Complete disappointment…..when EA lost their exclusive contract to make Star Wars games I was frilled to hear Ubisoft would be making an open world game set in the Star Wars Universe. This game is so bad and even with amazing open world visuals and so much Star Wars lore it can’t mask the major short comings of this game, the whole thing feels rushed.
It feels like an 2010 era Assassin Creed game reskinned into Star Wars. The animations are so bad that if two NPCs are walking side by side and you decide to pickpocket one the NPC you selected will stop and wait for the action to take place whilst the second NPC continues walking like nothings happened. Sometimes you can get so close to NPCs they don’t see, other times they see you from miles away and all NPCs are immediately alerted to your exact location.
There is also far too much emphasis on stealth….ok I get it I’m not a Jedi with force powers but I feel like I’m playing a Tom Clancy Splinter Cell game rather than Star Wars.
I love Star Wars so will probably revisit and give the game a second chance in a few months time when the price drops and hopefully the bugs are fixed as the story seems half decent but I was sooooo disappointed with this game that only after a few hours I requested and was granted a complete refund. The wait for a truly open world Star Wars game to be a predecessor to Star Wars Galaxies continues.
