    For all its minor shortcomings, if one of the main design goals of The Skywalker Saga was to make you fall in love with Star Wars again, on that particular front it is an unequivocal triumph. [Issue#371, p.110]

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga providing such a huge toybox of characters, worlds, vehicles, and more to unlock and play will make it essential for many Star Wars fans. In terms of sheer scale, size, and scope, this is far beyond anything Traveller’s Tales have put out before with the LEGO brand. Unfortunately, some of that ambition is undermined by the lackluster implementation of certain ideas that are supposed to be its big selling points, such as its improved combat and new camera angle. This is arguably not quite the Star Wars game you’re looking for, but it does more than enough right.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga does a lot of things right that make it the best LEGO Star Wars game, and LEGO game to date. But it's level structure and pacing leave something to be desired more often than not, and co-op play has seemingly gotten far less care and attention than it deserved, putting a damper on what is otherwise a hilarious and fun experience.

    It contains everything that makes gamers love the Lego Star Wars games, while at the same time showing the authors' desire to push the franchise further. Some of it worked, some of it didn't, but if this sympathetic will holds out, the next game will no doubt turn out great. [Issue#319]

    All in all, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has sadly been a frustrating experience for me. World design and presentation, with John William's classic score and the beautiful graphics, are top notch, but the gameplay and quest design got redundant only after few hours.

    The Skywalker Saga is at its best when it delves into its more linear and tightly designed sections, as the open areas are devoid of life and exciting missions to spend your time on.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is an amazing video game. You can travel to the most famous places in the galaxy and play with all the Star Wars characters. An adventure full of nostalgia and fun, I love the LEGO humour. [Recommended].

    Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is full of the classic Whitty humour we have come to love about LEGO games.
    With its beautiful graphics,    Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is full of the classic Whitty humour we have come to love about LEGO games.
    With its beautiful graphics, amazing soundtrack an enormous amount of collectables, the game sent shivers down my spine when jumping in too my first "Episode".
    Unfortunately, that's where it ends for this game. The media reviews showed promise and gave me confidence in what I was going to experience.
    However, the games main issue is its gameplay. Although improved over older Lego Starwars games with a 3rd Person shooter style and more combo driven gameplay for lightsaber wielders, the worlds and "Levels" within each episode are just lacklustre.
    Each "Episode" is broken down to only 5 main levels, broken up with large vast hub worlds chained together, which seem lacking in atmosphere. These hub worlds are nothing more than areas to spread the collectables in and on first play through will simply be a vast area you run through to hopefully find some action in your next story based mission.
    As for the 5 Story based missions in each episode; these mostly consist of a repetitive boss style lightsaber fight or a ship based level with a quick and easy to complete objective.

    Overall, I am disappointed with the core gameplay of a game that had so much potential if it stuck closer to the original formula. However the charm, humour and number of collectables in the game do justify it as a buy, but maybe later down the line.    … Full Review »

    This game is a true love letter to all Star Wars fans, there is so much to do in this game beyond the main story that were all familiar with.This game is a true love letter to all Star Wars fans, there is so much to do in this game beyond the main story that were all familiar with.
    Because of the “reimagination” of the Lego formula you will sometimes forget that you’re even playing a Lego game, which isn’t bad. This game is everything that I personally always wanted in a Star Wars game and the reason that it’s only a 9/10 is because they removed a feature that we all took for granted in Lego games and that is the ability to customise your character which is a bummer and they also didn’t add online coop which would’ve been perfect in this game, maybe they will add it at some point but I doubt that. Other than that this game is packed with hours of content and exploration and sometimes it even gets a bit overwhelming which I like.
    Anyways this is a great game for the longtime Star Wars fans and the newcomers.    … Full Review »
