GameCentral spends several hours with Ubisoft’s new Star Wars game, but how different is it to their other open world titles?
Star Wars Outlaws – not a scruffy-looking nerf herder We’ll no doubt mention this again in the review but for decades now Lucasfilm Games has dedicated themselves to making every Star Wars game imaginable, except for the one we’ve always wanted: a Han Solo simulator. Actually, that’s not quite true, despite having helped produce many great Star Wars games in their time, the X-Wing series of space combat simulators are the only ones to match perfectly with what we wanted and always imagined.
There was an open world element to the Star Wars Jedi games but the level design there is more abstract and gamified, which made sense given the influence from Dark Souls et al. In Outlaws, and this is not a criticism, they’ve gone full Ubisoft, with a giant map teaming with side quests and distractions.
