Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the latest in a series of Star Wars-themed games where you run, jump, break and build worlds made of Lego. You work your way through all nine of the Star Wars films unlocking new locations and characters as you go. It stands out for the humorous retelling of the stories and how good it is to play cooperatively in the family.
Item 1 of 3
Play is similar to other Lego video games. You switch between characters to access different abilities and solve puzzles at each level. This time you have the option to string different attacks together to form combo chains and fend off oncoming attacks. There are also more precise shooting controls as well as some piloting sections.
As you progress you explore the galaxy map and steadily unlock planets. During space travel, there are dog fights to win and asteroids to avoid in classic vehicles like the Millennium Falcon, Imperial Tie fighters and Rebel X-wings.
It's a tongue-in-cheek slapstick rendition of the beloved films that fans will appreciate. As with other Lego games you are rewarded for finding special bricks (Kyber Bricks) to unlock new features and upgraded abilities across a range of character classes. This leads to playing as iconic characters like Leia, Yoda, Boba Fett, Darth Maul, Poe and over three hundred more.
