LEGO Bionicle on the GBA is one of those weird little gems that somehow makes blocky robots feel epic. You start off as one of the Toa—basically elemental warriors—and immediately get thrown into this island full of puzzles, enemies, and that classic LEGO charm. The combat’s simple but satisfying, and figuring out how to use each Toa’s abilities (like Gali’s swimming or Tahu’s fire attacks) actually matters.

It’s not just mindless action, though. You’ll be pushing boulders, flipping switches, and backtracking once you unlock new powers—kinda like a lightweight Metroidvania but with more plastic. The sprite work holds up surprisingly well, and the music? Absolute nostalgia bomb. If you ever had Bionicle sets as a kid, this feels like playing inside one of those old promo CDs they packed in.

Fair warning: some of the platforming can be janky, and the camera doesn’t always help. But there’s something weirdly addictive about smashing Rahi beasts with a giant sword while collecting Kanoka disks. It’s a solid pick if you’re into retro action-adventure games that don’t take themselves too seriously.
