LEGO® Star Wars™: TFA

Brick built battles and flights in a playful Star Wars adventure

Set in the world of The Force Awakens, this brickscape retells the film’s key moments and includes a major story spoiler, so it is best experienced after you have seen the movie. What follows is a lively mix of platforming, piloting and driving, with character swapping and slapstick humor leading the charge.

Story missions rotate you through Rey, Finn, Poe, Han and BB-8, with villains like Kylo Ren and General Hux available to unlock as you progress. Updates have even added extra stages inspired by Episode VI, and there are around 15 characters to collect overall, giving completionists clear goals beyond the main campaign.

Moment to moment play spans three distinct modes. On foot, you run, jump, solve light puzzles and trade shots in cover-friendly blaster skirmishes, with sabers and gadgets keeping things varied. Vehicle sections let you steer, ram and fire through set pieces. The standout is the flight combat, which looks and feels great despite the blocky aesthetic, delivering satisfying dogfights that will please anyone who misses classic space shooters.

A signature Multi-Build mechanic lets you assemble different contraptions from the same pile of bricks. Rebuilding a turret into a bridge or a trampoline into a catapult changes routes and encourages repeat runs to see alternate solutions.

The downside is the business model. While the base download is free, substantial chunks of content sit behind paid packs, and the all-content season pass is positioned as the straightforward way to see everything. That means full completion is not possible without spending money, and the add-ons can feel pricey.

Tone wise, the humor skews young, leaning on visual gags and gentle chaos. Adults may breeze through the difficulty, but the flight sections and the series’ charm make it an enjoyable time sink. Some players have reported hiccups after certain updates, though later patches aim to address those issues. If you can live with the paywalls, it is a bright, brick-filled adventure worth a few hours of your galaxy far, far away.
