The verdict
A gorgeous, great-sounding Star Wars shooter with satisfying gunplay, but online play is nearly dead and offline content is thin. Skip it if you want a campaign or populated lobbies.
Great for
Star Wars fans buying on sale who want great visuals plus co-op or bot modes, or who will join the Discord
Main risk
Multiplayer lobbies are nearly empty, so many modes and DLC maps are unplayable and offline content is thin
