About LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Traveller's Tales released LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens on June 27, 2016, to coincide with the film. This title adapts the movie for a wide range of systems including PlayStation 3 and 4, Xbox 360 and One, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, Vita, PC, Mac, and mobile devices. The story follows Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Kylo Ren, and others as they cross Jakku and Starkiller Base. It covers the entire film narrative while allowing players to control both heroes and villains. The game brings the iconic characters into a familiar LEGO universe where you can switch between them freely during missions.
Gameplay
Sessions involve switching characters to solve environmental puzzles using specific tools or abilities. You will explore open areas, destroy destructible objects for studs, and complete objectives. The Multi-Builds system lets you choose from different construction paths to progress through levels instead of following a single linear route. Combat shifts between standard melee attacks and the new Blaster Battles where you use cover and the environment to fight off First Order troopers. High-speed vehicle sections put you in dogfights across space or arenas using ships like the Millennium Falcon. You can play solo or team up with a friend locally on split screen to tackle these challenges together.
What Players Think
The PlayPile community rates this title moderately well with an IGDB score of 71.6 out of 100 based on 120 user ratings. Players spend an average amount of time completing the campaign, though only 21.7% of all achievements unlock on average. The most difficult task is "What He Was Programmed To," which only 3.10% of players have earned. Review snippets often mention the fun factor of character switching and vehicle sections but note that some puzzles feel repetitive. The community mood leans positive for fans of the franchise seeking a lighthearted adventure, while critics find the combat systems somewhat shallow compared to earlier entries in the series.
PlayPile's Take
This game is worth picking up if you want a short, accessible LEGO experience at a very low price. You can currently find it for as little as $3.09 on IndieGala. The 69 available achievements offer some replay value, especially hunting down that rare 3% unlock rate task. It suits casual players or those who just want to see the movie characters in action without deep complexity. The game is not a masterpiece but delivers exactly what it promises for the price point. Skip this if you need challenging combat mechanics or a long campaign.
