Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is one of those rare leaps in quality – the Mass Effect 2 of Lego games. As fun as TT Games’ Lego titles always are, the improvements between launches are usually barely perceptible. This time it’s all you can see. Brick by brick, the entire concept of a Lego game has been rebuilt.
Gone is the mindless one-button combat, replaced with a simple combo system that allows for juggles and aerial attacks. Keep spamming the same button and enemies will wise up and block you. It’s not quite Devil May Cry, but it’s a massive improvement. Keep your combo gauge up and you’re rewarded with more studs to spend on characters (there are over 400 of them).
