Star Wars Outlaws is at its best when players are let loose on planets like Tatooine and Kijimi and at its worst when things get linear.

Star Wars Outlaws MSRP $70.00 Score Details “ Star Wars Outlaws works best when it's letting players get lost in space, but that's not always the case.” Pros Cons Walking out of a cantina on Toshara and coming across some arcade cabinets in a rundown bar. Playing Sabacc nestled away in a dark, snowy corner of Kijimi. Slowly riding my speeder through the vast dunes of Tatooine. These small, quiet moments of Star Wars Outlaws are the ones that stick with me the most.

Scum and villainy Star Wars Outlaws follows a smuggler named Kay Vess as she assembles a crew across several different planets to pull off a heist against one of the wealthiest men on Canto Bight. Like most heist-based narratives, it’s full of twists, betrayals, and surprising alliances. Kay Vess is a strong central character, backed up by a fantastic performance from Humberly González that matches the charisma of Alden Ehrenreich’s take on Han in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

This is where the fun begins Star Wars Outlaws’ better story moments are the ones that you make yourself. This is an open-world game, after all. I’ll remember when I accidentally hit a stormtrooper with a speeder or randomly stumbled on Lando in an Akivan casino more than any of the main story set pieces. That’s because the world design and minigames of Star Wars Outlaws are the game’s greatest strengths. I even love its lockpicking and hacking minigames, which is a rarity in this style of game.

Outlaws‘ progression system is built around that curiosity and exploration, as it encourages players to dynamically find experts across its planets and complete gameplay objectives to gain new abilities at their leisure. That also pairs with the Syndicate relationship system, as Kay’s actions all gain and lose her favor with the Pykes, Hutts, Crimson Dawn, and Ashiga Clan.
