About LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
Traveller's Tales released LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga in April 2022 across PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC platforms. This title shifts the franchise formula by letting players tackle all nine main saga films in any order they prefer. Instead of a strict linear path, you pick an episode to unlock its unique open world hub filled with planets from that specific movie. The package includes 45 levels total across five missions per film. You control over 200 characters ranging from Jedi Knights to Wookiees. It stands as the most ambitious entry in the series by breaking away from previous constraints and offering a massive sandbox for fans of the franchise to explore at their own pace.
Gameplay
You navigate open world hubs where random events trigger unexpectedly. An Imperial Star Destroyer might drop out of hyperspace, forcing you to switch controls into a TIE Fighter for a dogfight before returning to ground combat. Story missions require you to solve environmental puzzles and defeat enemies using revamped systems. Lightsaber duels now feature distinct light attacks, heavy swings, and Force abilities rather than simple button mashing. Blaster characters use an over-the-screen camera angle typical of third-person shooters. You can switch between co-op and single-player modes with local split-screen support. The game demands you toggle character abilities to solve puzzles or access hidden areas while collecting studs to buy more toys in the hub.
What Players Think
Players on IGDB have rated this title an 81.4 out of 100 based on 130 reviews. The average playtime sits around 25 hours for main story completion, though completionists often spend over 60 hours chasing all collectibles and achievements. Community moods lean heavily toward positive with frequent mentions of the open world freedom being a major upgrade from older entries. Critics note that the combat overhaul feels fresh compared to previous linear installments. Some users mention the sheer number of playable characters as a highlight, while others point out occasional loading times between hubs. The price has dropped to $11.99 on Green Man Gaming, making it a popular purchase for those who missed the launch window.
PlayPile's Take
This game works best for players who want to revisit the Skywalker saga without following a strict chronology. It costs around $12 now, which is a solid deal given the 45 levels and over 200 characters included. You will unlock numerous achievements that require finding every collectible in each hub. The combat depth satisfies veterans even if the puzzles remain accessible for younger players. Avoid this only if you dislike open world maps or prefer strictly linear experiences. The split-screen co-op mode remains a strong selling point for local gaming sessions. Grab it while the price stays low.
