Star Wars Outlaws Review - IGN

Star Wars Outlaws is a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration, but it’s hindered by simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch.

[Ezio2048]

I wonder if Ubisoft will ever be able to put out a 90+ meta game in future!

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown is the closest that they've gotten in a while.

[Eonjay]

The crazy part about this is that the game didn't sell well and this sends the wrong message to Ubisoft.

[-Foxtrot]

@Eonjay

Maybe because it wasn't the PoP we wanted.

[Profchaos]

Not in the AAA space but when they give small budgets to creative studios we get some good stuff along the lines of valiant hearts but it's been a while so I'm inclined to think they are just trying to pursue some sort of Live service goldmine but perfectly content churning out these average games until they hit it

[smolinsk]

But that is wishful thinking. About how to Reviews does there job. Nobody goes to the developer and ask for that stuff. That is a very small number. Of course the game will performe better with the day one patch. That's a given.

[thorstein]

Ubisoft fans (fans in general): Please give us Black Flag 2

That would be a 90+ meta game right there.

I can't imagine that employees there wouldn't love to work on a game like that.

[andy85]

I mean would it? Even a remake of Black Flag I'd argue wouldn't as I can't remenber an AAA remake that outscored the original. And that's a time when Ubisoft developed outstanding games. Ubi of 2024 are nothing like they were over 10 years ago so I don't see how a sequel is outscoring the original

[anast]

If there were a ton of unique encounters all with meaningful and timely leveling, no one would feel the need to visit their microtransaction shop to skip the intentionally boring parts of the game. I know some people don't feel this need, but many do which is why it's a feature in the first place, and why it will be difficult for an UBI game to get an actual high score.

[RaidenBlack]

Only the Remakes (if done right) might give them some chance ... the Splinter Cell and AC II Remake.
They're also working something interesting & different with AC:Hexe ... so lets see if that works out

[Christopher]

I mean, Immortals Fenyx Rising is a great game, but even it only gets to 81/100. Ubisoft is one of the developers where people can truly be honest about the games and they don't get hype because they're already known for big IPs that everyone is used to. So I don't really go based on the typical scale people are commonly used to now (only 80+ is good) and go based on more realistic ratings we had in the 90s (60+ could be good if it's your thing, 70+ was good, 80+ was amazing, 90+ is once in a generation).

[mkis007]

For me fenyx is ruined by all the damn currency's that take far too long long to farm.

[Elda]

Picking up my pre-ordered copy this Friday @ Gamestop.

[thorstein]

If you got the Gold edition, you get it tomorrow.

[Elda]

I'm just buying the standard. I can wait until Friday to start playing.

[thorstein]

I got the gold edition. I am picking it up tomorrow at 12! I am stoked.

[Demetrius]

I'm ready to get my copy as well Friday 🔥😎

[Profchaos]

The bugs in these review videos are unreal this really should have gotten a little longer in the oven to polish it up

[smolinsk]

Remember this is before the Day one patch

[Profchaos]

True however a good reviewer typically does go back to the developer and ask if these issues will be rectified in the day one patch and only include the bugs if they are not planner to be fixed.

DF has stated this many times they often delay their videos until patched are out of the bugs are visual

[smolinsk]

Looking forward to this game. Looks fantastic in every way. Absolutely playing this for the great Star Wars open World feel. First game to do that right. Is it classic Ubisoft Hollow Open World. Yes maybe. But love to roam there worlds.

[Andrew336]

N4G logic: Every mixed/bad review score is 100% accurate. Any good/positive review is wrong and paid for.

[cloganart]

UNLESS the users like it, then a 10/10 is "Well Deserved" otherwise a 8/10 is a death sentence.

[smolinsk]

Sadly but true. This is how the world works now.

[Goodguy01]

Cool, will get when cheap

[RiseNShine]

For an AAAAAA game, it's not looking good.

[RhinoGamer88]

Perfect buy for Black Friday. Discounted and patched to proper quality. #wait

[Chocoburger]

Perfect game to not buy ever.

[Rikimaru-00]

wow, that not what I thought this game would of gotten. I was looking for at least an 8. 7 still good.

[Demetrius]

I knew it'd be a 7-8 outta 10 type of game

[90sGamingWasBetter]

Definitely waiting for the price to drop on this one.

[DivineHand125]

Dispite all the hate this game received, I really thought this game was going to be amazing. I was even prepared to let this be my entry into the Star wars games since it doesn't appear to be lore heavy but unfortunately Ubisoft disappoints.

[Andrew336]

Based on this review of a 7? I don't know when a 7 meant the game sucked.

[thorstein]

Depends on where in the world you are from. For instance, in the USA, all public school students must get 65 to pass classes or tests.

A 64, therefore, would be a failing score. A score of 70, while passing, doesn't mean well done.

However, in some parts of the world, 50% (or the equivalent) is passing. So, to see a 70 would be a decent score.

[DivineHand125]

If it is a full priced AAA game then 7 is not good enough for me to make that type of investment. Especially when it is the bugs and glitches that cause it to lose marks. If the game comes down in price and Ubisoft fixes all the bugs and glitches the reviewer mentioned then perhaps I may give it a chance.

[46player]

Needs a disclaimer: “We received the game as part of a paid promotion.” (Like $100,000.)

This game is garbage bin material. Trash beyond patching.

[gold_drake]

damn, those bugs tho lol

[WolfSeed]

Ubisoft is dead. Every game feels like an Assassin's Creed with different skins and weapons.

[Haki1112]

IGN tore this game a new one and still gave it a 7? Classic IGN lol

[raWfodog]

That’s why I never buy games when they first come out. They usually need more work than just the day one patch. Let them cook it more. I’m not gonna be getting this game anyway until all the dlc is released and the complete edition is on sale.

[SimpleDad]

At this point... My face is tired of this game.

[druwepro]

Friday can't come soon enough!

[MaximusPrime_]

Unfortunately I have zero interest in this game. Probably thanks to the acolyte TV show.

[Eidolon]

Looks like a cookie cutter game with a Star Wars skin to me.

[Rebel_Scum]

I can hold out for this. Doesnt look anything special apart from just tickling your nostalgia.

[SoloGamer1]

do true gamers really give a crap about "game journalists" reviews anymore? I know i dont. Cant wait to paly this!
