  • Fun co-op game mechanics
  • A lighter take on Episodes 1-6

Most of the Star Wars universe is already family-friendly and arguably meant for younger children (as in suitable for them). However, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga takes this a step further by introducing a version of Episodes 1-6 that lacks the dark undertones of the movies while adding fun game mechanics for everyone to enjoy.

The game is full of crafty puzzles, interesting encounters, and over 20 different planets to explore. While it can be played by one person, playing it co-op with someone else really elevates the experience, making collaboration and like-mindedness one of the key elements to progress through the story. All in all, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga deserves more than one playthrough.

  • Interesting perspective on the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire
  • Various Clone classes with different weapons and equipment

Any player who was old enough to play the original Star Wars: Battlefront 2 upon its release can attest to how big the game was and how many people loved it from day 1. At a time when the Clone army was widely unpopular due to Order 66, this game lets players take on the role of Clones in the 501st Legion, offering an interesting and different perspective on the infamous events around the Jedi purge and the rise of the Empire.

Battlefront 2 has it all. From a wide range of different Clone classes to play with, to various planets, missions, and Jedi or Sith to call upon when troop numbers are quickly being depleted. The game has a lot of replayability potential, as the story, the narration of it, and the combat mechanics, make for a timeless classic that never feels old.

  • Pristine lightsaber combat that will make players feel like a Jedi
  • Awesome platforming that's a lot of fun
  • Excellent boss fights

Few Star Wars games have managed to introduce a new character and impeccable lightsaber/Force combat mechanics as perfectly as Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order did. Back in 2019 when it was first released, the game let players take on the role of Cal Kestis, one of the few survivors of Order 66. This title was overall a very pleasant experience with a rich story and fun platforming levels within planets. However, it could be argued that the sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor surpassed its predecessor in many ways.

For starters, new lightsaber combat modes are introduced, allowing Cal to try different combos to deal with the various enemies throughout the game. Platforming is also greatly improved upon, and the story leaves virtually nothing to be desired. Completing the game to 100% takes, on average, about 54 hours, and it's almost an absolute certainty that players will want to start a new journey as soon as they're done.

  • Raw Force power that exceeds anything ever seen in the cinematic universe
  • Epic final fight against the strongest Sith in the galaxy

One of the most common complaints among Star Wars fans is that Galen Marek, the protagonist of The Force Unleashed, has never made an actual appearance in the movie franchise or in any of the series. However, there's good reason for that. Players who've completed the game and its sequel are well aware of how ridiculously overpowered Starkiller (Galen Marek's nickname) is. With Force powers strong enough to defeat Darth Vader and even to bring a Star Destroyer crashing down from outer space, he is (as Mace Windu would eloquently say) "too dangerous to be kept alive", let alone have significant involvement in the cinematic universe.

Players can create a seemingly infinite amount of lightsabers of unique designs thanks to the plethora of parts found in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed lives up to its name, as it lets players control Marek's raw power to defeat legions of unfortunate Stormtroopers, droids, and rogue Jedi. What makes this game so replayable is how well-crafted the story is, Starkiller's redemption arc, and the limitless possibilities of unlimited power paired with a wide range of different Force attacks.

Lightsaber combat is also great, but there's just something about lifting enemies in the air and launching them towards the ceiling at inhuman speeds.

  • Huge plot twist near the end of the game
  • Turn-based combat that feels fluid
  • Puzzles, mind challenges and various side quests

There's no point in dancing around it. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is arguably the best single-player Star Wars game to ever exist. It has so many different layers to it that make it interesting, that a separate article would probably be necessary to name them all. With rich planets full of creatures, foes and friends with various side quests, likable companions with deep backstories, turn-based combat, mind-challenging puzzles, and a massive plot twist, Knights of the Old Republic never disappoints.

The graphics and game mechanics are, naturally, quite outdated. However, that's one of the things that make it so great. The game feels old, but in a way that feels nostalgic and simple—no microtransactions, no controversies, no unnecessary features and mechanics that clutter the experience; just pure, unbridled fun. Players will have to survive the many dangers of the galaxy while seeking the Star Map in the ultimate quest to reach the Star Forge and thwart the Dark Side's evil plans.

All in all, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic should be played at least once per year, as there are always new things to discover and try.
