Star Wars Outlaws is shaping up to be the open-world Star Wars game we've been craving, but does it deliver on its promise of a true scoundrel's life? Early gameplay footage and previews paint a vibrant picture: a vast, explorable galaxy brimming with opportunities for heists, smuggling, and general roguery. The protagonist, Kay Vess, feels distinct from the usual Jedi or Sith fare, offering a fresh perspective on the Star Wars universe through the eyes of someone just trying to survive.
However, concerns remain. Will the open-world feel genuinely alive, or will it be filled with repetitive fetch quests? Can the stealth and dialogue systems stand up to scrutiny? And perhaps most importantly, will the game offer meaningful choices that actually impact Kay's journey and her relationships with the various factions? While the potential is undeniable, only time will tell if Star Wars Outlaws truly captures the essence of a Star Wars scoundrel's adventure or if it falls back on familiar, albeit enjoyable, action tropes. Stay tuned for our full review closer to launch!
