    Overall, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a homerun for the Star Wars gaming community. With a couple of exceptions I spoke about in my review this is a solid game.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a notable step forward for TT Games, which renews its game formula, with an impressive amount of content and new mechanics to play with. There are some flaws here and there, but it is still an essential videogame for every Star Wars fan and beyond.

    After playing the Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga for several hours, we concluded that this is undoubtedly the best Lego Star Wars video game so far. Some might argue that this is the leading title of the entire Lego series. First, you should expect a very long game that can take up to 90 hours to finish. The best part is that these hours will not be filled with repetitive tasks and boring missions. There are excellent action-packed scenes that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

    Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a humorous, well-directed game that made the massive Star Wars series light and enjoyable. It's a pretty good title for those new to Star Wars.

    LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga is a game for kids and adults with a greater interest for the younger ones in terms of game mechanics. For adults, it's mainly the Star Wars fan service side that will be the best part of experience.

    The Skywalker Saga makes the hearts of Star Wars fans beat faster, but it cannot fully realize its enormous potential.

    This massive Star Wars amusement park spanning nine movies is a perfect way to spend 20-30 minutes before going to bed.

    Though its narrative isn't cohesive, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the most complete and content packed Lego Star Wars adventure to date, with expanded combat, welcoming accessibility, and great presentation.

    Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga does a fine job of reinvigorating the Lego game formula, even if it continues to be mired in gargantuan amounts of busywork. Most importantly, however, it’s a highly entertaining Star Wars spectacle that brings humor and joy in Sarlaac-sized portions.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is an experience that is both very family-friendly and accessible. Two boxes ticked brilliantly. The game is beautiful, generous, offers great sensations and can easily please all ages despite its few game design flaws. TT Games undoubtedly offers the ultimate LEGO Star Wars experience for all fans of the series as well as an ideal entry for the youngest into galactic adventures.

    Much like the way early Lego Star Wars games set a tone for where the franchise would explore next, and how it would do so, The Skywalker Saga feels like the epitome of all the lessons learnt along the way while also setting up for the future. The intimate new camera angle and expanded combat breathe life into a familiar formula, while the linear levels feature a pleasing mix of puzzles and combat that are peppered with sharp humor. It's a pity that all of this can't be leveraged well enough to inject the same excitement into the side content that makes up most of the explorable hubs, which can take the thrill out of hunting down every unlockable character. But when The Skywalker Saga finds its stride, and it often does, it can be one of the most enjoyable ways to rediscover this storied franchise once again.

  1. The game's emphasis is on the collectibles, but taking them out would see the game crumble like a Jenga tower collapsing. Rather, the tower's vista would be cleared of obstructions, giving you the a chance to see the galaxy clearly again. The collectibles feel like padding to line the large gaps in the story in a way they weren't in older Lego games. If you're happy to hoard bricks and partake in a simple Star Wars romp, then you'll likely love the stodge. But if you're after a Lego Star Wars saga that takes its time, you might be left disappointed.

    There are no words. It's just awful. This is the worst lego game ever.
    I completed more than 8 lego games. It was a pity for me to spend even 2 hours of my life on this

    Here is the interface of some mobile game. Here the coins look artificial, they were changed for the first time in 15 years, now they are ghostly, why, and they are not interesting to collect, but this is 90% of what you have to do in the lego game.
    There are 7 inscriptions on the screen, a bunch of mechanics are mixed in, a bunch of crazy mess, it feels like I'm playing some kind of Chinese game.
    Here the split screen mode is not dynamic, it is divided in half, like 20 years ago). There is no scale of coins that you must collect per level. Characters are bought not in the store, but in the menu. Cutscenes in which the figures talk, why, it spoils the atmosphere of these funny sketches.
    I'm not against experiments, I don't like most Lego games because its "conveyor", but here it is - this is a terrible rape of the legendary classic game for the money, it seems to me that it was not about creativity, but simply the publisher forced "ADD A LOT OF NEW AND MAKE IT LOOK AT 60 bucks."
    I am against innovations purely for the sake of innovations, here from the first seconds, from the design of the menu, it is clear that this is an absolutely tasteless game from creative impotents.
    The only reason this game can succeed - its nastolgia, some levels look nice, atmospheric, and it seems that all the levels here have been reworked, this is not a remake. But also some story levels take place in some kind of semi-open world, like accompany the person from point A to point B, this is some kind of Assassin's Creed, this is no longer a scripted well-developed corridor levels.
    They did show some creativity on one thing, these are fights, added combos, life bars, more tricks, there’s nothing to complain about here, but I just can’t play it, I’m sick of this, this game with all its multi-layered mechanics is played more boringly then the simplest, the most childish, some kind of "Lego movie" game.
    I don’t know why to play it, it’s better to replay the original Star Wars, globally there’s only episodes 7 and 9 are new, and even in the form of films they are boring, 8ep good, but it’s expensive topay 60$ for 1 new episode, where lego game based on the films "Rogue-one"? "Han Solo"? "Mandalorian"? Well, yes, it’s only a dream to demand such a thing..
    There is also "cyberpunk level" optimization at the start, episode 7 started on gtx 1650 at the lowest settings - 15fps, purely commercial wrapper.

    I don’t even want to complete whole game for a full review, because I don’t want to replace my childhood memories of original Lego SW with this shi..
