Good, but needs improvements

So far I’m having fun playing this game. I enjoy how the levels are laid out, however repetitive they are. I enjoy being able to select a different class if I want to. I love being able to explore inbetween chapters. Most importantly I love the absolute freedom you get. The game is by no means perfect though. One thing I think the game needs is a faster movement speed for the players. Maybe even a run button would work aswell. Another thing is that the story chapters can drag on for a while, so maybe making them not so boring or drag on for so long could help. But the biggest issue is the multiplayer restriction. You need to be 18+ in order to even access the online functionality. Most other games require lower ages than this game. Some games would make sense to have the online for 18+, but here it just doesn’t make sense. This is a lego game, known to be super family friendly, so why then is the online restriction for 18+? I doubt many adults will be playing this, so it just means that a lot of people can’t go online. I think a more fair number would be 13\14+ cause children would understand it then. If this issue was fixed, it would mean more people able to play online. PLEASE fix this problem, it doesn’t need to be 18+ for the online features.

Money glitch gets worse, makes game completely unbalanced

Hi dev team, I’ve been playing this game since launch, and I’ve noticed a consistent downward trend in the currency I can earn from replaying the observatory holosims, making me and I’m sure many others want to quit playing. To earn rewards and complete quests, players have to play the same levels over and over, and so it becomes very noticeable and frustrating when a holosim can earn up to 1.6K bits, and then after this new update, only about 800 bits. I am breaking every object, defeating every enemy, even the respawning ones, and choosing the highest corruption level every time, so I KNOW this massive decrease is real. This makes the game a lot less fun because the high prices of items begin to feel unreachable especially when we are used to almost double the bits per holosim. It is also frustrating because in these levels, many times an enemy, corrupted enemy, or object will actually not drop money at all, where PRIOR to this update they would. They may even appear to drop bits, but then vanish as soon as they touch the ground of the level, resulting in a completed 3 tier holosim earning 4-8 HUNDRED databits less than previously. This change may not be intentional, and I’m sure the disappearing bits are a glitch, but it is unplayable and we need this to be fixed to continue working to earn rewards and therefore playing at all.

This game was surprisingly robust, but it is rather limited in content. Simulations that you play are fun but I feel like it should be a jumping off point to something more. Once the story is done, really not a lot to do. I understand that in this format the devs are limited to what’s doable in an mmorpg, and the game really has some nice moments, especially in the vehicle sim. The 3 environments are huge and your path starts at different points on the map. There are a lot of ships to unlock but really only 2 that stand out, the Y-Wing fighter and a ship resembling Boba Fetts, both of which have auto turrets and devastating missiles. The auto turrets pick up targets you would otherwise miss. Once you use them, the other ships abilities pale in comparison, like a force field that can only take one hit or a simple roll maneuver. My only other problem may be my own, but this game crashes often. I play on an iPad Pro but it could have an issue, though none of the other Arcade games crash. I would play this in a different format if they expanded the world and used the sims as a training ground before joining a faction of the force and having real battles. The basics are all there and it captures the charm of the Lego Movies. Tons of potential.

In the Star Wars Castaways game on Arcade / Mac there is a problem with the Imperial battleground where even my max level game (Lvl 15 support) cannot fight. I lost 30 -minutes- due to another player that was overpowering everyone. Each time I accessed the game I got thrown out or was unable to play against anyone. I've uploaded a screenshot of the players involved. This game was enjoyable until tonight. Gameloft or Disney need to either pull this game or remove hostile users. In another incident about a week ago. a player was repeatedly allowed to invite random players and then leave AFK the game. Nothing in the game stopped them from abusing it. You need to put controls on this game where it is RANDOM MULTIPLAYER. This is a basic and expected necessity in 2023. I should not have to send a screenshot each and every time. Why doesn't this game have a Player ID and Data Center listed for it? Mac isn't iOS, but MacOS isn't an option in the dropdown menu. Random matchmaking is a risky business for all video games. Game loft knows better. Apple Arcade might be silent for now, but it’s a big problem if your game supports hostile AFK activities by not allowing users to report or block hostile players. I don’t recommend this game for kids on Arcade at this time. Get them a console that sends user activity to a bigger network that will attempt to stop hostile “players.”
