Even though I enjoyed the actual racing and especially the story campaign in Lego 2K Drive, but for me a player who loves to play online this game gives me pause. I don’t get a lot of time to spend on games between reviewing them, my kids and just life overall. So, sitting down to play and seeing my opponents all have super tricked out rides; I just know I am in for a loss. I don’t have an issue with microtransactions in games, but I do have an issue when players can just purchase power making it unfair for those who can’t or just won’t. If you plan on strictly playing Lego 2K Drive single player, there is a lot to enjoy here…. Even with the wonky drifting system.
LEGO 2K Drive is a failed spiritual sequel to LEGO Racers. You'll have fun, provided you're unpretentious and don't mind the repetitiveness and limited number of races you must repeatedly win to play out the story. If you play as a parent with a child, you can have an enjoyable time together. However, the absence of sharing your own creations among other players or racing with them in multiplayer is disappointing. Hardly anyone plays the multiplayer game, and local multiplayer in a split-screen is currently unplayable. The title offers nice graphics in a LEGO world style, imaginative power-ups, and car models but hides most of them behind microtransactions.

Bricklandia brings you Lego driving with a twist. An open-world adventure where you can create and operate your own Lego vehicle. Street-based racing, off-road adventuring or water shenanigans, your vehicle transforms wherever you find yourself!
Lego 2K Drive is sure fun to play, but paying the full price for a game that doesn't exactly follow industry standards when it comes to season pass content and in-game purchases might not be a very good idea.

LEGO 2K Drive is a pretty fun and charismatic game, Visual Concepts nailed the driving part. The cinematics are quite funny regarding characters or some concrete events inside the narrative. Unfortunately the game might feel repetitive with time and the whole "explore the map" so you can find the activities or collectibles is not as good as you might think.

If you like fun racing games and are interested in digital LEGO building, this is the game for you. Despite the game's shortcomings and occasionally boring missions, LEGO 2K Drive offers a fun gameplay experience.

With racing trophies, mini-games and access to online racing, the content is far from in short supply. But it's the saturation effect, derived from the very accessibility or ease with which missions are completed and other times by their rudimentary nature that makes the experience less remarkable. In constant walking from one side to the other, it is in the moments of construction that a car is produced to taste. If other games of this toy brand left good memories after landing the controller, this driving title, while interesting, is not particularly surmountable in some area. It works well and manages to reach a wide audience, but you quickly forget the time spent on the road, leveling up.

LEGO 2K Drive has the potential to turn into a beloved arcade racer. It implements many of its ideas very well but struggles with some others. The game's monetization practices are questionable, and side missions could've been designed more carefully.

LEGO 2K Drive feels like a modern spiritual successor to the 1999's Lego Racers that borrows several beats from powerhouse racing franchises like Forza Horizon and The Crew 2. However, unoriginal quests and shallow microtransactions prevent the experience from being special.
LEGO 2K Drive is a fun title that will bring back many memories for older players, but also allows younger ones to race in a colorful and humorous universe. The universe of this famous license has been well transcribed, and it's always fun to explore Bricklandia while destroying the scenery along the way. Unfortunately, the game's pleasant gameplay is hampered by zones that require loading times, microtransactions to obtain additional characters and the second part of the campaign mode. The title should nevertheless appeal to fans of other LEGO games looking for a new experience.

At first glance, LEGO 2K Drive is exactly what you would expect from a game with this title: an open world racing game in which the vehicles, characters and large parts of the game world are built from the well-known toy blocks. The concept will be familiar to people who played the LEGO Racer series in the early 2000s.

LEGO 2K Drive's solid Story Mode is mainly undone by uneven pacing and the inability to play it online with friends. Add in the game's comprehensive vehicle builder, and it all leads to a solid debut for the 2K/LEGO partnership, even if the microtransactions can feel like stepping on a square LEGO brick.
LEGO 2K Drive had crazy potential, and we still believe in it, but this first episode doesn't fully express it yet. The game is beautiful, lively and fun to play even if the circuits are disappointed. But one of the biggest flaw comes from the microtransactions. A promising start.

LEGO 2K Drive is a really solid kart racer, built on top of an incredibly powerful customisation system which really lives up to the level of freedom we think of when thinking about LEGO. It’s a game that is legitimately fun for all ages and will appeal to players that want a really fun kart racing exploration game, and also those that like to spend hours upon hours creating LEGO vehicles. Balancing of the online transactions side of things would be appreciated, but nonetheless, LEGO 2K Drive offers a great time for players young and old that enjoy racing games and the quirky humour of LEGO properties.
A shift in focus and a lack of content stop this racer from coming in first place, but as a fun and chaotic arcade racer, LEGO 2K Drive does a lot of things really well.
Lego 2K Drive is not necessarily a bad game. It's just so unengaging that it starts to feel somewhat pointless. There's nothing you haven't seen before and done better in other games. The driving itself can be fun, but it's overshadowed by the dull and repetitive content.

LEGO 2K Drive is a solid open-world kart racer that loses its strength when its MMO nature is revealed.
