Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game worked perfectly fine until after I completed the story, around 11 hours in.
115 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
However, outside of story mode and the Dojos (challenge rooms), there is very little combat when exploring the semi-linear levels during freeroam mode, which means the gameplay loop post-story is picking a character with the speed ability (to run faster) and roaming around to complete amusing and sometimes challenging, if repetitive side quests.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics are good, but the bounce from the movie cutscenes to the world you interact with is quite different and feels like two different games or stories or just two distinct worlds rather than one immersive world that you engage with.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
This is a light and fun game that’s perfect for both kids and adults looking for a relaxed, enjoyable co-op experience in the LEGO style.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Was easy to 100% as the PVP game mode lets you do it in single player so you don't get screwed out of achievements. 9/10, would be a 10/10 if bugs were fixed.
