I have a complicated relationship with mobile gaming. I get a little too obsessed with whatever I start playing, only to get bored of the game after a few days and never launch it again. But it seems that one Apple Arcade app has successfully broken the cycle with an action-adventure title that has kept me continuously engaged by merging two of my favorite things: Lego and Star Wars.
Lego Star Wars: Castaways from Gameloft first launched in 2021, but it only landed on my radar a couple of weeks ago. The game takes place on an island planet designed entirely of Lego bricks, where you and other online players can level up and explore, or participate in small side quests by request of the locals. Otherwise, you spend your time transporting your character to iconic Star Wars scenes to repair corrupted simulations.
