Then on top of that so many veterans leaving, it really is a shame. And you can't help but feel bad for every single person who helped make this product. The delays were also definitely also harsh on the developers as they realized that the game they were making was constantly being re-worked and shuffled about away from what they intended. poor devs.

My main gripe is that creating more open world planets seemed to take away from the main levels themselves. The level is significantly smaller, there's significantly less puzzle solving and less cut scenes. Plus just because the open world planets look fairly well designed, doesn't mean I want to run around on them doing meaningless little quests. The complete saga from '07 had so much more charm and fun to be had I feel.

an aspect I personally felt "hurt" by, would be... for some reason they lock Scavengers behind episode 7. If you wanted to go through each episode in order, you need to go through more than half the game to unlock their abilities. Even if you get a scavenger character early, you can't use them. This is the only character type to be locked this way. What's making it worse, Scavenger-mandatory puzzles are found throughout all episodes. It gets discouraging really quickly

Something that seems to be overlooked is that, when a game intended for children becomes too reliant on voice acting, it can deeply sour the experience for children whose languages aren't supported by the game. This review brought back memories of me attempting to simultaneously listen to dialogue while translating it for my younger siblings, a problem which lego games used to avoid, as everyone simply mumbled and all information was conveyed by gesturing and facial expressions. And while this game offers a mumble mode, it's very clearly just an afterthought.

Being limited to mumbling was also a _great_ opportunity for more of the lego humor charm. Creativity is born from limitations after all, as the saying goes. There are so many moments where they had to convey some piece of info where they just outright told us through dialogue, while previous lego games would've had to find a way to communicate it through props or body language, and all of these moments are just completely missed opportunities. People aren't asking for mumble to be back for the sake of the mumbling itself. People are asking for mumble to be back because that mumbling was part of the necessary _conditions_ for the most memorable jokes in the classic lego games.

This game should have had even more time in the oven with the scope they were trying to achieve without execs breathing down the necks of the devs constantly to just get it done.

I do still think it was a labour of love but yeah the production was very messy but I don’t think it should’ve been delayed again all tho they announced it way too early that’s for sure.

I agree with you. At first, I was excited to go around collecting everything. But then, it just felt tedious to where I have taken a hiatus from the game completely. A lot of it is due to lack of time, but the fact that when I do have free time I don't consider playing this game should be telling for how much of a chore it can to play.

I think what makes me enjoy this game so much is the fact I'm a big collectathon fan and the game is mostly a colossal collectathon in open levels like Banjo-Kazooie. I love this game, but your criticisms so far (I'm not quite at the end yet, but still) have all been completely valid and I hope TT takes this video to heart and dials back the scale for the next game, focusing on a tight story with a side open world instead of a huge open world with decent but not anything special levels.

I’m glad I could finally discover a genuinely well thought out, sincere review of this game’s flaws, because I have been wondering if anyone has actually disliked LS: TSS. Personally, I am continuing to enjoy playing mainly because I am a big Star Wars fan and love being able to explore my favorite planets, hear and find references, and unlock a lot of my favorite characters. When it was first announced, needless to say, I was very excited for what was in store. I thought I was going to get to play a modernized LS: TCS that would allow me to experience the 6 movies that I loved so much again and added three that were (for obvious reasons) not included in the previous game. I tried my best to avoid trailers and information about the game since I wanted to go into playing knowing as little as possible, however, I heard that I would be able to travel and explore a lot of planets, and that really excited me. For me personally, getting the opportunity to explore Star Wars planets was something special that nothing else has really done before, even JFO which only has 4 explorable planets. When I finally got the game, downloaded it and played the first section, I said “This doesn’t feel like a Lego Star Wars game. It feels like a Star Wars Lego game.” because of how different it felt. Weird camera angle, weird combat system, weird ways of getting to different levels: it was so odd. However, the more I played the more comfortable I became with it, and something I discovered right from the get-go was how you literally played through the movies. Going from the Trad Federation ship to meeting Jar Jar to swim down to Otoh Gunga to escaping the goober fish and walking the streets of Theed, to break through the blockade and going to Tatooine and so on and so forth all the way to the end of the movie! Therefore, as a Star Wars fan, I was totally fine with the time between levels. I loved getting time between the action to really experience the amazing graphics and environments and talk to the people that Obi-Wan had to talk to in AotC in order to locate Kamino. I loved getting a tour of the clones from Lama Su and walking around my favorite planet. It was a SW experience unlike anything else. Similar to my last point, I view the level design in a similar way. It almost felt like the open world in many aspects because of how short and concise each level was. I think they sacrificed the usual Lego level design for being able to play through the movies and tell as similar storyline and experience to the movies while still having hilarious dialogue from the characters like the two Resistance Medics carrying Rose on Crait! I think you can kinda see where I’m all going with this. Lego wanted to make a different game than they ever had before, in more than one way: the main way being the way they set the player up to play through each film. Starting at the beginning and having a fluid pace in which they progressed through the story and ended. However, as I said near the beginning, I’m a big Star Wars fan who can deal with some of the repetition and over-all clunkiness that others might have a problem with because I just love playing through my favorite story. I can totally understand where you are coming from, since it being a Star Wars game isn’t enough for the normal person to blow off the problems the game can undeniably have such as the glitches, and time consuming collectable hunting as well as the different way you play depending on which you like better. It’s just for me, playing through each movie like LS: TSS let me was a unique, exciting experience that serves the player with what I feel nothing else has been able to for this story that is Star Wars, and I for one, am all for it.

This is the most well said and honest review of this game I have seen. I was confused because it seemed so many were enjoying this game, when all I was getting was a migraine from all of the repetitive gameplay. This isn’t a nostalgic trip for lego star wars at all, it’s something completely different.

Despite how disappointing some of the levels were handled, I was still able to enjoy the game, but the multiplayer was the biggest failure in my eyes. The fixed split screen felt so claustrophobic in the open world and the way coop is handled in a lot of the levels was very upsetting, me and my friend didn’t even make it through the phantom menace before deciding to just play it on our own. This game could have greatly benefited from online coop

Glad to see somebody call this game out. It seems like any criticism of this game is ignored and denied by fanboys and it infuriates me.

OMG! That game was my childhood!

“How did it get the reputation that it has?” “Because it was Lego Star Wars, a legend”

This was a nearly impossible job for some of the devs at Tt, especially with the stress they went through, it’s almost a miracle that they could actually make the game somewhat mediocre.

This is exactly how I felt! The game is majority filler, from the open worlds to the challenges I was never made aware of and failed to complete after each level , forcing me to go back and replay it to pad out the completion time of the game. I don’t understand how people rated this game so highly when it has no respect for the players time.

Yeah I have to say I'm not a fan of the sequel trilogy, but The Force Awakens felt much more intuitive than The Skywalker saga

why does every game have to be open world now? it ruins so many games which shouldn't be.

It also turns out that Disney was also pushing hard on the game makers according to several devs that left the project. They were forced to do the sequels first, it was worse to deal with since at the time The Rise of Skywalker didn’t come out so they had to wait until it eventually came out to start working on it. They did the prequels last, which is why it’s levels feel unfinished and short Edit: They’ve added in the cut capital ships. I suppose they are listening to the fans, which is good. I’m hoping the customizer is next.

My two biggest pet peeves about this game are: no creating your own custom Lego character, and no story replay-ability beyond a few select missions.

i loved the game but absolutely understand where you're coming from. and the character roster is so frustating, like there are so many cool characters you can give unique abilities to but they are the same as everyone else in that character class. the villain class is the best since sometimes they come with a unique weapon like a flamethrower but that is not enough for me. i had a couple ideas to make the roster more unique like make some less experienced jedi only have distract as they're force ability while those with more knowledge could have the mind trick and panic too, tusken raiders and jawas could dig in the ground, maybe even go underground to do a 2d section like dig dug. commander cody or antilles could command troops just like in lego star wars 3 the clone wars, the list just goes on and the fact that they just copy the same abilities for an entire character class expect if they have a jetpack is so dissapointing. if i could sacrifice character upgrades for characters being more unique i would.

That has been a problem in Lego games for a long time now. As these games get bigger and bigger character rosters the characters feel less and less unique, and it's obvious they can't make all those characters feel different like in the past, where they would have to work on maybe 20 or 50 characters at most and there was no open world map to speak of. What happens in the end is that the game gives the main characters a better treatment and maybe has three or four different secondary characters to unlock that stand out among the others, but leaves the rest of the roster with recycled abilities and even animations; the most noticeable case of this being Lego DC Supervillains, where the main characters are very fun to play and the most expensive one in the game that you can get outside of the story, the Ventriloquist, has way better animations and a more creative set of abilities than all the others. I would say the last game that had very unique characters despite the size of its roster was Lego The Incredibles, but I suppose it's that way because they borrowed from a lot of Pixar's works and none of the characters from the two "The Incredibles" movies had similar superpowers.

Thank you. From the first gameplay footage of the game i became... sceptical. Everyone that received the early review copies and was showing small parts of "missions" that the marketing team allowed them to, saying how beautiful the game is and how good the combat feels. All i could see was the ugliest UI I've ever seen in a lego game, the worst split screen and neglect for player 2, lack of puzzles and bullet sponge enemies. I couldnt tell the bossfights apart if it wasn't for the different minifigures. But then the game came out and everyone seemed to love it. I was planning to buy it. But from the gameplay i saw? It did not look fun. The game industry seems to be heading towards a bad place. The people that control the mechanics and flow of the game don't seem to he experienced designers but rich excecutives concerned with which mechanic will sound better for the marketing. To sell more copies on release. Highly disappointed from TT.

However, other videos I’ve seen are so obviously for views and attention as all the complain about is how easy it is, which it’s a Lego game, of course it’s gonna be easy.

In terms of the game’s simplicity in combat. It’s like they were building up to something quite complex. Maybe every individual ship or character gets a unique skill tree where they can unlock new abilities? (Seismic charges or dark saber e.t.c) but no, it really is just the same thing every time. Similarly, the enemies could have variations too. They could easily fix this.

I remember spending hundreds of hours replaying the same Ryloth mission’s over and over again because of how fun they are. And that’s on top of having complete missions, the bounty hunter levels that are entirely unique, being able to test all vehicles in the hub world, and best of all the mini kits unlock additional playable characters not from the game’s specified scope. Also one think that really irks me about this game is the lack of free play for vehicle levels. I get the pod race (because of how they changed it) but really I can’t replay the Death Star trench run as a Y-Wing in single player? Or the numerous other vehicle levels in different ships despite giving me the option for free play mode. TLDR: Get Lego Star Wars III instead, it’s good and really deserves a sequel.

Yeah Lego Star Wars III has fantastic war levels. You're absolutely right about the battle of Geonosis, just why not include it? Yeah it's annoying with the trench run as player 2 is another X-Wing. Just makes no sense, when the original Allowed one person to play as the falcon and the other an X-Wing. I just don't get it😂 Thanks for commenting

They also got rid of fun levels like Battle of Coruscant, Battle of Death Star II and any form of the Battle of Geonosis except for the Arena which was so empty and the quick Dooku fight.They also focused way too much on background characters that we barely use. They also refused to give us any dlc level packs and instead we get character packs that we really don’t need because most of us had already finished the game when they came out plus they had no character interactions or voice lines. Too many people praise this game instead of complaining about everything that is bad about the game. Thank you for making this video.

I think it would be like you do each one after the other. Like how they did in Lord of the Rings or the one time they do it in this game Luke V Ren. A little circle appears in the top right corner and if there are two players, both players play simultaneously through the two sequences. But in single player, you do the first encounter and then when you've completed it you go to the second encounter and the bubble disappears if that makes sense sorry.

Honestly nice to see somebody say something about the game that isn't mindless praise. I haven't played it (I haven't played any LEGO games since I was a child) but everything I see about it seems so far removed from what made the LEGO games I remember great that I just couldn't fathom how it was so well received. The nail in the coffin for me was seeing the low effort cash grab DLCs, where they didn't even bother to include voice lines for the new characters. Seeing these same people joyfully praising this stuff that is blatantly a low effort attempt to steal money from children convinced me that these people must be paid shills.

Not to mention most of the cutscenes in the game are atrociously bad. The humor is very over the top, in your face at every moment, and ruins the experience by being this meme-y pseudo lego movie thing. Takes away the feeling of replaying the films let alone a proper lego sw

@@anthonygarcia8749 Eh people like different thinks. People like you for instance enjoy bad graphics, terrible combat, repetitive long boring levels, less content in general, and no voice acting. I personally enjoy skywalker saga more then complete saga since it has more content, is more repayable, and overall improves everything. The dlc was a bit lackluster but its like 1 dollar per pack.

@@connormodin5731 I thought everyone thought the skywalker saga levels are short? Plus you've got actual boss levels, ship levels, race levels, stealth levels, shooting levels and platforming levels, in skywalker saga. In the complete saga you have platforming levels, ship levels and platforming boss levels. So if SS is long and repetitive then TCS must be completely unbearable to play.

Great video, I'm tired of hearing so much blind praise for this game. My brother and I lost interest after playing the last level of Episode III. We had so much fun playing as Anakin and Obi-Wan in the last level of the original LEGO Star Wars (2005), and we were expecting it to be very much the same kind of thing. Making that level a PVP battle was a no-brainer! Then we get to the equivalent level in the new game, only to find out one of us has to play as a droid and do busy work. I don't know if it is avoidable, but there was a good chunk of the level where NEITHER of us had control of Obi-Wan. We were R2 and C3-PO, forced to watch the duel in the background until we hit the required switches. Now THAT was insulting!

I literally have no idea why they decided to do this. It literally is the most confusing thing about the whole game. They didn't need anymore panels because they were gonna use them for the rest of the saga. The Lightsaber combat is the most polished aspect of the game, so you'd think they'd want to show it off. My only theory is that they never implemented a program where player 2 could defeat player 1. Which is why the Vader fight in ROTJ is so jarring.

Player 2 defeating player 1 doesn't even need anything special. If Anakin wins the PVP duel in the original, he still gets dismembered by Obi-Wan in the cutscene. Maybe just have Sidious blast Vader with lightning to prevent him from finishing Luke, since the plan was for Luke to kill and succeed his father as the emperor's apprentice.

All they had to do was remaster the original levels and add the new shitty movies, but the fact they felt the need to reinvent the wheel made the game flop so hard most of the people who have seen this video, forgot the game existed before it appeared in the recommended, and probably forgot about it again 5 minutes after watching the video

My biggest problems 1. No ability to replay episodes start to finish (including the open world segments) unless you start a whole new game 2. No large scale battles like in Lego Clone Wars 3. Too many pointless collectibles (The whole game philosophy seems to be quantity over quality) 4. Basically no ground vehicles 5. No air vehicles to traverse the open world (Republic Gunship for example) 6. No character creator 7. Post launch support was dropped after only a few months 8. Half-assed character pack "DLCs" 9. No Battle over Coruscant or Mace Windu vs Palpatine level 10. No enemies to fight in the open world except on extremely rare occasions. 11. Too much attention is given to the sequels at the expense of the actual Star Wars movies This game could've been SO much more. Video does a great job explaining my disappointment. Still can't help but love it regardless.

i feel like the sequels got more attention because they’re newer, but there are some characters (primarily in the sequels) that are there for one level and do nothing. *cough* *cough* Jannah *cough*

Me and my friend were very disapointed with anakin vs obi wan when doing it in coop. No need to explain why Another part i didn't like was the lack of training or any type of fighting bosses. I want to fight bosses without the need of something happen. Take fallen order training area for example. I use that a lot because i can be creative, Fight this while this is going on Thats what i wanted to do in TSS same thing with how fallen order did it Oh and pvp is kinda okay? But not. It would be cool to have the saber clash and have each player button mash the fastest. But its like BF2 dueling but more lazy if that makes sense. Only good thing i can say that you didn't menton was rebel friend. But a con to it was no Mustache man from that cutscean in TCS EP 5. Edit: Forgot to menton. Free play doesn't feel like free play at all in a lot of missions, I can't be the character i want to be in said mission? Bruh i clicked FREE PLAY not story play, Free play

Yeah, I really didn't like the character sheet or the class system. That would have been cool to fight the bosses like fallen order. But I think Fallen Order's system works better through adding enemies, each boss has a unique move set and all.

Your points about TFA game are spot on, it was drag for me to get through because i simply don’t care about the sequels but once you beat the story and go around unlocking OG characters the game got much more enjoyable for me
