"Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga" IGN Review 8 points: Star Wars fans must not miss the masterpiece

Adventure! Stimulate! Jedi Knights don't like these things. If this is true, then all Jedi should cancel their pre-orders for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Because this new entry in the old LEGO game series from Traveler's Tales brings more exciting adventures with plastic cubes! With the classic scenes in the nine "Star Wars" mainline movies and a large number of planets for players to explore freely, the wacky style of "Skywalker Legend" brought an exciting adventure, which made me feel like I was washed with hot oil As happy as a robot in the bath.

"Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga" boldly abandons the zoomed-out camera perspective in previous Lego games, and instead adopts an over-the-shoulder third-person perspective that is closer to the characters, similar to "Gears of War" and "Uncharted". This design makes it easier for the player to control the attack of the character. You can throw the lightsaber and then catch it. The box can also be pushed back and forth with the force, giving people a strange sense of satisfaction. The simple combo system also makes it easy to throw enemies into the air and take away with a set of lightsabers. The combat experience of playing as a Jedi or Sith may not be as deep and complex as "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order", but it is just as smooth and smooth to play, and the experience is excellent.

If you control the character holding blaster , you can hide behind walls and other bunkers and kill enemies from a distance, and you can also switch between different bunkers with one click. (A similar cover design was used in 2016's Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but only in certain scenes of a certain level). I like that they've added a mechanic on top of this system to quickly repair destroyed cover (and enemies too), but aside from certain boss fights, I don't feel the need to hide behind cover.In The Skywalker Saga, the ever-recovering health bar and stormtroopers who can't hit anyone at all mean that you can run around and fight with little risk. I did enjoy the shootouts in The Skywalker Saga, but the fun came more from the spectacle than the tactical depth.

The new over-the-shoulder view not only makes you feel closer to the battle, but also makes each LEGO brick look more real. 2021's Hot Wheels: Unleashed sets a new standard for high-fidelity virtual plastic rendering, and every piece of plastic in The Skywalker Saga looks as good as it gets. There will also be some wear and tear on the dolls, as if they were toys that are often handled by people. Every Lego object is extremely realistic, and even when I exploded the Lego Tie Fighter that was carefully assembled with 1,000 building blocks, I seemed to hear the angry howls of the parents who spent the afternoon helping their children to assemble this toy.

Slapstick awakening

"Lego Star Wars" games always add the spoof of the movie "Space Cannonball" when restoring classic scenes, and "Skywalker Legend" is no exception, even in the most dangerous moments. The funny side of the Force. Whether it's Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader discussing the new Death Star, and the Stormtroopers behind him tripping like dominoes; or Darth Sidious sending Order 66 by accident Order 67, let all clones start dancing disco in place, without starting mass killing of jedi. The Skywalker Saga always finds a way to satirically parody the original film, and there are plenty of fun moments. And in The Rise of Skywalker, many of the deliberate spoofs are more enjoyable than the unexpected gags in the original film.

"Legend of Skywalker" attracts me not only because of its funny atmosphere, but also because of its various mission types. Although it can't compare with 2021's ", two people, " in terms of creativity and gameplay, the 45 main story levels are different, and the gameplay will never become boring. There are bridges in "Legend of Skywalker" that make players mow grass without thinking. For example, in the Battle of Naboo, players have to play an exciting tower defense game. Swarms of Trade Federation robots and tanks. At the same time, there are also bridges in the main mission that focus the gameplay on the protagonist. For example, when Rey enters the mirror cave on Temple Island, the player must carefully control her reflection to find the portal switch that opens the exit. The levels of the

game fully meet the expectations of fans. Not only are the shuttle races designed, the X-wing fighter assault on the Death Star , but also various lightsaber duels; Exquisite, great playing experience. The only fly in the ointment is that the cinematic expression technique is sometimes too rigid. For example, in a Boss battle against Kailo Ren , I had already emptied his health bar, but because of the subsequent judgment of a series of QTE events, the battle still lasted for nearly a minute before it ended.

Additional Adventures

Each story mission is associated with a sizable central area of ​​20 planets. From the dusty streets of Mos Eisley on Tatooine to the glossy surface of Coruscant's financial district, many scenes from the movie appear in the game. These open areas and collectable hidden kybers are a perfect match, making for a lot of fun environmental puzzles.While challenges are inevitable across the galaxy—stacking boxes to get kyber cubes in midair seems to be a regular occurrence on every planet—there are plenty of surprises waiting for you along the way. I especially liked a Lemmings-inspired challenge on Kamino that required me to tweak a series of platforms to keep a hapless clone from going to the wrong room; or command a Wookie on Kashyyx The choir howled out the "Star Wars" theme song written by John Williams.

Collected Kyber Cubes can be used as currency to purchase core upgrades shared by all characters or enhancements used by each class. However, many core upgrades are necessary in my opinion, such as increasing the range of characters to automatically collect resources, or speeding up the speed at which they build things. Then there is actually not much need to upgrade a large number of professional specialties, because the difficulty of "Legend of Skywalker" is not high at all. If I can easily use the blaster to kill the enemy who ambushes me behind the wall, then the ability to see the enemy through the cover of the bounty hunter is not very meaningful.

Although I mainly followed the mission objectives to advance the main storyline, after clearing all the story missions, I still spent a few hours completing side missions to unlock more extra characters. Then switch between these characters on the go to use their special abilities to solve specific problems. In the process, you'll travel between galaxies and descend to the surface of planets to help the locals perform all sorts of wacky tasks. At this time, "Legend of Skywalker" played like the cute minifigure version of " mass effect ". If you are tired of exploring and jumping on various planets, you can also take the beloved spaceship to have a space dog fight at any time. There's so much to do in The Skywalker Saga, I've spent more than 20 hours in the game and still feel like I've only scratched the surface.There are more than enough collectible vehicles and unlockable minifigures in the game to fill a long New Year's gift list.

System Disruption

The biggest problem I encountered in The Skywalker Saga was the bug in the prequel trilogy, which made it impossible to continue the plot after "Attack of the Clones". While playing on Xbox Series X, I ran into a bug where starting the Hunt for Jango Fett mission would crash, and after restarting the game, the mission objective disappeared from the map and menus, and I couldn't find a way to retrigger the objective. Since players can choose any trilogy to play alone, I still completed the process of the fourth to ninth movies in the first week. But I still had to open a new file to finish the prequel trilogy. Fortunately, I didn’t encounter the game crash bug in this process. (As of this writing, the developers tell me they're rolling out a patch to fix this.)

I've also found a little glitch with The Skywalker Saga's local co-op mode. In the process of nine movies, I played half of them by myself, and the other half played with my son. Overall, the second player does bring more joy and chaos; however, due to the limited field of vision due to the vertical split screen, it is easier to get lost when exploring. Plus, there always seems to be one player who takes on a supporting role in a story mode boss fight, acting as a spectator droid, while the other gets to have a really cool and flashy lightsaber duel. During a battle that broke out between Anakin and Obi-Wan on the magma-flowing surface of Mustafar, I spent most of the time as C3PO standing on the floating platform and watching the passionate battle below. Makes me feel like I'm suffering from C3PO's dementia .

Summary

"Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Legend" brings many spoof versions of "Star Wars" classic scenes, and arranges these scenes into many planets in the vast galaxy, as well as rich exploration and entertainment content. The upgrade and cover systems are a bit redundant, and the co-op gameplay is noticeably lacking; but there's enough fun and variety in the game to keep the flow of all nine films enjoyable from start to finish, and I can't give enough credit for the movies. Same evaluation.
