When it comes to the actual story missions, it’s surprising how much variety TT Games has been able to inject into each, especially since the basic gameplay still largely consists of solving simple environmental puzzles and breaking stuff.
!/en-us/games/lego-star-wars-the-force-awakens/cid=UP1018-CUSA03372_00-LEGOFORCEAWAKENS Source: TT Games has always gone above and beyond when it comes to fan service and Lego The Force Awakens doesn’t disappoint in this area. It’s a bit of an unnecessary diversion considering we already got to play through the events of RotJ in Lego Star Wars II, but this focus on filling in gaps in the story of The Force Awakens pays dividends later on, as you get to play through chapters that tell you how C-3PO got his arm, for instance. This was clearly done to help fill in the gaps between the end of that film and The Force Awakens, as many among the game’s younger target audience audience likely haven’t even seen the original 1983 film. Surprisingly, the game doesn’t open with Poe Dameron’s botched retrieval mission on Jakku, but with the Battle of Endor from Return of the Jedi. Plus, you’re not going to find any other games right now that allow you to motor around as BB-8.Īs you might expect, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens offers a relatively faithful adaptation of the 2015 film’s plot, with players taking control of multiple characters over the course of the 10 chapter story mode.
#LEGO STAR WARS THE FORCE AWAKENS REVIEW SERIES#
That being said, The Force Awakens not only offers a faithful adaptation of the third highest-grossing film of all time, but actually introduces some new gameplay mechanics to break up the usual monotony, making this probably the best entry in the series since 2013’s Lego Marvel Superheroes.
The latest entry in the long-running series, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a Lego game through and through, which will undoubtedly turn off those that long ago tired of brick building and stud collecting. The franchise has largely stuck to the same formula since the original Lego Star Wars came out in 2005, and while it’s a bit unfair to the fine folks over at TT Games to say that if you’ve played one Lego game, you’ve played them all, this statement isn’t entirely inaccurate either. In some ways, it feels like a futile exercise trying to review a Lego game at this point.
