From the minute you begin your adventure, you’re thrust into several varied game types that feel fresh and visually engaging. I’m relieved to say LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the most impressive LEGO game to date. There’s always enough meat on the bones enough unlockables, gags, and puzzles to make the LEGO formula a winning one. Some years are better than others (2014’s LEGO The Hobbit & 2016’s LEGO Marvel’s Avengers) and some years are mediocre (2015’s LEGO Jurassic World) but it’s always been apparent to me that TT’s quality never dips below that. Of all the games I review, the LEGO franchise is notably the most prolific in terms of their output.

It’s that time again – time for LEGO, Traveller’s Tales and Warner Bros to rub their palms together and see what tomfoolery they can conjure with their second release of the year.
