Grafik kalitesi ve oynanış bakımından tam bir hayal kırıklığı. Grafikler oyunun çıkış tarihine kıyasla oldukça vasat. Eğer bilerek böyle yapıldıysa büyük tahlisizlik olmuş. Kesinlikle daha iyi görünmesini isterdim oyunun. Zaten her yer boşluk. Geri kalan öğelerin kalitesi güzel olmalıydı. Oynanış ise hiç eğlenceli değil. Oyunun yüzde doksanında sizi kovalayan düşman gemilerini vurabilmek için neredeyse duracak kadar yavaşlayıp dönmeniz gerekiyor. Aksiyonlu kovalamacalar maalesef oyunda yok. Bu bir yerden sonra sıkıyor ve hatta baş döndürüyor. Zaten oyunun ana amacı bu. Bu ana amacın böylesine dandik olmasıda oyunun tüm oynanırlığını benim için bitirdi.

Pros - the game looks gorgeous - the controls feel easy to understand yet are still quite complex - the feel of sitting in a cockpit is unmatched - even better in VR - the ship and loadout variety leads to some pretty fun customization // Cons - the MP portion is mostly dead (2026) and the two matches a day you find is full of meta-slave sweats What a ride this game is. When it comes to Star Wars flight simulators no game does it better than Squadrons. The ship variety and loadout variety feels so fun. Off rip, this game looks so gorgeous. From the cockpit design to the battlefields littered with debris you have to strafe around this game does not miss. One of the rare examples where VR is not a gimmick and actually enhances the experience. I have never felt so fully immersed in a flight sim in my life. So good. Then there is the gameplay. It's so good that Republic ships have four different modes where you prioritize speed, guns, shields or balanced and feel so different from Empire ships that have no shields and instead you focus speed or guns with balanced being an option. The different turret and missile attachments made me actually look for my favorites and made the later battles so much fun. The amount of options in which you can command your squadron and even play support ships is beyond cool and I wish I played back when the multiplayer was worth engaging with. Because as of February 2026 the multiplayer I experienced was awful. Long, long, long, long queue times and meta-slave sweats made me give up after two days of getting five total matches and all of them feeling the same since everyone who still plays has everything unlocked. That being said, depending on what you buy this for and at what price this game highly varies in quality. If you buy it for the single player without VR support it's an 8. With VR (which is how I experienced it) the single player is a 9. With or without VR the multiplayer experience is like a 2. So know what you are buying this for and you will have a good time.

Star Wars: Squadrons is a solid space shooter game. It has exciting and engaging vehicle combat that's boosted by a variety of mechanics that add tactical depth. This is coming from someone who isn't big into Star Wars or space shooters. But because I don't really care about Star Wars (I don't hate it), the story is uninteresting and forgettable. Multiplayer is also dead, but the singleplayer alone is worth the $2 that this game sometimes goes on sale for. Video review of this can be seen on the Gaming Gems YouTube channel.
