The story in this game has received largely negative feedback, with many players finding it rushed and poorly structured, particularly in its adaptation of the original Indiana Jones films. The game features a significant focus on the "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," while the other three films are condensed into brief, often confusing levels that lack depth and coherence. Overall, players feel that the narrative fails to capture the essence of the movies, resulting in a disjointed experience that prioritizes gameplay mechanics over storytelling.
- “The story follows the movies, but changes details to make the player experience more action-packed levels.”
- “The hilarious cut-scenes work perfectly by telling the story without voice acting, even though I've played newer LEGO games with voice acting in, still Indy is great.”
- “This game, although old and maybe simplistic from the cover, is full of bonus features and exciting plot lines that will keep you on edge.”
- “The story is disappointing; you have 3 parts for only 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' and only 1 hub for each of the other 3 movies, so of course the other 3 movies are just rushed levels for the important parts of the story.”
- “The story levels are mediocre at best, but the majority are either tedious or unnecessarily confusing. The worst of all has to be the horribly designed vehicle levels that make use of the game's equally horrible vehicle controls.”
- “The levels are a complete butchering of the film's storylines, instead opting to make one-room levels that come and go within 5 minutes.”

The gameplay in "Lego Indiana Jones 2" has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that it feels shallow and repetitive compared to its predecessor. While the game introduces some new mechanics and features, such as segmented open worlds and character abilities, these elements are often criticized for being underutilized or poorly executed, leading to frustrating experiences with clunky controls and buggy performance. Overall, while it retains the franchise's charm, the gameplay lacks the depth and challenge that fans expect from Lego titles.
- “While it may not revolutionize the LEGO game formula, it maintains the franchise's signature charm, humor, and enjoyable puzzle-solving gameplay.”
- “The fact that you can take fallen enemies' weapons is great for gameplay - and even though picked guns run out of ammo, the pure joy from blasting a bazooka that just a second ago belonged to a hostile trooper is something that never gets old.”
- “It was one of the first LEGO games to feature quest hubs for all chapters to have as little backtracking as possible to unlock all secrets with alternate characters and features great art design and gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is standard LEGO fighting and puzzle solving, so no complaints there.”
- “The mechanics are often clunky and the level designs, which are drastically different from the originals, are empty, repetitive, short, and boring.”
- “The level design gets boring quickly and it's quite repetitive; the chapters don't really seem to have their own unique parts to the gameplay, which I think was a missed opportunity.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising the high-quality original soundtrack and its effective integration of iconic themes from the Indiana Jones films, enhancing immersion. However, some players found the repetitive nature of certain tracks, particularly the main theme, to be overwhelming and detrimental to their experience. Overall, while the orchestration is well-executed, the execution of the soundtrack can lead to fatigue during extended play sessions.
- “The soundtrack in the game is based on songs from the movie itself, which helps the player fully immerse themselves in the franchise.”
- “Nicer visuals, amazing soundtrack, plenty of characters, weapons, secrets, etc. quite a bit of driving compared to the first game- in fact, driving levels probably comprise 50% of the game!!”
- “The music and sound effects are top-notch too, providing the perfect backdrop for your globetrotting adventures.”
- “Although we tried to make up for the lack of audio by playing the Indiana Jones movie soundtracks while playing, it definitely put a damper on the game for us.”
- “With the amount of spam of the main Indiana Jones theme, I have never felt so sick after playing a game; I couldn't sleep for days because the game won't turn off and the main song keeps looping and looping until you can't take it anymore.”
grinding

94%
Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, particularly in boss fights and vehicle levels, which detract from the overall enjoyment. While some appreciate the shorter levels and the potential for 100% completion, many express frustration with the need to grind for resources and the cumbersome character-switching mechanics during free play. Overall, the game is seen as enjoyable despite its grindy elements, but it often feels like a chore to fully complete.
- “The game attempts to create 'boss fights' which start relatively enjoyable, moving to tedious and repetitive.”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “They feel grindy, badly designed, and are highly repetitive, requiring the player to always destroy three waves of specific enemies while the rest of them keep spawning infinitely.”
replayability

Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players appreciate the interactive hub worlds and the "treasure mode" that allows for revisiting levels with different characters, many criticize the lackluster level design and short gameplay that offer little incentive to replay. The vehicle controls have also been noted as a drawback, further diminishing the overall replay value.
- “The hub worlds are more interactive, and there’s a lot of replay value.”
- “Instead, the main replayability factor to levels is 'treasure mode' where you return to a level after its events with two characters with particular skills (for example, a character with explosive weapons, and a character with a shovel) to complete a task and get a treasure chest.”
- “ infinitely replayable”
- “Sure you can go to the creator mode and play the levels with any character, but levels have no replay value, so there really isn't a point.”
- “The level design is extremely lackluster, and rarely has incentives for replay value.”
- “This franchise has so many scenes that could work well if handled correctly, but rather than use the opportunity to have a crack at fixing the torrent of hot garbage that was the original adventures’ level design, developer Traveller's Tales has largely dodged the issue by adapting the blandest scenes from each film into embarrassingly short vignettes with no replay value.”

- “The performance is good on the Steam Deck.”
- “The graphics still look good; it’s aged well and runs smoothly at 60fps on the Steam Deck.”
- “If the game was optimized for mouse and keyboard for the PC version, I would consider it a success.”
- “If the creator was optimized for mouse and keyboard for the PC version, I would consider the creator a success.”
- “The game suffers from severe performance issues, making it nearly unplayable on lower-end systems.”

The monetization aspect of the game is criticized for feeling like a cash grab, particularly with the emphasis on certain sections and the inclusion of bonus levels that seem more like advertisements for creator mode.

- “Tl;dr: there are better LEGO games than this bug-filled, cash grab catastrophe.”
- “Most of the game's attention seems to be pulled to the crystal skull section, which makes the game feel like more of an empty cash grab if anything.”
