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.
