Great atmosphere ruined by dated, frustrating mechanicsIf you enjoy games that complicate basic systems just for the sake of artificial friction, this might be for you. Otherwise, stay away.While the music, world-building, and lore are fantastic, the gameplay design is full of tedious, archaic hurdles. A prime example is the character progression: you can’t even spend your skill points or unlock new abilities while exploring. You’re forced to stop your adventure, trek all the way back to town, and visit the Review Board just to "approve" a level upgrade.Combine this with an overly confusing map, rigid grid-based combat with frustrating mechanics early on, and constant backtracking, and the game becomes a chore rather than an enjoyable experience. If you don't have nostalgia for 80s dungeon crawlers that disrespect your time, give this one a pass.

"Star Wars Outlaws has a lot going for it. The core gameplay is fun, the story is engaging, and several of the side quests are surprisingly good. However, the overall enjoyment is heavily ruined by the character design. Most of the character models—especially the female characters—look remarkably poor. Even the main protagonist looks terrible in-game, which is baffling considering the actual actress used for the face model is very attractive. It could have been a much better experience, but these visual and character rendering choices really pull it down."

Its a fun game without the hassle of pvp. if you like fun somewhat challenging pve games go for this one

"The game has potential, but it falls flat due to some deeply annoying design choices. The combat feels confusing and restrictive, and you can't spend your ability points unless you find specific Salutators. The major issue is that the game gives zero clues on where or how to find them. I ended up finishing the entire game missing half of the Salutators and holding onto a mountain of useless, unspent ability points. It could have been a great RPG, but this progression design completely ruined the experience for me."
