In the end, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a game that does its job well: it's fun, accessible, and true to the Star Wars universe. If you're a fan of the franchise or simply enjoy LEGO games, you'll definitely enjoy it. It introduces some interesting new features, but still follows the formula that has made the LEGO franchise a success over the years. If you liked the movie, you'll feel right at home here, and if you're not that into the style of the game, the long levels and simplicity of the gameplay might not be your thing.
