2022 Games of the Year: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a game I almost didn't even pick up. My history with LEGO games has been extremely hit and miss, but I feel like there have been more misses than hits over the years.
When this game came out, I heard nothing but good things about it. Even that didn't convince me until I had a friend play the game and tell me that they had fixed most of my main complaints about past LEGO games. Namely, the levels are no longer straightforward corridors and the combat has actual mechanics. The game is still easy but that was never the problem. Now it has just a little bit more depth and that makes a huge difference.
The reason LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is making my list is because I had a fun time playing it with my daughter. As a single player experience I probably would have bounced off this game after a few play sessions but playing it with one of my kids made all the difference. The local co-op works great and we made a lot of our own fun destroying things and messing around in the semi-open level design.
As a single player experience this would probably rank lower but because of how much fun the multiplayer was, this one makes it closer to the middle of my list:
- Elden Ring
- FFXIV Endwalker
- Horizon Forbidden West
- Pokémon Legends: Arceus
- Halo Infinite
- Vampire Survivors
- Triangle Strategy
- LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
- Nobody Saves the World
- Unpacking
- Total War: Warhammer 3
- Tunic
