Star Wars Battlefront 2 Reviews
Star Wars Battlefront 2 has the potential to be an amazing game, however, it is unlikely we'll ever get to play the real game as it's hidden beneath microtransactions. In an ideal world, EA would remove the Star Card system completely and replace it with something that doesn't interfere with the gameplay. If you are on the fence, maybe wait a few weeks to see how EA deal with the progression system beforehand. That being said, even with Battlefront 2's flaws I'd still say it's worth playing.
Above all else Battlefront II is extremely fun. The gameplay is balanced and exciting. It is everything we, as gamers, had hoped for out of Battlefront and is a logical successor to the Battlefront series from the early 2000s.
Star Wars Battlefront was akin to Jar Jar Binks, a game with its share of fans and haters that turned out to be flawed but was an annoyance at most. Battlefront 2, on the other hand, is like Anakin Skywalker, a game with so much potential that it fails to realize thanks to what many see as a sinister turn. It’s a shame as the game actually does several things quite well and can be a blast to play. While it deserves credit for rectifying some of those issues prior to launch, however, the aftertaste of its questionable decisions continue to be a lingering issue in what otherwise could have been a stellar game.
All things said and done Star Wars Battlefront II is still worth playing and yes buying.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 is a very strong case for doing your own research before buying. Going in, you must know that the unlocking system in-game is pretty rough and we’ll likely see microtransactions return as some point. On the other hand, the brand new campaign and multiplayer options in Star Wars Battlefront 2 are a lot of fun and personify what makes Star Wars great.
The force is weak with this one.
A game with incredible graphics and brilliant sound design that is brought down by a middling campaign and murdered by a confused and unbalanced multiplayer
Star Wars Battlefront 2 has some bright spots, but the game fails to deliver a compelling story campaign and its multiplayer is burdened by the loot box controversy.
Star Wars Battlefront II has both the features that make us sad and happy.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 could've been game of the year, but some key mistakes basically ruin the whole thing.
Although an improved sequel, there is both good and bad in Star Wars Battlefront II. Class-based troopers and a smart reinforcement system are hindered by horrid progression. The large modes succeed, when there are no bottlenecks or balance issues. And if the single player cared about its main character, then it would have complimented the game's astounding presentation.
After all the ruckus and the controversies, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 finally reveals itself for what it is: a great Star Wars experience. The new Campaign is definitely well written and thrilling (with some memorable dogfights in the space), and the multiplayer improves everything we already loved in the first Battlefront. There are still some issues with a progression system that relies a little bit too much on randomness, but the game is definitely better off without microtransactions.

Star Wars Battlefront II's progression system may indeed be piss poor and too loot box centered, but that doesn't stop it from being a mighty fine way to spend your time.
The Star Wars universe is rich with lore and mystery and we get a bland badly smashed together piece of gaming. For each highlight of the game, such as the well done space battles there is an equally poor stealth mechanic. Fortunately the story is short at around 5 hours and so if you are determined to get through it you won't waste too much time. If you enjoy short and bland this could be the game for you.
Battlefront II is a great game that has been tainted by the dark side. Core gameplay is very good, graphics and sound design are superb. But the progression system is tied to microtransactions and broken.

Every step of the way, Star Wars: Battlefront 2 proves that even the most talented developers and one of the biggest publishers in the industry can make costly mistakes.
when it comes to Multiplayer Star Wars: Battlefront 2 offers exciting and enjoyable elements, but the story doesn't add up to the game it could be finished in less than 4 hours, no need to say how much loot boxes affected the game progressions, but when you put everything negative aside Star Wars: Battlefront 2 still a mediocre game.

A good core game of cool Star Wars battles on fun and interesting maps is bogged down by clumsy, convoluted progression systems, and the single player is interesting but unfinished.
