Star Wars Outlaws

When you buy a product from a AAA developer, you expect high-end, or at least high-fidelity, not recycled and packaged crap. Star Wars Outlaws is a textbook example of a supposedly top-tier developer assembling a third-rate product, stitched together like a patchwork quilt from bits of old code from previous products, packaged in a new cover. Watch Kay Vess open a chest, watch the scene. Then watch the scene of Lara Croft opening the chest. Compare. There's no difference. Only the characters' appearances and the words they speak. A complete cloning, code transfer from game to game. There's also a similarity to Lara—Kay jumps, climbs, and leaps in exactly the same way. The covers are different, but the essence is the same. Or Kay Vess and her companion Nyx, and Cal Kastis and BD-1... There's no difference. Unification—borrowing ready-made solutions and entire chunks of code from older products, libraries, to improve product reliability and development speed? Well, yes, that makes sense from the perspective of a solo developer trying to save money. But for a AAA developer, it's cheap, and from the buyer's perspective, it's like being served a flatbread made from recycled crap ten times over instead of a fresh steak. I bought the game on sale, at a good discount, and I overpaid. The game isn't even secondary, it's tertiary—a carbon copy of a carbon copy, completely lacking in originality. So, I'm almost finished with the game and can now give a fully informed opinion. As I said above, I hate borrowing, plagiarism, and copy-pasting solutions in everything. It's cheap. The game is a copy of previous Ubisoft projects, and that's cheap. It's disrespectful to customers who are forced to pay huge sums of money for an unoriginal project cobbled together from bits and pieces of old games. The ad: "Meet the first-ever open-world Star Wars™ game!" It's a lie. There's no open world. There's a fixed number of maps, locations, and missions. Totally linear. There's absolutely no variability in the game. All your decisions in the main campaign are hardwired into the system. There's no opportunity to make choices, only as stated in the script. The result is predictable crap. They wrote about how well the criminal world was written. Nonsense. The criminal world is superficially and schematically written, and the character's interactions with the syndicates are also superficial. As Kay said, the Resistance is just like the syndicate, and it's true, they're all the same – gray, faceless, boring, uninteresting. The script is crude and empty. The motivations and backgrounds of all the characters, except for Kate and the robot, are superficially written. The graphics, the interface, the user experience – everything is familiar, nothing new or fresh, in other words – it's just old hat. To sum it up: it's pathetic. If I weren't paying for this, well, you never know, some clowns decided to save money and slapped together something third-rate from used parts and junk, but trying to sell it as a super-duper product, especially as "the first open-world Star Wars game," is a cheap disgrace.

I love (mostly) everything Star Wars. However, I want to be immersed in whatever game I'm playing, and I don't feel that immersion when I'm playing as a regular woman beating up droves of men that are much bigger than her. The gameplay loop is insufferably repetitive. The locations changed, but the boring gameplay stayed the same everywhere I went. Sneak around, attack NPC's from behind, send your pet to open things, climb and swing your way to your target. That said, it's a beautiful game; so there's that. It was a game that I used to waste time, pretty much. Nothing spectacular about this. The storyline was both bland and predictable. This new era of Disney-esque Star Wars does absolutely nothing for me. It's all predictable slop. 5.5/10 -- only get it if it's on sale

Unoptimised pile of crap, I have a pretty decent PC, sure 4k does not work in most games, but on this even on low settings, 1080p it stutters.

I really tried to like it but, it is just more Ubi-Trash. Even buying it on sale... I really like the idea they had but, you can tell that Ubisoft does not care about story or gameplay. They just want to push out products and care as much as they can. The programing and animations or lazy, when you have start up companies doing better with new IPs, that have smaller budgets you know there is a company wide issue. Ubi-Soft you had the dream spend time making something fun, instead I feel like I am working, you were given a Universe that has a huge fan base and you still drop the ball...

unfortunately i have seen that this game ain't gain a lot of sales and attention from gamers and i am so mad cuz the game is actually damn good, i like this game so much. the most exciting experience which i have ever had in star wars franchise, steals system is so decent really, i am the fun of steals game so yeah i do love it, it is not the level of metal gear solid, but it ain't a bad either. the plot is so interesting, but the main twist is pretty predictable and i don't like it, but i like the connection between characters and u start to get attached to them. open world is really decent, it is working as it needs to be, u don't need to clear all "?" in the map, while u are going to the quest or mission the level design always will lead u to the interesting place so yeah it is working - absolut. the syndicate system is so good i fw that, but in the end and more to the half of the game u are actually are capable of making excellent relationships with every who are in the game, but anyway it feels fresh and interesting. upgrading so so so so so coolest and yeah the game feels like rpg but u don't have "exp" and yeah the way they dealt with the upgrades the best thing i have ever seen in games in this genre, u just need to try and mark my words u won't regret. quests are cool i like them, main quests especially are the best though i recall some of the sidequests and they are really decent and interesting. level design is amazing, the game looks fascinating and beautiful especially how they created planets and filled them, pay my respects. i am so eager for the sequel, but i doubt it's gonna happen cuz the game didn't get the sales which publisher desired, but i hope eventually it will. the thing i don't like the most, that the game started being a little boring and it is really feels after the plot twist when u actually thinking yeah i almost finished the game, but it ain't. so my mark 7/10, please buy this game i do wanna to see the sequel in the future, peace

Massively disappointing game. Open world my ass. I love star wars but this is a lara croft/ assasins creed load of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ if i ever played one.

I should have known not to buy this crashing ubisoft trash
