Best Star Wars Videogames of the Last 20 Years
Videogames based on movies often get a bad rap, but those based on the Star Wars universe have largely bucked the trend. Fans are spoiled for choice—there’s a wide selection of excellent titles across a number of genres. Here are the 25 best Star Wars games from the last two decades, as rated by the critics (and our unique Metascore).
Note: For the purposes of this list, we excluded Star Wars pinball titles and games with fewer than seven reviews. (And if a game was released on more than one platform, we included the version that received the largest number of reviews from critics.)
(tied for #18) This family-friendly game—the first ever set in the Lego Star Wars universe—centers around the Star Wars prequel trilogy. You can control 56 different characters, reliving the most important scenes from the movies in any order you wish.
Writes IGN’s Jeremy Dunham in his review: “It has everything a family-oriented title needs: it has personality, puzzles, cooperative modes, replay value, low violence, a lack of frustrating difficulty, and most importantly, it has Darth Vader.”
