LEGO 2K Drive (PS5)

Schneller Lego-Fahrspaß besonders, aber nicht nur für Kids. Dazu ein toller Fahrzeug-Baukasten und viele Inhalte, aber nicht frei von Kritk.

Whatever the future holds, Lego 2K Drive is already a complete package--a raucous arcade racer that marries elements of open-world racing and kart racing and wraps it all in a bright, playful Lego package. It has enough real racing bona fides to satisfy adults, but the most pleasant surprise is how its combination of humor, explosive action, and robust building tools will make you feel like a kid again.

Amongst the pantheon of humanity’s greatest creations, there sits the wheel. This circular novelty cemented itself as invaluable for the advancement of civilisation, with carts, wheelbarrows and penny farthings leading the way until someone created the combustion engine.

Despite the flexibility of the Lego brand, to date, it has really only been used for media adaptations. There are a few original game concepts in there, but it never feels enough. I played Lego Racers for the N64 in 1999, and I remember loving it as the bricky cars and the fun power-ups made racing enjoyable. I was excited about a new Lego racing game, and the open-world aspect was interesting.
