Star Wars Outlaws Review - The Final Verdict

Star Wars Outlaws does have its strengths – its surprisingly organic open world and how it encourages exploration, its fun, swashbuckling story, how effectively it captures the scoundrel fantasy – but ultimately, the game feels just a little bit too rough.

From its technical issues to its inconsistent writing, from some of its dated design decisions to the clunky game feel that pervades the entire experience, this just feels like a game that needed another year in the oven.

I'm going to be playing plenty more of Outlaws in the days and weeks ahead, being the hopeless Star Wars sicko that I am, but in the state that the game exists in right now, I'm not sure I'm going to have more fun with it than I will with that toy lightsaber that I bought.

An open world Star Wars game like this would have blown my mind as a kid in the late 80s. Too bad they didn’t make the most out of it.

I’m still not over 1313’s cancellation

“Just needed another year in the oven”. You could copy/paste this into the reviews for 90% of AAA game releases. Something is broken with modern game development. They all seem to bite off more than they can chew. Pretty much none of them release finished games anymore.

they messed the actress up so MUCH good lord

[iAkis]

aaah a UBI game, that means the game will be ready in 10 months after the release ..

[LaMOi]

INSTANT FAIL STEALTH MISSIONS = NO BUY

Seriously, I thought we had done away with those kind of crappy mechanics.

Let us reap the consequences of our actions, that’s far more fun, especially in a game about being a space pirate .!

hope you didn't pre-order your lightsaber toy

[alansteel]

If this video was written by one person and voiced by another. Who owns the lightsaber?

[bigfish]

It'll be on sale by Labor Day. Which is a few days after release.

[mixey]

and that's why you never pre-order from Ubisoft

[abraxis]

With the fact that they NEVER completely fixed the performance issues of the last Jedi game for the PC, I have lost all faith in the AAA game producers when it comes to Star Wars titles. So, I will get this one on deep discount or when it is reported that it is absolutely fixed.

Massive missed opportunity to not have a fake surrender command, so instead of instantly being booted back to the last checkpoint you instead grab the persons weapon and have one last chance to either get away or take out the enemies.

I knew it, no way we were going to get Wukong and a beast of a Star Wars game. Dodged a bullet with this one.

im looking forward more to Lollipop Chainsaw Repop and that game is over a decade old

[conandrake]

" You were the chosen one ! "

PS2 was the golden era, it’s been downhill since

[Percyvideos]

I have cancelled mine and I will wait for a big sale. Games are too much nowadays anyway

[manchumuq]

Gaming Bolt is one of the very very very FEW credible gaming media today.

[kontranorth]

It’ll be $30 on Steam in less than a month

[keittomaster]

What the hell?! The girl they hired for the role of Kay is gorgeous… why did they make her ugly in the game??
