Star Wars: Unlock! review

I've been a fan of the Unlock! series for a while now, and I was really excited to try out the Star Wars themed set. It's definitely a fun experience for any Star Wars fan, and it brings the escape room feel to the table in a really cool way.

The game is broken down into three separate scenarios, each one taking about an hour to complete. My family and I typically take a bit longer, but we don't mind. The puzzles are engaging and well-designed, although I found a couple to be a little too challenging, even on the easy level. But the game is really rewarding when you finally figure things out.

One thing I really like about Unlock! games is that they're replayable, even if you know the solutions to the puzzles. You can always try to beat your previous time, or see if you can find more efficient ways to solve the puzzles. That makes them feel a bit more engaging than other escape room games.

I do have one small gripe with the game, which is that the app for the Star Wars Unlock! is separate from the regular Unlock! app. That means you have to download a new app, which is a bit of a hassle. I'm hoping that the publisher will consolidate the apps in the future, but it's not a deal breaker for me.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend Star Wars: Unlock! to any Star Wars fan or anyone who enjoys escape room-style games. It's a fun, challenging, and replayable experience that's perfect for a family game night.
