Star Wars Outlaws

Feels like a Ubisoft copy paste game cuz it is a Ubisoft copy paste game. The good parts are the worlds and environments. The bad is everything else from the dialogue to the infinite enemy spawners.

Even with a massive discount, this game is not worth spending your time on. The game does not respect your time and tries very hard to artificially prolong the experience. The writers did a horrible job with the main character. The only consistently likable aspect of her character is her pet, which isn't even really about her. Yet the game seems to assume that players will automatically care about her. The strongest part of her character development is [spoiler] taking away her pet [/spoiler] - and again, that's mostly about the pet, not her. The rest of the plot feels like a bunch of checkboxes the writers needed to close. There are very few interesting ideas or memorable character moments. The game design isn't much better. The big reputation system becomes irrelevant VERY quickly. It initially looks like it's going to be an important part of the game, but eventually it's basically just a few EXP bars you can max out and forget about. The core gameplay isn't fun either. Shooting is boring. Stealth is boring. Climbing usually feels like a waste of time rather than actual gameplay. The puzzles are fine. Slicing feels like a cool idea at first, but it's so undercooked that it becomes repetitive very quickly. It had the potential to stay relevant throughout the entire game, but never really develops into anything. Surprisingly, I think Sabacc might be the strongest piece of game design here. I genuinely like how cheating is implemented and how different abilities interact with the game. It feels like one of the few systems that actually has some personality behind it. Weirdly, it also feels like the developers themselves didn't have enough confidence in it. But the artists absolutely cooked. The game is beautiful. Some of the environments are genuinely gorgeous, and the art team did an amazing job recreating the Star Wars atmosphere. That's probably the saddest part of the whole thing, because all that incredible environmental work is attached to a game that I found painfully mediocre. Technically, though, I can't complain much. I didn't encounter many bugs during my playthrough, and certainly nothing major. Maybe a few misaligned assets here and there, but that's about it. One thing I kept thinking about while playing is that this game feels like it was VERY different during the prototype stages. This is obviously just speculation, but I refuse to believe that the current main-character-and-pet concept was the original vision from day one. A lot of the game makes much more sense to me if the original idea was a generic or customizable outlaw character in a "choose your own adventure" type of game, where your reputation and decisions actually shaped what kind of criminal you became. My guess is that at some point in development they looked at the Jedi games and decided they also needed that predefined protagonist + cute companion dynamic, and the current protagonist and her pet were built around that direction. Because right now, the main character often feels like an afterthought placed on top of systems that weren't originally designed around her. Some locations reinforce that feeling. A few of them genuinely give you several different ways to progress, almost like they survived from an earlier prototype where player choice and systemic gameplay mattered much more. But most locations just give you multiple paths so they don't look like long corridors. Sometimes they sprinkle in a puzzle or an alternative approach, but usually those paths are just another way to waste your time. The reputation system feels like another leftover from that possible earlier vision. It feels like it was supposed to be a major mechanic that shaped your character. Instead, in the final game it's basically just a few EXP bars you can max out and forget about.

Game is poorly optimized even 8gb graphic memory and 16 gb ram of my rog ally is strutting gameplay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIXjrgOoOjo Stepping into the boots of a scoundrel navigating the galactic underworld provides a fun premise, but the execution ultimately lands in aggressive mediocrity. The visual design across classic planetary hubs captures that authentic original-trilogy aesthetic really well, and your creature companion Nix adds a cute, handy dynamic to both stealth and puzzle-solving. However, the core gameplay relies on overly simplistic, mandatory stealth sections and repetitive open-world contract loops that quickly lose their appeal. Combat feels floaty with limited weapon options, and the dynamic syndicate reputation system ends up feeling more like a mechanical checklist than a living world. On the technical side, it demands heavy hardware to run smoothly without frame dips during busy town areas. It is an okay Star Wars distraction, but it never pushes past feeling thoroughly average.

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

Незаслуженно захейченая крутая игра, с понятными и приятными (что редкость для убейсофт) персонажами, простым сюжетом без кринжового пафоса, кайфовым стелсом и приятной стрельбой. Я полностью не понимаю всего этого хейта вокруг игры если относиться к ней не как к убивце игр с открытым миром, а просто сюжетному стелс-экшену то она получилась прям добротной. Я бы наверное не пожалел бы даже за фулл прайс взять, по скидке точно можно рекомендовать.

does need an ubisoft account

This game didn’t deserve the hate. The game is so full of little details that make the world feel alive and there’s nothing like soaring through the environment on your speeder. I’m so sad it won’t be getting a sequel - it definitely deserves one.
