The gameplay is generally praised for its accessibility and fun, particularly for children, with impressive quality in the joy-con creations. However, it is criticized for being simplistic and lacking depth for experienced players, and the build time for the toy-con modules may deter some users, raising concerns about the practicality of storage for families with limited space.
“The gameplay is amazing.”
“The gameplay is easily accessible for kids.”
“The gameplay is fun to build, with impressive quality to all the joy-con creations, making it a great activity to share with a child.”
“Gameplay is simplistic and doesn't offer much for experienced players.”
“On the downside, the build time for the three main toy-con modules may test your resolve, and we're not convinced that the core game offers enough gameplay to make the storage of these cardboard monsters a realistic prospect for space-short families.”

Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 03: Vehicle Kit Review
The third Labo kit is perhaps the best one yet; it offers a solid building experience and a genuinely entertaining way to control three distinct modes of transport, as well as a fleshed-out gameworld which is not only packed with things to do, but is augmented by a range of mini-game modes which will provide many hours of enjoyment – although the multi-player ones require you to have a second Vehicle Kit to hand, which might not be feasible for everyone. On the downside, the build time for the three main Toy-Con modules may test your resolve, and we're not convinced that the core game offers enough gameplay to make the storage of these cardboard monsters a realistic prospect for space-short families. If you love constructing things and have a garage attached to your home, then these concerns are going to be less pressing, making this new Labo kit easier to recommend. If space is at a premium in your abode, it pains us to say that you might want to think twice about investing both the money and time into this otherwise noble venture.

Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 03: Vehicle Kit is the most challenging and intriguing to piece together so far, and the set that has the most longevity - their software/adventure pieces may not be the most in-depth RPG/open-world fest, but it's fun and puts the kit to good use. The wheel and joystick, in particular, are what's likely to carry momentum going forward - the Toy-Con that could easily be applied to future games and concepts.
