STAR WARS™: Squadrons

Don't make the game VR if it doesn't support VR Motion Controllers. Trying to use a keyboard/mouse/controller with a VR headset is really annoying and challenging. Especially if your headset is not setup to be run right in front of your keyboard. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME

Terrible game where every mode is unfun. Not just "not fun" but actively antithetical to the concept of enjoyment. I came back to this hoping that I was mistaken during my time playing this years ago when I still had Origin or whatever it's called now and Epic. At four dollars and some change, it was worth the attempt...he thought to himself. I couldn't get past the first mission this go around of the "Campaign" as I'm committing blatant infractions like flying within feet of TIEs taking off from their ships. It's so the devs can be like "look how cool this all is" except no. One wrong move and I'm killing people or damaging equipment. I'd realistically be lucky if the Empire ever let me fly again, but this is Disney era Star Wars so we gotsta show off the mouse's money. I know it doesn't get better, because for every character I like there is another that is molten hot cringe. The Trandoshan pilot who ticks off the "scoundrel" archetype because we need our umpteen billionth Han Solo rip off or the Imp pilot who unironically says she survives because she's angry all the time. Bruh, Disney, you have actual money to hire actual writers, please do so, that way we get more of that cyborg Imp pilot who survived crashing on three separate occasions in a fighter that is a deathtrap to even fly. Let me hear more of that guy... I never got past the mission way back when that hard stops the story so you can learn to drift. That's real. No no, the fight against galactic tyranny can wait, you go out there and teach the new guy how to Fast and Furious his space fighter... The Dogfight mode is dog doodoo, since nobody thought that it'd be a little imbalanced to pit a fighter whose sole existence depends on speed, numbers and a nearby base, the TIE, against a fighter designed with shields, the X-Wing, in equal numbers. Every match was just the Republicans turning their shields to max and going full "Allons Y" as they rammed the hero's TIEs, which, yes was effective, but only because the makers of this Star Wars game didn't care about balance. Fleet Battles. "Squadrons' signature mode!" to hear that a-hole in the vids, is a far cry from the O.G. Battlefront 2 space combat. Instead of having, you know, options? We get to sit back and watch as the game dictates to us, the players whether or not we should be attacking and will happily spawn in escort ships to teach us a lesson about doing what we want or think is fun in this video game we paid for. Trash. Pure and simple.
