LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga provides some rollicking reimaginings of Star Wars’ most iconic moments and seats them inside a series of interplanetary playgrounds that are dense with discovery and entertaining diversions.
A wonderfully enthusiastic love letter to Lego, Star Wars, and video games in general, that goes above and beyond the call of duty in terms of the scale of the adventure, the attention to detail, and the sheer volume of content.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga doesn’t reinvent the wheel and the subject matter is limited because the narrative mostly adheres to the film trilogies (when can we get a Rebels LEGO game?), but it’s a fun way to relive them as an adult and show them to kids at the same time.

3DNews | Алексей Лихачев | 8 / 10 | 04-17-2022 | The same LEGO game as always, but with some new features that are too good to be forgotten in future LEGO titles. | Read review |
ACG | Jeremy Penter | Recommended | 04-03-2022 | Occasional glitches and some smaller space battle locations aside the game is impressive. The changes feel right in line for bringing in newcomers but they don’t alienate fans of the past lego titles.” | Read review |
Atomix | Alberto Desfassiaux | 75 / 100 | 04-06-2022 | 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. | Read review |
Attack of the Fanboy | Diego Perez | 4.5 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | Don’t let the LEGO license fool you. This is the Star Wars game we’ve all been waiting for. | Read review |
AusGamers | Steve Farrelly | 7 / 10 | 04-12-2022 | And each space has been generously designed from both a LEGO and franchise perspective, serving up some of the prettiest Star Wars locales in gaming to date. | Read review |
Bazimag | Sina Golabzade | 8.5 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | Almost everyone knows about Star Wars and LEGO toys and about as much people are in love with them so putting these two brands together seventeen years ago was one of the best strokes of genius in the history of video games. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the biggest and the most ambitious LEGO game so far and the final product is without a doubt one of the best , if not the best, LEGO games too. | Read review |
But Why Tho? | Mick Abrahamson | 8 / 10 | 04-10-2022 | LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga is a massive achievement for a beloved anthology franchise that needed to change. There are so many new welcome additions that I hope become staples for the future. But there are just as equal parts that felt unnecessary. These 3 years since the LEGO games last release and recent revelations were hopefully taken in as a learning experience | Read review |
Cerealkillerz | Julian Bieder | 8.6 / 10 | 04-06-2022 | A gaming series as old as LEGO video games has to reshape some of its mechanics to stay relevant. LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga did a formidable with that and therefore has become the new gold standard for all games of its kind. The experience is only troubled by the ubiquitous little puzzle games, which all feel the same and fill the vast space of the galaxy far far away… | Read review |
CGMagazine | Chris De Hoog | 8.5 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | With a dash more depth to its gameplay, and a lighter touch to its narrative, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga reinterprets the nine-film epic into a solid experience that all generations of fans will want to revisit. | Read review |
Checkpoint Gaming | Tom Quirk | 8 / 10 | 04-05-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is what all of the LEGO games have been building towards, if you’ll pardon the expression. With its huge open world with side quests, puzzles and secrets galore, it’s a great adventure game for players of all ages. If you’re a Star Wars fan, then the nostalgia trip and mountains of obscure characters and references they manage to sneak in here is a real treat. While the unimaginative script and missing character creator does hold it back somewhat compared to previous entries, from a gameplay and content standpoint, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the most ambitious LEGO game yet, and a must-have for Star Wars or LEGO fans out there in the galaxy. | Read review |
Chicas Gamers | Juanma Luengo | Recommended | 04-12-2022 | A highly enjoyable game although it does not suppose big step over the last LEGO games. The user interface has been well polished thanks to feedback received from previous games. If you are a big Star Wars fan, this is a must play and probably you will love the humour and the big chunk of contents that the game offers. | Read review |
COGconnected | Jacob Greenwood | 80 / 100 | 04-04-2022 | Overall Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is simply fun. It isn’t a super complex, deep, and difficult gaming experience. And that is perfectly great. It nails exactly what it is trying to do. Bring some life to a beloved galaxy and fill it with things to do while also being funny and charming. Players get to see, and play as, their favourite characters from across all three trilogies and relive that magic in a stress-free adventure. | Read review |
Cultured Vultures | Zack Stout | 7 / 10 | 04-11-2022 | Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a blindingly bright love letter to the entire series with a sheen that’s often diminished by its own technical shortcomings. | Read review |
Daily Mirror | Eugene Sowah | 4 / 5 stars | 04-05-2022 | Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a fine return form for the Lego game series, the massive changes to gameplay are fully welcomed. The level of depth in the overall design and recreation of Star Wars lore is phenomenal. There’s so much content within this game, that the completionist will be busy for a while, let’s just hope there is additional DLC on top of what is coming, that will explore the upcoming series. | Read review |

Digital Trends | Tomas Franzese | 3 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has lots of ambition but lacks focus. | Read review |
DualShockers | Dean James | 8.5 / 10 | 04-05-2022 | 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. | Read review |
EGM | Marc Camron | 8 / 10 | 04-08-2022 | 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. | Read review |
Eurogamer | Tom Phillips | Recommended | 04-04-2022 | I enjoyed my journey through the three Lego Star Wars trilogies, though I hit one progression-blocking bug in Episode 2 which meant I’m still unable to see that set of films through. (TT Games has told me this is being fixed in an upcoming patch but, if you’re reading this, please also add an option to restart a level in progress!) For the most part, the game’s film retellings are humourous if simple fun | Read review |
Everyeye.it | Gabriele Laurino | 8.5 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | 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. | Read review |
FingerGuns | Rossko Keniston | 9 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is an absolute celebration of a galaxy far, far away. TT Games have been at this one for a long, long time and now we absolutely know why. They’ve made perhaps the most complete, expansive and nerf-herdin’ entertaining Star Wars game there’s ever been. Didn’t think they could pull this off? I find your lack of faith disturbing. | Read review |
Game Informer | Andrew Reiner | 8 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | Despite being periodically uneventful, the Skywalker Saga is a thorough and fun examination of all three Star Wars movie trilogies. It delivers the same sensation of being overwhelmed as opening a Blu-Ray collection of films and not knowing which one you should start with. | Read review |
Game Rant | Anthony Taormina | 4 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is easily the best compilation that TT Games has put together. Visually stunning, mechanically evolved, and endlessly entertaining, the game puts its foot on the gas and never lets off. Pacing issues and simplicity aside, the fact that the devs could revisit games they literally already made and make this package feel fresh is an accomplishment all its own. No matter how players might feel about the stories of the three trilogies, it’s hard to argue this is the best video game representation of them that just so happens to be LEGO. | Read review |
Game Revolution | Paul Tamburro | 3.5 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga providing such a huge toybox of characters, worlds, vehicles, and more to unlock and play will make it essential for many Star Wars fans. In terms of sheer scale, size, and scope, this is far beyond anything Traveller’s Tales have put out before with the LEGO brand. Unfortunately, some of that ambition is undermined by the lackluster implementation of certain ideas that are supposed to be its big selling points, such as its improved combat and new camera angle. This is arguably not quite the Star Wars game you’re looking for, but it does more than enough right. | Read review |
Gameblog | Camille Allard | 8 / 10 | 04-07-2022 | 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. | Read review |
GameGrin | Samiee Tee | 7 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | Traveller’s Tales return to the LEGO fray is a double-edged sword of good intentions, and the over-complication of its famous brand of gameplay. At its best, The Skywalker Saga sees itself touching greatness it hasn’t seen since the seventh generation of gaming. | Read review |
GamePro | Stephan Zielke | 84 / 100 | 04-05-2022 | Familiar-looking Lego adventure that can score with a large scope and great attention to detail. | Read review |
Gamerheadquarters | Jason Stettner | 9.2 / 10 | 04-07-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the next generation LEGO game we’ve been waiting for that overhauls the experience completely while telling the full story of the Star Wars franchise. | Read review |
Gamers Heroes | Blaine Smith | 8 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | I didn’t dive into LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga expecting to have a lot of fun, but that’s exactly what I had: a lot of fun. The witty writing is well timed and expertly delivered, reliving the events of the Star Wars franchise was a welcomed nostalgia trip. Even after completing the game, I woke up excited to dive in and explore more worlds, solve more puzzles, and unlock more characters. | Read review |
GameSkinny | David Restrepo | 7 / 10 | 04-08-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga still has some of the Lego charm, but it’s a step back for the series. | Read review |
GameSpace | Chris Bowman | 9.5 / 10 | 04-20-2022 | Overall, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a homerun for the Star Wars gaming community. With a couple of exceptions I spoke about in my review this is a solid game. | Read review |
GameSpew | Kim Snaith | 8 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | Ultimately, whether you’re a Star Wars fan or a LEGO fan – or even better, both – you’re going to find a lot to love here. | Read review |
GameSpot | Alessandro Barbosa | 7 / 10 | 04-06-2022 | Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga’s refreshed mechanics and gorgeous worlds provide enough incentive to revisit the three trilogies again, despite some repetitive content. | Read review |
GamesRadar+ | Justin Towell | 4.5 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | A breathtakingly expansive and authentic recreation of the core Star Wars universe in LEGO. Its gameplay is predictably simplistic at times, but literally everything else is stellar. At last, THIS is the droid you are looking for. | Read review |
GameWatcher | Neil Bolt | 7.5 / 10 | 04-07-2022 | Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga does a fine job of reinvigorating the Lego game formula, even if it continues to be mired in gargantuan amounts of busywork. Most importantly, however, it’s a highly entertaining Star Wars spectacle that brings humor and joy in Sarlaac-sized portions. | Read review |

Gaming Nexus | Eric Hauter | 8.5 / 10 | 04-09-2022 | Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is impressive in every sense. From the tight, scripted story gameplay to the sprawling open world, every piece of this game feels lovingly crafted. While the Switch version feels a bit dated, that’s not the fault of the developer, which squeezed an impressive performance from Nintendo’s handheld. This is a game with enough fresh content to keep players coming back for years to come. | Read review |
GamingBolt | Shubhankar Parijat | 9 / 10 | 04-06-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga retains the simplicity, charm, and humour of past LEGO games and blends them with some significant gameplay improvements and expansions, delivering a robust, densely packed, and delightful experience. | Read review |

Generación Xbox | Gabriel Fuentes | 8.9 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | 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. | Read review |
God is a Geek | Chris White | 7.5 / 10 | 04-05-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is filled with some good ideas and some nice mechanics. Despite looking amazing and feeling authentic, the camera angles and repetitive gameplay will grate on some people. | Read review |

Hey Poor Player | Shane Boyle | 4.5 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | The Skywalker Saga is a triumphant return to form for TT Games. Covering all nine big screen Episodes in one game has presented players with a Star Wars sandbox like no other. With meaningful developments in the gameplay department and a level of immersion that surpasses not only all LEGO games that have come before but all Star Wars games also, this is a title to treasure for Star Wars fans and lovers of collectathons alike. | Read review |

IGN Italy | Marco Esposto | 8.5 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | The biggest LEGO videogame ever made dips the players in a cohesive Star Wars experience. In terms of gameplay, innovations are not to be expected, as the LEGO formula is well established and it’s still working. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is easy to pick, fun to play alone or along a friend/kid and a mandatory experience for any Star Wars and LEGO fan. | Read review |

It’s certainly a cheaper way to enjoy a bunch of Lego sets with the ability to play through your favourite parts of the Star Wars films. | Read review |

MonsterVine | Spencer Legacy | 4.5 / 5 stars | 04-08-2022 | Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a triumphant celebration of both Star Wars and Lego games up to this point. It has some bugs and wonky voice acting, but the incredibly expanded gameplay, ridiculous breadth of content, and clear love for Star Wars present in every facet of the game make this a must-play for fans of the franchise or just chill, fun games in general. | Read review |

NintendoWorldReport | John Rairdin | 7 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | Perhaps start with the prequels so that if you encounter this issue, you’ll only lose a little progress as opposed to half the game. Though it should be noted that I did have the desire to push on. There are plenty of games where a bug like this would have simply stopped me from playing, and while I won’t lie and say it didn’t hurt my opinion, I still ultimately made the decision to start again and push past it. | Read review |
NoobFeed | Yagmur Sevinc | 90 / 100 | 04-16-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is an experience that is sure to please almost every Star Wars fan out there despite the setbacks, and this is exactly what everyone needed after the notorious trilogy. | Read review |
Paste Magazine | Charlie Wacholz | 8 / 10 | 04-11-2022 | Skywalker Saga is no different, and its unabashed enjoyment of Star Wars is infectious. Even as an un-lapsed fan, I felt my admiration and passion for this rich world surge the same way visiting Galaxy’s Edge or a good episode of Clone Wars would. A simple beat-’em-up with a few puzzles and John Williams’ masterful music doing a lot of the heavy lifting would be fine. Instead, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga doesn’t just go above and beyond to remind you why you should love Star Wars, but is a testament to how much the people who made it love Star Wars. | Read review |

PlayStation LifeStyle | Cameron Teague | 7.5 / 10 | 04-06-2022 | 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. | Read review |
PlayStation Universe | David Carcasole | 7 / 10 | 04-06-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga does a lot of things right that make it the best LEGO Star Wars game, and LEGO game to date. But it’s level structure and pacing leave something to be desired more often than not, and co-op play has seemingly gotten far less care and attention than it deserved, putting a damper on what is otherwise a hilarious and fun experience. | Read review |
Press Start | Adam Mathew | 8.5 / 10 | 04-05-2022 | When the twin suns set on my time with LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga, it was obvious to me that this production is lavished with love and worth every stud of its asking price. I’ve been around the block(s) with TT’s games for some 15 years now, and this is without a doubt the best thing they’ve ever snapped together. If you’re a gamer who’s young or young-at-heart-container, I’d be very surprised if this didn’t instantly click with you. | Read review |
PSX Brasil | Paulo Roberto Montanaro | 80 / 100 | 04-04-2022 | Although it brings many of the elements that are so characteristic of other games based on the famous building blocks, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga offers good refinements in its mechanics, is visually spectacular and condenses well, even with some haste, the story of the nine main films of the movie franchise with a lot of charm and good humor. | Read review |

Saving Content | Ed Acosta | 5 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | I have been having a ball with this game; the new combat has made things much more fluid and exciting, the in-game puzzles are still easy yet thought-inducing, and the excellent new upgrade system and unlocks got me itching to dive back into the game to unlock more and more. The Skywalker Saga was first announced in 2019 and has had a delay or two to get to this point, including an unfortunate crunch cycle that the devs have had to deal with. But those delays have paid off. The developers at TT Games have crafted a top-tier LEGO title full of polish and one that has gotten its hooks in me all over again. | Read review |
Screen Rant | Jamie Russo | 4.5 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | The world of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is massive and full of puzzles, collectibles, side missions, and hilarious takes on classic stories. | Read review |
SECTOR.sk | Oto Schultz | 9 / 10 | 04-05-2022 | Skywalker saga is a blocky nostalgic masterpiece that not only outbuilt every Lego game ever but perfected the established formula. Due to the ambition of reimagining all nine movies, the story sometimes suffers. However, it never fails to rekindle the child inside of you and gently persuades you into buying yet another Lego set. | Read review |
Shacknews | Donovan Erskine | 9 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the definitive LEGO Star Wars experience.

Sirus Gaming | Lexuzze Tablante | 10 / 10 | 04-17-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga reinvents the LEGO video game formula and revitalizes the entire franchise with something much more than what its predecessors offered.

The Games Machine | Gabriele Barducci | 8.7 / 10 | 04-08-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a notable step forward for TT Games, which renews its game formula, with an impressive amount of content and new mechanics to play with.

The Outerhaven Productions | Kyle Simcox | 3.5 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a good remastering of the LEGO Star Wars games of the past, giving a more extended version of each game in addition to updating the graphics for each story. However, this is showing that the LEGO formula itself is becoming dated when all it can do is add a fresh coat of paint to a series of games that we have seen done to death by this point, including the beginning of the Rey Trilogy. | Read review |
TheSixthAxis | Dominic Leighton | Recommended | 04-04-2022 | While we’re not pinning a score on it yet, it’s already clear though that The Skywalker Saga is the finest Lego game ever created. It’s an example of what’s possible when you combine a hugely talented development team with a property that they know inside and out, and it further cements Traveller’s Tales’ Lego games as an essential part of the gaming landscape. | Read review |
Thumbsticks | Daniel New | 3.5 / 5 stars | 04-12-2022 | Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a thrill for the senses and will frequently tickle your nostalgia bone.

TrueAchievements | Luke Albiges | 4.5 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | There’s a strong case to be made for Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga being the best Lego game to date, with a massive variety of gameplay styles, oodles of additional content, and that perfectly pitched playfulness that evens out the highs and lows of the Star Wars main series into a uniformly entertaining experience. The whistle-stop nature of the translation from silver screen to video game means that die-hard fans could find that some of their favourite scenes don’t make the cut, but it’s generally a rock-solid playable summary of all nine movies, all wrapped up in that typical Lego charm. | Read review |
Twinfinite | Dylan Chaundy | 4 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | 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. | Read review |
VG247 | James Billcliffe | Recommended | 04-04-2022 | Really, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is all the action from the Star Wars series, swaddled in the slapstick silliness LEGO has become known for in entertainment. While it’s not a 1-to-1 retelling and your favourite moment might have been left in the toy chest, it’s a knowing showcase of Star Wars’ place in pop culture – memes and all – in a deep, but accessible package. | Read review |
VGC | Jordan Middler | 5 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | It feels like TT knows that this is very likely its last chance to do this series justice, and it’s not only done that, it’s created what is the very best Lego game, and frankly, one of the best Star Wars games that has ever been made. | Read review |
Video Chums | A.J. Maciejewski | 8.5 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | After a few years of being in development, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was definitely worth the wait as it single-handedly revitalizes the LEGO formula for a modern audience. I can’t wait to see what other licenses will get this treatment down the road. | Read review |
VideoGamer | Josh Wise | 6 / 10 | 04-07-2022 | There just isn’t enough juice in the combat, the cover shooting, or the endless hoovering of collectibles. | Read review |
Washington Post | Teddy Amenabar | Not Recommended | 04-05-2022 | 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. | Read review |
WayTooManyGames | Leonardo Faria | 9 / 10 | 04-10-2022 | A few annoying issues here and there may tarnish its overall quality a little bit, but boy, did Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga deliver. I was expecting for it to be great, but wasn’t expecting for it to basically rival Super Mario Odyssey in terms of charm and amount of collectibles. | Read review |
Wccftech | Nathan Birch | 8 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | 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. | Read review |
We Got This Covered | Ryan Galloway | 4.5 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | While it isn’t quite perfect, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has plenty of new tricks to match its stunning visuals. | Read review |
WellPlayed | Adam Ryan | 8.5 / 10 | 04-11-2022 | Improvements on the already entertaining LEGO formula such as a tighter perspective and reworked combat systems make The Skywalker Saga’s retelling of the nine mainline Star Wars films a blast for fans of all ages. | Read review |
Windows Central | Rebecca Spear | 4 / 5 stars | 04-04-2022 | If you’re a fan of the Star Wars series you will love the humorous twist LEGO puts on your favorite characters from another Galaxy far far away. All nine movies are in the game and you can play any trilogy in any order. Plus, the game offers plenty of replay value to keep you entertained for hours. | Read review |
Worth Playing | Chris “Atom” DeAngelus | 8.5 / 10 | 04-04-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga genuinely hits the mark. It’s a love letter to the nine main movies in the Star Wars franchise, and it feels like something that’s made for anyone to enjoy, whether their favorite movie is “The Phantom Menace” or “The Rise of Skywalker.” It doesn’t reinvent the wheel as far as LEGO games go, but it’s darn fun with a load of content that is sure to keep fans happy for a long time. | Read review |
Xbox Achievements | Richard Walker | 80 / 100 | 04-04-2022 | What could have so easily been a retread of previous LEGO Star Wars games, has more than its fair share of new ideas. The Skywalker Saga offers a greatest hits compilation of all nine films, wrapped up in signature knockabout comedy, with enjoyable and uncomplicated, though sometimes slightly dull, gameplay. Bottom line is, I’m a sucker for a LEGO Star Wars game. Sign me up. Again. | Read review |
ZTGD | Ken McKown | 9 / 10 | 04-20-2022 | LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is simply incredible. If you are like me and have grown tired of the series, it is time to jump back in. This is such a fresh take on the series that it feels like an entirely new game. The level of polish visually and care put into this version feels like they truly went back to the drawing board and created the ultimate LEGO game. I hope this is not their last attempt at the series. I would love a full-on DC or Marvel game in this style. Still this is a must for LEGO fans, a must for Star Wars fans, and truly a must for anyone who enjoys great video games. | Read review |
About LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a third-person action-adventure with an open world hub. Unlike previous Lego games in which players had to advance through the story in a linear order, players can now choose to start the game from any of the main Skywalker Saga episodes and complete them in any order they wish. Each episode has their own hub filled with planets featured prominently in each respective film that can be visited and explored. Each episode will have five story missions each, a total of 45 levels. Combat has also been revamped, such as lightsaber fights now involving a variety of combos with light attacks, heavy attacks, and Force moves, and blaster characters having an over-the-shoulder camera angle featured in many third-person shooter games. Random encounters will also happen in the game’s hub. For example, an Imperial Star Destroyer will suddenly jump out of hyperspace and send a fleet of TIE Fighters after the player. Players can choose to engage in dogfights with them or continue onward to progress the story. The game will have more than 200 playable characters, though TT Games has said that number will change.
