Star Wars Outlaws is a slice of Star Wars we don t often see Polygon
Star Wars Outlaws proves you can still be Star Wars without the Jedi
Lately, I've felt the urge to ask a question that I think is important for understanding Star Wars Outlaws. What is the essence of this great damn in the genre of cosmic opera, "stardom"?
Disney's Star Wars World streaming shows, especially Andor, have made me think about that. I love the Jedi stories very much, and the Force is one of the things I'm most interested in in this universe, but Obi-Wan Kenobi, Acolyte, and Asoke seemed like very mediocre series to me. I loved Andor very much, but is it really "Star Wars"? Or is it just an image of it because it was in Star Wars?

You're probably wondering what that has to do with Star Wars Outlaws, but here it is. The game itself is a pretty ordinary 3D blast adventure in an open world, thanks to a well-crafted gameplay structure. At this point, I'm about 15 hours in, and most of what I've seen has been well-made, because the game flows smoothly, but it's well-studied territory. Stealth, silent catches, gunfights, races around [biological here] on [choose one car, horse, robot version of horse] - all of this has already been done successfully.
So when I tried to play Outlaw, the most important question came to mind: is this world Star Wars? The answer to this question depended on whether I liked the game or not. If the world is convincing, compelling, and interesting - that is, if the Star Wars dial is turned in the right direction - the game is likely to be successful, as it was with Andor. More importantly, if Star Wars is well-constructed, I was compelled to play it, even if the exhaustion and disappointment inherent in an open world might have caused me to quit or walk away from the game.

It is not a very difficult heroic action to reach this point. After the tutorial intro is impressive, Kay and her pet and partner (and the unofficial amulet of this game), like Salamander, descends on the Savanna's moon tusala. The trail blazer broke down, Tosala is under the imperial occupation, and many criminal organizations are competing, so it is necessary to do a lot of work before repairing the hyper drive.
Kay Ves himself is the first axis of "Star Wars?" The protagonist is a dashing and clumsy woman from the casino planet Cantonica (the last Jedi ", a casino planet,, for example, Kant Bite appears. She is a minor criminal living in the attic of the bar, dreaming of leaving the star and going to the galaxy city center and always obtained a jackpot. Like the villain Han Solo of Star Wars, she saves her creative and cunning, and sometimes a blaster on someone's face.

I wondered if she was intentionally trying to prevent her an orthodox Lady Han solo. Isn't Kay, who pops out every day or trying to get through all the difficulties attractive? As the game progresses, her real face and growing confidence are increasing as she begins to get out of the defeat in the early game and desperate situation. After the ND-5 is added, it will be a necessary support role. It is a good contrast that shows Kay's light humor and "Lemon making lemonade" approach, although it is now a regular "droid that dislikes people". At the heart of this game, as well, if the number of players to play (and if she gets up and the opportunity to train), Kay's expression must be even more enthusiastic. To increase the degree of perfection and become a different self. < SPAN> To reach this point is not a very difficult heroic action.

As in real life, a police state (the form of an empire), which focuses on maintaining power, as well as the inequality in pit work, which is on e-fifth control of the wealthy, and the maintenance of power. At the beginning of the game, she created a situation where Kay was placed: She was stuck in Kante, relying on minor crimes, and dreamed of a great success.
As a result, we see us that we can't get out of a crowded and dangerous city, live in an isolated hut, and sometimes get water in a place where people can't get away. It is a galaxy system of surviving people. The buildings and villages of this game are often full of random and random garbage, equivalent to "trucks with blocks in the garden." Once passed through the cave of the ship, I found a lot of three Po-droids written or broken in the niche.

While traveling, Kay gets a job by finding a mentor to blossom the abilities as a villain or defective, and contacts the broker. However, their roles in the story are limited, and they are often focused on bringing their abilities. Some of them have my favorite NPC in this game. Kay's first broker in Thanrd's work is Dunka, Monkaramari, who has a light smoker and makes a rant that he has to learn. Kay is to improve his skills
