The latest UK boxed-video game software charts have come through and there’s no change at the top for the majestic and feature-packed, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Last week it was the PlayStation 5 version of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga which proved to be most popular. However, this week it is the Nintendo Switch version.

I feel like I’m the only one who wasn’t really that impressed with The Skywalker Saga lol.
You’re not alone. It’s nothing special imo.
Neither was I lol. It feels just like the other Lego games, missing Lego City’s charm at that.
F=ma.
So if developers know that their game is a success, what’s the reason to not start work immediately for the sequel?
75% developers do this dumb stuff. Make a game, see it staying top 10 for weeks or months and don’t start work on the next sequel.
