Have you ever bought a game just to see how bad it is? Well that is something I did today. I had a family member making a trip into the city and asked them to pick me up Star Wars: Outlaws because my curiosity got the better of me. I figured that I could sate my curiosity while also telling you guys my honest opinion about the game.
My original plan was just to make some blog posts about it hence why in the video below the first 20 minutes of the game is not shown. But as I was playing I figured "Hell, I never did a Lets Play for a while, I might as well do one for Outlaws. So people can hear my real time thoughts about the game."
This was a new experience for me because I never recorded gameplay on the PS5 before with my mic hooked up to it. And honestly this is probably the last time I will do it because despite the mic being an actual PS5 headset made by sony having both gameplay audio and mic audio being recorded on the same track just made it horrible. So in the future I'll be breaking out my Capture Card to fix the issue.
Star Wars Outlaws is just failing to impress me so far. The game isn't original in the least. Most of the mechanics are just taken from other Ubi games like Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell etc. There's just no originality there.
The graphics are kinda meh with Jedi Survivor looking so much better. And the stealth is laughable. Stealth takedowns consist of Kay just punching people in the head to knock them out. Even enemies who are wearing helments are knocked out this way.
At the end of this let's play we are given a choice and I am curious to know just how much it will affect the story or if it even will!
Anyways, here is part 1 of my Star Wars: Outlaws gameplay!
