Star Wars Outlaws Reviews
Star Wars Outlaws might have had a rough launch, but many updates have been applied which make it a decent and enjoyable experience. There are a few rough edges here and there, but if you can get past those frustrations which you're hopefully now aware of if you've read this review, then you'll be able to enjoy a brand-new and shiny Star Wars adventure. Sadly, the forced ray-tracing means the game cannot run at an acceptable level on the Steam Deck, so you'll need a more powerful device to play this one.
Star Wars Outlaws is an action-adventure game that, on the one hand, brings good and fresh ideas, but on the other hand, copies the same practices as every other Ubisoft game. While the game manages to create a vibrant world that any Star Wars fan will love as well as a fun reputation system, it flounders on generic gameplay and one-size-fits-all template quests. If you haven't played a game from Ubisoft in so long, you'll probably have fun. But if you're looking for anything more, Star Wars Outlaws simply isn't it.

I did enjoy my time with Outlaws, I just wish I had enjoyed it more. Technical issues and inconsistencies brought down what I thought was a varied and entertaining experience. However, if you love Star Wars and see this title on sale, it may be worth a punt. There is fun to be had in Outlaws, even amongst it’s niggly flaws.
Star Wars Outlaws is a highly produced, quality open-world RPG with stunning graphics, perfectly simulating the life of an outlaw in this vast universe. It takes about twenty hours to explore, or even double that if you want to delve into every corner of the galaxy. The game introduces original characters and a fresh story, with the most impressive feature being the innovative reputation system integrated into the gameplay mechanics—a true breath of fresh air for the genre. Ubisoft has proven to fans that a great Star Wars game doesn’t need Jedi, the Force, or lightsaber duels. We’re looking forward to an even more spectacular sequel in the years to come!

Star Wars Outlaws is a triumphant return to the galaxy that many of us love so much. With a compelling and emotionally engaging main story that can be completed in ~20 hours, deep and flexible gameplay, a stunning, expansive open world and exciting space combat, Ubisoft Massive has created a game that offers an unforgettable experience for both fans of the franchise and newcomers alike.

Star Wars Outlaws is good but it could be better. It's clear that it needed more development time and polish, its systems don't always fit together perfectly and the combat, while good, doesn't go much further. Exploring its contained worlds, shooting with blasters and experiencing a little more of the side that the galaxy far, far away allows us, works well and is much of what Star Wars fans deserve after so many bad releases.

Unfortunately, a somewhat predictable and rushed story prevents Star Wars Outlaws from standing out among other works in this universe. Massive's game is an open-world Uncharted that doesn't innovate but is extremely pleasant to play thanks to its solid and fun gameplay, impressive content richness, and notable graphics. It's not without flaws, but it's undoubtedly one of Ubisoft's best open worlds in recent years.

Star Wars Outlaws serves up an extremely enjoyable open-world Star Wars experience that proves the wait for such a game was worth it. While there are a few frustrations, the mix of beautiful worlds, a crime-rich underworld, compelling and tense missions with multiple routes to success, and a host of scoundrelly things to do, makes it a superbly fun experience.
A beautiful but uneven Star Wars game, with inspired moments but also with shortcomings and design flaws that break the immersion and prevent it from truly making a mark as one of the most memorable open-world games out there.
Star Wars Outlaws delivers a fun Rogue One-style side chapter from the world of Star Wars, and while not all of the ideas are fleshed out one hundred percent, they still manage to come together to make a sufficiently tasty cocktail.

Star Wars Outlaws is one of the most bold Star Wars games I’ve seen in years. It’s not perfect, and definitely punishes the player who doesn’t take the time to learn its systems. It also buries a lot of the open world content deeper into the game, meaning you really have to invest time to get the most out of it. And with the strong focus on stealth and combat, there’s a degree of patience required. But once you really get into a rhythm and get into the mindset of the game, there’s a lot of fun, enjoyment and excitement to be had here that offers something really different to the Jedi-led games we’ve been playing over the years. Especially when trying to balance the factions and their requirements.
Despite stumbling onto a few bug issues and a combat system that could’ve benefitted from a few improvements, Star Wars Outlaws allows players to completely immerse themselves and become a rogue Scoundrel-for-hire. Being the first truly open-world Star Wars game, Massive has done an incredible job of creating impressive environments and a compelling narrative, making being a Scoundrel both fun and intriguing.
Star Wars Outlaws is a work full of lights and shadows. While on the one hand we have a satisfying gunplay and a good progression system, united by a good amount of activities to be carried out, on the other hand there are evident graphical limitations that do nothing more than demonstrate how Massive would perhaps have needed more time to finalise the product at its best, all the more so for fans of the franchise and for the fact that the software is only proposed on current generation consoles. The Ubisoft game is therefore appreciable, but still far from the promised Olympus.

Star Wars Outlaws is a smuggler with flaws that are easy to turn a blind eye to and be charmed by despite them. The cinematic story told keeps you intrigued until the end, the worlds are pleasing to the eye, and the gameplay offers a variety of attractions. Yes, there are problems, but they are not very painful, you can get used to them, sometimes you just need to grit your teeth and curse at the screen. The Force in this game turned out to be stronger than I assumed.
Star Wars Outlaws is a love letter to Star Wars fans, providing one of the most beautiful exploration experiences recently with a great embodiment of the Star Wars universe , and a stunning artistic direction. With a good story in general, despite some flaws, and an excellent fighting style, whether you are using the Plaster or your spaceship. What's wrong with the game is the overly linear mission design and of course the technical level, which is full of problems and not befitting a AAA game.

Star Wars: Outlaws was a game that I was really looking forward to. While I have small issues with the game from its lack of innovation in stealth to its fairly basic space combat, the story Massive Entertainment has told within the Star Wars universe was really fantastic and gave me a small group of characters to really root for. Humberly González is fantastic as Kay and Jay Rincon is a standout with ND-5. What Massive Entertainment has done here is breathtaking and is something that only could have been done in a video game. This take on Star Wars is frankly the best we’ve seen in a video game, and all without a Jedi in sight.
Like a Stormtrooper it often misses its mark, but sometimes it surprises and nails the shot. The last third of the game is vastly superior and shows some great promise, while the smart skill system and many small improvements on Ubisoft’s open-world template all give me hope that the French publisher is willing to move away from its bloated, rote designs.
Star Wars Outlaws just didn’t have a lot of cool elements to make it stand out from the rest of the crowd. There isn’t a lot in it that’s actually bad, broken, or unpolished, but rarely did it ever excite me. It’s your run-of-the-mill open world AAA game, one you’ve played a million times before from Ubisoft and other studios, with all the generic clichés you’d expect from the most default of titles in the genre. It just so happens to be drenched in a Star Wars coat of paint.
