Star Wars Squadrons
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For those of you who are confused about the cover, it says VR but you can still play it without having a VR setup, it plays really great on my ps4 pro, for the past couple of games from EA this year has been really great without loot boxes and not being forcing to play online only, I think they're trying to get back into everyone's good grace's

Fun arcade style flying game, VR is amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very entertaining arcade Star Wars space combat game. There is some depth to the game, as each star ship has their own strengths and unique capabilities, which is good for those interested in multiplayer. For single campaign game players, it is neat having to pilot each ship for their specific missions. The single player campaign game is also really neat in having to play both the rebel and Imperial sides. Being able to walk around the hangar and to the briefing room is also neat, as they did a good job in making the player feel like they are on the spaceship. The problem with this game is the horrible controls in trying to fly using the analog control sticks (L3 and R3 buttons). The wonky controls make it difficult to chase or tail an opponent in the space dogfights. Also goofy is how the spaceships simply can throttle down to zero and come to a complete stop and u-turn, with doesn’t make any sense as the spacecraft all have forward thrust, not backwards thrust. The controls and sudden stops makes the dogfighting really frustrating, especially since the Thrustmaster PS4 flight stick is out of stock. Having a flight stick would have made the flying experience much more enjoyable. Being an arcade style game, some of the missions can be senseless tedious and frustrating. One mission is where one has to power slide, which is a neat trick, but doesn’t need to be used when playing the game. Players waste their time trying to complete a senseless video game move. Another frustrating mission is trying to ambush a group of escaping rebel ships. The problem is that the arcade style targeting doesn’t clearly display the mines that will be used to ambush them. The player has to frustratingly scramble to identify which ones and try to detonate them to complete the mission and the game. What is a big strength of this game is the VR mode. It is truly immersive and flying a tie and x-wing fighter in VR mode, the cockpits looked very real. Unfortunately, the VR motion might make one motion sick. Unfortunately, I had to stop playing in VR due to motion sickness, but was still able to finish the campaign game in regular mode. Overall this is an entertaining game to play. One can look on youtube for multiplayer games and how capture the flag/ destroying the opponent’s capital spaceship has evolved.

Fly a starship and see the universe!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fun game, but not super-easy to learn the controls. Still, once you get the hang of flying it's pretty great! The story is nothing to write home about and can feel like it's filler between missions, but exploring the starships is kind of cool, and there IS a story for both sides that you can watch play out while you're trying to remember what the controls do. Flying is complicated but feels natural and actually different depending on which ship you're in--they have noticeably different speeds and styles for each ship, which is a really nice touch. Like most games it's pretty short, but the replay factor is high--some of the missions you'll want to play a few times for sure. I've only played a bit of the multiplayer modes-while fun they still need some polish. The death match mode is pretty fun, but the fleet battle mode gets a little chaotic, and it's pretty hard to get a whole team on the same page to complete objectives, though it is hugely satisfying on the occasions that you do complete objectives and work together. I'm sure there are more maps and likely fighters/scenarios coming. The maps in the game now are very cool and well done--it looks and feels like Star Wars. If you want to feel like you're battling in an X-Wing, Tie Fighter, etc, playing out some war time scenario in the Star Wars universe then you definitely want to play this game!

A fun time in VR
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The PSVR mode is what really makes this game a blast. The fact that you can play through the campaign or play multiplayer in VR makes this a robust package for VR fans.
