  • Involved flight mechanics and the pure joys of dogfighting fill Star Wars: Squadrons with plenty of highlights, even if its campaign and multiplayer experiences can leave you wanting.
    Edmond completed the Squadrons campaign on PS4 in about 8 hours, spent an additional 15 hours playing multiplayer on PC, and a couple of hours testing VR using both PSVR and Oculus headsets. Code was provided by the publisher.

      The problem with Star Wars in general is “ bad guy is bad” and build the stories around the revels instead of the universe. I want a story where the empire is the good guy, showing why so many people sign up to be part of it, even more seen the rebels being terrorist and the real bad guys to the empire and the galaxy.

    I have never been a fan of multiplayer games, but man, this game has me hooked. I am busy with my 3rd campaign playthrough (bumped up the difficulty), but it is the 5v5 Dogfight mode that got me addicted. I absolutely love it. Especially the asteroid field. I agree that the Yavin map is not that fun. With my PSVR and Thrustmaster Hotas 4, this game really is the realization of a fantasy I have had for decades...I grew up on Star Wars, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica and The Last Starfighter. I remember laying on my back and looking at the stars in the back of our station wagon as a child when we had to drive somewhere at night and imagining that the back window was my cockpit window...And now I sit at work every day waiting for the horn to blow so I can get home and jump into the cockpit of my beautiful little A-Wing....
