The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame

This one? Kinda mid, not gonna lie.

The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame looks colorful, feels different… but plays way more like a sandbox builder than a classic LEGO game. And that’s not always a good thing.

Movie vibe? There.
Classic LEGO feeling? Kinda lost.

Instead of the usual level-based LEGO formula, this one goes more into collecting bricks and building stuff everywhere. It’s more open, more experimental – but also less focused and less satisfying.

It’s not terrible.
It just doesn’t hit like the older LEGO titles.

✅ Colorful worlds and solid movie atmosphere
✅ More freedom with building mechanics
✅ Easy to pick up

❌ Feels less like a classic LEGO game
❌ Missions lack structure
❌ Gameplay can feel shallow
❌ Gets repetitive fast

Final verdict:
5.5/10 – Tries something new, but loses the classic LEGO magic.

5/10
I brought this game from the humble lego bundle, so I would say i got mines money worth. That being I wouldn't buy this game full priced. The $30 price tag doesn't even match with the first games $20, this game feels shorter. However, I did have fun with this game if this game was an early 2000 kids game it would alot better. Definitely not the best Lego game, that being said it is more of fetch quest type of game. So if you want something to play while watching a tv show or with a podcast in the background then this game will work well for you. I will say I loved the scanner gun mechanic where you mostly scan items and they get added to your catalog to make yourself if wanted. I liked being to play as anyone outside of a few side missions. Loved the open world concept even if its bare boned. It planet was different with its own theme, I will say the sorting planet was my least by the time you get there your a bit burned out, so I recommend not playing for long periods. A fun plus is that the player has the ability to build basically anywhere and they give you a whole planet to build and customized to your desire. Worked wonderfully on the steam deck no frame skips or need to change controls. Achievement wise its super easy basically a collectable task. Apparently there is split screen so if you
Now for the bad from someone who hasn't watch the movies, I dont know if im missing something, but the plot itself is not there. The intro menu scene is nonskipable and its like almost a minute each time. The fighting is annoying that the players dont touch alot of times, so its better to butt pound the ground instead. The Lucy narration is weird like it doesn't add to the plot. The tutorials are just little clips showing you what to do but they hang around a bit too long. No funny dialogue and the vehicles are crazy slow

I'll say this - I don't understand why the rating is so low. I assume it's because people are not used to the Lego Worlds formula and it's too much of a shock for them, that these mechanics (which are far more refined than Lego Worlds) are put in in an actual Lego brand videogame.
It's really not bad - it's the same collectathon as with any other Lego game. Instead of getting characters with different abilities, you get tools that can help you unlock new puzzles, locations etc. I treated it like a metroidvania at some point because of this. There are side quests that are third fetch quests, third races and the final third is misc. things like photographs, certain object building, sticker shooting etc.
Maybe it's because to get all of the usable things you have to open relics? I thought that it was fine, considering you can really easily farm up studs, get the cheapest relic, get duplicates, get mega relic shards and then open those for more stuff. The process was really simple to get everything needed (there's also goldtropolis iykyk).
Maybe i'm just a contrarian by nature, but what I see is that Lego Worlds walked so this game could run and this is exactly what was lacking from Worlds for me - a comprehensive narrative, coupled with (most) tools from Worlds, woven into a nice semi-sandbox type experience. Also infinitely better than Lego Movie 1, but since I haven't seen the 2nd part, couldn't tell ya how faithful it is story wise.

I will say, no lego game deserves less than a B tier. And this is no exception. although the reviews are mixed, and this is one of the weaker lego games I have played, I had a blast either way. short enough to 100% all achievements in less than 10 hours. I didn't like lego worlds, but I did enjoy this game. I don't know what else to say. I can recommend this game to any lego fan out there.

Fun sandbox that doesn't play like any of the other Lego games. There aren't traditional levels but instead different worlds that you explore for collectibles & missions. It's a great game if you want to put some music on and switch your brain off.

Took 14 hours to 100% it and I found it quite enjoyable.

its nothing like the movie and the ending was sudden and anti-climatic but it was a very refreshing and unique take on the lego game formula

third playthrough, amazing as always, i use to be obsessed with the lego movie when i was younger and when this game came out, i was obsessed. maybe soon i will try to get 100% on steam but on ps4 both lego movies games are 100% done.
