Alright, let’s dive into this unexpected mess. So, Star Wars Outlaws kinda stumbled onto the scene last summer. People were, well, not overly impressed. You see forums going wild with “Is it worth it?” Pfft, I’d say if you ever felt like channelling a bit of Han Solo, then yeah, why not?
Initially, lots of folks were annoyed by those auto-fail stealth bits. I mean, who wouldn’t be? But hey, they patched that in November 2024. Now, if someone spots Kay Vess sneaking around, you can just unleash your inner Danny DeVito and start blasting. It’s like a stress reliever, honestly. Sneaking’s fun, but sometimes you just wanna blast Stormtroopers, ya know?
Once you ditch that pesky auto-fail feature, Outlaws opens up in a kinda cool way. There’s planet-hopping! You visit places familiar to Star Wars fans like Kijimi and Cantonica. And Tatooine? Yep, it’s there! Mos Eisley and even Jabba’s Palace await, with some cheeky little Easter eggs. Nostalgia, right?
But hey, I’m not saying Outlaws is flawless. It’s packed with stuff, and you get the usual collect-a-thon of a Ubisoft game. Don’t feel like doing it all? Don’t bother. I’ve skipped the speeder races entirely—except when space battles are mandatory. There’s enough climbing around and shooting to keep you entertained without diving into every little feature.
And then there’s Sabacc. Oh man, who wouldn’t want this as a standalone game? It’s like Gwent from The Witcher 3, but in space. Simple, nerve-wracking, and just Vegas enough. Normally, I pass on DLCs—just too many games out there, you know? But the “Wild Card” mission? Couldn’t resist; it’s all about high-stakes Sabacc action. Edge-of-the-seat stuff.
Oh, and just a heads-up: they released “A Pirate’s Fortune” DLC. Not much to chew on, but it might be wrapping up Outlaws’ content. But guess what? It’s coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 in September! Imagine playing this while waiting for your turn in Mario Kart World. Madness.
So, if you jumped ship early on, or just want an open-world adventure, maybe give it another shot. Honestly, Sabacc is worth it on its own.
