Is Star Wars still worth playing in 2026?

An adaptation of the film from JVC, Star Wars has you play Luke Skywalker and his allies across levels inspired by the trilogy, blending platforming, shooting and piloting phases, up to the Death Star assault. The fidelity to the licence, the variety of sequences and the soundtrack drawn from the iconic themes appeal, despite a fearsome difficulty and sometimes rigid handling. The ambition stays notable for the machine. For a retro action adventure fan, a Star Wars fan or someone curious about blockbuster adaptations, the title keeps a faithful atmosphere and a real variety.
