There’s a delightful story circulating around the internet about a gaming grandma who’s been playing LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues for more than ten years. Originally launched back in 2009, this game was a big deal as it marked a new era by skipping the PlayStation 2 and making its debut solely on PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii. It built on the solid foundation of its predecessor, LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, and followed in the footsteps of the well-loved LEGO Star Wars games. Gamers would navigate through levels mirroring the Indiana Jones movies, all styled with that signature LEGO humor and plenty of slapstick moments. Despite receiving mixed reviews back then, it clearly found a special place in the heart of one dedicated gamer.
The tale of this committed gamer, captured in a TikTok video by user jaxgibson, has touched many. With over 118,000 likes so far, the video shows his grandmother who originally bought LEGO Indiana Jones 2 to enjoy with him when he was younger. However, she has continued her virtual journey long after, accumulating an impressive 1.2 billion LEGO studs on the PS3. Her passion for this game, which she openly expresses love for, has struck a chord with many viewers.
The comments section of this viral TikTok is filled with heaps of admiration and requests for similar games that jaxgibson’s grandma might enjoy. Since the release of LEGO Indiana Jones 2, Traveller’s Tales has crafted many more LEGO adventures, spanning familiar universes like Harry Potter, Marvel, and DC. The diversity extends to games like LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean and LEGO Dimensions, a toys-to-life experiment. Most recently, the franchise returned with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga in 2022, a title that was eagerly anticipated but unfortunately plagued by technical hitches—a fact that left many fans hoping for smoother future releases.
While Traveller’s Tales has remained tight-lipped about their next big project, rumors suggest a few might have been shelved. Meanwhile, some ventures outside their usual realm, such as LEGO 2K Drive and LEGO Horizon Adventures, have not resonated quite as strongly with fans. Nonetheless, the appeal of building and exploring with LEGO bricks in the gaming world continues to thrive, pointing to a promising future for interactive LEGO experiences.
