LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - Before You Buy

I think the skill tree being basically optional in the game is a good thing. You can progress through the story without using it all which is basically how the OG games played. Also you have the option to get the upgrades and make the game a little easier without breaking the game like collecting and using the red bricks did. Also from the gameplay it looks like the space ship sections are going to work like they did in the OG Battlefront 2. I’m so hyped for that

I put thousands of hours into lego star wars on the PS2 when I was a kid. This is the most excited I've been for a game in a long time.

[@NINJAWook]

"know before you buy" should include a few more critiques - multiplayer split screen has been downgraded. No dynamic split, the vertical split limits field of view (even just force lifting an option moved it out of your field of view immediately), there isn't a horizontal option. The zoomed in camera works for single player but even on a big screen in multiplayer your character takes up essentially 60% of the width of the FOV. My wife and I honestly couldn't play it for more than 30 minutes without a headache. We are looking to either return or just trade off playing single player. total shame.

[@coconutologist]

The various LEGO series continue to impress. They always seem to be made by people of genuine passion. The first one seemed like a flawed masterpiece, and everything since has just been a well made title brimming with the joy and passion of an enthusiastic team.

[@obi-wankenobi8446]

I think there are a couple of negatives you should have mentioned really. Main thing is the vertical splitscreen doesn't go well with the open world. It very much makes you tunnel visioned, you can see better if you sprint everywhere because it makes your character smaller on the screen. So a horizontal splitscreen would've been much better for the playstyle of the game as it'd give you a wider field of view. Another thing again is splitscreen, the camera angles can get really messed up in alot of situations, the camera angles weren't set up specifically for co-op play, anyone who's played the whole game co-op will know what I mean. The first two episodes don't have a proper level structure to them that the other episodes in the same game have. And in the OG Lego games you would go to a shop to buy things, which has been replaced with a UI Menu instead which I think removes some of the flavour, having a hub was much better. I really enjoy the game but the negative things need to be mentioned so the developers can notice potential fixes.

[@dionsmith2405]

I played the original trilogy as a kid on ps2 and the complete saga on wii when it came out, I even had wii lightsaber attachments. The thing I love about this new game though is how they don’t skip any details, even adding depth to short sequences in the movies

I got the game a few days ago and I’ve made the decision to just blow through the campaign first and then do collecting and all that side stuff after. I definitely recommend doing this because it won’t feel like a lot to do at every level and once you beat the game then go back at your own pace to do the collecting so you don’t overwhelm yourself.

I am honestly beyond surprised at the ambition of this game. This is by far the best Lego Star Wars game to date and the funny thing is, it's not even for the campaign. Well, at least not for me. Even the main campaign is seriously impressive though! They managed to fit all nine films into one package! Sure, the story levels tend to be relatively short, but some are longer than others. Even more impressive, however, is how they approached the planets! You have a galaxy full of explorable hub worlds, and they're all shockingly massive in size! Even the smaller ones are still packed with stuff to do and find! I honestly enjoy exploring these places more than the story campaigns! Comfort food, indeed! Fully explorable planets is one of the things I absolutely loved about Jedi Fallen Order, and I'm very happy to see it in a Lego Star Wars game! THE Lego Star Wars game! This was the first game I bought for Switch, and it's still giving me hours of content! I've fully explored all the planets up to Takodana, (I'm going in order of chronological appearence in the films...) which is the next one on the chopping block! Now they just need to do Lego Star Wars: The Clone Wars Saga! Or even Lego Star Trek! Seriously, Lego Star Trek should absolutely be a thing!
