LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review (Badger)
Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Rushed Tie-in with a Distinct Lack of Polish
Attempting to capitalise on the buzz surrounding the release of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens,' this Lego adaptation feels like a hurried effort lacking the finesse of its predecessors, missing the mark with its abundance of bugs and frequent crashes.
Despite investing 28 hours to complete it 100%, the experience was marred by technical issues, making it difficult to fully immerse oneself in the galaxy far, far away. With poor DLC practices, where not all content is covered by the season pass, the game feels more like a money grab than a genuine attempt to enhance the player's experience.
Moreover, the inclusion of real-life people as playable characters feels forced and intrusive, disrupting the immersion in the Lego Star Wars universe. Every free play opportunity is marred by the presence of these characters, detracting from the nostalgic joy that previous Lego Star Wars titles provided.
In conclusion, 'Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens' is a game one should approach with caution. Only consider purchasing it if it's heavily discounted, as it fails to deliver the charm and quality expected from a Lego Star Wars game. Fans would be better off revisiting the classics than investing in this rushed and flawed adaptation.
