Star Wars: Outlaws initial thoughts after playing the game

As a lifelong Star Wars enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the galaxy far, far away, I must say that Star Wars: Outlaws is a refreshing addition to the franchise. Coming off the heels of the disappointing Rise of Skywalker and the lackluster Battlefront II, this game has rekindled my passion for the saga.

As a die-hard Star Wars fan, I’ve recently immersed myself in the thrilling world of the latest video game sensation: Star Wars: Outlaws. Over the past week, I’ve been captivated by its gameplay, and I can’t help but share my initial impressions. Here’s a rundown of what I think so far about this extraordinary galactic adventure.

To ensure that no surprises are ruined for those who haven’t played the game, I’ll do my best to keep my descriptions general and not reveal too much about the plot details.

As a die-hard fan, I find myself stepping into the boots of a character named Kay, who’s got a knack for trouble and a strong desire to escape the notorious planet Cantonica – often recognized as the casino planet from “The Last Jedi”. It’s only fitting that an outlaw like me should start my tale in such a lawless, desolate place, seemingly untouched by both Imperial and Rebel forces.

This game is set during the time period between ‘Episode V’ and ‘Episode VI’, and it ensures a certain amount of encounters with both rebels and the Empire. However, its primary focus revolves around the shady criminal underworld that thrives while the Empire is occupied with their ongoing struggle against the Rebel Alliance.

I’m drawn to that feature of the game since it gives Star Wars a more expansive feel. It’s intriguing to imagine all the captivating tales unfolding throughout the galaxy during the famous scenes from the movies, with characters who may not even be aware of the larger galactic battles between the forces of light and darkness.

In the first season, “The Mandalorian” TV show resonates effectively due to its portrayal of a less black-and-white, morally ambiguous side of Star Wars. Here, the characters are primarily driven by personal advancement rather than adhering strictly to righteousness, offering a refreshing shift in perspective.

As a gamer, I dive headfirst into this gritty underworld, and it doesn’t take long before the action ignites. Quickly, I grasp the intricacies of diverse criminal gangs, each with their unique dynamics. My choices, though challenging, matter significantly, shaping my standing with these ruthless groups. The Pyke syndicate and the Hutts aren’t exactly forgiving, so decisions that might tarnish my reputation with them are far from simple. But the thrill of having control over my destiny, of making this game my own, is what truly brings it to life.

The gameplay is strongly built up. It’s quite like “Jedi: Fallen Order”, but with a noticeable difference – instead of using a lightsaber, you carry a blaster. Instead of BD-1, your loyal companion is Nix, a charming little creature who often helps you escape tricky situations or find your way when you’re lost in specific areas.

In total, I’ve played for nearly two hours and found the game incredibly enjoyable. There’s still so much more to explore within this game that I can hardly wait to uncover. If you’re hesitant about purchasing it, let me assure you it’s well worth your investment. It appears to be a significant addition to the extensive Star Wars video game library.
