Overview
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is disappointing, flat, and lacking in luster across its story, combat, puzzles, vehicle controls, and building mechanics, earning a 4.2 out of 10 rating without a recommendation.
The game features simplified film storylines with childish humor, tedious blaster and repetitive lightsaber combat, unchallenging terminal hacking puzzles, poor vehicle handling, and restrictive automated building mechanics limited to pre-set objects.
