LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is one of TIME’s best 2022 video games

TIME magazine has published its list of top ten video games for 2022 – and a LEGO title has earned a spot on it.

For a certain breed of LEGO fan, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has been a hotly anticipated video game. The title is one of the most ambitious LEGO games ever released, allowing you to replay the events of the nine main movies in LEGO form. It also boasts a number of open-world areas, and a character list numbering in the hundreds. Several new characters have recently been added to the game, giving fans a reason to return to it if their play has lapsed.

With LEGO, Star Wars and the LEGO Star Wars games incredibly popular, it’s unsurprising that the game has earned both attention and accolades – including a recent nomination for best family game at the 2022 Game Awards. TIME’s profile of the game highlights its accessibility, varied combat and an overall smoother experience than previous LEGO games. The result is a game that should be on a few Christmas shopping lists – particularly as the game has seen significant discounts in the months following its release.

That said, the game is at the number nine spot on TIME’s list – perhaps reflecting that this is, at heart, still a familiar game design. On the other hand, when we consider the game is going up against the likes of Resident Evil Village, Elden Ring, and God of War: Ragnarok, its position anywhere on the list is impressive.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC platforms. While God of War: Ragnarok (the list’s top entry) may not get an official LEGO tie-in, you can build a couple of its main characters using existing LEGO parts – which may serve as a worthy compromise.
