Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Reviews
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga sets its sights sky-high and largely does justice to that galaxy far, far away. Its truncated treatment of the movies occasionally disappoints, but charming, content-packed sandbox stages mostly make up for any story mission shortcomings. This blocky take on George Lucas' family drama is worth enjoying with yours.
Overall, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Galactic Edition is a strong game in the series. Those who didn't pick up the Skywalker Saga normal release earlier this year will find some enjoyment at the inclusion of a new set of characters, particularly those from Star Wars TV shows, although it's nothing essential for those who already own the game. The changes to the LEGO formula are a bit hit and miss, but in general land well - hopefully there will be a tweak to how the co-op works for future releases, though.
The sheer scope of Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is tough to comprehend, but it means that fans of the series (and Lego games in general) will have enough content to keep them engaged for quite some time. With fun, accessible gameplay, stunning graphics and incredible attention to detail, it’s hard to imagine a better homage to the Star Wars series than what Traveller’s Tales has achieved here.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga packs the nine, mainline films into a galaxy-spanning, kid-friendly, open-world toybox.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is an ambitious game that brings all nine numbered Star Wars movies together for the first time. Filled with story and side missions, large open hubs, minigames, and literally hundreds of characters to unlock, Skywalker Saga hits nearly every beat while maintaining the brick-smashing, object-building, puzzle-solving action the Lego games are known for. Filled with irreverent humor and little Easter eggs around every corner, this game is the perfect way to revisit everyone's favorite sci-fi family saga.
LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga is a game for kids and adults with a greater interest for the younger ones in terms of game mechanics. For adults, it's mainly the Star Wars fan service side that will be the best part of experience.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the forbidden dream of any fan of the franchise created by Lucas, as long as you accept the compromise of an extremely accessible and uninspiring production on the Challenge front.

I can recommend the purchase of this game for such a large audience that I'm not quite sure how to name it. If you like Star Wars, buy the game to relive the entire saga in a unique way, if you like Lego, buy the game to have in digital blocks the best Star Wars experience that has been made to date in Lego, and / or if you have children, this can become an incredible gift that will keep you entertained for a long time, long time.

Familiar-looking Lego adventure that can score with a large scope and great attention to detail.

The Star Wars fandom has already realized that more does not always mean better. “The Skywalker Saga” has a lot of heart, but I could have done without the superfluous leveling system or paper thin open-worlds. Part of me will always enjoy watching Qui-Gon Jinn slice up droids on the streets of Naboo. “The Skywalker Saga” is a beautiful nod to that nostalgia. Beyond that, I’m still stuck on a final question. You have to wonder whether, for those managing the game, the end product equates to time well spent during development.
As I already told you, in case you have never liked Lego games for any reason, I see very complicated that Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is going to change your perception, because despite its great ambitions and how it is that it refined some of the parts of the formula with which Traveller's Tales makes video games, we are still facing a title with very poor combat mechanics, puzzles without much soul and in general, a boring gameplay difficult to enjoy thanks to an unclear language at times. Would you recommend this product to anyone? Of course. If you are one of those who find value in Lego games, you will love it, in addition to the fact that of course, as a Star Wars fan, there are extremely special and very enjoyable moments.

LEGO Stars Wars: The Skywalker Saga does a great job of giving everyone the LEGO world they love, with some nice tweaks to the formula that’s been in place for a while. It’s not a perfect game of course, with some camera and AI issues, along with signature TT Games glitches that plague parts of the game. However it’s still a good game and one of the best LEGO games to date. Perfect for kids and adults alike, there is something here for everyone and enough to keep you around for a while, especially if you want to collect everything. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a great first build on the PlayStation 5.
LEGO games have found a very unique niche in gaming and yet have still managed to continue to get better and better. Even though it likely will not change the minds of those who do not enjoy the LEGO series of games, the stellar presentation, humor, and overall joy found in these recreations of each movie make LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga one well worth picking up.
Overall, while LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is more of an evolution of the franchise than a full on revolution, it’s still quite possibly the definitive Star Wars video game collection right now, not only from a content perspective, but from an authenticity and a fun factor perspective as well. Equally charming as it is nostalgic, it’s a wonderful experience, especially for those with a soft spot for that galaxy far, far away.
While it isn't quite perfect, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has plenty of new tricks to match its stunning visuals.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has lots of ambition but lacks focus.
Altogether, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the best LEGO game I’ve played in years. It rightly innovates far beyond the standardised formula that this series has built over the years with some fresh ideas. With such strong source material, however, there are so many sequences that feel hung out to dry.
