Easy to earn in-game currency Description The game features an in-game currency (Brick Bux) that can be earned relatively easily, allowing players to unlock new vehicles, characters, and parts.

Destructible environments and transformations Description The game features destructible environments and car damage models, adding to the immersion and satisfaction of the racing experience. Crashing into objects causes them to break into individual LEGO pieces, accompanied by satisfying sound effects. The vehicle transformation system, which allows players to seamlessly switch between cars, off-road vehicles, and boats based on terrain, is also a highlight.

Microtransactions are easily avoidable Description Microtransactions are present but are off by default and require account linking to access, making them easily avoidable. Reviewers note that it's possible to play the game entirely without microtransactions, and that they are purely cosmetic. This is less impactful in a game where you can build your own car.
