Lego 2K Drive is frustratingly good because beneath the horrendous micro-transactions & battle passes is a really fun simple racing game with a campaign that shoots you through races that offer up charming characters, powerups, etc. Top that with very tight controls & seamless transitions between different types of vehicles depending on the terrain that you are on making moving around surprisingly fun.
However. As I said at the beginning, it’s unfortunate that the terrible monetization has soured this overall game’s reputation by a lot & making customization in a Lego game almost non-existent due to that result. It’s so frustrating to see a game that is fundamentally great due to its core gameplay loop getting kneecapped by greed. Nonetheless, I can recommend it if you see it on sales and if you can stomach the unacceptable monetization.
