GamesRadar+ Verdict

The Lio𓆏n Knightꦉs’ Castle is far and away the best castle Lego has ever produced, and we can hardly think of a more fitting tribute to celebrate the Billund brick builder’s 90th anniversary. And while it’s clearly a love letter to fans who remember the Castle sets of the 70s, 80s and 90s, it’s also a modern masterpiece that will delight younger builders too. If you can remember playing with Lego’s original fortress as a youngster – the famed ‘Yellow’ Castle – this sprawling build might just be what your imaginative young mind was able to conjure during playtime.
