Here, you can blitz through any given level without much pushback. The same can be said for the puzzle sections that, in previous games, ended up being real head-scratchers. This amounts to a gameplay loop that has just enough going on to keep adults engaged, but it’s simple enough that children are highly unlikely to run into any problems. First introduced in Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens, over-the-shoulder shooting is now available for any character wielding a blaster – it won’t dethrone Gears of War anytime soon, but it adds a great amount of variety and it even rewards more accurate aiming for advanced players. Melee combat is just one part of the equation however, with the other compiled of run and cover shooting. By comparison, BB-8 ended up becoming my wife’s favourite character to play due to his terrifying arsenal of attacks. This helps to eliminate one of the issues that plagued the original Lego Star Wars games, as co-op play sometimes ended up being a discussion of who was going to take control of the boring character. In fact, characters who were previously only useful for opening up doors (we’re looking at C-3PO) are now more than ready to handle themselves in a fight. Each character fights differently of course, but it’s great to see the animations that emerge from these combos – I’ll never get tired of seeing Leia uppercut a storm trooper before smashing down them on the ground with the use of her grapple. Simply mashing the main attack button won’t be effective, as enemies will pick up on your pattern and block, forcing you to switch things up with other attacks in your character’s arsenal. This isn’t to say that the combat is no longer accessible – far from it – but it’s now been given a major shot in the arm to become more engaging than simply mashing buttons to take down enemies.įor starters, hand-to-hand combat is now a combo-based system.
If, like me, you remember the Lego Star Wars games as having enjoyable, albeit not particularly difficult combat, then you’ll be in for quite a surprise with The Skywalker Saga. Space battles outside the main campaign are a bit dull.
