A charming recreation of all four movies and the best LEGO game yet.

Sardonic RPG parody in classic South Park style, clever and full of Easter eggs. If you don't watch the show, don't bother.

I really wanted to like this game. It's a little campy, but the FMV narrative is done very well. The music is fitting, the sound work is excellent, and the story is interesting enough to keep you hooked.

Unfortunately the UI is too buggy. The overlay frequently glitches out and ignores inputs. A number of times I had to leave an area and re-enter it just to select an option, and twice I had to force quit the game and replay a 30 minute section because the menu stopped responding.

Combine the UI issues with the unsatisfying cliffhanger ending, and I wouldn't recommend playing it.

For an interactive exploration game, there is a disapointingly small number of things to interact with. The atmosphere is well done, but there just isn't much substance to the game.

The first few minutes are an interesting study in discovery, wonder, and exploration. The rest of the game is a study in tediousness and poor control schemes.

Absolutely wonderful. A gorgeous and fluid platformer with mesmerizing music and a charming story. Worth every penny.

Never before have I seen such an amazing concept ruined by terrible execution.

For all of the time this game spends talking about design, you think the developers would have paid attention. Many of the levels are needlessly punishing, made worse by the infuriating controls. It's frequently possible to get stuck and need to restart the game. The "book" translations on the history of the fonts are poorly done and often nonsensical.

The visuals are nice, the music is fitting, but the gameplay itself is lackluster at best. Pick it up on sale if you must.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

I found the game far more frustrating than engaging. The turn-based combat is clunky, with the forced jumping infuriating. Many times I just needed to walk one or two feet, but wasn't allowed to. This is made worse with the inaccurate jump arc. I died far too many times from accidentily knocking-out an enemy and being pushed into an unexpected position.

Open engagements with a dozen enemies are an exercise in patience, jumping in circles and waiting for reloads just to be able to pick off one enemy. Even then, it's sometimes possible to be shot through a solid floor or wall.

I couldn't bring myself to play through even half of the game with these issues. For me, Ronin is not worth buying at any price.

A fantastic puzzle game with simple mechanics and complex solutions.
