STAR WARS Zero Company™

Runs like hot garbage. No specs, settings adjustments or updated graphics drivers improve the performance at all. Performance drastically declines even more the further into the game you go to the point where it becomes nearly and occasionally wholly unplayable. If they can get the performance issues patched up, it is a pretty fun game. Decent enough Star Wars game Decent enough XCOM game, with some crummy/broken mechanics. Also kinda cool to play as Zero Company during the Clone Wars period, who, if you didn't know, later go on to train every stormtrooper in the Empire how to aim. Or at least that's what I assume given how well they shoot in this game.

5 hours into Expert Beskar and boy o boy is it hard. But man I'm having fun. Prob my GOTY.

X-Com but Star Wars it could be amazing. As of now I can't comprehend how it has positive reviews, the day 1 optimization is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, random crashes making you restart missions is great for replay ability. Sometimes the game just crashes on start up for no reason then just works. Other times game gets stuck in the end turn animation. Overall its a continuation of the gaming industry we've come to accept, barely works but simps will simp.

Apparently it has a freeze at end of mission bug on PC which is one of the most annoying bugs to have because it waits until you spend your time completing the mission before erasing your progress. I've encountered this myself and read online about it happening to others. What a shame. I'll change my review when it's fixed.

Currenty unplayable on PC, the worst optimization I've experienced in a long time, a loooong time. Too bad because it looks promising, but EA just jammed an other game through their ""developement system"" expecting consumers to gobble it up because Star Wars ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯ Will probably hang onto the game but negative review stays up until they figure out the correct optimization.

The game itself is genuinely great. I am having a blast But performance is atrocious. I have to run medium/low settings, DLSS and 2x frame gen on 1080p to make to game enjoyable. Still the texture visibly load for split second with each cut in cutscenes, taking away from the experience. If you love XCOM like games and don't mind awful performance, or running frame gen, go for, otherwise I can't safely recommend till the game gets properly optimized.

A Return to the top for StarWars games! Zero Company allows the player to live out a multitude of diverse and varied StarWars fantasies, while presenting an exciting and gripping story. Gameplay is fun and feels different every time you load into a map, you could take the same 4 characters for the whole game and still have completely different interactions and outcomes. When you use different abilities, they feel impactful and exciting. Zero Company really builds on what XCOM established, with unique ways to progress your characters and establish them as a breathing part of the StarWars universe! Story - I am only 7 Hours in, I have touched the surface and am already enthralled and eager for what is to come. So far its gripping and makes sense for the time period (Which is important as this game is CANON) Graphics - While some may say more could be desired, the graphics are never a selling point for a turn based tactical rpg. That being said, they are nice and allow you to feel you are in a realistic universe. It also lowers the strain on your computer :D Customisation: The outfits in this game are wonderful, they are not over the top, but just right! Wanna be a clone trooper? Go for it! Wanna drip your-self out and try to be the next Han Solo, be my guest! What I am saying is that there are many ways to make your created characters unique to yourself, or simply just bad-ass! Purchasing the Deluxe edition also allows you to wear ARC TROOPER armour! Zero Company has a charm rarely seen in the games these days, which is refreshing, as it feels the devs really care! Dare I say it props to EA for not rushing this game! (Though Lucasfilm probably kept them on a tight leash) TL:DR If you like StarWars, give it a go. If you like Tactical rpg's, this Is a great one. If you like both, it is a match made in heaven and you should not pass it up. Its also nice to see a game not release at the stupid £60 and above price tag. I would say 10/10, without being biased, probably a 9/10! I love StarWars :D
