LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is almost half off forBlack Friday 2023, so long as you’re buying a physical copy from Walmart.

With simple gameplay and a fair bit of humorous twists on what would normally be serious fare, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a lot of fun, combining the joy of building things in LEGO’s timeless aesthetic with the epic adventures afforded by the Star Wars universe. Young kids can unlock their favorite characters to roam around with. This isn’t a remaster or remake of the older LEGO Star Wars games, so you’ll be playing in scenarios from the movies that have been completely redesigned.

I’ve had fun going back and dredging up nostalgia with this game, and while youcanplay by yourself, co-op with a friend or family member is going to be more rewarding for everyone. It’s a gorgeous game, with a surprising amount of visual detail in the scenes, and it runs especially well onXbox Series X.

In ourreview of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, editor Rebecca Spear wrote that “The silly LEGO logic subverted my expectations and allowed me to view these classic stories in a whole new light while making me laugh every few minutes. This humor was especially well done in the original and prequel trilogies.”
