VGChartz’s Lee Mehr: “Overall, Star Wars Outlaws is an ambitious assemblage of different mechanics and concepts gracelessly pressed into an open world too confused to handle them. Almost every integral mechanic is the equivalent of a rough first draft (even feeling incomplete in some respects), the world design is missing a greater level of genuine reactivity, and some advancements away from Ubisoft’s standardized formula are mismanaged. That template also hinders both plot and characters, making the tangibly-improved final act feel like a Pyrrhic victory. Massive went to incredible lengths – visually and aurally – to recapture the Cantina scene for the first time, but now with greater fidelity and a deeper sense of world-building. Commendable as that may be, though, not even a Special Edition can save this bucket of bolts.”
