Star Wars Outlaws

I honestly don’t understand all the hate this game got. Is it perfect? No. I ran into a couple of bugs during my playthrough, but nothing game-breaking. Most of them were the kind of odd issues you Google once, work around in five minutes, and never think about again. Beyond that, this has been one of the most enjoyable Star Wars games I’ve played since Knights of the Old Republic. Massive absolutely nailed the atmosphere. Walking through cantinas, dealing with crime syndicates, playing Sabacc, flying between planets, and just existing in the Star Wars universe felt fantastic. It captures the “scoundrel” fantasy better than I expected. Kay Vess is a surprisingly likable protagonist, Nix steals every scene he’s in, and the worlds are gorgeous. The reputation system adds some meaningful decision-making, and the game rewards exploration without making every objective feel like a checklist. If you’re expecting a revolutionary RPG like KOTOR, this isn’t that. But if you’re looking for a fun, immersive Star Wars adventure where you get to live the life of an outlaw, it’s absolutely worth your time. For me, this has been the best Star Wars game since KOTOR—and that’s about the highest compliment I can give it.

Für mich eine der besten Star Wars-Erfahrungen der letzten Jahre! Wer Bock hat, so richtig tief in die Star Wars-Lore einzutauchen, ist hier genau richtig. Ich habe mittlerweile knapp 75 Stunden (inklusive Add-on) auf der Uhr und würde jede einzelne Sekunde davon sofort wieder investieren. Das Spiel ist kein perfektes Meisterwerk, aber für Fans ein absoluter Traum. PRO Lebendige Atmosphäre: Die Welt – und allen voran die Städte – fühlt sich unglaublich lebendig und organisch an. Man versinkt komplett im Star Wars-Feeling. Story & Lore: Für mich gibt es kaum ein besseres Spiel, um so tief in eine Star Wars-Geschichte hineinzublicken. Umfang & Langzeitmotivation: Das Hauptspiel zusammen mit dem Add-on bietet massig Content, der mich über 75 Stunden lang gefesselt hat. CONTRA Künstlich gestreckte Spielzeit: Die Hauptstory ist stark, aber die Entwickler mussten sie leider mit den typischen, nervigen Schema-F-Nebenmissionen zukleistern ("Infiltriere X", "Töte Y", blabla). Das Ruf-System kann nerven: Man wird indirekt extrem zu diesen Nebenaufgaben gezwungen. Wenn dein Ruf bei einer Fraktion im Keller ist, wird das Spiel zum puren Horror – du kannst dich in deren Gebiet nicht mehr frei bewegen, weil dich sofort alles und jeder eliminieren will. Die Weltraum-Kämpfe: Die Passagen mit dem Raumschiff haben mich persönlich eher genervt. Das fühlte sich irgendwie deplatziert an und hat den Spielfluss gestört (aber wer's mag, dem sei es gegönnt). FAZIT Trotz der zähen Nebenquests und den schwachen Weltraum-Fights überwiegt das fantastische Mittendrin-Gefühl. Wenn ihr Star Wars liebt, macht ihr hier absolut nichts falsch. Von mir gibt es eine definitiv Kaufempfehlung inklusive Add-on! Wertung: 8/10 erschossene Sturmtruppler, die den Alarm nicht rechtzeitig ausgelöst haben.

It's very unstable FPS, it's stuttering, jumping from 60 fps to 35 or 75+... And CPU temps over 90c also jumping up and down just mess. Game itself is decent, story is ok, views are ok, gameplay bit childish level tho. Quests navigation not the best either, can take i awhile to figure out what to do.

Bought it on a sale to see if it really is as bad as some people make it out to be. And it really seems to be. Don't even know if the story is all that bad, but already ran into bugs and crashes early on. Maybe if they ever fix all the bugs it might be worth the sale price. They really should've just let EA handle this franchise, because clearly it's too much for Ubisoft to handle.

Positive review, HOWEVER , here´s some fun facts - I am 3 hours in and every single bartender, quest giver etc so far is female.. - the only male characters that have shown up are either aliens or droids. if not one of those, they are villains. Every single white man in the galaxy seems to be a villain. feels a lot like the "acolyte" series in that regard. these are the facts, they might bother you or they might not. however - Beautiful graphics - Phenomenal set designs , walking around the cities is fun - Big maps and fun to ride on speeder bike - fun minigames (the card game is great) - ok combat, could be better but it does its job. - ok voice acting, not great but not bad. - great photo mode - great music it´s a fun game so far...

does need an ubisoft account

Абсолютное разочарование во всех аспектах. К концу длс я забыл чем кончился основной сюжет, настолько неинтересная история, отталкивающая как личность ГГ (максимально тупая ЧСВшница криворукая), скучная боёвка, система крафта. Не спас фансервис в длс в виде калрисиана и хонды. Ни разу еще не писал негативный отзыв на игры, но эта- прям отрицательный шедевр, преступление промолчать, такое не должно создаваться. Не рекомендую к приобретению даже со скидкой

It's not a bad game, but Ubisoft's launcher is a disaster. Wish I could refund this. Why does every Star Wars game have to go through an obnoxious, unnecessary third party launcher, anyway?

This is my all-time favourite Star Wars game. I downloaded the Demo some months back when it was discounted 95% off and just £5.00 roughly, but hated it. I was confused at the mechanics, couldn't find where to go, and felt nothing for any of the characters. I chose not to buy it as it didn't seem worth a fiver. I'm so grateful to the friend who convinced me to give it a second chance. Starting properly at the beginning of the game, I quickly got hooked into the story and started caring about the main characters. Baffled why they chose the part they did to be the Demo, but this is genuinely the most immersive and Star Wars feeling open world game. I've played hundreds of hours, and will definitely play hundreds more. Ignore the Demo - download the full game.

I couldn't force myself to keep playing. I hated AC Mirage at first with how clunky it was, but i kept playing and it became fine (100% it), but this game is just something else entirely in how bad it is. The gameplay elements in this game is just so bad that i wouldn't recommend anyone picking this game up, even at its 75% disc rate that i bought it at. 1. The stealth in this game is simply bad. Considering its a Ubisoft game and how they've worked on AC series, i expected better. If you're infiltrating, get caught, and died, reload to a save, the enemies you knocked out to pass through is back alive. So lets say you finish the job from that save, you go back out the same way, they're all alive and in some cases its nigh impossible to break through without getting detected and having to blast your way through. I think they tried too hard to prevent us from save scumming in this game, when almost all stealth games rely on us to learn the map and enemy behavior, then retry for a perfect run if we ♥♥♥♥ up. 2. I get motion sickness chasing random pirates on the ship. Its not even fun chasing bugs on your screen which goes around you and forces you to keep rotating this oversized ship which cant rotate fast enough. Maybe if i sticked with it and became better at it, this wouldn't be an issue, but it was so bad that i just stopped wanting to interact with anything related to the ship. 3. Contract system is a bunch of fetch quests that ultimately makes reputation and decisions in the main quest doesn't matter. Some of the quest also still have bugs on it. They tried to emphasize too much on RP experience instead of gameplay experience. I don't get the single try contracts as well, when it just means that you have to go back to your ship, check contracts, take them, and then go out again, wasting 10 minutes? These contracts failure also persists on your save even if you make them before you fail them lol. 4. The world exploration is horrendous on the speeder. This is speaking just from the first world you're in, maybe its better on the others but i don't believe it can be at this point. Its quite barren in terms of content, landmarks with treasures that are cosmetics and doesn't do anything to your character (basically a waste of time doing them). Some of them has parts for upgrades but i always sigh and feel pissed off when the treasure is just some keychain for your speeder. I can say a lot more bad things about this game if i kept a note of every single thing that frustrated me when i played it. Dying makes you lose money instead of reloading a save, wanted system, ability unlock requirements that isn't retroactive, Kessel Sabbac has too much RP, etc. The only good thing about this game is your pet Nix being cute thats it. I can't believe i got baited by youtube about how this game has gotten better. If this is a lot better, i can't imagine how bad it was during release. EDIT: I ended up finishing it because of sunk cost fallacy. The frustrating part of this game, the stealth, becomes irrelevant once you get upgrades and just blast your way through everything. The ship has gotten better once you get the upgrades, although i still hate it a bit. The main quest in itself is quite interesting but nothing special a 7/10, there were still parts that made me frustrated, something like "why is this traversal puzzle still here in the penultimate section of the story", completely breaks the pace. There are a lot of things that i just wish was more polished. The reputation system, how enemies respawns, how you could affect the world around you. You do this main story where you decide who the Queen of Ashiga clan is, but nothing really changes to the world. No matter how many times you betray factions, you can just go to a Miyuki Trader, buy syndicate data, and restore the rep. You can also just kill an entire base of any faction and they'll just respawn at the exact same place and treat you the same if your rep is good enough. What they could have done was lasting decisions where if you side with Crimson Dawn in the first area, maybe the Pyke Syndicate territories becomes Crimson Dawn's. The contracts you'll get from Crimson Dawn will be much more and more oriented to stealth, while if you side with the Pyke you'll get more smuggling. I feel like there is so much potential but it was just not there. I feel like they could delete this rep system and nothing would change much about the gameplay. My biggest gripe about this game is still the open world. I absolutely hate figuring out where treasures are, spending a lot of time on it, to only receive speeder/trailblazer coatings, that does not have any impact to your gameplay. In CP2077, you do all this NCPD scanners and gigs because you need the payout for better chromes, faster/combat cars, level up, and most of them also have a little bit of story from them through datapads. Since there are no such things as levelling in this game, and unlocking abilities are through experts, the side missions/contracts feels something you don't even wanna do. If you're considering whether to buy, the main quest is decent, blaster combat is fun, the world is beautiful, stealth is meh, open world leaves much to be desired. If you can get through the first hours in this game, at least until you complete all main quests in the first world, you'd probably have a decent time. I still can't recommend this game, there are still a lot of unresolved bugs, outdated/frustrating gameplay elements. If you've played better games before this, you'd be as frustrated as i was at the start of this game.
