Re: Star Wars Outlaws' Rescue Roadmap Provides a Snapshot of Modern PS5 Gaming
I played about 5 hours of it and thought it was just ok. The facial animations really annoyed me, very janky, and the gameplay was underwhelming.
I’m a Star Wars fan though, so it’s probably worth a heavily discounted purchase.
Probably.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Star Wars Outlaws?
I wouldn’t say it’s average, certainly below that in so many ways. I would define it as “scrappy.”
Interesting concept, poorly implemented.
