    A seamless Star Wars storyline spread across a scattershot open galaxy.

    I can’t think of another Star Wars game that’s included so much of the franchise, in such a brilliant and well-made package, and does it all without becoming boring, or bogged down in canon details and retcons. Star Wars is silly. Star Wars is epic. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga knows this and embraces both aspects, while being a lot of fun and very funny. It’s one of my favorite games of 2022, and while some hardcore Star Wars fans may be loathe to admit it, yes, this is probably the best Star Wars game yet made.

    We’ve been looking forward to finally getting our hands on Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and we’ve been amazed with TT Games’ take on it. For the first time, all nine films are gathered in one Lego game and nothing has been left out. The title retains the solid foundations that have made the licence so strong, but brings a lot of welcome new features to modernise its gameplay. True to the rest of the Lego games, the humour is always present and regularly makes us smile. Whether you’re a newcomer or an avid fan of Lego titles, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is without a doubt the best episode of the license to date. We can only hope that the next games will continue to build on this momentum.

    The game is consistently funny and humorous. The camera and combat overhauls significantly improve the combat. The game has so much content packed into it. The maps are pretty big and fun to explore. When you explore the maps with different characters, it feels rewarding. Plenty of variety across set-pieces, story missions, puzzles and platforming. The iconic Star Wars locations are brought to life beautifully. The game is absolutely stunning in terms of graphics. It adapts well known movie scenes with brisk pacing and good humor.

    Bad-
    The story part is also a bit of bad. It over-condenses the key moments of the movies and kind of ruins the pacing a bit. Jumping sometimes feels a bit too floaty. The progression system feels meaningless.

    Thoughts-
    Even so, the sheer volume and density of content on offer here means that LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga can very easily distract you from its shortcomings and redirect you into a more enjoyable activity. With thousands of collectibles to find, hundreds of characters and ships to unlock, dozens of iconic locations brought to life with charming visuals and attention to detail, plenty of sizeable sandbox maps packed full of consistently enjoyable and addictive activities, and the sheer variety of on offer here, it’s impossible not to have a ton of fun with this game. From beginning to end and beyond, it is an absolute blast- and not just in the unambitious and mindless way that LEGO games have been in the past. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is genuinely big, fun, packed, and well-made in a way that has surprised me. The Force is strong with this one.    … Full Review »

That's when I hade just finished the prequel trilogy, but it seems they only got a third of the game right because after that it was the most boring game I have EVER played. it was always cover shooting for 5 minutes, and the guns in this game feels terrible. Only buy this if you are very patient and can stand shooting stormtroopers for ages behind cover.… Full Review »
