Star Wars: Battlefront II

If you can overlook the short campaign and the old controversy about the pay system (which they have fixed), then this game is amazing. The multiplayer is super fun with a wide variety of fun scenarios

In the beginning, this game was no doubt pay to win. and disappointed many battlefront fans. Its controversy even made it to the news almost dooming the game.

However since then, the developers have turned the game from a controversial pay to win, to a fun star wars game that is just a great game in general. since 2017, they have a whole new progression system, a whole new microtransaction system, and have added a lot of enjoyable content. Heroes like obi wan and anakin have been added, along with villains like General Grievous to Dooku. They have a huge amount of Clone wars content. and have a lot more content coming to the game.

Sure, it still has some flaws, but the games graphics are amazing and its fun to play. My only complaint is the campaigns cliched story line, but i would seriously urge anyone to give the game a second chance, its worth it.

I didn't buy this at first because of the hate it got at the beginning. But I've had so much fun with this for about a week now and I just want to play more and more!

Battlefront 2 was a highly controversial release at the time, as the game was heavily (and rightfully) criticized for its emphasis on microtransactions, which allowed to pay real-life money for in-game advantages, a toxic gaming attitude if ever there was one.

What about today? Microtransactions are gone and the game has been polished and updated to satisfying results. The single player campaign is short but decent; the multiplayer is excellent, with maps from different eras (original trilogy, prequel trilogy, sequel trilogy), many classes and heroes with a neat variety of powers, tactics and customization, and also various game modes, including spaceship battles and a personal favorite, Ewok Hunt, where some players are Stromtroopers lost on Endor and the others are the Ewoks stalking them.

I wish local co-op on the same console offered more choices - there are a few game modes allowing it, but a minority compared to what you can play online. Still, this is how you salvage a fiasco.

8/10

Although i did enjoy it at the start it added a lot having to unlock heroes, but it was something new that nobody could find the right place for it in their hearts. 2 years later this game has taken a full 180 (a really good comeback) with constant updates, no microtransactions and months even years of fun this game definitely deserves the 9/10
