The game borrows from Lego Worlds and Lego Dimensions, 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.[2] Players create various structures in order to access new levels.[3]
The first DLC expansion was titled the "Prophecy Pack," and brought prominent characters from the first movie into the game, such as Young Vitruvius and Lord Business.[lower-alpha 1][4] Additionally, "Galactic Adventures" DLC expansion pack 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.

On Metacritic, the Nintendo Switch version of The Lego Movie 2 Videogame has a score of 56 out of 100 points, based on 9 reviews,[8] while the PlayStation 4 version received a score of 57 out of 100 points based on 23 reviews.[10] Steam (service) reviewers gave the game an average score of 7 out of 10.[17]
Andrew Reiner of Game Informer gave the game a six out of ten, saying that "The Lego Movie 2 Videogame rarely pushes the player to do anything other than go into their building menu to select one object, and ends up being a shockingly bland experience in a series that has been mostly consistent in doing fun things with different properties."[18] Similarly, Metro gave the game a 3 out 10, justifying their score by saying that the game was a "cheap and nasty film tie-in that reaches a new low for Lego games and stands in stark contrast to the creativity of the movie and the toys."[19]
