Star Wars Outlaws boasts strong open world design and the swashbuckling and improvisational vibe of a classic Star Wars scoundrel story, but from technical rough edges to some dated design decisions to clunky movement, it's got more than a few significant issues that weigh it down.
Star Wars: Outlaws is a game only for hardcore Star Wars fans. For the rest of us, there's not much point in enduring it to the end.
Star Wars Outlaws is a new Star Wars adventure with everything you would expect from a game of its style. Moments of stealth, good shootouts and a convincing plot at the height of the saga, although with some flaws that make it not end up being a round game.

The best worst game I’ve ever played. The mechanics and some of the animations aren’t the best, but no Star Wars game has given me that feeling of being in a galaxy far, far away quite like walking into a cantina in this game.

I played Star Wars Outlaws through my PS Plus subscription. I didn’t have high expectations, so I was all the more pleasantly surprised. The gameplay loop—riding speeders, exploring the area, climbing, hacking, shooting, sneaking, giving orders to the Nix, and flying the Trailblazers—was incredibly entertaining and a ton of fun. The open world is beautifully designed and isn’t cluttered with question marks on the map. Some missions arise dynamically as you listen in or pick up on information. Both story DLCs further enhance the experience. I highly recommend it. I’d be thrilled to see a sequel.

I feel it's a very solid game, the graphics are top tier, as we're used to from Ubi, and the gameplay and quests are pretty decent for this studio. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, but the atmosphere is perfect, the fights are like 6/10, but otherwise a good Ubisoft game for me.

Outlaws feels like a proper Star Wars game, but isn’t tied down to the Skywalker saga. The world feels suitably massive, with plenty of places to explore, skills to learn and dodgy dealings to get involved in. Developers have cherry-picked the best moments from groundbreaking titles such as Uncharted, Tomb Raider and The Witcher to create a unique, cohesive Star Wars title.

Worth Playing
Overall, Star Wars: Outlaws delivers pretty much exactly what it promised. Players have the chance to take on the role of a smuggler to blast, sneak and fast-talk their way through the Star Wars universe. It does an excellent job of capturing the tone and feel of the franchise, and it feels like a Star Wars game should. It has its flaws and imperfections, but if you're looking for the chance to zoom around blasting TIE Fighters and outwitting the Hutts, it's exactly what you'd want.

To all the toxic haters review-bombing this game: you're destroying the industry. The gaming community really doesn't need people who trash great titles with pure negativity.This is hands down one of the best games of the last decade, standing shoulder to shoulder with masterpieces like The Witcher 3 and Mass Effect. I usually dislike Ubisoft, but the creators behind this project did a phenomenal job.Star Wars Outlaws is easily the most underrated game in history. People have gotten so used to generic trash that when something genuinely fresh comes along, they just can't process it.Massive Entertainment, thank you for creating such a gem!

They ruined such a cool concept. Reputation you get for each crime syndicate eventually does nothing. The reputation system could have had so much cool outcomes. The crew you gather actually does nothing outside of cutscenes. No shred of being helpful in gameplay. The droid in the main poster of the game (ND-5) could have added so much to gameplay but NO, god forbid this game have an ounce of fun in it. So basically they ruined such a good and fun concept.

Star Wars Outlaws captures the essence of the Star Wars universe with stunning visuals and engaging gameplay. It’s a thrilling adventure that stays true to the epic scale and feel of the galaxy far, far away.

Star Wars Outlaws is a production that pays homage to the source material in the best possible way. Despite a few imperfections, the gameplay mix between action and stealth works, and the credit for this is also to be found in the beauty of the settings that form the backdrop to the high-risk missions faced by Kay and Nix. The reputation system is interesting and well-crafted, and gives the idea of ​​being a scoundrel trying to survive in a world of unscrupulous criminals. A less empty open world that offered more satisfying activities would have made Outlaws shine even more, but in any case we are talking about a game that fans of the saga should not miss out on. In the seedy slums, where the help of the Jedi is absent and the law of the smartest prevails, with a sharp tongue and a "quick-legged" friend you can carve out a place for yourself in the great Star Wars universe.

Star Wars Outlaws turned out to be less of a typical Ubisoft game than I feared, offers a lot of great atmosphere and lets you roam around the galaxy quite freely, experience numerous gangster adventures and feel at least a little bit like a real smuggler. It can only gain in the coming weeks if the developers roll up their sleeves and fix some issues that include god-awful enemy AI and a couple of bugs.

Outlaws is an experience that, based on stealth and the most western adventure of Star Wars, offers a version of this franchise that we have not yet tasted in video games. It's not perfect and has several issues that are already common in this type of Ubisoft game, but it has heart and knows what to offer fans of the saga.

Massive bravely peels away the many layers of Ubisoft open world-isms in Star Wars Outlaws. It's a fatal error.

The best realized & crafted videogame Ubisoft have released in the past decade & the most meaningful Star Wars experience since the late 70's. Do keep in mind, the part of the gaslighting videogame community does always represent the absolute minority screaming the loudest out of mom's basement generating the widest sprectrum of attention with toxic negativity, because that's how we operate as a society on social media. This game is the perfect definition of an alternative Star Wars experience & one of the five games of this generation I had an absolute BLAST enjoying it.

Outlaws has a lot of positive traits, but some aspects that hold it back from being a great game. I like the reputation system with different crime syndicates, that give your main character positive or negative benefits with them, depending on your relationship with these syndicates. It does boast decent gunplay, cover mechanics, stealth, and a fun narrative. It does have some issues, including some idiotic guards who give up a bit too quickly, annoying lockpicking, and being bloated with side activities, but it's nowhere near as bad as I initially thought, nor is it as bad as people make it out to be.

It is so close to greatness it's actually painful. Exploration is fun, but overall disappointing when at the end the reward is a trinket or a paintjob, not useful materials or credits, which is frustrating when you're trying to unlock a better weapon for the ship. The ship, jesus, they could have added some character to that hunk of metal - how did BioWare come up with the Ebon Hawk and Ubisoft came up with this glorified bar of soap? The inside is awesome (especially the living room next to the cockpit, and it being a reasonably scaled ship) but from the outside? Mehhh.... The world design is gorgeus, but it's so easy to get lost or overlook the next opening or ledge, that I am regularly getting frustrated. The latest example is the spaceport exit (on foot) on Akiva, I was searching for the stairs on the minimap for 2 whole minutes... The mechanics are so janky, jumping from the grappling hook and either catching the ledge or not, failing a contract you're working on cause you get locked into a story quest during delivering the contract item, the freaking lockpicking minigame, the feel good food grabbing scenes polluted with horrible quicktime events... It feels like a series of bad design choices. When I was talking on the radio to ND5 and I arrived in the cockpit and the characters kept talking on the radio instead of switching over.... how hard would that have been to implement? FFS, RDR2 has the horse's balls shrinking in cold. The living world and the random encounters are awesome, except they turn into generic fetch quests most of the time. It's hard not to compare it to the Witcher 3, where even these had fun little stories written for them. Also, when I see a chest behind a door that I cannot unlock cause I haven't found the intel on a datapad lying around somewhere on the other end of the city... So Kay doesn't recognize a hidden button unless reading about it in a book? So unreal. Combat and stealth is actually fun, especially multiple the way approach every time I encounter someone, it almost feels like Dishonored - but the above mentioned mechanical issues constantly kick me out of the flow. I love Star Wars and I mostly enjoy this game, but it actually makes me sad how close it was to greatness. Just a bit more testing, a few better decisions and a layer of polish and it would have been actually great. Even today, the minor frustrating bits ruin the experience.

Fell through the map 2 times in 30 minutes in and after club tarsus on the single path that I could follow. More than a year after release I still had textures which failed to load on the tutorial level and I could just clip thorugh a path which Nix was supposed to open. An enemy searching for me walked right past me, while I was standing in an area where I was supposed to sneak. When I was found and they started to shoot at me I couldn't equip my gun. The first cutscene where I meet the crew froze and only the sound played. I've never seen this many bugs in a game and this was just the starter area and supposedly after many patches. This is a new low for Ubisoft.
