, I was looking forward to getting stuck into two of my favourite hobbies: being disappointed by Ubisoft open world games and being disappointed by Star Wars. Well, Ubisoft, you've really screwed up my plans this time, haven't you? Because Outlaws is a very good time and a very good Star Wars game.
Outlaws has a grounded vibe that I think a lot of adaptations forget the original trilogy also boasted—especially A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. Back then, using the Force meant being able to jump super high and choke a subordinate. Mostly, they were films about a likeable group of buds getting into scrapes.
Survivor in particular feels like it's going through a Star Wars checklist—Cantina hangouts, Darth Vader duels, Force puzzles, Separatist droids, Stormtroopers, dark side temptations—but it's all for naught when the bulk of the game just sees you jumping around in the wilderness as some sad ginger lad. The Star Wars stuff feels like set dressing rather than something the game truly embraces. In the end both games are perfectly enjoyable, but they're bad Star Wars games.
