Review: Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

The original Lego Star Wars was something special. It packaged the robust story that billions love in a cute and hilarious format and spawned what was basically a genre all its own for developer Traveller’s Tales. The format of Lego games hasn’t changed much over the years, but with Star Wars being the very first entry in the now long-running series, it was the most deserving of a fresh coat of paint.

The latest entry in Traveller’s Tales Lego games attempts to cram all of those Star Wars you love into a single game and mostly succeeds even if it has to resort to cutting a few corners.

Review: Star Wars Squadrons

Review: Star Wars Squadrons

I have a long, contentious history with Star Wars video games. There’s been a lot of them, and more of them are forgettable than memorable, but the ones that I have the fondest memories of are the space flight games. Rogue Squadron and X-Wing, and TIE Fighter are some of my favorite experiences in a galaxy far, far away. Games like the two former are the ones that tend to get the most right. It could be that it’s just easier to make something feel right when you can focus on the smaller details of cockpit experience and maybe not get so concerned with trade embargos and space senators' intricacies.
