I'm sorry but not even the iconic LEGO humor and the fact this is a LEGO STAR WARS game could have saved this mediocre and boring entry in the franchise. I felt like every level was a point A to B shore and the hub-worlds were unnecessarily exhausting.
I had no fun playing this game, it's probably the one and only LEGO game I ever hated.

Well this certainly was a hell of a lot better than the clone wars one. It vastly improved in many areas. It's a lot more polished. The combat and flying sections are much smoother. Gone are the annoying RTS sections and the gimmick that has replaced them is a 3rd person cover shooter segment that pops up from time to time. This is a fun and unique little addition that I've never seen in a Lego game before.
This game doesn't overstay its welcome and all of the little annoying things from The Clone Wars have been cleaned up for this one. Navigating and switching characters and collecting bricks is much easier and satisfying this go round.
Lego Force Awakens is one of the better Lego games I've played, unfortunately I'm a bit burnt out on them at the moment. I'll probably put off The Skywalker Saga for a few years after it comes out before I get around to it.

It's pretty much harmless. It's not bad, but it's not great either. The main missions aren't the best, the open world is fairly enjoyable. The optional content in general is pretty great, thanks in no small part to a great roster of characters. But if you stick to the main game, this is pretty dissapointing. The Lego humor has really taken a dip ever since they stopped using the grunts. Also, they try and make this game more similar to AAA games, with shootout sections notably, which I find... weird ? They just feel out of place, they're a change of pace, sure, but I'm not sure they're a nice change of pace, given that they're really simplistic. This game is just fine, the side content giving it an ever so slight push justifying its third star rather than it being a bang-average 2.5.
They really should have been way more patient and waiting for the rest of the trilogy. Game is too small and the extra quests suffer from the repetitive syndrome that also plagued Marvel Superheroes 2. Ship combat was actually pretty close to Battlefront level tier good. Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by me having my save corrupted TWICE. On me for not backing it up the second time, but I should that this is the only game I've ever had a save corrupt on before.
