Star Wars Outlaws Hasn’t Sold Us… Yet | Hands-On Preview Impressions


“Star Wars Outlaws” is the highly anticipated upcoming game that promises to immerse players in the Star Wars universe like never before. However, a recent hands-on preview left some attendees, including Jordan, feeling lukewarm about the game’s potential.

The gameplay of “Star Wars Outlaws” encompasses a mix of activities, from hacking through doors to engaging in combat with Imperials and navigating derelict starships in a platformer style. The game includes elements of stealth, where players must sneak past enemies but also allows for violent alternatives if stealth fails. While the mechanics of the game function smoothly, there is a lack of a standout feature that sets it apart from other action games.

Jordan’s experience with “Star Wars Outlaws” left him feeling unsure about the game’s future appeal. Despite being a dedicated Star Wars fan, he found that the game did not grip him in the way he had hoped. The open-world nature of the game, though not fully explored in the demo, presented challenges in navigating past NPCs and focusing on the main story beats.

One aspect that Jordan found lacking in “Star Wars Outlaws” was the inclusion of hacking mini-games that felt repetitive and did not add significant value to the overall gameplay experience. Additionally, some combat sequences left him feeling disconnected, as certain actions seemed too easy to execute without much skill or strategy.

As “Star Wars Outlaws” prepares for its release in the fall, the hands-on preview has left some with tempered expectations. With the game being developed by Ubisoft, known for its expansive open-world titles, there is hope that the full experience will tie together cohesively. Despite initial reservations, fans of the Star Wars franchise are eager to see how “Star Wars Outlaws” will evolve upon its release.

In conclusion, “Star Wars Outlaws” presents a comprehensive gameplay experience but may need to fine-tune certain aspects to truly captivate players and stand out in the crowded gaming market. Fans will have to wait until the game’s launch to determine if it lives up to the hype surrounding it.
