Worth buying?

[Mr. Cakes]

I've been a long time fan of the older LEGO games and have beaten them, 100% them, over and over. The two original LEGO Star Wars Games, Complete Saga, and I'm currently working on Clone Wars. I've heard a lot about this game and was extremely hyped when it was announced. However, I did hear it suffers from bugs that make it hard to play at times. Some people have also said it doesn't have the "charm" or the "gameplay" the older games like Complete Saga has. I do really love the appeal of the new approach to how the game plays, however I don't necessarily want to buy a game that could be potentially less in quality than the Complete Saga. What do you guys think? Considering it's on sale. I plan to play it on PC and Steam Deck. And am I missing out on anything if I were to not buy the DLC?

> it suffers from bugs that make it hard to play at times

The only 'bug' that makes it hard to play is that one button is used for force-lifting objects, force-throwing objects, and also sheathing/unsheathing lightsabers. It becomes annoying if you want to explicitly force-throw something, since you can't force that option

All other bugs / quirks are in the menus. Some noticeably bad design decisions, but the game is definitely playable.

I was unsure about the new style of gameplay compared to the traditional lego star wars, but I think this new version is much better. There are still 'levels' and 'story mode', where you are locked to certain characters, have to get true-jedi, and minikits, but there's in-between parts where you're kinda free to do what you want in the new areas.

In addition to the worlds being much larger, you also get to experience them outside of the Canonical storylines. In the older games, even free play mode was still the same exact level, just with different characters (and small locked areas that needed free play to get to). In this game, the canonical stories are almost secondary gameplay, and solving all the puzzles and missions is the main part of the game.

Well worth the buy, especially as it's on sale rn

It's a great game, but I thought all of the requirements that need to be completed for 100% went way overboard and became far too tedious. My first play through to 100% took around 130 hours to complete. While this is appealing to some, I thought it was over kill, and essentially destroyed any replay-ability. I have replayed other Lego games like Lord of the Rings, Batman, Star Wars: The Complete Saga, and Indiana Jones numerous times and have enjoyed getting 100% again in each title. This title, however, is such a beating to get 100% the thought of putting another 130 hours into it isn't something I want to do again.

It's genuinely lovely, just give it a shot, you can get the base game with ALL the DLCs for like, $13 USD. I came from The Complete Saga and love this game to bits. It's Complete Saga++.

Thanks everyone! I picked up a copy. Can't wait to play on my PC and Deck.
