LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Review

Reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

"LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga provides some rollicking reimaginings of Star Wars' most iconic moments and seats them inside a series of interplanetary playgrounds that are dense with discovery and entertaining diversions. Certain elements like its upgrade and cover systems feel somewhat superfluous, and co-op has some notable drawbacks, but there were otherwise enough laugh out loud gags and surprising shifts in gameplay to keep me thoroughly engaged from the opening crawl of Episode I all the way through to the end of Episode IX - which is more than I can say for the actual movies."

A shame that Obi-wan vs Anakin isn't a duel between players, that was one of my favorite parts in Complete Saga

[Archivist]

Gonna be playing this for nostalgic bliss. Played the original Lego Star Wars, at the time the best co-op game I’d played. The Lego element is almost incidental to me

[sirin]

This is how it felt to play The Complete Saga back in the day

[Redacted]

A moment of silence for the droid that was about to leave for retirement

[eziotru]

It’s a bit disappointing that this game handles the Obi-Wan vs Anakin fight worse than the original did in co op. Having it be a 1v1 between the two players like the original could have made for a fun moment with all the new mechanics.

Lego games are so underrated. Some of the best games out there especially if you want a break from competitive grindy games

[vinnregi]

How LEGO Star Wars has more content than the new Battlefront games is beyond me.
Proof that when you have merit and care about the product, you can produce *quality*

PSA: In the settings, you can turn off automatic health recovery to make the game more challenging. The reviewer should have done this first before criticizing the difficulty.

Also, when you unlock the collectible detector skill, you can disable it so its less annoying

5:10 this moment alone makes the game worth it!

[cccrispsn]

This will be my first LEGO game. This game looks awesome!

*Maul:* “Wait! l was a lot more important to the Star Wars mythos!”
*SkywaIker Saga:* “Unfortunately for you, history wiII not see it that way.”

I’m gonna be honest. 7/10 for the story mode. They had 3 years to make this and the story mode is missing some iconic battles. Like you couldn’t even attack the second Death Star it was just a cutscene of lando blowing it up. And you couldn’t fly anakin and obiwans Star fighters and shoot ships and blow up the shields on grievous’s ship.

[sonygod]

you give CoD, Fifa and other milked half baked games a 9 or a 10 but this that developers had passion for without microtransaction and evolved the Lego games format you give it a 8. IGN cant be trusted.

[andreworders]

7:15 That's lame, in the complete saga Player 1 and 2 fought each other

[moistsparky]

Can we get this reviewer more often he’s great

[bigmac]

"A little something for everyone"
"Really makes you feel like you're a jedi"

[TMGxCoBrA]

No way they said ‘it’s too easy’ whilst reviewing a Lego game(mainly targeted towards kids)

[billygilmusic]

They gave this masterpiece of a game an 8/10 mostly bc of it being too easy when there is a no health regen option that he could've toggled in the settings to make the game more challenging. At the same time I've seen them give a CoD title a 10. How in the world aren't most of CoD's campaigns extremely easy? classic IGN being corporate sellouts

[thatoneginger]

Y’all are calling a game made for children “too easy”, that is the point bud. It isn’t strictly for adults

[nathannix]

-8 for the Anakin boss fight being Ai in co-op
