Star Wars: Squadrons Review - The Final Verdict

Ойындар

After Star Wars: Battlefront II’s disastrous launch, it seemed that giving EA the Star Wars license was a bit of mistake. Since then, they’ve made Battlefront II a game worth playing, released the excellent Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and now they’ve knocked it out of the park once again with Star Wars: Squadrons. This is an exceptionally focused game, and it’s all the better for it.
The story isn’t too long, mostly because it doesn’t waste your time, but between the replayability of the campaign and the excellent if challenging multiplayer, there’s a lot of game to enjoy here. The focused nature of things means that Squadrons won’t be for everyone, but what Motive has accomplished is impressive, especially since the game runs well on a mouse and keyboard, a controller, a joystick, and VR.
It’s also proof that Jedi: Fallen Order wasn’t a fluke. EA is more than capable of handling the Star Wars license, and if they keep giving us games like Star Wars: Squadrons, the future of Star Wars games looks pretty bright. For now, it’s just good to be back in the cockpit of an X-wing again. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait so long next time.

    You’re tailing a rogue x-wing in the imperial graveyard, zipping through the broken debris from ships as you fire your lasers at the x-wing, as your team dogfights around you. This particular x-wing has killed multiple of your squadamates, and you intend the return the favor. You hit him with lasers every now and again, trying to get a lock. You fire a missile, but he lives. Finally, after tailing him for minutes on end, you deliver the killing blow. You sigh in relief, and zoom back into the fight. That’s based on a true story. That happened. Another example is in the nadiri dockyards. You’re zooming through the outside of the place, flying past hangars as an enemy ship tail you. You boost, dodge, heal, and flee. Eventually, you come to place where you turn around, and you get a few good shots in. Then you’re tailing them, and you blast them to bits. That’s another loosely-based true story. This game is one of the most cinematic, immersive, and borderline incredible flatscreen games I’ve ever played. I feel like a tie pilot when I play this game.

The other tactic: is boom 'n zoom (there are two types of e.g WW2 fighter, tnb and bnz): you zoom in at high speed, shoot with max lasers (only works if you have strong firepower- a classic BnZ plane was the P-47 Thunderbolt for example)-not slowing down, then zooming away. In squadrons, because there are no stall physics: you can use both I.e zoom onto the guys tail, try to TnB, then divert power to engines and boost away if he's circle jerking, rinse and repeat.

    I just honestly dont know what to tell ya dude, im a huge Star Wars fan too from the UK so i picked up this game for £30 which is dirt cheap for a brand-new game but it does show in the lack of content. I mean i still got all the Rogue Squadron games from bk in the day and i luv them for all the missions you had in those games, thats what i really miss and truly wanted in this game. Sure visually it looks awesome, the detail in sound effects of when you swoosh past a fleet ship, to lasers fired at you, to when your ship gets damaged, the whole little details of diverting power throughout your ship to various systems. There are things i like about it, still havnt played the multiplayer aspect yet cause im just so erked about the single-player being so bare-bones. It just feels like EA could have tried much harder and done so much more with this game, but those chose to spend as little possible in resources to this game and just go for a quick cash-grab off the multiplayer aspect. Lastly i just want to say i've bought nearly every Star Wars game out there i still got Demolition and Masters of Teras Kasi on PS1 but i wont literally list all of them. But i also have morals and i actively chose not to buy EA SW BF 1 because i saw that as pathetically bare-bones not even having a singleplayer was what led me to not buy that game. And EA Battlefront II i followed all the controversy surrounding that game bk in 2017 leading upto it's release and i was astounded and dissgusted with the shady, corporate business practices of EA to do with their Microtrans "Lootcrate" and "Star Cards" scandal. So i chose not to buy that game either. Even later when they took all that out and actually "fixed" the game once they realized the whole world had seen them for what they truly are about (laziness and sheer corporate greed). By that point too much damage had been done IMO and i just stayed away, the game was even in my "free games" on PS+ and i chose not to dwnld it. As much of a big passionate Star Wars fan as i am, when i see my beloved franchise is being used only for greedy profit and theres no real substance in a Star Wars movie or game i wipe my hands of that particular thing.

But EA just baffle me because they produced a truly great "Singleplayer" Star Wars game in Jedi: Fallen Order, i dont know why they just didnt get Motive to do something special for Squardons like they did with that game. All i will say to you is if you really luv multiplayer in Star Wars games and especially like flying based Star Wars games maybe give this game a chance.

    I'm glad you often brought up the old X-Wing v Tie Fighter games because I do feel that a major portion of people out there coming across this game do miss out that while sure there's plenty of arcade-y elements to some aspects, various conscious decisions were made with Squadrons that touch upon that quasi niche hobbyist angle that those old ship combat titles had comparatively to something like Battlefront, BF1942's Mod Galactic Conquest, even Rogue Squadron to a degree. That's not to say it's completely alienating and a new person couldn't acclimate to the style, but I think those who have been a bit harsh on the "oh it's just ship combat?" reaction are missing a bit of the appeal of why people like these kinds of games.

    I've only played Squadrons like once, the prologue i cant seem to get into it. I think hearing about EA not planning to add any future content just put me off it and made me realize their agenda has not changed, they may not have included any microtrans but they just want to put as little in the game itself, and get us all playing online so they still get money out of it. I was playing the prologue and it just made me think wow the old classic Rogue Squadron games did this way better, you had objectives and plenty things to do in those games and much more starfighters to choose from too. I guess i sound real pessimistic and yeah i guess i was expecting a "spiritual successor" to the Rogue Squadron games so i guess i'll just fuck off now and play them; but before i do i'll just say that EA's license for making Star Wars will end one day, and i just hope by then we can get creative dev teams who will be allowed to make truly great, indepth Star Wars games of all genres. RPG, Shooter, Flying/Space sim, Racing, beat-em-up etc, that dont have Microtrans and dont just visually look impressive but give us plenty to do in multiplayer and singleplayer.

    Let's vote: - PUBLIC VOTE: This game is complete yes. We paid 40 EUR/USD for SWS. BUT: Thumbs up: I vote for more DLC - e.g. Player vs AI and PVP combat - Devs can analyze the PVE/PVP Combat Engagements from X wing Vs Tie Fighter for inspiration - New ships for both factions (B-Wing/Assault Gunboat/Firespray/YT-1300...) Paid DLC. Thumbs down: I vote for no additional DLC. Since only one person can vote up or down, maybe we can encourage the devs to create additional content.

And i would pay for DLC that gives us the Naboo Starfighter, the ARC 170 and Jedi Starfighters. And i would also pay for somekind of Galactic Conquest-type mode, MORE MODES!!

I thought combat was cool with how you can reroute power to engine shields and weapons. You can focus shields on front or back depending on where you getting shot from. The game has a lot of depth.

Im a hot dog natural stick and rudder player, and this is no brainer pass for me. Even if it was on sale, pass. Looking pretty and it “works” (game loads and plays without crash) is not the definition of fun to me.
