Star Wars Outlaws. Just hit the 40hr mark and honestly …. Even for a Ubisoft game this is astonishingly bad. You have a developer who knows how to do third person shooters and so many devs who know how to make stealth games (pretty bad ones but I digress) and somehow you make a game where those two elements are near non existent or straight up terrible. Level design is so confusing, combined with no GPS, some of these missions I’ve been stuck on far longer than I think even the developers intended, I honestly wish this game would treat me like I’m stupid at this point lol. By far my biggest issue tho, and one I’ve considered putting the game down multiple times over is the cast of characters. I can’t remember the last time I played a game where everyone outside the main character is so dislikable, combine that with some of the worst writing Ubisoft’s put out spoken by voice actors who clearly don’t want to be there .. it makes for a off putting experience. Some aspects I do enjoy like the ost is fantastic and worlds look and feel like Star Wars should.

I didn’t go in expecting to hate it (it’s not Ubisoft Montreal after all), I got it half price and think Ubisoft is the worse developer in the industry sure (and nobody is ever gonna change my mind on that) but for time wasters, games you can get cheap that have a lot of content you can turn your brain off too Ubisoft is unbeatable. I’ll say I went in with low expectations but this somehow exceeded even the worst of them.
