Kotaku : Ubisoft's open-world adventure set in that galaxy far, far away is something fans have always wanted.
As a big Star Wars fan and video game lover, I’ve long dreamed of a game just like Star Wars Outlaws: a massive open-world action game set in the Star Wars universe that would let me rub shoulders with Jabba the Hutt while freely exploring every inch of a planet like Tatooine. It’s wild that it took this long to finally get a true open-world Star Wars game. And while it has some frustrating flaws, the experience Outlaws offers is worth it.
In which our intrepid hero teams up with an iconic space pirate...for better or worse.
But then this guy would've made an obscure Spin Doctor's reference, and no one wants that.
OMG,
I am quoting Toy Story because Baba doesn't know art: the Princess Bride quote from beerhound.
It isn't inappropriate. It's movie quotes.
Experience Star Wars Outlaws on Nintendo Switch 2 starting September 4, 2025. Dive into the Gold Edition featuring all DLCs and exclusive content.
I like Star Wars games. I would have bought it if they gave it a proper physical release.
I don't why people feel the need to even say it. Plus the PS5 and Series versions are basically the equivalent of keycards as you need internet to download the rest of the game anyway to be able to play. 😆
For example, I bought the PS4 version (full build on disc) of Jedi Survivor, released a year-and-a-half after the gimped PS5 physical release (key disc).
If you’re so close to release and already perfectly optimised why haven’t we seen any of it in action. It all seems very strange even releasing comments of the scepticism of it even being able to run on the switch 2 while still not showing anything… and offering the whole package at standard price… something doesn’t add up. Just show images or videos and quiet all the naysayers down or quit with the BS.
CCG writes - "Star Wars Outlaws is fun, kept me engaged for about 90 hours, and Kay is a fun character to explore four fairly large environments with. It does a good job of faithfully representing the Star Wars galaxy far far away and stays mostly true to the lore and established characters. There are tie-ins to several of the movies and shows such as Solo and The Empire Strikes Back. If you like Star Wars and you can overlook the subtle and unnecessary woke expressions, then you'll likely enjoy the game. In my humble opinion Outlaws is over-priced at $70 for the standard game, so you may want to wait for a sale."
Kotaku is still around?
The gameplay is OK. The jumping is meh. The combat so far is a little bland...but the world is absolutely wonderful to see. I'm only on The 2nd planet. Glad I got it with ubi+. Will get on sale at some point.
Bukaku gave this game a positive review. Why am I not shocked?
