Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

What an absolute amazing game. Lego Star Wars on ps2 and then the original trilogy I played over and over again and then the complete saga came out and I played that over and over. And I always wished for another. Dream come true.

I've been hyped for this game since before covid and have kept up with all the news. When I was little, the complete saga was my favorite game, and you better believe I played everything I could. This game I think is either directed more at kids or maybe as more of a complimentary piece to go with the movies. Going through just the story from start to finish (which is what most star wars will do) feels just like going through the motions. The combat is slightly updated into what I would call elevated mashing. It is a little more sophisticated, but still very mashable. The flying is pretty goofy, but not terrible. This game just feels like its going through the motions though. Everything feels more drawn out than it needs to be and the humor is much more in the face than the original. I will say, if you are a little kid who like to make fart noises and make fun of star wars, this game was meant for you. However, the visuals are fantastic, I can't stress that enough. Surprisingly, the sequels were the best part. I think the best way to play this game is to play that third after replaying the complete saga, it is just more exciting.

Two little nits to pick. One, this has the usual, fantastic split-screen coop mode of Lego games, but no online multiplayer (as usual, but still).

Two, it has LOTS of Star Wars characters to choose from (we are talking hundreds), but no character customization to create your Jedi/Sith/scoundrel and roam around the galaxy (kind of lousy, since other Star Wars Lego games had it).

Having gotten those complaints out of the way, the game is charming and well-done, a humorous re-telling of the nine movies (playable out of order if you like) with the really fun free-roam mode, which allows the player to visit all the locations unlocked in the game to explore planets, complete non-story missions and search for collectibles.

It's weird that the one Star Wars game including some kind of open world sandbox with over 20 planets to visit, space battles when you travel from a place to another and different character classes with unique gameplay... is a Lego game.

Really says something about how sadly underused the license has been in the last years. I mean, I liked Fallen Order, Squadrons and the Battlefront games, but where's the Star Wars equivalent of Skyrim?

Still, this scratches that itch to a little, brick-y extent. A nice game, crafted with passion and care.

I really enjoy the game. Its real nostalgic and open worlded and has a great amount of characters. The only thing I don't like about it is the easiness of the game. I really think they should add a bit more challenge to the game. I've played trough the first three games in just around three ours. Other things are great!

Well what can I say... Having grown up playing the first ever Lego Star Wars game, even playing the demo on PS2 extensively, I didn't expect much considering in my opinion Lego games have gotten progressively worse since the Complete Saga was released. How wrong was I! This game is an absolute masterpiece, something to behold for the ages, the seamless profession from level to level in different sort of "home planets", the flying of ships in "space areas" the choice for players to start where they want on any of the 3 trilogies. The abilities/classes given to the 380 (that's right 380) characters unlockable within the game.

It is quite astounding the effort that has gone into this game, the graphics are incredible, the voice actors are incredible, everything is incredible!!!! Buy it!!!!
