But the new features don’t end there - in fact, far from it. The Skywalker Saga also includes a faster running ability, similar to that found in games like Lego Marvel Superheroes 2, which makes getting around much easier.

Aiming is now significantly easier to employ, using the left trigger, and it’s possible to take cover behind obstacles simply by running up to it. Both features have appeared in past games, but they have been completely overhauled here, and for the better. This improved perspective also means you can take better advantage of the improved aiming and cover mechanics. That means you’re closer to the action, for better immersion and generally easier gameplay. However, the perspective has changed, with The Skywalker Saga putting you behind each character rather than the camera tracking you from above. The core principle certainly hasn’t changed, with players blasting through levels made of Lego bricks with a rotating cast of characters - each of whom has different skills and abilities.

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga’s gameplay will be instantly familiar to anyone who has played a Lego game before.
