    I really wanted to love this game, but unfortunately, it's just average/mediocre. Most of the levels feel barebones and short, and The Complete Saga's levels were almost entirely superior to this.

It feels like the game prioritised quantity over quality, which is incredibly unfortunate. So many incredible parts of the older games were cut, just to make room for endless open-world hub levels. And those hub levels are honestly not special enough to justify it - I'd prefer a game with fewer hub worlds and amazing levels, than a game with loads of hub worlds and mediocre levels. Also, the amount of bugs and glitches is disappointing too. But visually the game is pretty, there's a ton of characters with unique playstyles, and it's clear the devs put a ton of heart and work into the game, so I do appreciate that. Sadly I think this game just isn't finished, and needed more development time. Expand

    O jogo é legal igual aos outros jogos da lego, mas em termo de história dos filmes ele realmente não é tão bom, ele ignora muitos eventos que acontecem no filme, que na versão de ps2 tem e que nesse não tem, e também não tem como montar o próprio personagem igual todos os jogos da lego, realmente triste.

    It is a great change that tt games has had for the creation of lego video games, and this is without a doubt the best video game development, giving honor to the lego games of yesteryear and the star wars saga, such as its playability, and many hours of very entertaining games, being very fresh and authentic, a great title that is recommended at any age.

    Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is full of the classic Whitty humour we have come to love about LEGO games.

    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.

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.

    I give it a 4/10 because I was able to access only about two thirds of the game thanks to the infamous Maz Kanata glitch. I would have rated it 7/10 if I got to play the whole thing, but alas. I waited for a month for a fix, the developer shares no updates regarding the patch, so… whatever.

The main episode missions are either too short and sweet or too long and boring, the worlds outside of the missions are pretty empty and lifless despite all the npcs that walk around with not much to do but solve puzzles and collect things.

    This... is a monstrosity. And it's worse for it. The content from the films is a little out there to begin with (you spend like 30 minutes in the factory aspect on the hive planet, without C3Pos antics and it's just terrible). But they decided to give you full access to the camera; bar some puzzle elements which have fixed points (which makes no sense it's 2022 come on) and those parts as well as jumping to platforms from ledges (there's a lot of ledges, more so than you'd think from a lego game). not enjoyable.

    You can't set your own waypoints, the maps are badly laid out for you. You're overloaded with collectables with no real clue what to do until like you finish an episode and have had time to read the 28434 pages of content a droid with a ? throws at you.

    Just badly directed, badly constructed (heh) and not much fun to play. Which is a shame, some of the comedy is quite good, it's mostly voiced (no mumblings although you can turn those on) and it manages to shine away Anakin's genocidal tenacities in a such good propaganda way; the 3rd Reich would have applauded the effort.

    They have a remade combo fight system which sounds impressive until you play it and wish it didn't exist. A lot of the controls for this are a buggy mess, for example if you hold down the L2 on the PS5, it's supposed to Aim and the game tells you to press R2 to throw the lightsaber at the enemy. Except. It doesn't half the time. It's easier just to press R2 to throw it although if you press it more than once the game gets confused and sometimes doesn't throw it. Try it. shake your head. It's just a buggy joke of a system.

    If you like star wars, lego and enjoyed collecting every collectable in donkey kong 64 and want more of the same. This is the game for you. If you enjoyed the previous lego games and like star wars... i may give it a pass.

    If you only like lego or only like star wars. avoid. And just watch the films, you'll have way more fun.. than whatever this was supposed to be

For example, on Ep.1 When I went to land on Tatooine, and I got stuck on the sky area after the ship descended, I thought it was load times, but it never loaded (and I was playing on the Xbox Series X). Besides the bugs, there is some other game issues in my opinion. I did not really care about no online-coop, but the character customization got to me. There could have been so many possibilities with it, but they ditched it later on in development. Overall, I say it would be a good spend of money for anyone that loves Star Wars, casual or diehard.

No longer are you playing 6 loosely connected levels that take place in different places in a movie that you would need to have watched to follow any sort of plot. The Skywalker Saga feels like a truly modern LEGO Star Wars game in every way. I am taking a point off, however, for the fact that you cannot replay the open world sections of the story without starting a brand new game. This means that if I want to replay a certain section of Return of the Jedi that was in between levels, I have to start a new game and replay through Episode IV and Episode V to get to that section.

En mi vida había visto un producto tan mediocre con tantísima gente defendiéndolo como si fuera una joya. He jugado a la franquicia de lego Star Wars como el que más, y este juego no está a la altura de los clásicos ni por asomo. Este se anunciaba y se hablaba en las entrevistas como el juego definitivo de Lego Star Wars y tras un retraso de casi 2 años, está claro que sus aspiraciones estaban altísimas y tuvieron que retrasarlo porque no pudieron cumplirlas en absoluto. No es un desastre como cyberpunk, pero es una cáscara de lo que podría haber sido.

    Positivos:

    + Visualmente se ve genial
    +Buen sonido y doblaje
    +"Buen" sistema de combate
    +Muchos personajes
    +Sistema de mejora de clases interesante

    Negativos:

    -No tiene HUB, o sea, las misiones es todo lo que vas a tener al encender el juego.
    -No tiene ni tendrá (confirmado) personalización de personaje.
    -Significativamente más pequeño y corto que mi punto de comparación, Lego Star Wars 3 (juego de 2011).
    -Se anuncia como lo que no es, un mundo abierto. Casi todas las misiones secundarias son absolutas chorradas hechas para que dure más el juego. Los mundos son pequeñísimos, no exploras el mundo, exploras 4 secciones de tamaño mediano si llega y recicladas de la historia y ale, ese es tu mundo abierto. En absoluto.
    -La galaxia está totalmente de relleno, encuentros aleatorios (sencillísimos/aka aburridos) de vez en cuando y un par de """"carreras"""". Otro elemento al que se le dio bombo en su creación y que está totalmente vacío.
    -Opción nula de diferentes modos de juego.
    -La dificultad es nula sin opción de modificarla, lo cual hace que el combate no sirva más que para mashear el botón.
    -Menús difíciles de navegar, confusos y visualmente saturantes.
    -Sobresaturación constante de la interfaz.
    -La negación total a la opción de creación de personaje da a entender que el juego no recibirá actualizaciones de contenido fuera de packs de personajes y las pocas misiones que estos puedan ofrecer.
    -(opinión personal) aburridísimo, todo es super monótono y sencillo. La historia en los niveles avanza rapidísimo. El gameplay muchas veces se siente fatal, la cámara hace lo que quiere después de que uses la fuerza o estés apuntando. Una experiencia muy desagradable desde un punto de vista físico, me dolía la cabeza.

    Estoy seguro de que sabría decir más contras objetivos, pero creo que se entiende el punto. Para mi está claro que esto fue un proyecto excesivamente ambicioso que se quedó a medio cocer por el Covid y nunca se llegó a poder retomar al 100%. Para mi su nota real sería un 4/3, pero le pongo un 0 para al menos bajarle un poco la media porque de verdad que la gente parece que no haya jugado ni un solo juego de la franquicia en su vida, o la nostalgia haya consumido el más mínimo ápice de criterio que puedan tener. Una lástima de juego.

    The cutscenes are long and the humor is obnoxious and out of place. It makes the earlier games look far more clever.

Hub worlds don't change based on your era. Online multiplayer was cut and the character customizer, a staple feature of lego video games at this point, was canned. Why they would decide to make such a decision is beyond me, and this review is being used to draw attention to this. Ground vehicles cannot be bought and summoned, and you are stuck resorting to micro ships for transport (actually, you can't even use these on the ground. Why?)

    And some planets don't even have proper hubs to explore, even though they have levels set there.

    TT games falsely advertised the presence of venators for this game. Where are they TT?

    At the end of the day, we need to call TT out for not addressing the false advertising that they have done with this game, and hopefully down the line they will address these criticisms with patches and updates.

    Is LSW:TSW a good videogame?

    No. It's a basic rail shooter. Shootouts provide no challenge at all. Puzzles provide no challenge at all. Verticality in levels is gone. You run down the corridor and shoot, and then you run and shoot some more between levels. There are many mechanics that don't influence gameplay: you have covers so what? You have upgrades so what? You have combos so what?

    Is LSW:TSW a good homage to Star Wars?

    No. It's nauseatingly compressed and hurried. You get a 15 minutes worth of a movie in a few seconds long cutscene and then a couple minutes of running from point A to point B. And then pacing of levels is horrific. They're either long and empty or way too short than should be. Creators of this have very little understanding of "tempo" thing.

    Is LSW:TSW at least funny?

    Well, THAT it is sometimes. But between funny gags you'll get dozens minutes of boring running and shooting and a chop-suey of references to your favoutire movies.

    Also, LSW:TSW is beautiful BUT there are questionable design choices. Studs feel lighter and cheaper, and collect harder. Also Kylo Ren's lightsaber... Why'd they have to downgrade it from LSW:TFA?? Yes it is true to real-life LEGOs but it looks worse?? What is achieved with that?

    In short, LSW:TSW is the definition of Disney's Star Wars. It isn't worth your time. Skip.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a hit for both Star Wars and LEGO fans. It mixes the amazing universe that George Lucas developed for movies/TV with fun and games that are a trademark of the video game franchise. The storyline is really funny, gameplay is pretty friendly and you will probably love it if you enjoy Jedi stuff.
