Amidst the excitement over the release of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, LEGO 2K Drive is another new release that has caught the attention of Switch owners. The game is an open-world driving simulation featuring a range of live service elements. Initial reviews suggest that it provides a decent experience for players.
IGN gave LEGO 2K Drive a score of 8 out of 10. The game was described as “one part The Crew 2, one part Mario Kart, and one thousand parts… LEGO Parts.” The review highlights the game’s creative freedom, which is similar to that of real LEGO bricks. The custom vehicle creation tool is particularly impressive and is worth the price of admission alone. However, the inability to share designs with others is disappointing, and the presence of a tedious microtransaction store is frustrating.
VGC also praised the game, awarding it four out of five stars. The review describes it as a “great open-world racing game” with a sense of humor and impressive customization options. The game is worth playing, provided that players can handle the microtransactions and avoid the major save-wiping issue that was present at launch.
Digital Trends was less impressed with the microtransactions, giving the game three out of five stars. The review notes that the story mode is enjoyable and creates a version of Forza Horizon that is more welcoming to younger audiences and casual racing fans. However, the presence of unsettling business practices in the form of microtransactions detracts from the overall experience.
GamesRadar+ enjoyed the game and awarded it four out of five stars, describing it as a “very classy game” suitable for all ages. The review notes that the game looks great, runs well, and is fully featured and well balanced. LEGO 2K Drive is an easy recommendation for those looking for a wholesome game.
Pure Xbox gave LEGO 2K Drive a score of seven out of ten. The game’s focus on driving and taking part in side missions is enjoyable, and the game offers a fun and varied experience for all ages. However, the actual racing aspects of the game could be improved, and the game is a bit pricey for its presentation levels. Despite these flaws, the review notes that the game is a fun LEGO-themed take on games like Forza Horizon.
LEGO 2K Drive is a fun open-world racing game with impressive customization options and a sense of humor. The game’s microtransactions and save-wiping issue at launch are frustrating, but the game is still worth playing for those looking for a wholesome and enjoyable experience.
