Or more accurately, its aboutbecomingsomeone like Han Solo.
Its a revenge story by way of a heist thriller and a good spine for a video game.
Instead, it focuses exclusively on the scoundrel fantasy which mostly translates to normal video-game shit.
You do a lot of climbing, a lot of sneaking, a lot ofblastin.
It cannot be stressed enough how much of a normal-ass video gameStar WarsOutlawsis.
Part of this can be explained by where the game comes from.
InOutlaws,this would be the way all theStar Warsaccoutrements are implemented.
I dont want to discount that specialStar Warssauce.
It might be the best thing in the game.
(Though it would be better if you could play against real people and not just in-game characters.)
Its just that, once you playOutlawslong enough, theStar Warscharm wears off.
You start to feel like youve done this all before.
You likelyhavedone this all before, in other, more interesting games.
Just like youve probably seen better streaming shows or been to better hotels.
But people will pay.
Perhaps you find this comparison needlessly harsh.
But think like a scoundrel for a second, likeStar Wars Outlawsasks you to.
Whether you spend $70 or $3,000 for a subpar product, are you any less a sucker?
