The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame

This LEGO game is pretty amusing but just not as polished as the other games.
I got stuck in the scenery quite often when exploring and that sucks!
Graphics are good, sound is also decent, game play wise this should be fun but the getting stuck in the scenery situation should not be in a game like this.
They had a pretty simple job in making this fun to play for a lot of people but they really fucked it up this time as i got stuck in two spots in less then an hour playing.
And that is very bad!
If i would rate this then i would just give this a 5.5 out of 10 points.
And that is just because of the game breaking bugs and glitches when you are really exploring the maps.
Sorry but this is unacceptable!
Would i however recommend this somewhat broken instalment of the LEGO movie?
Barely. Yes i would recommend this one but only if it is dead cheap.
Somewhat recommended!

I'm torn about how I feel about this. On one hand, this game shakes up the Lego game formula and manages to keep the game fun to play, making it feel like a breath of fresh air in the series. On the other hand, even suggesting that this game's story followed the movie should be considered a crime.

This game did not follow the formula that the other Lego games follow. This concerned me a bit at first, but I came to actually enjoy it as I got further into the game. Each level is essentially a mini open-world with a very simple quest line to follow, with a tiny bit of exploration being required in order to complete the level. You are encouraged to explore each level and aren't stuck following a strict level design in order to progress, which I guess makes it similar to Mario Odyssey. There are also several optional levels that can be entered and explored for more to see and do if you choose to find the collectibles and unlock more content. You can unlock new characters, items, etc at any time with the lootbox system and I didn't really have any issue with it. All of that made this game feel like an experiment before they went all in with it for Lego Worlds. I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed the game considering I didn't really care for the movie at all and I found the game for the first movie to be really boring.

However, this game certainly had its flaws. The biggest one was the "story" felt like a joke and gave the impression that the entire game was built and the team only found out it was supposed to be based on an existing movie in like the last month of development. There's like 6 levels for the main story (half of them might have just been based on nothing from the movie, but idk I haven't seen it in a while), the game can be beaten in less than 4 hours, and a big, important part of the story from the movie was just thrown in as a voice over in the final cutscene after beating the final level for some reason. Building certain objects in levels was replaced in this game with a sort of "free build" system where you could build any object you have the plans for anywhere as long as you have enough bricks. You will literally never run out of bricks once you finish the tutorial and every build puzzle was just needing to decide if you needed to place a generator, bounce pad, or sprinkler. The platforming was also reduced to just pressing one button and automatically jumping to the next platform, requiring no thought.

Not a bad game but definitely based extremely loosely on the movie to the point that they might as well have created an original story. Different style from the other lego games but still fun, if a bit simplistic. Went heavy into optional content while sacrificing required content, making the game extremely short but having a ton to do if desired.

Open world quest finding, Its Different, and i like it!
plays well in split screen, much better camera than the previous one

This game is not the best retelling of the movie's plot at all. Instead of playing through the movie scenes via levels like in the first game, this is just a bunch of fetch quests within the movie's semi-open worlds while the actual story is just narrated to you the whole time, which of course gets boring and repetitive very fast (not to mention they also edited the story itself a little bit, most likely to incorporate Co-op multiplayer).
That being said, I still did have some fun with it, simply by just playing as my favorite character (Unikitty <3), fighting enemies, albeit very few of them, exploring the worlds and being able to build your own, Lego Worlds style.
Is it the best Lego game? God no. It is the worst? Also no, more like a "it's just ok" kind of game.
If you loved the Lego movies, only get this game if it's on sale (as of August 25, 2025, it is, alongside the first movie's game which is a WAYYYYY better deal).

I don't understand the hate this game is getting. Is it the best Lego game? No. Is it the worst Lego game? Also no. I like that they switched up the standard Lego game formula and made it different than their other games. I will admit that it does kinda feel weird that they went a different direction compared to the prequel and it does feel strange that there isn't any dialogue between the cast or barely any "challenging" puzzles like the previous game. I still enjoyed my time. Buy it on sale.

Okay game but its less LEGO movie too and more LEGO worlds beta...

A game loosely based on the Lego Movie 2. Early Lego games has missions and free play where You could play the missions with any figurines You unlocked. Later games added open world with some collectibles and errands. This game only has the open world, no missions or free play, in which the plot takes place. Finishing the main story before exploring saves a lot of time... and leave the buildings You have to rebuild for last.
