LEGO STAR WARS THE SKYWALKER SAGA MOVIE

Outside of story missions you can explore 24 iconic Star Wars planets, some with multiple large, sidequest-filled hubs. Co-op is drop-in, drop-out, but it does not support online play so 2-player local split screen is the only option.

Boss encounters are bigger set pieces that elevate the mash-heavy combat slightly, but it’s all quite forgiving and death respawns you immediately with only a loss of currency as a penalty. Despite the wide assortment of activities, each section feels fun. You’ll need to solve puzzles to unlock doors, platform through hazardous areas, speed around in chase sequences, dogfight in space, and duke it out with blasters or lightsabers at a regular clip. The pacing of gameplay sections is excellent and places you at the heart of iconic set pieces with a wide variety of mechanics thrown at you. Some are better than others, but overall it allows for more Lego humor to shine through in the dialog. They are all fully voiced by soundalikes or voice actors from previous animated shows. The cutscenes that play throughout story missions are all well-produced and deal out exposition efficiently, but they may jump around a little too quickly for someone who’s not already familiar with the movies. I found many of the ways the game chose to censor some of the more mature aspects of the plot to be fun commentary on the events themselves, like Anakin and Padme sharing a bunk bed.
