The game features multiple story modes, primarily centered around beloved franchises like Star Wars, offering engaging narratives that tie closely to the films. While the Star Wars storylines are particularly praised for their depth and enjoyment, some players note that the overall story content can feel limited, especially in comparison to the expansive toybox mode. Despite some technical issues and a relatively short playtime for the main story, fans appreciate the nostalgic value and the fun of exploring these familiar worlds.
“Finally, the game comes with a few stories to play through including a story from the Clone Wars, the original trilogy, and the story from The Force Awakens.”
“If you are a Star Wars fan and wanted to see what this game has in that area, you will be pleased with what it has, especially in the Clone Wars department, as that story pack is my favorite included in the game.”
“I must put it straight, I only bought it to play the Star Wars story, but the whole thing turned out to be a lot of fun.”
“Story mode is too short.”
“This is honestly the best of the bunch, even if it has barely any story.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its fun mechanics and engaging combat, offering a variety of activities and creative modes that appeal to fans of Marvel, Star Wars, and Disney. However, many users express disappointment over missing elements such as co-op options, certain characters, and bugs that affect the experience. Despite these flaws, the game provides hours of entertainment with solid platforming and diverse gameplay mechanics, though some players feel it could benefit from additional features and improvements.
“Excellent game, great gameplay, history, and the world is just amazing.”
“The combat is very engaging, there are plenty of collectibles to look around for, the characters are very distinct from one another, and the new side-content like farming, toy box takeover, and toy box speedway give the game further gameplay variety.”
“This game has many hours of gameplay and it's a great time waster. I ended up playing it for 3 hours straight for the fact that first I went into the tutorial and then there is so much to do afterwards that it's crazy.”
“At the same time, this is missing a lot of gameplay elements for some reason - co-op is not an option anymore, a few characters and many modes are missing.”
“This game has crashed multiple times within my first 24 hours of total gameplay.”
“The controls aren't that great, to be honest, but the levels are quite varied in their use of mechanics.”

Replayability in this game is mixed; while some players appreciate the vast content and improvements over previous versions, others feel that the shutdown of online servers and limited toybox content significantly diminish replay value. The ability to use all Star Wars characters across various playsets adds some depth, but the lack of engaging content and access to player missions detracts from the overall experience.
“This kills a lot of the replay value and locks me out of most of the fun I had when I was younger.”
“Not a bad game for sure, it's kind of unique, but there isn't a lot of interesting content in this game with the normal toybox content. The online server shut down a long time ago, and I can't play toybox player missions anymore, which was a big part of the replay value.”
“This game has so much content and replayability. As someone who played the original Disney Infinity all the way back in 2013, I can definitely say this is a huge improvement coming from that to this.”
“Additionally, unlike previous games, all Star Wars characters are playable in all Star Wars playsets if you find the right collectibles.”

However, there are concerns about locked content and whether it can be fully unlocked through gameplay or if it was previously tied to microtransactions. Overall, the shift away from microtransactions has been positively received.
“I'm also kind of curious about all the stuff that is locked and if they can all be unlocked solely by playing through this game, or if they were previously microtransactions that you can never get again.”
“I'm also kind of curious with all the stuff that are locked and if they can all be unlocked with just solely playing through this game, or if they were previously microtransactions that you can never get again.”
