According to the reviews, critics have found the general narrative of Star Wars Outlaws quite enjoyable. Despite its predictable nature, the game seems to have successfully captured the audience’s interest, thanks to an interesting group of characters.
Protagonist Kay Vess and her partner Nix have also proven to be quite popular. Elsewhere, the visuals have garnered praise, but this part of the game seems to come with various inconsistencies.
In terms of criticisms, reviews point to technical issues on consoles. The open world itself has also been a bit divisive, with some critics finding it slow and padded out compared to what was promised.
As an extension of the open world, some critics found the side content underwhelming. All in all, it seems the typical Ubisoft formula has held the game back from reaching its true potential.
Overall, Star Wars Outlaws has laid a solid foundation that can be expanded upon later. Future entries can make up for the various weaknesses, but for now, Massive Entertainment’s latest game invites players to explore the universe at their own pace.
