For me SW Outlaws is basically exactly what you see on the tin, so to speak, which works just fine for me. It's a "typical" open-world Ubisoft game, akin to the AC series, but with a Star Wars skin and a bit more focus on gunplay with blasters rather than typical assassin-kit/melee combat. I had a good idea of what to expect when I bought the game (on sale I will add), and it delivers on what it does do fairly well in my opinion.

I like the main character and her little buddy Nix, as well as some of the supporting cast, and the story is fairly decent, albeit somewhat standard (for lack of a better word) for a "plucky outlaw" focused game (don't expect a lot of Jedi or force-powers focus). The gameplay is also pretty good if you know what to expect from most main-title Ubisoft games and are looking for that kind of experience to immerse yourself in with a Star Wars flavour added to it. I could see some people having issues with the concept of having to pick and choose who you do jobs for and trying to juggle different factions' reputation, but other than that I have nothing really to complain about really.

All in all, a fairly solid game for what it is, and whether or not you would enjoy it or not is mainly based on if you know what to expect already and are in the market for that, or if you have pre-set expectations about what it "should have been". I try to go into most games with a fairly open mind so I can enjoy what is there rather than blaming a game for not being what I personally expect it to be, and with that mindset I have been enjoying the game so far for what it is.

The game felt a bit soulless and repetitive. It gets boring fast and the story isn't that interesting.

I absolutely loved Star Wars Outlaws 10/10 for me.
I honestly don’t understand the negative takes out there. Maybe there were some bugs at launch? I’m not sure, but playing it now, it’s a fantastic experience. If you’re into Star Wars games, rich lore, and that immersive world-building the franchise is known for, you’re in for a treat. The attention to detail, the characters, the environments, everything pulls you right into the galaxy.

A must-play for any Star Wars fan.
