I find myself in a bit of an unusual position with Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2 in that, having already played through the entire thing and reviewed it for our sister site Pure Xbox in 2024, I feel like I’m getting a quick second chance to see if my 8/10 score was justified. Spoiler alert: it was absolutely justified. So that’s that bit sorted.
I was a little surprised when the reviews dropped for Massive Entertainment’s take on the Star Wars universe because, for my money, they’ve actually outdone Respawn in a few critical ways. As much as I love the Jedi series, it does feel like a great big Star Wars rollercoaster that throws all the stuff you expect to see at you as you careen through at high speed. It’s like climbing and fighting on a big film set. And that’s fine.
