So Buy, then? You say you use a scale and then don't use it.
@@Schpoo ACG said it was well worth getting twice. First at 14:23, then again not much later. True the exact words of "BUY NOW" weren't mentioned, but if he meant "wait for a sale" that would have been said.
My biggest complaint with past Lego games is during a mission sometimes you have to just blow up a random table (etc etc etc) and then it will allow you to build something to advance the mission. I can't stand that stuff. Does anyone know if that is present in this title?
@@Schpoo my guy, not only does he tell you the game is worth a buy twice, but he even spent 15 mins giving you tons of info to be able to make up your own mind... for the love of God think for yourself a shred, or just hand over your bank info and let him make your purchases from now on.
As a long time patreon supporter, still really happy with supporting you. Great review as always.
I never thought I'd be telling my 30-ish year old friends they ought to check out a Lego game but here we are. Really stoked for it, looks groovy
Right? I’m 27 and played these Lego games as a kid. This looks amazing and can’t wait to play it later!
Oh come on now children! I am leaning towards 50 and hyped af for this 😂
Oh come now children i’m leaning towards 90
oh come now children
i am leaning towards 101
Nice Midnight Gospel pfp!
I'm glad they took their time and didn't worry about rushing it out. I'm so ready to be jumping into all the sagas again! May the Force be with you all, Always!
It's a shame they had to crunch to get it out.
That said, it does seem that trying to shake off that policy is what finally got the game out and it'd be easy enough to buy secondhand if you're really THAT averse.
They actually did rush it out despite the other delays...they completely removed online multiplayer to save time for release.
@@HugePWFan Did they really remove it? It's never been in any TT Lego games except...Complete Saga on the 360.
@@KutsukiTsukiyo from what I read, the feature was originally included in the game, but they had to remove it to "save time"
yeah but they did crunch like really badly from what I heard.
My wife and I started playing Lego games together when COVID quarantine began. She had never, ever been a gamer before, but she LOVES these, and we have so much fun together. As we are also both Star Wars fans, this game is a Day 1 must-have. Great review, ACG - can't wait to play it tomorrow!
Tried Lego Harry Potter yet? Also great fun in my opinion!
@@WH250398 Yes! That's the first one we did!
Honestly these games may be the best introduction to the more complex console gaming experience. You never lose progress by dying, so you can take your time learning the controls, and you can afford looking down at the controller to learn the buttons.
@@tkinsey3 do you know if this is 2 player?
@@trundenthebad I would imagine so! All previous Lego games have been
I love how Ep.2 Anakin’s lightsaber turns red if you leave him standing still for awhile lmao
Immediate buy for sure. Perhaps the best Lego game of all time
Lego City undercover is top notch
@@malazan6004 I’ll have to check that one out
@@malazan6004 5.99 on sale right now
@@sargentordb507 it’s worth it
LOTR was amazing, this does look good though
I can't wait to play Revenge of the Sith! With a lot of the Clone Wars voice actors voicing their old characters, it will be as close as we will ever get to having a Clone Wars style Revenge of the Sith.
11:56 The Complete Saga has online co-op support. Not including online co-op is a real bummer, especially because of the pandemic. I read somewhere that the development of the game suffered from bad management, where the decision to omit online co-op was one of the unfortunate casualties because of said managment.
Polygon's article mentions this. A developer says directly "The director would request new mechanics on a whim, then ask that they be changed, whilst never actually fixing anything that really mattered. Read every review of a Lego game. They always say the same [things]: ‘Platforming is pants, the camera is terrible, no online co-op.’"
I recommend reading the whole article. It really sheds a light on the toll making this game took on the studio.
@@AgentMS That’s sad maybe Microsoft or Sony might buy the studio(s) and get better management implemented with more support from other studios they own.
If you have it on steam you can just do remote play and it works just fine
This game looks 'FUN'
Sometimes its so good to get home from work and just play a chill fun game.
Definitely getting it!
Agree this is the reason i just ordered the deluxe version on PC i need a chill out title that's pretty on the eye and has humour. Plus i love star wars and lego lol.
@@simsimmauk7587 yeah when that pvp catches up to you pop this in and all is well 😄
Ah yes fun the reason games were made. Good to finally find a high budget game where its the focal point lmao.
For sure. I miss chill games like this. Cant wait 5 more hours here in Europe!
The only thing I dislike if how poorly they handled the music in game. Places like Coruscant or Geonosis (in the free roam) don't have any John Williams composition, instead they use some generic music. Kamino doesn't have its theme, they put a Naboo music instead, The Battle of Yavin doesn't use the movie music but the wrong one instead and the list goes on and on. It's a shame because complete saga handled it way better.
Since we have such a different way of patching up games nowadays maybe they can rectify the music issues with a patch? With Complete Saga coming out so long ago maybe they were that much more anal retentive on nailing the music since the copy you got was absolutely final.
If anything I'm sure with a PC copy the incorrect music could be fixed with modding too, maybe. Sucks they overlooked that all the same!
@@shanemczane6725 I hope it can be fixed with modding as well! I already did medleys for all the planets that are missing Williams
sounds like licensing issues to me
@@shanemczane6725 who said there’s music issues? Could be entirely intentional
@@yurifairy2969 , it sounds like a cheap excuse from you to me.
I've been so hyped for this game, glad to see it's finally delivering on quality after all the delays. A little weird that online multiplayer isn't a feature here, but part of the charm of these really is the couch co-op, so it's nice that at least one game is explicitly offering that experience still. Was probably going to buy this anyway, but your vote of confidence has sealed my purchase. Thanks Karak!
first game i ever played was complete saga. so hyped for this game finally releasing
Thank you Karak, you have the best game reviews and are my number one go to for reviews!
I had given up on Lego games but this looks like a welcome change in so many ways and as a huge Star Wars fan I am looking forward to jumping in to this one!
I wish more DEVS understood couch co-op is still wanted and needed.
The game has couch coop
@@raptorzeraora2632 missed the point
He's saying more devs should take a lesson from this game and add it
Waited for your review even though I’ve been dying to preorder. Glad I can go ahead and spend my money. You have the best reviews and insights to gaming hands down
found your channel because of your time on the HAM Radio Podcast! loving your input on the reviews and looking forward to diving into your walking the walk videos!
It's hard to describe *but* The lighting, texture definition, reflections, attention to detail, culture, envisionmentalization, ventilation, paralysis analysis, master craft designing, jet fueled cooling, portability , probability.....( *TO this day, ACG is still describing it in perfect detail* )
Excited to try this out when it unlocks tonight. First Lego I’ll have played since… Lego Indy maybe? It’s been awhile.
for people dont want watch the video. ACG SAID ITS A BUY !
Really excited for this, hoping they add a character creator later on
They said they are shipping a finished product, and besides the DLC characters coming out, no other changes are going to be made.
@@argonaut502 why would they tale that out? That was one of my favorite things as a kid haha
same but i find that highly unlikely.
That would be cool, always wanted to play as a LEGO version of myself in Star Wars
Missing things I'd say everyone would love to be added either in an update or a future game would be online multiplayer (why haven't they done it yet?), a robust character creator (which was available in all other games, not always that robust though) and maybe a checkpoint system for those who want a more challenging game (ofc, optional). Otherwise, this really is a complete package.
To much to play right now but this is on the sale watchlist for sure! Thanks for the great review as always!
Hope we get a Lego LOTR game of this quality, especially since we never got the final hobbit movie
My wallet is hurting!!! This will be the last game I get til June. Then another in July. I’m glad some gaming stuff is getting delayed or canceled. I can no longer keep up this year! 😂
For real
🤣😭 gaming is sick right about now
Had this pre-ordered on best buy almost 2 years, finally shipped today, can not wait!!!!
Thank you for including captions!
Kind of a weird game tbh. It rushes through so much of the story that I find it hard to feel immersed in Star Wars. Feels like a chore to play. A lot of funny moments though.
Last LEGO game I played was DC Supervillains, looks like it's finally time to change that. Already preordered it months ago and I cannot wait till it unlocks for me tomorrow. Great review as always Karak!
This looks awesome. I was probably going to get it anyways but what I expected was the complete saga + new levels for 7-9 (not sure if those games already exist). This looks brand new and totally blows my expectations out of the water. I'm gonna avoid seeing anymore and just get it myself. I loved the complete saga, lord of the rings, I'm dying to play this.
Really excited to play this coop. Thanks for the great review!
So many long time gaming franchises this decade seem to be truly taking that next evolutionary step, like Kirby going 3D, and Pokemon Trying out an open world. This game seems to be evolving it’s series as well
Can’t wait for this and it comes out on my birthday tomorrow what a great present for myself! Love the review my man!
Looking forward to it!! Always look forward to your reviews, really helps make a educated purchase or pass
Thank you for the review! Can't wait to check it out!!
The only Lego games I've played is the original Lego Star Wars trilogy for PS2, Lego Batman and Lego LOTR.
So just seeing a proper 3rd person perspective and crazy good graphics is kinda mind blowing.
I do think I like the overhead camera more for a Lego game, but this definitely improves the combat and breaks up the monotony.
Love the review. Love the game. It’s the best Lego game ever made, and being someone with a huge real life Lego Star Wars collection, collecting all the ships and living out my childhood dreams in game for is more satisfying here than ever.
im gonna have to disagree, this is much more like an over the shoulder shooter and like exploration game, its far to cinematic and really not as interactive as past lego games it just a retelling of the movies,, its an alright game but its just not the same as other lego games, i personally really don’t like the changes and id prefer if coming games dont go down this route, of being 50% cutscenes and 50% walking and button mash boss fights, the character classes streamline gameplay sure but it makes them feely same-y and generic all characters having the same skill set
I agree with you.
Continuing the story circles, force and putting away the lightsaber being the same button on controller are my biggest gripes so far but other than that game’s good.
Massive Star Wars nerd here and I have been waiting a long, long time for this game. Damn, does it look great. Time to get my hands on a blaster and a lightsaber and stick it to the Empire. The Force is strong with this one.
Lol it’s ok…
Definitely getting this for my younger brother and I since we love split screen co-op and there are very few games that are both age appropriate and fun for the both of us
I have got this and overall it's very good and the graphics are amazing. I do think that there is a bit too much jokey bits in and sometimes the camera angles are a bit out (when doing jumping) and my last issue is sometimes in parts you just feel you are on rails and just mashing buttons. But that's the negatives over; it's really good, I am both a die hard lego star wars game fan as well as a star wars fan and am loving it.
excellent review. Question: the footage near the end video (crash landing in the swamp), which episode is this from?
Been watching a lot of reviews for the game and really glad to hear the game was able to deliver on not only the remaking of a experience but add onto it as well. Great video!
It's not bad but it's not really amazing either. Just expected much more on PS5 and Series X than this. It's like it still has the exact same memory settings for when things vanish as the xbox one and PS4.
Appreciate the review Karak. It's definitely raised it up my wishlist.
Great review. Game looks really good. I am holding off until the inevitable discounted price. Lego games tend to drop in price relatively fast.
As always, killer review. Would I buy an ACG themed Lego set? Absolutely.
So tempted with this one. Might wait for a sale and, if I love it, get the next one at launch
My main complaint of Lego games has never been the look or the dialogue (or lack thereof) from the games, but the utter lack of playtesting and refinement of the levels themselves. Dimensions GREATLY suffered from wildly varying quality.
Maybe it's all been kinda downhill since Lego City Undercover, though I'm happy to pick this game up and play through with my kids ... eventually.
I really hope TT keeps this style with their next games because the style of Lego games really has changed very little before this release.
Ok. This was not on my radar but u and Skill Up have convinced me to download it right now. 😃
Have never played a Lego Star Wars game before,and this is my entry game that I will buy on day one.Thanks for the solid review as always,ACG.You got me sold into getting this for sure now. 👊🏽
Youre in for a fun time!
Great video will probably pick this up when it goes on sale
Can't wait to play this with my sister. I grew up playing the Lego games, especially Star Wars. The first console I ever had was a Gameboy Advance SP with Lego Star Wars The Videogame.
I've honestly never put more than maybe an hour combined into any of the Lego games released. I think I may have to break that trend with this.
Might be that we grew up but I could never keep playing them like I did as a kid, but this ome looks like it’ll keep one’s attention (helps that I care about the IP)
Hello! Just picked up my copy for PS5 it’s downloading/updating now! Been waiting a MINUTE to get this!
I thought this was just going to be the standard Lego games but this looks insane. Definitely want to get my hands on this
Great review. Been looking forward to this for a long time
What I love about this game is that you know that it wasn’t just developed by cooperate people trying to cash in on its name *cough* EA *cough* but actual Star Wars fans making this amazing experience. Like only Star Wars fans would laugh at the parody scenes and jokes like Chewie in the medal scene or the Jedi talking to Rey scene or Mauls death scene. You’d only laugh if you watched and love the movies and the creators deserve a massive round of applause for paying tribute to us as fans
Yeah and the fact that all the DLC is only like 10 dollars is pretty good.
EA funded jedi fallen order. That game rules and I can't wait for the sequel.
I have been waiting for this review thanks
I'm not gonna lie. my impression was it was gonna be a re-release of Lego starwars with the new episodes added, but its actually a full remake with the new episodes added. I might get this now
Karak trying to take a photo at the nude beach... Never touch! 😂
Hey, this looks great and another amazing review. I've never played a Lego game before so I do wonder if this would be a good starting point
So far it’s been a blast. Credits are easier to get and my only issue is a personal one. That being that we didn’t get a remake of the space battle in Episode 3 from the original game since it was my main stud earner. Still the first mission in episode 9 is a great replacement for it.
Is there an option to remove all that stuff on hud or maybe just make it smaller. I hope so because the hud is crazy it takes up so much space it’s cra6.
Great video but you really thought the prequel voice actors were worse? They are mostly The Clone Wars voice actors so it sounded amazing to hear them say the movie quotes
Waiting for this. Time to go pre-order! Thanks!
The thing about the neighborhood wife and lawn was hilarious 😂
normally the humor in these is a little bit childish for me but in this game I found myself laughing at the fact that there was one single man with a push mower mowing the grass on the entire planet of Naboo
Grabbed this last night, and I'm really enjoying it so far
I've barely played it overall compared to what there is in the game, but it's a testament because I'm slamming through the sequel trilogy first because I want to save the best for last
And I'm having fun playing around in movies that I generally don't have a favorable opinion of
Once again another great review. Now I'm interested after watching this
Not a Lego game person myself. I played Avengers on PS3 and enjoyed that. Thinking about grabbing this. I could see myself enjoying this as a casual hop on when im in a lull game and I could see my fiancee enjoying this as well, giving us something to play together.
"Hotdog shaped torpedo down the dorm room hallway". You just became my favorite reviewer.
Never really played a lego game but they have always looked fun and the amount of Star Wars Content has me wanting to check it out just for something different and maybe layed back and fun to play.
For online play what usually works on ps4/5 is start in co op both controllers on then start shareplay the pass a controller to online friend...this is how I played salt and sanctuary on ps4 online
For the first time in a long time, I'm actually excited to play a Lego video game. Until now, Lego titles have been getting churned out one after another with the same copy and paste formula. Sure, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is still a Lego video game at heart, but it feels like something different, somehow. It has charm and personality. Most importantly, it looks really fun and enjoyable. I've held off playing Lego games. Though, the trend will change with this one. Otherwise, thanks as always Karak for another honest, unbiased and detailed review. I really appreciate the continued hard work!
I was expecting just a shiner version of the complete saga, but this is so much better than what I was anticipating,
definitely purchasing it when I get the chance
No
The only review that matters! Thanks for your quality content as always ACG!
4:53 Omfg the Ben Swolo meme 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️
It really looks (gameplay and visual wise) better than I expected! I am glad it's finally out. But I must say Weird West is my priority right now to buy and then I'll probably get this one next ✨
What’s Weird West?
@@uajrh1 ACG recently covered it here. It's a simulator of the weird west and you can make diff choices and create your own adventures
@@MissBubbles oh I play tons of games like that so I may check this one out :)
As somebody who is just a Star Wars fan and never played any Lego games before , this game has its charm and fun but honestly, I wouldn't buy it again.
It would be awesome if they added dlc type levels where you got to play the mandalorian series or something like that
Great review! I'm curious, does it play well on PS4?
honestly super happy you like this game, i've been so excited for it for so long. cant wait to play it!
I'm gonna give this one a try, my last lego game was the DC super villains game and I couldn't finish it because of a game breaking bug that caused it to crash during one of the missions, happened every single time I tried that particular mission, even reinstalling didn't help, which sucked because I was enjoying playing as an original character in that one. Hope this one will be much better.
Dc super villains was a really really BANGER of a game. It was fucking wild. The open world was huuuge! Gotham and Metropolis plus the little homecity is in.
The roster was fucking wild!!!
Will buy today, i am a hardcore starwarsfan and i really love legogames (city undercover ftw) so yeah, this is a must buy. Reading here and there though that the story seems rushed, thats a bummer if its true...
I really want to play this game but I'm not exactly sure! It looks like a lot of fun. Which is what I want from a game. . Lovely review ACG!
I was so looking forward to this game. Thanks for another great review!
Can't wait to play this tomorrow. It's going to be epic. 👍
i love lego star wars my favorite one of all time was the trilogy it was so much content in one game and so much nostalgia in a lego game this looks good i’ll check it out soon
Look good and fun,
will buy it for sure.
Thanks for the review
Almost forgot to pre order. Glad I got it done. Can't wait to jump in tomorrow
It's so short and skips around with so much, idk how people are so happy with it
I agree on the camera movement, it just feels a little too close a lot, and when riding the Tauntauns it straight up gave me motion sickness and ended up running around the map instead, it's also the same with the odd other mode of transport, because of the camera view I can only play thgough on episode before leaving it for the next day.
The aiming is pretty precise, although there's a delay/stutter when zooming in to aim which also gives me a sick feeling, it's if I aim in and stay there a while but rapid use gets me straight away.
It's a great game so far otherwise, but tbh for me not as good as previous one's like the earlier Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
And I agree about the multiplayer or lack of, even the NDS Lego games had 4 player link up.
I agree, although sometimes in split screen I've found I can't see where I'm aiming because the crosshair is literally blocked by my characters head
This is usually when shooting from cover
This game would be perfect on a steam deck. A total nostalgia hit from playing Lego star wars on my PSP
it's so hard to find unbiased reviews anymore.
This game looks INCREDIBLE for sure. All credit to the developer Tt games. But it is boring! Levels are basically running from one point to another. It's like spending lots of money for a 4K TV with surround sound... but having the most tedious shows to actually watch.
the games have been great this year! it's nuts how much there is to play!
btw theres a software called Parsec for PC that allows multiplayer, if you have good internet it runs almost seamless
never played a lego game or watched a star wars movie but this looks really goid.
great review acg!
Does the PS5 version still have low resolution when performance mode is on or did they patch it? I saw the Xbox Series X version is 2160p when performance mode is on. Just trying to figure out what’s up with the PS5 version.
Mine would absolutely be a wait. I pre-ordered and played for a week, but now I'm stuck at like 80% completion as I've got two broken missions I can't progress, and I'm stuck in Episode 8. I also had like 8 crashes and a few other annoying issues.
Desperately needs a patch or two to fix gamebreaking bugs.
However this might be the first lego game I'd want to replay through from scratch. Buying the stud multipliers right away made it so easy, I kinda want to 100% it again without them.
