Star Wars Outlaws: A Mixed Bag of Fun and Flaws

Ubisoft's latest open-world game captures the essence of Star Wars but struggles with character depth and gameplay mechanics.

The game focuses on the criminal underworld of the Star Wars universe, featuring smugglers and syndicates.
Kay Vess, the protagonist, lacks the charisma needed to elevate the story, despite an interesting background.
Gameplay includes a mix of stealth, combat, and exploration, but some mechanics feel clunky and repetitive.
Nix, Kay's adorable companion, adds unique gameplay elements and is a highlight of the experience.
The open-world design offers numerous activities and missions, though it can feel overwhelming at times.
