This is a fun game. The visuals are great and gameplay is cool. It's more of a stealth game so be aware you will be doing lots of it. You could go in guns blazing but the gunplay is a little lacking. You mainly use a hand gun but you can pick up enemy rifles. Once they are out of ammo you just disgard it.
One of the best features of the game are the options. You can turn off most of the mini games like lock picking and computer slicing, which is great to move things along. You can also tweak some of the settings for your little companion, Nix.
Overall, it's a fun game in the Star Wars universe.

I haven't seen everything in the game yet, but in my 20+ hours of playtime I can say it's a good game. If you're someone who loves star wars, this game could fit well with you. They've put such an amount of detail in the exploration, the references they leave that fans will love, and the small detail is incredible. The reputation system is cool to manage with the syndicates, as they all offer you advantages and disadvantages depending on your reputation. I do wish there were more roleplay actions you'd be able to do such as, ordering a drink at a cantina. The game does have its problems with its bugs and glitches. You will notice some texture problems with the quality randomly decreasing, or I something game breakinf like going through the map. Though that's only happened once for me. Overall, a fun game star wars fans can enjoy with some problems that I hope will be fixed in future updates.

I played SW: Outlaws when it first came out, and it was buggy for sure, but I looked past those flaws and had a great time with it. Anytime I can clean up at the Sabacc table is time well spent. I finished the story then and haven't touched it for months. But I recently resumed my campaign to play the DLC, and wow, what a smoother experience! I hope there are more of these different games with new characters and playstyles to come. While I love Cal Kestis and the Jedi games, SW Outlaws just feels so much more fun and replayable.

Had a bit of a problem when I got the disk. The PS5 wasn’t reading properly. Funny enough I used a very old cd spray thinking it will help and it just made it look greasy. No scratches on the disk but it seems PS5 needs lubricants when it comes to reading cd disks. So lucky enough it works now, it’s my go to game. Yeah it does get repetitive after a while. But so does life. HUZZAH!

It is great to run around in the star wars universe and work with/against crime syndicates I grew up learning about. This open world game is amazing, great graphics, great storyline, good, intuitive game mechanics, with plenty of collectables in game to expand on the lore. I don't want the game to end.

The game is a beautiful massive open world in the Star Wars universe and full of things to do. I would have liked to have been given the option of male or female character, but regardless the game is still a great game.

"Star Wars Outlaws" on PS5 delivers a thrilling open-world adventure. The graphics are stunning, showcasing detailed environments and smooth performance.
The gameplay blends exploration, stealth, and combat, offering a varied experience. The story captures the spirit of the original trilogy, and the characters are engaging.
While it has some minor open-world tropes, the overall experience is a blast for Star Wars fans. It's a must-play for those wanting to immerse themselves in a galaxy far, far away.

The game is fun but does suffer from some obvious issues. The first being glitches which have become pretty standard for AAA titles unfortunately. I have so far experienced falling through the floor twice and also not being able to save since the game thought I was in combat despite my last combat being 30 min prior. The second issue would be the poor auto save feature which should save significantly more than it actually does. The amount of progress I’ve lost because of assuming my game had been saving when I collect things or go to a new area is decently high. I’ve now just gotten to the point of manual saving a lot more. I’m only really 10 hours in so there are certain things that I do not know if they’ll get better or not over time but Kay is also just a really boring character. The VA plays her very monotone which I have not been a huge fan of tbh. But I do like the exploring, I’m a fan of the random events and I am interested in the story so that’s why I’m giving 3 stars.

Star Wars Scoundrels Make Excellent Alternate

This is a refreshing take in terms of a Star Wars game. As much as I love using force powers and swinging around a lightsaber, exploring the underworld of Star Wars with nary a rare mention of Jedi and/or Sith besides *REDACTED SPOILER PLAY TO FIND OUT* was a great premise for this title. However, there were a few noticeable bumps that keep me from giving it the full rating.
Pros:
- For an open world game, the maps were right in the sweet spot in terms of size and how "alive" they felt. They didn't feel like wide swaths of just point A to point B eye candy or felt like they were filled of repetitive encounters. They also look gorgeous in 4k.
- Both the speeder travel and starship/dogfight mechanics were fluid and made traversal of both planet and space fast paced.
- Gunplay with your blaster is varied and a bevy of unlock options allow you to set how you want to shoot first.
- The performances are great, Kay Vess and ND-5 in particular.
- The criminal syndicates you work for have their own goals and aesthetics, which add color and vibrancy to the world. Add in the Rebels and Empire inbetween Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and you have a wide variety of characters to interact with.
- Nix. Your little friend is a great companion. Never in your way nor does his AI distract from the gameplay experience, in fact, it often enhances it. Plus, LOOK AT HIM. You can hear Disney executives chuckling maniacally over how much money another cuddly sidekick is going to make them in plushies alone.
- The fact that I can enjoy a large amount of this game without being hawked endless DLC with additional cost, IN A UBISOFT GAME.
50/50
- The story, neither a pro nor a con, mainly because it feels clunky at times, but ultimately not a huge detractor from the overall experience.
Cons
- The facial animations out of cutscenes range from very good to "ok their mouth flaps don't even match"
- The syndicates basically have the same fighting styles with different skins, which in hour 50 kinda makes gunfights ho-hum save a few different "heavy" enemies and the death troopers.
- The syndicate missions also get very repetitive, and outside of the main story, expert missions, and intel side missions feel stale. Unless you need reputation or credits, they are easy to look over.
- Even though it is not thrown in my face to purchase, Ubisoft still could not resist hiding a lot of content behind a $50 season pass. At least it isn't as flagrant or as tedious as what they have turned Assassin's Creed into, but we might have to thank Disney allowing them to make a Star Wars game for that.
Overall, this is a great little game to pick up and play through to experience a galaxy far far away from outside the moral shakesperian epic of the light and dark side of the force. It is just fun to play a soundrel who is out for the next big score in a galaxy at war.

I just picked up Star Wars Outlaws for my PS5 and I’m really impressed so far! As a longtime Star Wars fan, I love how the game captures the gritty, outlaw side of the galaxy. The characters are fresh, the open-world exploration is exciting, and the visuals are stunning on PS5. It really feels like you’re in the universe, but from a different perspective—not your usual Jedi vs. Sith storyline, which I actually found refreshing.

Now that there have been some patches and systems overhauls, this game is honestly super solid, somewhere around a firm 8/10. The music, graphical quality, and gameplay elements are fun and bear some diversity, and it does an EXCELLENT job of capturing the spirit and aesthetic of Star Wars, as well as 80s sci fi sensibilities in general. It feels good to play and feels GOOD while playing it, if that makes sense. If you can nab this for $40 or less, then even better. Very recommended
