Star Wars: Squadrons

The game definitely has some problems, such as low amount of modes and lack of facial customisation, but the game is very enjoyable. The game has a high skill ceiling and, at first, can feel like you will never get the hang of it - but you do. I have literally never played a flight simulator before but I already feel like I'm on my way to becoming an ace pilot in the Star Wars universe. Customization is also fun, and different looks for your pilot and starfighter definitely makes you feel unique, aswell as different upgrades to unlock to give you an edge in different areas of gameplay.

In conclusion, the game is fun, but it's not for everyone. It has a very high skill ceiling and a progression system that gives you unlocks to better suit your play style (that you can only unlock by playing the game - no micro transactions, which is a step forward for EA). Would recommend for fans of Star Wars and/or flight simulators.

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.

This game was really unnecessary,with Star Wars Battlefront alredy having a good spaceship modes. The only good thing from this game was the campaign and the immersion it gave to the point of view of the spaceship. Controls are hard to learn and VR support feels very of with a controller in hand instead of the joysticks.

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....
