a quick glance at the future of video games, this is the place. We'll keep this list updated and as accurate as possible at regular intervals.
2025 release dates

Now that 2025 is here, the early months are already filling up with pretty impressive game releases. We'll be sure to note games that have expected or rumored release windows alongside games with solid launch plans.
