Yesterday (April 6), the works on the shelves of major platforms, perhaps the "Star Wars" IP is too dazzling, according to SteamDB data, after the game was launched 2 hours after its online peak exceeded 82,000 times, although the peak number of "Lego Skywalker Legends" compared to some of the more well-known works data is not luxurious, but in fact, according to foreign media VGC survey, 82,000 online peaks are higher than steam's last Lego game "Lego Marvel Super Heroes" above the sky - That's a total of 12 times more.

In the current trend of popular open world exploration gameplay, the "Star Wars" universe of "Lego Skywalker Legends" is obviously a more high-quality game theme, in the developer TT Games to promote full horsepower, this work allows Gamelook to see a different Lego work, although it and "Lego Star Wars: Complete Legends" is indeed the same root, but "Lego Skywalker Legends" obviously has a more novel way of playing and content, which is why it can change the "decline", A big reason to reinvigorate lego's "Star Wars" vibe.
Multiple gameplay for immersion
LEGO Star Wars offers players a wide variety of options, and according to the official statement, players can explore the trilogy in any order - reliving the epic story from the nine Skywalker movies, and the beginning of the journey will depend on where you start in the trilogy, in other words, the game experience will become very different depending on the player's choice.
On the other hand, players can choose to spend some time exploring the open areas of the 23 planets in the game, in order to avoid the boredom caused by repetition, the actual levels in the game are much shorter than the previous LEGO "Star Wars" games, these relatively streamlined levels not only do not shrink the entire game experience, on the contrary, but also make the game world of this game larger, the levels are more concentrated, which shows the strong production ability of the development team.
In terms of choosing the experience content, players can enjoy playing any of the main plot according to their own wishes, and for the same event, LEGO Skywalker Legend also has a variety of solutions, such as encountering obstacles on the way forward, players can simply and rudely use the turret to blast the obstacles in front of them into slag; of course, we can also use props to prevent the spread of fire on the road ahead and continue to move forward in an elegant manner.
The "one problem, multiple solution" setup idea runs through the entire game flow, the above example can only be counted as the tip of the iceberg of "Lego Skywalker Legend", and this increase in diversity, increase content richness to help players sense of substitution, improve the length of the game is actually more common in games that focus on the story experience.
In any case, the development team has done this part of the task well, and the characteristics of this method are interpreted quite well with the help of the work.
The huge plot volume is also evidence that LEGO Skywalker Legends has the same magnitude of character settings - there are more than 300 playable characters for experience, there is no doubt that this game has the richest list of characters to date, while each character has unique abilities, and the development team in this game also added RPG-specific elements, that is, the skill tree system, players by completing puzzle solving, exploring the corners and corners of the game world, constantly collecting "Khober bricks" to upgrade the character skill tree, The role and composition are similar to the "golden bricks" in the previous game.
Different players naturally have different game behaviors in the game experience, which means that as one ability after another is lit up on the skill tree, the characters they play will gradually have a certain uniqueness, which is also an expression of the player's own image, which once again deepens the immersion of the game and lays the groundwork for the sense of achievement brought by the experience.

The game has a rich plot and character settings, but this has not affected the development team's polishing of the accuracy and details of the game content.
It can be seen that the characters who are active in the desert will also be stained with dust, and in the player's confrontation with the Imperial Stormtroopers, the sparks caused by the damage to the equipment will splash and steam, and the cone-shaped light pillars of the alarm lights will also be realistically reflected on the glossy floor made of blocks. From this point of view, lego games based on brick culture have not given up the patient portrayal of the real environment because of their rather cartoon model setting.
Although considering the rapid development of current technology and development tools, the screen performance of "Lego Skywalker Legend" is far more advanced than that of the previous game, and the sense of realism is also a relatively basic criterion in the current standards for players to judge the quality of the game, but taking ten thousand steps back, the development team can add real-world characteristics to the cartoon style game with bricks as the main element, in a sense, this positive move of polishing the details of the game is already worthy of recognition by the majority of players.
At the same time, the environment scene built by the building blocks will also give the whole game a more lively and vivid mood, and the player in the game's puzzle solving process, the characteristics contained in the word building blocks are even more in line with the experience process, so the building blocks, puzzles and real details are successfully connected in a certain interesting relationship, and the logical self-consistency is achieved in the entire experience closed loop.
What's more, the development team poison did not choose a rough restoration, only to repair, on the contrary, they updated the interpretation of the scene performance familiar to Star Wars fans, such as the opening plot of "Star Wars 4: A New Hope" and the scene where Darth Vader boarded Leia's spaceship. This new interpretation is not only reflected in the new CG animation, but also in the game's many missions and puzzles have been more or less reworked.
Better combat performance
Compared to the slightly thin attack methods in previous LEGO "Star Wars" works, LEGO Skywalker Legend has a long and higher performance in the combat system. In terms of melee combat, the addition of the combo system in this game makes the player's experience of fighting qualitatively change, as the number of combos increases, the character will use more powerful and efficient combination skills under the correct move strategy, but if the combo fails, or fails to form a blow, then it will give the enemy a breathing space to resist your next wave of attack.
In addition, in Boss Battles, players can't pass the level with the Face Roll Keyboard as usual, and instead use the correct combos and skills to defeat enemies.
The long-range combat of this game can also be described as colorful, the development team introduced the combat experience of TPS to enhance the fun of the game, specifically, TPS has a unique design advantage in the operation of bunker shooting, players can plan to eliminate the enemies one by one behind the bunker, to avoid the occurrence of hard and passive beatings, it is worth mentioning that in the gun battle, players can shoot the enemy's helmet through headshots, obviously, the enemy without helmet protection is very fragile.
In addition to long-range combat with guns, in Lego Skywalker Legends, players can also control a variety of spaceship vehicles to fight, and like common fighter games, maneuvering and other operations can also be implemented in this game. In addition to combat, players can also control the spaceship, enjoy the fun of open exploration in this endless universe, and find various hidden rewards and Easter eggs, such as players can follow the pace of the canon movie and blast the Death Star to get rich rewards.
It can be said that "Lego Skywalker Legend" got rid of the previous formula and successfully presented the classic flavor of "Star Wars" with the help of better technology and updated ideas at present. First of all, the change in ACT gameplay will be a great tribute to the largest sci-fi IP ever; second, whether from the perspective of a new camera or from the greater differentiation of classes such as the Jedi, the experience of the new editor of the work content is very fresh; finally, the performance of the plot is also more interesting with the unique nonsense funny elements of Lego.
In addition, the development team has respect and reverence for the "Star Wars" generations of works, and the same is true for Star Wars fans, which is a very rare attitude. However, this way of interpreting "Star Wars" cannot be called the best way, but if it is not, it must be better than any series of iterations in history, and we need to wait and see how it will perform in the future.
