Why Star Wars Outlaws Surpasses Expectations

Alright, so let’s dive right in. Star Wars Outlaws… remember when it launched last summer? Yeah, not the smoothest ride. Kinda like trying to fly the Millennium Falcon without a nav computer. Forums erupted—everyone wanted to know, “Is it any good?” Well, if you yearn to channel your inner Han Solo, navigating the shady corners of the galaxy, then heck yeah, it’s worth it. Totally.

Now, what was the deal with those stealth sections? Ugh, auto-fail nonsense—that’s what! Thankfully, a November 2024 update ditched it. Imagine sneakin’ around and then bam, caught by a trooper? That was a buzzkill. Post-update, you can just go full DeVito style—shoot your way out. Honestly, the gunplay? Chef’s kiss. Tried playing it all stealthy, but sometimes a Stormtrooper face needs some pew pew.

And now, without those annoying fails, there’s some real stuff to dig into here. It’s like a planet-hopping Disneyland for Star Wars nerds. Kijimi, Cantonica… did someone say Tatooine? Seeing Mos Eisley, the cantina? Absolutely wild. Did Han shoot first there? Who knows, but Jabba’s Palace has its little secrets waiting.

Would I say Outlaws is flawless? Nah. It’s like a smorgasbord of features, typical Ubisoft swagger. Collectibles here, side quests there—basically, a buffet. But hey, if speed races aren’t your jam, just skip ’em! I ignored every speeder race; didn’t miss ’em one bit. Preferred the climbing and shooting. Felt more Indiana Jones in space, if you ask me.

Let’s talk about Sabacc. Seriously, this should be its own game. Gwent who? The mix of strategy and chance—it’s Vegas-worthy. Usually, I skip DLCs (because, who has the time?), but the “Wild Card” mission? Couldn’t pass it up. Suspense, cards, chaos: it was a wild ride.

And oh, there’s more. “A Pirate’s Fortune” hit shelves on May 15, possibly tying a bow on new content. But don’t fret! It’s landing on the Nintendo Switch 2 soon. Imagine blasting through space or betting on Sabacc while on your commute, or even between Mario Kart stints. Bliss.

So, if you tried Star Wars Outlaws and bailed, or if you’re in the market for a sprawling adventure that pulls you in, give it another shot. Honestly, the Sabacc alone is a ride, I promise.
