Star Wars Outlaws Surpasses Expectations

Okay, so here we go. Star Wars Outlaws, right? Not the glitzy launch everyone hoped for last summer. Yeah, people kind of shrugged, and that vibe’s been hanging around like an unwanted guest. Seriously, hop onto its subreddit—nothing but folks wondering, “Should I dive in?” If you’ve ever fancied yourself as Han Solo, strutting around the seedy edges of the galaxy, it’s totally your scene.

Now, let’s chat about those stealth bits. Initially, they were like “fail and you’re out!” Thankfully, after that update in November 2024, you get busted, you just whip out your blaster. Feels so good, like channeling your inner Danny DeVito, just going wild. Trust me, shooting a Stormtrooper square in the helmet was oddly satisfying.

The auto-fail fix is just the start. Outlaws is this wild planet-hopping ride. You’re strolling around spots like Kijimi or Canto Bight. Then there’s Tatooine—oh man, Massive nailed it. Imagine stumbling into the Mos Eisley cantina. You feel like a part of history, sipping space drinks where Han shot first. Jabba’s Palace? Full of fun surprises, by the way.

Gonna be real—Outlaws ain’t perfect. Overflowing with ideas, and yeah, that classic Ubisoft collect-a-thon chaos. My take? Skip the stuff you don’t dig. I ignored those speeder races, only engaged in space battles when I absolutely had to. Honestly, the Uncharted-like platforming and solid third-person shooting kept me hooked.

Oh, and Sabacc—why isn’t this its own thing yet? Think Gwent from The Witcher 3. Super simple, super thrilling. Like, I avoid most DLCs, but their “Wild Card” add-on? Worth it. Kay sneaking into a tense Sabacc match before everything goes sideways—epic.

Outlaws got another kick with the “A Pirate’s Fortune” DLC back on May 15. Maybe the last of new content, maybe not. Anyway, hitting Nintendo Switch 2 soon, so you’ll be betting credits, flying around, and blasting foes on the fly—like between Mario Kart races or whatever.

Picked up Outlaws earlier and lost interest? Or just hunting for an adventure that eats up hours? Dive back in. Even just for Sabacc, this game’s got the goods.
