Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a 2022 Lego-themed action-adventure game developed by Traveller’s Tales and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The game is the sixth in the Lego Star Wars series and the sequel to 2016’s Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens. If you liked the previous games in the series, you will surely enjoy this one too!
Story mode
The game’s story mode can be played as a single-player adventure, or as a co-op experience, or in both ways. Whether you play solo or with friends, the game’s replayability is a key aspect of this game. In fact, you’ll need to complete missions and levels several times to earn all of the game’s achievements. This mode is particularly helpful if you’re playing with family and friends.
As for the story mode, it is a bit different from the previous games. Players will have more control over gameplay thanks to its enhanced complexity. For example, the game’s Mumble mode replaces the dialogue with original LEGO audio. You’ll also be able to choose where to begin, and you can also choose your starting point. Unlike previous games, this mode lets you skip over dialogue and focus instead on the story.
Combat overhaul
While the game’s combat has undergone a significant overhaul, many of the classic elements from the previous LEGO games are still present. During the gameplay demo, James Burgon, Senior Producer of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, outlined a few key changes that make the game more fun to play. In addition, the game’s new physics system allows for more accurate melee attacks, and the game’s third-person view allows for a tighter, more detailed world.
The main changes in combat are a welcome addition to the game. While previous LEGO games relied on hub worlds, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga opens up the entire Star Wars universe for players to explore. The game’s crisp, modern aesthetic also adds a sense of scale. It’s the first LEGO game to have this feature. And while the game’s combat overhaul is a welcome change, it does lack some of the more strategic elements of the previous Lego games.
Open-world structure
While previous LEGO Star Wars games have required players to dismantle enemies and collect their bricks, The Skywalker Saga takes that concept a step further. You can reassemble broken pieces and discover new paths. The game also takes place in an open-world structure, with each planet having multiple linear levels and open areas filled with mini-games, environmental puzzles, and other challenges.
While the open-world structure is a positive aspect, it does have some drawbacks. Typically, open-world games lack a centralized hub, which makes them feel unorganized and tedious. For example, almost every planet has an open space. This can be a negative in some cases, but The Skywalker Saga doesn’t suffer from this issue. Moreover, each level is filled with a range of collectibles and side missions.
Graphics
While Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has good graphics, you might be having frame drops and lags. To fix this, open the Steam client, go to the Library, then to the Launch Options, and enable full screen. You can also set the game’s resolution to 1920×1080 if you like. You’ll find these options in the Quick Access Menu. To play the game in full screen, right-click on the start menu and choose Settings.
As with its predecessors, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has a nice graphical style. It’s crisp, charming, and massive. You can explore the game world in a variety of ways. There’s also good voice acting, and licensed Star Wars music. The combat system is responsive and enjoyable. If you’re a Star Wars fan, you’ll find the graphics in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga a welcome change.
Scope
Unlike its predecessors, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a much bigger, more immersive game. In addition to featuring all nine films, the game offers tons of side missions, fun mini-games, and a parkour course with Old Ben Kenobi. And while it may lack the level of depth that other LEGO Star Wars games provide, it’s still a solid game.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the movies, or just someone who enjoys playing games, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is definitely worth checking out. While it follows the basic formula of the popular Star Wars franchise, it is quite different from Super Mario Odyssey. The gameplay, however, remains the same. The difference lies in the scope of the game and how it executes the formula.
