Review

Star Wars Outlaws is a bold venture into the Star Wars universe, offering fans the first-ever open world experience set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Players assume the role of Kay Vess, a daring scoundrel seeking freedom alongside her loyal companion Nix. The game impresses with its vibrant, expansive worlds, drawing you into both beloved and newly introduced planets. The narrative is both gripping and personal, set against the backdrop of the galaxy's criminal underworld. While the game embraces the rich lore of the Star Wars saga, it does tend to lean on familiar themes, which may feel repetitive for longtime fans. Additionally, performance can be a concern for those with older hardware, and the AI occasionally falls short of expectations. Nonetheless, Star Wars Outlaws is a standout addition to the franchise, capturing the essence of adventure and rebellion.
