Strong review scores dropping for SW: Squadrons

Some cracking review scores are dropping (OpenCritic - scores can fluctuate - appears to have an early average of 80/100 - "strong").

The common theme seems to be:

  • Focused game where the multiplayer is the best part.
  • Nuanced and skilled gameplay.
  • Single-player campaign is fair, but basically acts as an advanced skills tutorial.

What have you seen?

What are your reactions? 🙂

    I think that Compares very favorably with the 6.5. IGN gave Battlefront2/Starfighter Assault a couple of years ago.


    I personally never go by reviews, considering all producers pay the review sites for favorable reviews...its how its done.

  • Not surprised to be honest. I'm glad EA seems to have taken a lot away from the SWBF2 microtransaction fiasco. Jedi Fallen Order is in my opinion one of the best Star Wars games released, up there with the original Dark Forces and Jedi Knight series with Kyle Katarn. Vader: Immortal on Oculus has been very successful as well, and imo is pretty good fun with a lightsaber too.

    So yeah, I'll be jumping in, in 30 minutes - one of the benefits of working from home.😃

    Funny how the producers of the games that suck forget to pay. 😉

    This remains one of the most nonsensical conspiracy theories in gaming, yet many people seemingly believe it. 🤓

    Awesome news to hear; hopefully this brings new pilots into the fold.
