Ubisoft’s highly anticipated open-world game Star Wars: Outlaws is getting ready to meet players after receiving worldwide media reviews. However, the initial reviews of the game have led to mixed reactions. Major game review sites like IGN gave the game a score of 7 out of 10. The scores given by other major companies are also not very encouraging. Here are the details…
Star Wars: Outlaws review scores revealed: Expectations appear to have dropped
The review site IGN also explained why it gave it a 7 out of 10. According to the company, the game lost points due to its repetitive content and technical issues (bugs). On Metacritic, the PlayStation 5 version of the game received a score of 77, while the PC and Xbox versions received a slightly higher rating of 78.
One of the criticisms of Star Wars: Outlaws is the limited number of vehicles that players can control . Unlike the freedom expected in a modern open-world adventure game, players can only use their default vehicles, which is disappointing. Additionally, the game’s stealth missions contain familiar elements from the Assassin’s Creed series, which is far from providing players with a unique experience.
The game ‘s combat system has also received its share of criticism; it has been described as repetitive and sometimes cumbersome, which negatively impacts the gameplay experience. Furthermore, numerous technical issues encountered during the game, such as NPCs (non-playable characters) dropping their weapons or vehicles getting stuck on slopes, can test players’ patience.
If we briefly talk about the game, in the Star Wars universe, in the story set between the films “Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi,” players control Kay Vess, a young bandit. Kay, who forms a team to carry out a major heist, struggles to survive in an open world full of various challenges. The game will be released on August 30 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series SX and PC platforms.
This game, which players are eagerly waiting to embark on a new adventure in the Star Wars universe, is being released with great expectations, but it seems that some technical and design deficiencies will not go unnoticed by players. Let’s see if the game can find a place in the hearts of Star Wars fans despite these deficiencies.
