Star Wars Outlaws convinces ahead of its release

The upcoming release of Star Wars Outlaws has all fans of the sci-fi saga excited. Kay Vess will soon navigate the galaxy in an epic adventure that seems to be good enough to receive the approval of the specialized press. Plenty of reviews have been published in the last few days and most of them confirm a fact: Star Wars Outlaws has all the potential to become the next big hit in the franchise despite it's been made by Ubisoft. It's not a matter of Ubisoft making bad games. What's surprising about the game is that it's an awesome Star Wars adventure despite the way it seems to be made.

Worth checking out

Ubisoft seems to have created a surprisingly good mix of gameplay elements taken from other of its franchises. Stealth and parkour-style mechanics are surprisingly similar to the ones in Assassin's Creed games, while other gameplay elements reminisce of other popular franchises from the French developer. However, in the case of Star Wars Outlaws this chaotic mix of things picked up from there and there provides a surprisingly engaging gameplay experience.

The last big Star Wars game released by EA was Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Instead of delving once more into the world of Jedis and Sith, Star Wars Outlaws offers a different point of view of the same universe through the eyes of a scoundrel. This alone should be appealing enough to some fans but also offered Ubisoft the possibility of innovating. Instead of focusing on a story with the future of the galaxy at stake, the game lets players enjoy more mundane things in a world where morals are left a bit aside to provide more freedom to the players.

With all these things in mind, Star Wars Outlaws may not be the game you were looking for, but it's definitely an exciting adventure worth taking a look at.
