has come a long way since its beginnings as a toy company. Since the company's founding back in 1932, it has become far more than the beloved building blocks that the world has grown up with. LEGO is now a major fixture in pop culture. From video games to merch, the legacy of LEGO has helped shape entertainment, and it has maintained a strong presence in gaming, too.

LEGO Horizon Adventures marked a collaboration between Sony and LEGO as a fresh take on the former's Horizon franchise. A LEGO-fied Aloy exploring a brick version of her post-apocalyptic world was a charming prospect, but the game unfortunately failed to draw in a lot of players. The game's poor performance could spell trouble for any future partnerships between the two companies, but it shouldn't. There are still plenty of great franchises that could fit perfectly into the LEGO mold.

Protagonist Nathan Drake is a highly skilled treasure hunter and thief who serves as Sony's own version of Indiana Jones. Despite the Indy influence, Uncharted holds its own strong identity that has made it a successful franchise. So far, there have been five central Uncharted games released for Sony's various consoles, and their blend of fun-loving action adventure storytelling and third-person shooter mechanics could make it a shoo-in for a LEGO series. Nathan's signature witty humor and ability to get himself into some outrageous situations would fit right in the world of LEGO.

Over the years, God of War has maintained its presence as one of Sony's most prized franchises. Kratos has seen some immense growth since the first game hit the scene in 2005, and the impressive amount of lore and characters to play around with would make a LEGO version of the story a lot of fun. Whether it's the wise-cracking Mimir from the Norse saga or the powerful Greek god Zeus, a LEGO God of War game could bring both realms together in a wacky story filled with Ancient gods and goofy humor.

This is a franchise that has been lying dormant for a long time. Although many fans of the franchise would rather see a full-blown sequel or reboot, Jak and Daxter could offer a lot of fun design opportunities when it comes to the game's world-building. With Jak being a silent protagonist, at least in the first game, it may be trickier to justify him as a lead in a LEGO project, but the jabbering ways of Daxter could help even out the silence, just as he does in the first entry. Jak and Daxter's legacy may not be as prevalent as the other franchises on the list, but it still remains a beloved series.

Ratchet & Clank

This dynamic duo remains one of Sony's most beloved mascots, and its colorful, action-packed world could bring something truly special to a LEGO title. The Ratchet & Clank franchise boasts a long list of mainline games and spin-offs, which gives LEGO a deep well of source material to pull from.

LEGO Horizon Adventures may have missed the mark, but it was a compelling way to make a Sony franchise feel fresh. Not every franchise can translate well into the LEGO world, and Horizon may have ultimately been too serious to properly work. However, there are still plenty of Sony properties deserving of the LEGO badge of honor.
