I do think people are a bit harsh on this game considering it's a solo adaptation of The Force Awakens, which is divisive (personally, it's boring, but inoffensive, and viewed as a solo film, it's fine)
Story-wise, it adapts The Force Awakens, and ONLY The Force Awakens. This means a LOT of padding where the previous games had some leeway in story.
Gameplay-wise, I did like the OTS segments and the "build what you want" parts, but the game being totally on-rails from beginning to finish with the rest of the movie really held it back.
Overall, just get The Skywalker Saga.

You can tell Disney gave the developers 2 Arby's meals instead of the one Arby's meal they usually get. This game feels very high budget compared to the other Lego games. The animation is great and the graphics are great, and they even keep the Lego charm in it as well. 100% it was a bit confusing but I eventually had fun with it.
