LEGO® Star Wars™: The Skywalker Saga

Story: Like in the original LEGO Star Wars, this is an abridged retelling of the previous 6 episodes along with the new Sequel Trilogy, with some gags and in-jokes and memes thrown in. Unlike the original 2 games and their complete edition, the entire movie is redone even if each episode only has 5 levels, every important plot point is in the game including Anakin killing the Tusken Raiders or Yoda vs Palpatine to name some examples. Though they did cut main villain Tarkin from “A New Hope” but kept the old First Order guy from “RoS” All the characters are talking now which I don’t mind though I think some of the jokes are a bit too fast pace like the death Qui-Gon Jin which I get the joke but went by so quickly. Of course there are just as many jokes that are really good like the reveal that Padme is the queen and there is a follow up to it at least twice. But the big question is “How does the sequel Trilogy hold up in LEGO?” Pretty good for the most part. Due to being abridged, most of the fluff got cut or shortened but still keeps the main plot of those films and reminded me why I enjoyed them...Except for Rise of Skywalker. RoS is such a bad story in its core that not even having the LEGO treatment can salvage it. It’s obvious the root of the problem is that Palpatine shows up to take the role of Big Bad from Kylo so he can have an undeserved redemption arc and the story has to rush and bend to make the story about stopping Palpatine and forcing a connection between him and Rey when her just being some kid who was abandoned by her parents was perfect. And everyone agrees that he ruins the previous movies just by existing. Also Rey should’ve had a dual blade lightsaber since it fits her fighting style, starts dating BB-8 and she should have been adopted by Chewbacca. Gameplay: Lets start with the basic gameplay. There are 7 main classes(okay, there’s actually 9 but the Light and Dark side are the same while Extra is just full of, well, extras) with some skills that overlap like heroes, astromechs and hunters can use grapple hooks and you use these skills to get through the levels and look for bricks, money and other collectibles. But that’s normal for LEGO games so lets talk about the combat. Lightsaber is mostly button mashing with the occasional dodge roll and force push to stop a block. And as basic as it is, it’s really fun. It’s fun picking up objects and foes and hurling them at enemies, it’s fun controlling an enemy and blasting their friends. And while most of the bosses are fought the same way, the fights are really good and actually feel like sword fights with the dodging and waiting for openings to strike. And then there’s the gun combat which is really good, even when you have a simple blaster, is good to use and the enemies use and build cover and have a variety of different weapons like mini-guns or rockets. Though if you want the full arsenal, you’ll have to be a villain or wear a disguise to use grenades and to open boxes with the other guns like a machine gun or a flamethrower. And then there’s using your ship to fly around in space and it’s pretty good. Simple to use and the challenges aren’t too hard. Though I did find trying to talk to other ships to be annoying since they kept pushing me away when I got too close and some ships are just not suited or able to do ship combat at all. Before I move on, I should mention the accessibility options for a bit. Just some basic things like Subtitles, screen effects, mission markers, losing money for fall damage, or health recovers on its own. Just stuff to make the game easier but have the option to turn off. And theres aim assist which makes it easier to shoot at things with lock on features and homing shots. I had half of these settings off since I’m an adult who’s played a good many shooters and aside from that one level where you have a car chase with the assassin which was annoying cause she’s small target and the car’s bullets are weak. But on the other hand, having them off made the dogfight with Jango Fett one of the best boss fights and made me wish there were bosses in space that weren’t battle ships. But then we get to Endor The Line, which was fine at first but after a while, the road disappears, you fall of the edge of the map and have to restart. Hate to say to say it but this game is really glitchy and crashes a lot. I lost count on how many crashes I had during my play-though and I was worried I wasn’t able to 100% it. Now I don’t want to end this section on a negative note so lets talk about the levels. There are two types of levels in this game: Story levels which mainly where you have set pieces and bosses fights like the pod race or a stealth level which ends with a fight with a rancor. I was actually surprised on how short these levels are and I don’t mind this. Stops the levels from dragging. Plus most levels (septically in FreePlay mode) have multiple paths you can take like you could take one route that lets you drive a vehicle or you could take another which focus more on shooting. And some are very open like the Hoth level where you can do the level in any order as long as all three sections are done. And then there are the free-roam levels which reminded me of levels from Super Mario Odyssey. Aside from connecting the story with fetch quests, escort missions and mini bosses, you can find Kyber Bricks and Ships in nooks, cranny's, boxes and puzzles, as well as side missions for new characters like Gonk Droid and evil Gonk Droid. I like these a lot since it though I did find it annoying how you have to go to other planets to do some missions or finish ones on other planets to unlock others I also felt the Scoundrel class got shafted in these free roaming levels as their main gimmick besides having a charge shot is to shot purple object to start chain reactions, and there isn’t anything like that in Free-Roam so Scoundrels are almost redundant in your party. But what do the Kyber Bricks do in this Collectathon. Collectibles are meant to get players to do challenges and be rewarded with progression but the levels are unlocked as you play the story naturally so what do the Bricks do? Upgrades. At anytime you can buy an upgrade for your class or just in general like making people afraid of the Sith, money rewards for hacking as well as a skip button, basic attack and health upgrades or even C3-PO being able to make a shock wave when he splits in have. One thing I find very considerate is the option to turn off these upgrades if you find the game too easy or find the perk frustrating like the Scoundrels charge shot which I turned off cause I prefer my blaster going pew-pew. Presentation: The LEGO models have come a long way since the first games release. Hair is more accurate, outfits are more detailed and you can play as a naked C3-PO now(or is he skin less). Environments are good too. They managed to make each location look different even if they have similar themes, like how you can explore two cities on Tatooine which are different with one being filled with narrow streets and the other has more wide open areas. Got some good map design in general like the casino planet has you going uphill till you reach the casino or Threed has a north and south section divided by a river. Though I would say Endor was annoying to navigate since it’s very vertical 7/10

One of my favorite LEGO games! As someone who grew up playing the older LEGO Star Wars games, The Skywalker Saga manages to still hold on to the charm that made those older games special, while also making many changes for the better. Obtaining 100% on The Skywalker Saga is by far one of the hardest of all of the LEGO games. It’s not difficult by any means, instead the challenge of the 100% comes purely from the amount of content there is to comb through. Easily recommend for fans of LEGO and/or Star Wars!

 Joguei muito a trilogia clássica no PS2 e tenho muita nostalgia daquela época. Agora estou podendo jogar esse com meu filho e está sendo memorável. Recomendo muito para os pais e filhos que gostem de Lego, parabéns à equipe Lego e toda a Steam.

游戏是好游戏，就是有没有大手子帮帮忙，rog x掌机（win11）上无法运行是什么原因？验证完整性，重装，管理员运行，WIN7兼容，关闭触屏都试过了，就是打开游戏直接一两帧，CPU GPU占用只有百分之几，卡一会退回桌面。我用的体感助手锁功耗和帧率（18W 60帧）有关系吗

disappointing

Jogaço, aprendi muito nele menô, so e cansativo fazer tudo nele por isso nao platineiop NOTA GERAL : 9/10

1-3 эпизод - симулятор беги до катсцены 4 - 6 попытка сделать игру, но тухло 7 - 9 разрабы забили на уровни и как будто специально их сделали нудными dlc - вообще помойка, в них добавили персонаженей, но нет никакого желания после сюжета что либо перепроходить графика лучше, чем в прошлой версии лучше перепройти the clone wars, чем играть в это

The Skywalker Saga was very enjoyable! Gameplay was different to other Lego games I've played and was refreshing. Graphics are really nice especially the reflections and texture details close up, while also running great without any hiccups. Many silly jokes and puns befitting a Lego game. I don't know much about Star Wars but it's peaked my interest in the Star Wars franchise. Would recommend!

i like the game and love everything except that the levels are mostly short and i recommend playing on controller because some levels are harder with a mouse, the game can be completed with an mouse but it would be harder (only starship levels are harder i had to use ctrl and alt to use my mouse).

palpatine says "execute order 67" in this and its the funniest ♥♥♥♥ ever
