    After hours of hair-splitting and nitpicking, the bottom line is that Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens just may be the best time I’ve had with a Lego title in years. Everything here is big, broad and loaded with replay value, and — unlike stormtrooper fire — will provide fans with a perfectly aimed blast of entertainment.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens probably would have sold well enough on the license alone, but TT Games wasn't content to coast on this one. The company put its best foot forward, and players are the ones to benefit.

    LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a much needed boost for the series. After Dimensions launched I thought all the standalone games would more or less be phoned in, but that is definitely not the case here. This has me excited for the next LEGO game, something I have not been able to say for years.

    Filled with plenty of sly nods and knowing winks, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is not only one of the funniest LEGO games we've played, it's also one of the best. If you love Star Wars and you love LEGO, you owe it to yourself to snaffle this up like a hungry rathtar.

    A good re-telling of latest Star Wars flick, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens adds some welcome new elements to the series' gameplay, managing to keep it interesting even if it still suffers from an heavy sense of dejà vu for people who played every LEGO game.

    TT's most polished game in ages. Just give it a few films before the next one, yeah? [Sept 2016, p.74]

    If you’re looking for a title that relies heavily on problem solving with some action mixed in, then definitely give this one a go.

    Not a perfect game, but it is a very, very good one that does something the series has needed to do for quite some time: innovate.

    'The Force Awakens' is one of the better 'Lego Star Wars' in recent memory. TT is paying attention to players and throwing in more variety. Even if we’ve seen all of this variety before, it’s very welcome in the 'Lego' world. If you haven’t been a huge fan of the series to date, this might not change your mind, but the returning fans will find a lot of 'Star Wars' to do.

    With LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, TT Games has shown its fans that it's listening. By adding new features and limiting the series' oft maligned about tedium, the studio has delivered one of its better games.

    Very bland game and not very interesting. Nowhere near as good as The Complete Saga and I’d honestly just rather watch the film.
