The story aspect of the game is generally well-received, with users appreciating its good details and fun narrative. However, technical issues and bugs significantly hinder the experience, leading to frustration with mission progression and event participation. Overall, while the story has potential, the gameplay disruptions detract from its enjoyment.
- “Good details, fun story.”
- “Good story, good game.”
- “Decent story.”
- “Started off loving this game building characters and progressing unlocking new quests etc after about 3 weeks it gets impossible to beat any level. Opponents are much weaker than you in the arena but you are beaten in seconds. It really gets boring after a few weeks. As of 26/8/2024, it won't load and the updates are terrible. You can't win against weaker opponents; still not fixed. Any of the arena modes are pointless; you will be beaten by teams a lot lower. I give up.”
- “One technical issue with mission, Monolith Waste stage 2.2, the reward for this mission is supposed to be a chance to receive 1-3 Hedley tiles, but the mission is glitched and has 0% chance of receiving a Hedley tile as a reward.”
- “It's a really good game, just needs more characters and then it will be perfect. Good progression and a good amount of fun to be had, just lacks some playable characters and some more missions added to the campaign.”

I played this game before Netflix acquired it, made a lot of progress, and spent no money, so I'm glad everything is free, just please fix that glitch.”

grinding

Players appreciate the ability to level up quickly, which is beneficial for those with limited time, but many express frustration with the grindy nature of the game, particularly regarding the difficulty in unlocking characters due to rare tiles. While the gameplay is enjoyable, the repetitive animations and occasional bugs detract from the overall experience, leading to mixed feelings about the grinding aspect.
- “The only complaint I have, which is small, is that the game is very grindy. There are so many characters that are locked behind tiles, and tiles are very rare and time-consuming to get. Sadly, I may never experience many of the other characters on the roster, but that being said, I do very much enjoy the game with the characters I have so far.”
- “Smooth and well-polished game, but with a slow, grindy experience that feels repetitive and contrary to the spirit of LEGO.”
- “I love it; however, whenever I get a new character, it gives me the option to buy their tiles in the shop, but when I press the X button, the game crashes. Also, the game is a bit grindy, but that's fine for the most part. If the bug/glitch is fixed, this would be 5 stars.”
