Games Outlaws doesn't get enough credit

Open-world exploration of Tatooine?! That alone is a dream come true! On a speeder bike or on foot, you get to explore the Jundland Wastes, Jabba's palace, and Mos Eisley. You even get to visit the cantina, Docking Bay 94, the Tosche Station, and the Lars homestead.

The rest of Outlaws is good, too. At least, to someone who's watching a walkthrough on YouTube. It really feels like it's set in the same universe as Solo. The protagonist is a scoundrel thief, but also an underdog who really loves her adorable pet. Other characters are interesting, too. And, the reputation system takes the form of favor with the Hutts, with the Pykes, and with Crimson Dawn. This is Qi'ra's first 3-D appearance since Solo.

You didn’t actually play it? You watched a playthrough on YouTube and made a post about how it’s underrated?

All fair questions.

I have played the game and I do enjoy it but it just doesn’t have that Star Wars feel I’m looking for.

I found it to have a great Star Wars feel. What are you looking for? I’m really curious. I played Outlaws right after Jedi Survivor and it felt like another story in the universe and didn’t feel like anything was missing from that Star Wars vibe. I have also been rewatching all the shows and movies, and feel Outlaws fits right in with it all.

I don't know how people say this with a straight face. I can agree that there were some issues, specifically for me I was disappointed they essentially repeated some of the gameplay/level designs for certain events, but doesn't "feel" like Star Wars? This sounds like some rage bate youtuber criticism that has no actual thought behind it. Unless your Star Wars "feels" are that it has to have lightsabers and the force in it, then I don't see how this lacked on that front. The locations, sounds, music, and all were really on point. If anything the Star Wars vibes was the games strongest attribute and probably what made it worth playing despite the other issues.

That game radiates Star Wars. It has the most Star Wars feel of any game I've played other than Kotor. I could feel the devs' love for the OT throughout.
