Star Wars Outlaws

Manche Games darf man einfach nicht zum Release kaufen. Ich fand es einer der besten Star Wars Games bisher!

I was very pleasantly surprised by this game. It has such a unique charm that you just don't get in other games. That does not excuse the horrible state it was released in, but at least it was updated and turned into a game that more so matched the vision they conveyed during its marketing cycle. What this game does get right is the "Star Wars-iness" any fan of the franchise could ask for without relying on the Jedi. The gameplay is solid. It's pretty simple and straight forward, but has a lot of depth with the expert skills. It's one of those games where you really don't need to use any of the skills to get through the game, BUT you will have a more enriched experience if you do. I don't really like this, I wish they were more confident in the systems and made it necessary to use all the tools in your belt. It's better than if there were no skills, but it does kind of make them frivolous without direct player initiative. The story is a very cliche "gather the team to do a heist for one last big job" type. It is very paint by the numbers, but where this game succeeds is in the characters. While Kay is not the deepest of characters, there is some good development as she goes from a sort of awkward cocky thief to a more established career criminal. Her dynamics with Nix and ND-5 are of particular note and I found myself very invested in thier little conversations and how they slowly warm up to each other over the duration of the game. The gameplay loop can get very repetitive because the contracts system is unlimited and copy paste. However, you can very easily break that monotony by cycling contracts, treasure hunts, and main quests at a steady pace throughout the game. The game does not do the best job at pacing these things and will kind of pile a ton of quests on you if you let it. That is a design issue, but not game ruining. This game does have a few bugs that seem persistent. Not very excusable especially after the updates. Sometimes quest triggers will not appear and requires reloading. Sometimes interaction triggers will appear that aren't supposed to and can cause some confusion especially when some of the quests are very specific about what you need to do. There are some visual glitches such as black clothing flickering white in certain lighting, very immersion breaking. I have also seen some players have rare, but still possible game breaking soft locks that requires a later save, or a complete restart to fix it. I did not have this issue and I was able to run the game at max settings with very few problems. Most of the time this game is gorgeous. All in all its a very solid 7.5/10 for me. If the game was less buggy it'd be an easy 8. I think the technical aspects, a pretty formulaic and lack luster story mixed with some weak game design decisions and repetition hold this game back from being one of the greats.

The story and Kay Vess are a lot of fun – not the deepest narrative, but engaging enough to keep you hooked from start to finish. The open world is where the game truly delivers. Exploring the different planets feels great, and the atmosphere nails it – visually stunning and it genuinely feels like Star Wars through and through. No complaints at all. Everything comes together really well and the game never loses its momentum. If you're a Star Wars fan, this is an easy recommendation.

I am loving this game! I know it got a lot of hate for various issues at launch. I have just started playing it Jul 2026. I have played most of the star wars games, new and old. This game is similar in production to fallen order and jedi survivor, however a different gameplay style. In terms of immersion into the universe I would say outlaws is BETTER! I loved fallen order and Jedi survivor but if you are looking for a more open world, immersive star wars experience this is it. I don't usually like the stealth style games but I think this does a great job of making it enjoyable. Highly recommend that you give this a chance if you've avoided because of the initial issues.

8/10

i really wish i could rate this game mid, but to be honest, the cons outweigh the pros. i enjoyed it at first, but after a while, i noticed a lot of bugs and just clunky gameplay features. Going into this, i thought it would be kind of like Red Dead 2, just 7000 years in the future, but to be honest, you cant really be that bad, even though you are a wanted criminal on the run from the law. In my opinion, the game could be some much more fun if your choices REALLY affected your life, but you can only mess with the Empire and the syndicates. The graphics are also kind of mid, and the NPCs feel and look like robots in a human outfit. There are also some very annoying bugs, like the game crashing mid game or your speeder running into a imaginary wall. Overall, the game was fun at first, but then the "Open World" felt dull and empty.

a solid star wars RPG, this is a step in the correct direction to restore faith in the brand for fans.
