  • story
    63 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is a mixed bag, with players appreciating the attempt to incorporate a narrative into the gameplay, but many expressing frustration over mission design and progression mechanics. Players often find the missions grindy and poorly balanced, with some quests being nearly impossible to complete without significant upgrades or additional purchases. While the story adds a new dimension to the gameplay, it can feel tedious and repetitive, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “The story so far is good as there was none in HCR2.”
    • “Great storyline, great graphics, fun to unlock, nice building, and the most important is the best concept!”
    • “Amazing game, love how there's a story; there's so much, keep up the great work, Fingersoft!”
    • “They tried to incorporate a story that doesn't make much sense, and the levels are ridiculously short sometimes.”
    • “The story mode drove me to uninstall it.”
    • “You'll find yourself constantly needing to upgrade your cars if you want to progress through the game's story at all, but the exponentially increasing upgrade costs combined with the insanely slow rate you earn coins in-game means you're either going to be grinding the same boring things over and over for hours to afford one upgrade, or just swipe your credit card.”
  • gameplay
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally well-received for its fun and engaging mechanics, reminiscent of classic hill climb racing, with charming visuals and physics. However, many players express frustration with grindy elements, time-gated mechanics, and a cluttered interface that detracts from the overall experience. While some appreciate the unique features and nostalgic feel, others feel the gameplay lacks the simplicity and excitement of its predecessors, leading to a mixed reception.

    • “The gameplay is really fun!”
    • “This game oozes with the charm of a Lego game and includes the familiar gameplay of hill climb racing.”
    • “Amazing gameplay, graphics, and lore.”
    • “Reverse and stop mechanics are atrocious, daily tasks don't track, and items needed to complete story missions are placed in hard to reach spots so you cross the finish line and fail, using energy.”
    • “The actual driving gameplay is boring compared to other hill climb games, and 70% of the time you're stuck navigating various menus and dialogs instead of playing.”
    • “The gameplay to me was a bit dull and other things like crafting and an unnecessary map with locations just made things more complicated for me; in between these, I think the simple yet fun of 'hill climb racing' is actually lost somewhere for now with this game.”
  • graphics
    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some praising the visuals as vibrant and user-friendly, while others criticize them for lacking detail and color compared to similar titles like Hill Climb Racing 2. Performance issues, such as frame rate drops and blurriness, are also noted, suggesting that while the graphics have potential, they require further refinement and optimization. Overall, the game's graphics are seen as a strong point by some, but many feel improvements are necessary to enhance the overall experience.

    • “The visuals are perfect and the interface is user-friendly.”
    • “Great storyline, great graphics, fun to unlock, nice building, and the most important is the best concept!”
    • “It's a really cool game, smooth graphics, easy controls.”
    • “Even at the lowest graphics settings, the FPS drops drastically.”
    • “Graphics are the worst and very boring.”
    • “The graphics should be more bright and colorful.”
  • monetization
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the lack of intrusive ads and the overall fun gameplay experience. However, concerns about microtransactions and potential cash grab tactics persist, with some users feeling that certain features encourage spending. While some players commend the game for being less predatory than others in the franchise, others express frustration over grind mechanics and the presence of in-app purchases.

    • “No ads.”
    • “Monetization features are not very intrusive.”
    • “Not pay to win at all, no ads, the milk feature stops me from getting addicted.”
    • “Could be fun, but they opted for shady cash grab tactics.”
    • “Whether it's limited energy designed to get you to buy refills or limited 'red' blocks needed to unlock things, the game is unfortunately just another greedy cash grab which is unfortunate because it would otherwise be really good.”
    • “In-app purchase nightmare.”
  • optimization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed feedback, with many users reporting significant performance issues such as stuttering, low frame rates, and long loading times, particularly during races. While some players appreciate the game's content and overall performance, they express a strong desire for future updates to address these optimization problems. Overall, the game's performance is deemed inconsistent, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “I already love the way it is, but future updates and optimizations for this game would be much appreciated!”
    • “It's kind of laggy, but I expect the optimization will come.”
    • “I gave it 1 because it's a good game, but I can't 100% it because no matter what I do, the same levels keep stuttering and jumping to the point where you can't play it. Waiting 5 minutes for it to do anything is frustrating.”
    • “Game is cool, but the performance is atrocious for the level of graphics the game offers.”
    • “The game performance is so inconsistent that I occasionally experience stuttering and low FPS.”
  • stability
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game has received mixed feedback, with many users reporting frequent crashes, freezes during loading, and low frame rates. While some players experience smooth performance, others encounter significant bugs and glitches that disrupt gameplay, particularly when switching maps or completing tasks. Overall, the game is considered unstable, with optimization issues that need addressing.

    • “It runs great on my phone, which is surprising because a lot of other people say it runs really slow or doesn't work for them. A lot of stuff doesn't work on my phone anyways. Very good game!”
    • “The game is incredibly stable, with minimal crashes or bugs, making for a smooth gaming experience.”
    • “I've had no issues with stability; it runs perfectly on my device, allowing me to enjoy the game without interruptions.”
    • “It's fun, but I get app crashes and freezes during loading so often that when it reaches 75%, the app just freezes and requires a restart to run normally again. This happens frequently, and the energy system is also problematic.”
    • “Really bad optimization, low FPS, inconsistent, buggy, and breaks a lot. Many tasks are not checked after completing them, and several parts of the game feel pay-to-win.”
    • “Sometimes there is a bug when changing the map, like from countryside to mountain; when switching maps, the game immediately freezes.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received largely negative feedback, with users describing it as repetitive, linear, and uninspired. While some appreciate the aesthetic appeal of the music in a LEGO context, many find it frustrating and poorly integrated, often overshadowed by technical issues that hinder gameplay. Overall, the consensus is that the music feels half-hearted and detracts from the overall experience.

    • “It manages to play CODM at 120fps on medium settings with music in the background, without breaking a sweat.”
    • “It's insanely repetitive, linear, and dumb. It's expensive, it's pretty, and it's cool because it's LEGO, but it feels half-assed. I absolutely despise the music.”
    • “I can just make out the user agreements page and I can hear music, but clicking the play button makes a noise and nothing else...”
    • “I can only hear background sounds and music.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while it is designed to encourage repeated attempts and exploration, the limited energy mechanics and steep upgrade costs can lead to frustration. Many feel that the grind can detract from enjoyment, as it often requires repetitive gameplay or real-money purchases to progress effectively. However, some appreciate the secrets and quests that provide a reason to return to the game.

    • “It's grindy by design, requiring multiple attempts to complete a race with all objectives - the limited energy mechanics make it super frustrating to play.”
    • “You'll find yourself constantly needing to upgrade your cars if you want to progress through the game's story at all, but the exponentially increasing upgrade costs combined with the insanely slow rate you earn coins in-game means you're either going to be grinding the same boring things over and over for hours to afford one upgrade, or just swipe your credit card.”
    • “A little grindy, but it's generally not high pressure.”
