Demo players are not impressed. It has a 'Mostly Negative' rating on Steam.

Personally, I thought it was alright. The graphics are great and the Star Wars ambiance on Tatooine is spot on (SWG nostalgia vibes) but the performance is abysmally poor and the gameplay just feels clunky and "console-y".

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 64GB RAM, RTX 4090 = sub 30fps at 4K, everything maxed, DLAA, no upscaling. Ugh. It went to barely playable after enabling DLSS Quality with a framerate at ~50fps most of the time (with dips and jumps to lower/higher values, respectively).

Not gonna buy this anytime soon. It is still content-incomplete anyway due to that one missing DLC, and given the overall experience, I'm not really willing to cough up more than €29 for the Ultimate Edition or so. It is pointless to play this on a RTX 4090 anyway so I will probably hold off until I own a RTX 6090 which should hopefully coincide with the price tag I have in mind.

Patience, I will have. Reward me, it will.

Hmmm. I played the entire vanilla game on a 3090 and it ran pretty darn good and looked amazing. I can't say it was maxed on every setting but I had everything that counts turned up to the highest. I'm not sure if you guys are just finding an excuse or hate the "woke" main character. I didn't mind her at all. Sure, the part where she can punch out troopers with her fist while they wear helmets is laughable, but I mean... how much realism are you looking for in a STAR WARS game?

This is no different than watching a "popcorn" flick where it's full of cheese and you just need to leave the brain at the door, sit down and enjoy something entertaining.

I lasted 30 mins into the 3 hour demo before I uninstalled. it was just so painful. Pretty? yes. Good? no.

It is comical watching her tiny frame wipe a trooper twice her weight.

Maybe sheuses vibroknucklers.

I just uninstalled this a few weeks ago after beating the main game and DLC. I had just gotten into the whole Sabaac card game towards the end of my game time and loved it. The DLC was a welcome since it had a story centered around that. I'll definitely pick this up at some point, but I think I'm burned out with the game for now.

My biggest complaint with this game is not having Billy Dee doing the voice work for Lando.

Amen!

This is a strange nitpick I suppose, given that we are talking about a fantasy space adventure world with pew pew lasers and crazy alien races, but until they fix the 115 pound main character punching armored soldiers in the helmet to somehow knock them out, I am not even thinking about buying this. They fixed a ton of stuff with the DLC and patches but not that according to the video reviews I watched.

What about Emilia Clarke not doing the voice of Qi'ra? I think that's more important!

Honestly I never caught it. But Billy Dee missing is just soul crushing.

I know this one gets a lot of hate around the net, but I played it to the end and enjoyed it. DLC might be worth it if it's not expensive.

It is a pretty fun game. I was pleasantly surprised by how alive the towns and cities in the game seemed. Some of the environments are just fantastically portrayed to match the source material. The Empire areas especially captured the look and feel.

Tatooine isn't the first place you can fly to so it kind of places you after a bunch of mandatory 'tutorial' quests on other planets. Makes sense you can't carry your save over. Before I played I read you should go to Tatooine last so you have all your abilities unlocked. That is what I did, even though it is my favorite setting.

Not a perfect game but to me it was an enjoyable time for a good number of hours. I played it on a month of Ubisoft+, it was like $8.
