It’s not easy being a Star Wars fan. There’s so much to worry about when you hear about the new project, especially when it’s a game. Although I was a bit skeptical, I found Star Wars Outlaws to be a very entertaining title that deserves to be part of the famous franchise.
Star Wars Outlaws review: A new hope for open-world Star Wars games!
In Star Wars, characters are the most important segment of the story. While Kay Vess is no Han Solo or Bo-Katan, she is an interesting character in line with the story in Star Wars Outlaws. I would compare her more to Andor than Solo, because she is also trying to survive and initially ignores the higher-goals rebel talk. Kay does her part well, Nix steals every scene as an adorable combination of Disney's Stitch and Pokemon.
He is always there, ready to help Kay in her adventures. He is also easy to control, which makes him an essential part of the story. In contrast to Nix's cuteness is the ND-5 droid, which reminded me of a legendary HK-47 from KOTOR. You will love him!
While they are all great, the main character is a Star Wars open world. Every city feels alive, with citizens of the Outer Rim doing their own thing. From the first scene I felt like I was part of the Mandalorian show (with all the planet hopping). Every character you meet feels alive and part of the (under)world. Even playing as Sabacc felt alive, as every opponent was a different character (especially those famous ones). Suffice to say I enjoyed taking their credits!
