The game is set in Bricklandia, an open world which consists of a number of regions which can be freely explored by players.

Members of the team had experience working on racing games such as Hydro Thunder and San Francisco Rush.

It includes Bricklandia’s Fast Crew, sisters Rita and Lita Malachi, pilot Doug and resident techie Ronnie (aka CoNfL8t).

[26] IGN enjoyed the in-game courses, writing, "The track design is also generally strong, with plenty of technical segments, environmental hazards, and rewarding shortcuts".

[22] GamesRadar+ felt the game's rubber-banding made early races feel artificial, "No matter how well you drive, the leader (and maybe another car or two) will always zoom off out of sight, reappearing with a lap to go".

[21] While criticizing the title's live service component, Rock Paper Shotgun praised the polished visuals, "Everything from the menu's thocks and snaps, to the sheen off a character's plastic casing suggests a level of care the Danes would be chuffed with".

[3] Game Informer felt the writing effectively parodied other racing titles, saying that, "Lego 2K Drive's constant barrage of dialogue kept me giggling throughout".
