The Lego Movie 2 Videogame

The Lego Movie 2 Videogame is a 2019 Lego-themed sandbox action-adventure video game based on the 2019 theatrical movie of the same name that was developed by Traveller's Tales and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The game is a direct stand-alone sequel and the second and final installment to The Lego Movie Videogame, as well as the last Lego Movie video game to be published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, before Warner Bros. sold the Lego movie rights to Universal Pictures in 2020, although Warner Bros. still owns the The Lego Movie characters and movies they released.

Gameplay
The game loosely follows the plot of the film. The game borrows from Lego Worlds, and has new additional characters and refined combat mechanics, as well as those from the first game. Worlds and characters from both films are featured in the game. Players create various structures in order to access new levels.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The game overall is just the basic rehash/reskin of Lego Worlds, but with The Lego Movie 2-style on it, which includes all the flaws from that game (such as the camera system clipping through the terrain in several parts, for example).
 * 2) There are no levels in the game. Not even a checkpoint as well. They were a staple in Lego video games. Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins did a similar thing, but therefore was pulled off in a better way. The advertising claimed that there are levels in this game, but in reality there are none.
 * 3) It's way too easy to beat, compared to the past LEGO games, which most likely seems to be targeting young children and more mature gamers will find it as a cakewalk if you don't collect Master Pieces and completing quests. On top of that, many of the side quests drag on for too long.
 * 4) Very long loading times, which it feels you must quit the game.
 * 5) The adventure open worlds are very bland and uninteresting to explore and feel like there is no soul put into them.
 * 6) There are some pretty notable bugs and graphical glitches in every bit of the game.
 * 7) Does a poor job for following the plot of the movie. For example, in The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, Emmet's friends are captured by General Mayhem. But while Emmet's friends does still seem to be captured, Wyldstyle doesn't get captured in the game instead and the true villain isn't the final boss as the movie's climax is explained in a couple of sentences in the ending cutscene. Granted, this was to avoid spoilers of the movie, but still. Oh, and speaking of cutscenes, they are unskippable, which made it worse. None of the cutscenes are voiced (or recreated from the scenes from the movie!), with only Lucy narrating everything, and the ending is blatantly forced and unfinished.
 * 8) * Speaking of the final boss, the battle is very easy as it is extremely short. Every character is climbing to the top instead of fighting.
 * 9) Out of all of the LEGO games, this is easily one of the most repetitive of all time.
 * 10) Although there are a lot of characters to play as, the game completely omits special character abilities, compared to the other Lego games, mostly because the game itself is a reskin of Lego Worlds, as mentioned.
 * 11) This game has a major lack of replay value for completing quests and fighting boss battles. If you want to replay, all you have to do choose a different save slot and play the game again.
 * 12) Lackluster DLC. Just like the main game, there are absolutely no levels in this game, too, neither boss fights as well. (example: "Prophecy Pack".)
 * 13) *The Prophecy Pack are just pre-order only characters, meaning it's impossible to obtain them unless someone didn't use the pre-order code that came with the game.
 * 14) A dated reference involving every character on screen doing the "shoot" dance, which occurs at the end of the game. And people thought Lego Batman flossing in the movie itself was bad, so... what?
 * 15) The game adds a bunch of characters that never appeared in the movie, such as all of DUPLO animals, Vitruvius, and even the Super Secret Police robots.
 * 16) The Nintendo Switch version of the game is even worse and has a plethora of performance problems.
 * 17) Overall, this game was a very poor way to end off the original Lego Movie franchise in video game order, though to be fair, this likely wasn't intended to be the last video game in the original franchise, as the box office disappointments of both The Lego Ninjago Movie and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part caused Warner Bros. to terminate their film rights with Lego in December 2019, resulting in Lego moving on to work with Universal Pictures in 2020, while Warner Bros. still owns the rights to their run of The Lego Movie franchise.
 * 18) *However, the final episode of Unikitty, "The Birthday To End All Birthdays", was a much better end to the original franchise.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The soundtrack is good.
 * 2) Fluent controls, as expected from other LEGO games.
 * 3) The film's good sense of humor is still present.
 * 4) The graphics are nice and great to look at, even for 2010s, LEGO and TT Games standards.
 * 5) The voice acting is good, even though the voice actors featured are relatively unknown and obscure as well as not to reprise the role from the movie.
 * 6) Like the first game, there are plenty of characters to play as like Emmet, Lucy, Batman, Unikitty, Benny, Metalbeard, General Mayhem, Rex, and many more, despite the game ommiting special abilities.
 * 7) The designs of the adventure worlds are well crafted and really capture the look of the film.
 * 8) A well-placed and controllable camera, like other Lego games.

Reception
The announcement of The Lego Movie 2 Videogame was hyped by many gamers and fans alike, but while the first game was well-received and even has it on TV Tropes, when this was released, it wasn't well-received, known as mixed reviews by critics, gamers and fans alike due to being built off of Lego Worlds. On Metacritic, the Nintendo Switch version of The Lego Movie 2 Videogame has a Metascore of 56 out of 100 points, based on 9 reviews, the PlayStation 4 version has a Metascore of 57 out of 100 points, based on 23 reviews, the Xbox One version has a Metascore of 65 out of 100 points, based on 9 reviews, while the PC version has a Metascore of 56 out of 100 points, based on 4 reviews. The result is an obvious beta that many fans consider to be the worst Lego game ever released.

Trivia

(Note: The pack is only available in preorder, meaning it's not available anymore for anyone to buy it online.) Additionally, a "Galactic Adventures" DLC expansion pack (Not confused with 2009 Spore expansion pack with the same name) was made available on April 18, 2019 featuring three levels that expand further on certain plot moments from the film, such as Future Emmet's rise to becoming Rex Dangervest and Mayhem helping out the members of the Justice League.
 * Upon its announcement, Sean William McEvoy, the vice president of digital applications and games at the Lego Group, emphasized the open-world aspect of the game.
 * When you pre-order the game at GameStop and EB Games, you get the Star Stuck Emmet polybag.
 * It was officially announced on November 27, 2018 that The Lego Movie Videogame would be getting a sequel, just like The Lego Movie.
 * The game was released worldwide on February 26, 2019, two weeks after the release of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows.
