LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Reviews
It'll all feel very familiar if you've played a Lego game recently
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens still feels limited in nature, but it's a better, more pointed effort than Marvel's Avengers, which was all over the place. It might feel a little more stretched if you didn't go bonkers over Abrams' film, but if you're really anxious to hang out with Finn and the gang again, this is a good opportunity.
Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens doesn't take the Lego series to new places, but is still a solid and enjoyable romp for families and Star Wars fans.
Much like the film, this is more a testament to what worked before than a genuinely new experience, but it makes the best of its voice cast and an obvious love for Star Wars.
Always fun to watch, sometimes tedious to play alone. Star Wars and LEGO solidify their meaningful relationship once again. The developers just need to address a terrible save-game system, and need to clean up some of the bugs forcing reloads. But the LEGO video game formula is still the LEGO video game formula. Just be prepared to still be left wondering "What do I do now?" from time to time.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is not a LEGO game revolution, but the concept still works without issues. If you're tired of LEGO and Star Wars isn't your cup of tea, you should pass on this game.

LSWTFA is a fun, simple game with straight forward game mechanics that are a pleasure to play for fans, and many Lego veterans will be familiar with the game if they have played any other franchises under the lens of Lego.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is still a very solid game, with a lot of appeal for fans of action games looking to have some fun without having to learn a bunch of systems or battle an overly challenging difficulty curve. If you are a fan of the Star Wars source material? All the better - you will likely enjoy your time with the game even more. I applaud the team for doing some unique things with the game to try and change the pacing up and offer new systems to the players, though some of the innovations work better than others. Still, there is an undeniable charm to the classic gameplay, humorous situations and outstanding overall presentation both visually and from the voice actors.
Correlation of Star Wars lore as well as brand new information done exclusively for the game is well implemented. True LEGO charm, humor is hysterical and Chewbacca and his cookies are a must see.
With LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, TT Games managed to renew the old formula, adding interesting new mechanics to the game. Despite that, all the gags and the puzzles are really predictable.

At the end of the day, LEGO games are all about that compulsion for destruction and collection, very clearly notating completion percentage to let you know that there is still stuff to do. Of course we can't forget to mention the LEGO charm, keeping things lighthearted and silly when the source material may get too dark. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a solid LEGO experience — certainly in the top tiers as far as LEGO games are concerned — but still just a LEGO experience that isn't looking to change the status quo while bringing the heart and soul of a critically and commercially lauded film to your console, brick by expected brick.
TT Games' signature humour makes this otherwise predictable building brick adventure worth a spin – especially if you have a kid with whom to play
While it's not going to change your mind one way or another, often there are two types of LEGO game, and thankfully this firmly falls into the "good" pile.
Slowly but surely, the LEGO series tries to evolve, yet still failing to overhaul its gameplay. After a LEGO Marvel's Avengers full of good intentions but ultimately disappointing, regarding the open world and dubbing, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens offers a more coherent recipe. The semi-open world appears much more interesting thanks to sidequests, treasure and other things to find as well as more generally varied in environments. More rhythmic, a little nicer to look at, with the original music and voices, this title should appeal certainly fans of the saga as fans of the LEGO license.
Han Solo steals the show again, even in tiny minifig form.
If you still enjoy TT Games' Lego series, or if you want to bring a younger gamer into the fold, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a solid entry which helps to bring some lightheartedness (and new story content) to the film off which it is based.
LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is another good LEGO game, with delightful graphics and sounds. Gameplay, however, is not always engaging.

The combination of everyone's favorite childhood toy and the movie franchise that set the standard in movie production to this day create an enjoyable experience for gamers of all ages. Bringing back familiar aspects of previous LEGO games, and adding new gameplay like dogfights and blaster battles helps 'LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens' break franchise fatigue. Traveller's Tales has delivered their best game to date.
Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens succeeds as both a Lego game, and as a Star Wars game.
The Force Awakens haven’t made a great change in the series but it has some new elements which are fun to try. If this is your first or second LEGO game, you will completely enjoy this but if you have played many LEGO games, you may get bored of using the same formula.
