It’s been a while since I’ve played one of the ‘traditional’ Lego video games. Before the excellent Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, I’d not played a ‘pure’ one of these games in-depth since the first Lego Indiana Jones, even though I had minor flirtations with various Lego adventures over the many years since. I loved Lego Builder’s Journey and Lego City Undercover, too – but they’re different things.
Basically, it’s been a while. That fact has really enhanced my enjoyment of The Skywalker Saga, which is just a brilliant game, full of heart and jam-packed with content. Even now, when I feel less excited about Star Wars than perhaps at any other point in my life (cheers JJ), this game continues to thrill. But it’s also reminding me of something else…
I really miss Lego Dimensions. A late arrival to the toys-to-life video game craze that was kicked off by Skylanders, which itself was inspired by the trend of including bits of plastic tat with video games, it was brilliant. But not because of the toys.
