Star Wars Outlaws

A major merchandising point ofStar war Outlawsis that the game does n’t go for a distinctive Jedi experience , but the lack of one feature of speech ca-ca protagonist Kay Vess even more of a stickler for the rules than the Jedi are . As an opportunist on the awry side of the legal philosophy , Kay Vess starts the game much more interested in acquiring credits than taking down the conglomerate . She ’s not especially insensate - full-blood , and the game provide plenty ofopportunities to pet creaturesand help mass , but upholding any variety of monastic order across the galaxy could hardly be further from her interest .

AlthoughStar Wars Outlawsbreaks up its gameplay loop topology with plenty of different target , stealing is one thing that Kay Vess tend to do middling consistently . Valuables are left lying around on table or tucked into chests that can beopened with a bit of lockpicking , and pawn off items bump throughout the world is , by from some luck at the Sabacc board , the good fashion to raise funds for upgrades . For the most part , theft is easy inStar Wars Outlaws , but the game does n’t permit it in some situations that seem like obvious opportunities .

Star Wars Outlaws concentre on a grimier , peaked side of the universe with a rich , detailed open world that features both Modern and legacy quality .

Kay Can’t Steal Speeders In Star Wars Outlaws

Kay’s Way Too Loyal To Her Own Vehicle

The world ofStar Wars Outlawsis filled to the brim with speeders , butit ’s not potential to skip on unattended speeders and take them out for a spin . Over - the - ground transport rather pore around Kay ’s own cycle , which can be summoned to her side in typical video game mount fashion . Kay ’s speeder certainly gets the job done when it comes to fare , but locking her off from using any other speeders palpate needlessly restrictive and locks off a pot of likely spontaneousness in the game .

The omission is particularly take up when comparingStar Wars Outlawsto theStar Warsfilms , whereeven the Jedi are n’t above commandeering vehicles . Anakin ’s epic moment inThe Phantom Menacestems from illicitly flying an N-1 Starfighter , for example , and he appropriates a speed demon for the Coruscant Salmon P. Chase inAttack of the Clones , which Obi - Wan does n’t complain about after drop into the fomite soon after . If Kay ’s essay to make the cut in a galaxy of scum and villainy , it ’s outlandish that she take for herself to higher standards than the Jedi did during the late reign of the Republic .

Star Wars Outlaws Isn’t A Grand Theft Auto Sandbox

An Open World With Limited Opportunities

Although it ’s tempting to compareStar Wars Outlawsto a infinite opera take onGrand Theft Auto , the lack of casual fomite theft immediately shuts down a key face of the comparison . The secret plan lacks the same sandbox impulses in general , focusing chiefly on pretty linear stealth mission and side content that lazily jounce Kay between object glass . There ’s nothing wrong with a departure in priorities , butwhen it come to thing that feel like arbitrary boundaries , Star Wars Outlawscould be amend by let easy just a footling bit more .

Star Wars Outlaws and Starfield both sport open - world exploration between a variety of planet , but one key feature sets these experience aside .

Another big limitation of the speeder experience is how gunfights are handled , asKay ’s usage of her blaster is limited while on her speed demon . There ’s no room to nonchalantly fire guess , with the only pick lie in a slow - motion modal value that allows her to select multiple enemy to shoot . append in a tendency for the speed demon to come to a violent halt at the slightest environmental vault , and it can be hard to get into a natural catamenia where speeder gameplay feels like the dynamic traversal it should .

Slow - motion shot setups can be triggered through activate the Adrenaline Rush power , which has a refill meter indicated on the bottom of the screen .

It makes sense thatStar war Outlawsisn’t fully espouse the anarchic mirthfulness ofGrand Theft Auto , asStar Warstends to be a relatively family unit - friendly holding where even the most flawed protagonist have a lot of fundamental goodness in them . All the same , if the game is n’t going toallow some basic reprehensible body process , it might do well to spend less prison term rubbing them in Kay ’s fount . Walking preceding landspeeders mightily there for the taking is a uniquely painful smell , and even the most righteous in theStar Warsuniverse might express joy at Kay ’s reluctance to take a chance .

Set between the event of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi , Star Wars Outlaws is an open - world action - adventure secret plan where player skip into the villain boots of Kay Vess , a woman who travels the galaxy Looking for a estimable aliveness . Together with her furred better half Nix and new allies she meets along the way , Kay will navigate the various landscapes , townspeople , and planet across the galaxy while outmanoeuvre both Crime Syndicates and the Empire .
