Star Wars Outlaws is a game that embraces the aesthetic and core elements of Star Wars, but throws in some fun curveballs. Despite its rocky launch, with some glitches around stealth and combat especially, Ubisoft has been patching the game and fixing these issues, making it easier to recommend during its Black Friday sale. Normally $69.99, you can get Star Wars Outlaws for PS5 and Xbox Series for $39.99 at Amazon or $49.99 at Best Buy and Walmart.
Instead of your typical Jedi, the game's protagonist is Kay Vess, a rookie smuggler with a little less swagger than Han Solo, but more charm and intelligence, plus a cute dog-like alien named Nix who rides on her shoulder. . As you'd expect from a Ubisoft game, there's a ton of stuff to do in the game: stealth missions, racing, gambling, space combat, and just hanging out with a cast of alien companions. Star Wars Outlaws It really achieves the feeling of making you feel like you're living in Star Wars, and I'm a fan of that kind of fantasy.
I grew up on the Star Wars movies and must confess to a certain level of nostalgia that is calmed by hearing the familiar beep of a drone or the engine of a speeder. It's a big part of the reason I enjoy Star Wars: The Old Republic much like an MMO – it's a comforting and slightly guilty pleasure to spend time in this environment. Star Wars Outlaws It really leans into that, with greater graphical fidelity and more elaborate environments. Kay can go to a space version of a KBBQ restaurant and feed Nix chunks of fried beast, explore swamps, frozen planets, and deserts, or break into an Imperial base and hack some computers for credits.
