The verdict
A visually stunning, fun Star Wars shooter with great hero battles and a decent campaign, but abandoned by EA. Cheaters, few players and EA account hassles hurt it. Skip it if you want polished online play.
Great for
Star Wars fans who buy on sale for the campaign, co-op and Kyber-modded multiplayer
Main risk
Cheaters and a small player base ruin online matches, and EA account linking can block launching.
