There’s a lot to love, and it shapes up to be of the most family-friendly games of 2023, but it’s not often that a game with so much stuff also feels a little empty.
LEGO 2K Drive is the kind of game you’ll enjoy playing, but maybe not one you find yourself longing to pick up when you don’t have a controller in your hands. Challenges are, well, challenging collectibles are all over the place, and increasingly hard to find races certainly have their issues, but they’re never short of excitement.
Those whose itch gets thoroughly scratched by LEGO 2K Drive’s plethora of content will have more than enough to keep them entertained. Completionists will have a challenge on their hands if they want that illustrious 100%–something which, with other LEGO games, is more a reward for time and patience, rather than luck or frustration. However, to get a gold medal, these can be often more brutal than they deserve to be, especially for casual or younger audiences. By and large, challenges are fun, ranging from standard races and point-to-point scrambles to silly jokes (crash into a wall in under three seconds) and stipulation-based challenges (don’t touch water don’t crash through fences). From those first moments in your first map, Turbo Acres, it does its best to encourage you to try your luck at anything you come across.
Soon, it throws a remarkable number of story missions, quests, challenges, and collectibles your way. Your car automatically transforms and adapts to the surface, and it feels like a platformer at heart–nailing jumps over hills and between obstacles is intuitive, and feels fantastic when you succeed in grabbing a hard-to-reach item, or saving yourself a huge detour by skipping up a cliff face. Between races, LEGO 2K Drive presents you with an open world to explore at your leisure.
