When The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part hit theaters, fans were once again drawn into Emmet’s quirky, colorful world. But the adventure didn’t stop there. The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame, developed by TT Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, gave fans the chance to dive deeper — brick by brick — into a fun, family-friendly game that blends creativity, exploration, and lighthearted humor.
Story: Everything Is NOT Awesome
The game picks up where the first LEGO Movie left off. Alien invaders called the Duplo have wrecked Bricksburg, and it’s up to Emmet, Lucy, Batman, and the rest of the gang to rebuild their world. Players will journey through familiar and new worlds, collecting Master Pieces and saving their friends — all while fending off strange creatures and solving building puzzles.
Gameplay: Build, Explore, Create
Unlike previous LEGO games, The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame leans more into open-world exploration and creativity. It mixes elements from LEGO Worlds and traditional LEGO titles, giving players freedom to:
- Build structures to solve puzzles and access new areas
- Explore 23 unique worlds, including Apocalypseburg, Systar System, and more
- Collect and unlock over 100 characters, vehicles, and items
- Complete quests and side missions scattered across various planets
With its more open design, it offers a sandbox-style experience, especially appealing to younger players who enjoy experimenting and building.
Kid-Friendly Fun with Cooperative Play
This game is perfect for families. With drop-in/drop-out local co-op, parents can team up with kids, siblings can build together, or friends can explore strange planets side by side. The puzzles are clever but accessible, and the combat is simple and satisfying — no frustrating difficulty spikes here.
Graphics & Sound: Colorful, Chaotic, and Comical
As you’d expect from a LEGO game, the visuals are bright, playful, and detailed. From the wastelands of Apocalypseburg to the glittering sparkle of the Systar System, every environment pops with charm. The characters’ animations and voices (some pulled straight from the movie) add humor and energy to every interaction.
The soundtrack includes catchy tunes — including an encore of “Catchy Song” — that’ll probably get stuck inside your head. (You’ve been warned.)
What’s New from Previous LEGO Games?
While The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame borrows the core formula from past TT Games titles, it introduces:
- A crafting/building system, where you construct key items using collected bricks
- More open-ended exploration instead of linear missions
- Creative freedom that feels more like LEGO Worlds than the usual movie tie-in game
This blend of old and new may feel refreshing to some, but a little directionless to others. It rewards curiosity more than story-driven gameplay.
Available Platforms
You can play The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame on:
- PlayStation 4
- Xbox One
- Nintendo Switch
- PC (Steam)
It’s optimized for family-friendly fun on all platforms, with smooth controls and colorful graphics even on the Switch.
Final Thoughts: Is It Worth Playing?
If you or your kids loved the movie, The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame is a joyful, hands-on extension of the adventure. It encourages problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration. While it might not have the depth or polish of top-tier LEGO titles like LEGO Marvel Super Heroes or LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, it’s a solid addition to the LEGO video game universe.
Everything may not be awesome… but this game is definitely fun.
