In the tumultuous galaxy of Star Wars Outlaws, GamingBolt bravely ventured forth to review the base game, awarding it a middling 6 out of 10 back in August 2024. While the title boasted a sprawling open world and a narrative that captured the essence of scoundrel fantasy, it stumbled over technical glitches and antiquated design choices. Fast forward to the present, and the developers have unleashed a torrent of patches aimed at refining gameplay mechanics, raising the question: has the game finally reached its potential? Enter the new story expansion, A Pirates Fortune, a brief yet thrilling escapade following KS Nyx and the enigmatic Hondo Onaka in search of hidden treasures.
The DLC, clocking in at a mere 3-4 hours, introduces the cunning antagonist Stinger Tash and delivers a tale brimming with mystery and intrigue, albeit stumbling at the finish line. Despite narrative shortcomings, the charismatic presence of Hondo Onaka injects life into the expansion, carrying it through its short runtime. Gameplay improvements shine through post-launch patches, enhancing enemy AI, stealth mechanics, and combat dynamics. Space battles take center stage, with a new ship piloting experience injecting adrenaline into the game's veins.
Visually, Star Wars Outlaws continues to dazzle, maintaining its status as a graphical marvel. Despite its rocky start, the game has metamorphosed into a more polished experience, with the Pirates Fortune DLC showcasing the fruits of the developers' labor. However, the game's lackluster sales performance hints at missed opportunities during its initial launch. As the future of Star Wars Outlaws hangs in the balance, only time will tell if it ascends to cult classic status. Share your thoughts, subscribe for more updates, and brace yourself for the thrilling journey that lies ahead in this ever-evolving galactic saga.
