Good for casual players or those that just want to chill after a rough day at work. Still feels very bare bones to me and would be nice to have full voice acting, but overall I'd suggest people to give it a try.

As a Star Wars fan I had high hopes for this game, so I might be a tad too harsh with it.

Story is minuscule and full of overused Star Wars tropes. The characters, again, are fun but there's barely any interactions with them and full of stereotypes.

Gameplay is basically the old Tomb Raider games but in the universe of Star Wars. It's boring and repetitive. They add puzzles and mechanics just for so the player has something, anything, to do. Otherwise the game would be 5 minutes long. Having to return to a planet because you didn't had a power yet when you went there is a complete pain.

Combat is Parry focused but so badly optimized for keyboard and mouse I thought of it more like a chore than something actually fun to do between puzzles.

But, as always, soundtrack is fire.

Well, it was a long road to get where we are today. In the beginning they made a lot of promises that they couldn't keep, and I still think it's our job to make sure they don't forget. But little by little they delivered, and that has to count for something.

There are still some bugs and wonky happenings from the automatically generated planets and star systems, and it could still use some graphic improvement for both its quality and its resources consumption. And it does get repetitive after a while. Story wise could also get a nice polish and focus more on it, as well as more complex alien species.

But all in all, it is a fun game, specially if you are playing with friends, and it has new things still being added to it every once in a while.

Right out of the bat, I just want to say that I really liked the story, the ambience, and the world. Great place to explore and I am loving it so far.

But I can't, in good conscience, thumps up a Triple A with such a disgraceful port to Mouse and Keyboard. I reckon players who use the remote won't have this sort of issues, but I found the keys unresponsive, not intuitive and just a bother most of the times. With their fame and fortune they had more than the resources to work on a proper Mouse Keyboard Port.

And before people begin with "But MacLeod! This is a Souls game!" let me just say I don't really mind the difficulty at all. I just can't forgive blocky and unresponsive key mapping.

Total and utter crap. The most basic house and quest mods and some pointless pet things. Everything, and I mean everything (including the "Survival Mode") is leagues below the mods you find in other communities.

If you are into grinding and the usual MMO mechanics, this game is definitely for you. If you are like me and absolutely hate grinding and repeating the same thing over and over, but like lore and story telling you might still have fun in this game.

I know I certainly do!

This game has the most annoying, 2D, poorly written characters I have EVER seen in a video game.

The story is bland, the characters aggravating, the choices are either meaningless or stupid (It's either full in favor of something or fully against, there's no mild or reasonable way to solve a dispute), the political issues are about everything expect the issues the populate feel during a real war, and the actual game play has little to no strategic value whatsoever.

I really wanted to like this game, but I just can't.
