There was never really a time during these opening segments – or the entire game, for that matter – when one player idly sat by while the other did all of the legwork it’s balanced in a way where everybody has something vital to contribute, whether it’s hacking panels as a droid, or hooking objects as one of the more hands-on characters. Both roles depend on one another in order to progress throughout the mission, which made teamwork feel genuinely necessary in order to succeed. Having played the entire game in co-op, it was really enjoyable to revisit the opening of the film with one player taking over Poe, while the other was BB-8. We begin briefly before the actual opening of the film, with Poe Dameron being told to head to Jakku in order to retrieve the map to Luke Skywalker. Opening with a prologue which will no doubt be pleasantly surprising to avid Star Wars fans, the game then goes on to tell the story of The Force Awakens through 10 chapters – each packed with subtleties and nuances that can only be admired if you stop every now and then to take them in. It’s also a hell of a lot of fun to play. Not only does it manage to capture the magic of Disney’s latest episode in the iconic series, but it adds on to the narrative in a meaningful and effective way. Marking another instalment in this now staple videogame franchise, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is an astonishingly fun and creative game.
