Star Wars: Squadrons

This Star Wars space simulator looks and sounds neat, features four different spaceships for both the Rebel Alliance and the Empire with wildly different playing styles and a good level of customization, both functional and cosmetic.

The single player campaign, set after the destruction of the second Death Star, jumps back and forth between playing as a Rebel and an Imperial pilot with intertwining stories. Multiplayer allows for space battles with either simple dogfights or more elaborate fleet battles.

It's solid, although there is room for improvement, like a few more ships (TIE phantom, B-Wing...) and WAY more multiplayer maps. Incidentally, I appreciate the lack of micro-transactions, with EA apparently learning the lesson after the Battlefront 2 uproar.

7/10

As a Star Wars fan, I was waiting a modern X-Wing & Tie Fighter game. I spent hours on the solo campaign and some online deathmatches.

Unfortunately, on PC, it only runs on Microsoft Malware 10....

Campaign:

What I really enjoyed about the perspective of Playing with members of the New Republic and The Imperial Remnant both had great characters my favorites being Keo Venzee and Shen both brought as fresh perspective during this familiar time period i also love the diversity of the characters Keo Venzee being non-binary and Varko Grey being LGBTQ i also enjoyed the return of familar Wedge Antilles,Hera Syndulla and Rae Sloanes first Appearance in the media also loved how both the New Republic and Imperial were humanized also connecting to future media such as past media the Sequel Trilogy,Rogue One,Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars:Resistance it was great to learn the beginnings of Project Starhawk my only complaint is that we didnt participate in the Battle Of Jakku also didnt wish Linden Javes didnt fake his death.



Multiplayer: Gameplay is class-based, with both the New Republic and the Empire having four starfighter classes that the player can choose from: Fighter (TIE Fighter for the Empire and X-Wing for the Republic), Interceptor (TIE Interceptor and A-Wing), Bomber (TIE Bomber and Y-Wing), and Support (TIE Reaper and U-Wing). Also its awesome you can participate in in Dogfights also fleet battles are Super fun you customize the appearance of both your fighter and pilot which is great as the inside of your ship. I think This The Best Star Wars Pilot Simulator on par with Star Wars Rogue Squadron Series from the N64 and Gamecube.

Overall I think This The Best Star Wars Pilot Simulator 10/10

The graphics and customization in this game is something that other developers should look at as a good standard. However for a Star Wars Story, the story mode holds little engagement. Each mission is the same as the last. Fight enemy fighters, blow something up, rinse and repeat. There are no moments that keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what happens next. MULTIPLAYER needs work. Fleet Battles are entertaining but get old quickly if you play multiple matches in a row. Dogfighting is not enjoyable whatsoever, the Republic always wins, their fighters have shields, the Empire's do not. I believe this game was a huge missed opportunity. There was so much that could have been incorporated into this game that simply went unused.

Picked this game up cause it reminded me of the ever popular game series rogue squadron and so far it's been a good intriguing game. Too bad EA decided to make it more about the online experience, outside of that, customizing your pilot is fun and along with that it almost just feels like an expansion pack for battlefront 2 (2015). Not bad at all for 39.99! Would recommend the game to anyone who enjoyed rogue squadron and Star Wars in general!
