If you're going to play just the base game, the movie levels are short and don't hold a candle to the original.

If you are demented (right here) and going for 100%/All achievements, you are going to be doing so much repetitive stupid mssions.

I would say the best way to experience this game is to try to run through the movies, take a break, go back through them on freeplay, and then try for unlocking all characters and then walk away from the game.

On the flip side the graphics are breathtaking, this game runs spectacularly on steam deck, and the MULTIPLE OPEN WORLDS need to be studied by other starwars games. This is how to make the starwars universe, but I wish there weren't over 1200 bricks to mindlessly collect. I've gone through the whole saga, and only have 36% finished, I'll probably update this when I get everything completed

Objectively this is a vastly superior Lego Star Wars game with tons of content, new game mechanics and exploration of the galaxy potential, although it does miss the charm of the originals. Inclusion of the mumble is nice and can potentially scratch that nostalgia itch and there's a good amount of the good old Lego humour.

Some of the things I didn't like is that it feels more sanitized in a sense that all death scenes have been reworked to not feel like actual death scenes. Grand Moff Tarkin is not even a part of the story! Then astro-mechs can't fly anymore. Also my personal grudge is that considering they have like 400 characters in the game - they removed Garindan the imperial spy from the originals. He was one of my favorites! Also, having so many characters locked behind DLCs sucks, even if they are completely unnecessary to own. Lastly, one of the requirements for 100% completion is collecting 1300 kyber bricks across the galaxy. That is so much and so tedious, but maybe kids would love it as an incentive to play for as long as possible.

Overall, it's a good Lego Star Wars game, but I'm personally not a big fan of the direction they took. 8/10

Just play lego clone wars for the Wii.
