Our own Daniel Tack reviewed Rocket Arena, and what he had to say goes almost directly against what I'm saying, and I kind of like that! His review is a solid representation of the two sides of the spectrum regarding this game: Some really loved it for what it was, and others felt like it offered nothing special. It's a charming adventure, one that offers the thrill of multiplayer fun without the bogged-down feeling of a grind that feels more like a chore than a game. They've got their baggage, their rivalries, but they've also got their own goals and aspirations as well. Much like Overwatch, there is a unique roster of characters with their own personalities, which adds a nice touch of individuality to the game. This 3v3 shooter is constantly on the go, which makes utilizing the unique rockets and abilities incredibly fun when facing off against enemy players. Rocket Arena is a must-play for one simple reason: It's an excellent stress reliever. Like most starships in this universe, Jedi: Fallen Order could use a little polish, but the rust doesn’t hold it back from roaring with excitement." The inspirations are taken from Dark Souls, Uncharted, and Metroid Prime unite to create something unique that happens to work incredibly well for this beloved license.

I couldn’t put this game down, both for the thrill of exploring and wanting to see where the story took me next. This game's praise has positively shaped the future of EA titles, especially for those that are burnt out on multiplayer-only experiences.įrom our review of the game: "Despite these numerous little problems, Respawn’s maiden voyage with Star Wars is largely a success. This single-player adventure was a massive hit, and its success showed EA that there is still a lot of love (which means a lot of money to be made, from a business perspective) for solo adventures. Greez is a hilarious Latero that is very much that sidekick with the witty one-liners and a lovable grandpa feel. Cal is joined by quite a few companions, including Cere and Greez, and that companionship seen throughout my time with the game creates a truly organic Star Wars feel. It's fun!įallen Order fits into the overall Star Wars universe following Revenge of the Sith's events, when it was very much the world against the Jedi. Seriously! Give it a go, even if this style of game isn't your usual go-to.

It’s just fun to play, providing something different compared to most of today’s competitive games." Given just how enjoyable it is to pilot an X-Wing or TIE Fighter, this is a multiplayer experience I will continually go back to, even if EA doesn’t support it with new content. When the lasers start flying, Squadrons’ multiplayer can be nothing short of exhilarating and a great test of skill, pushing players to be clever in the cockpit to outthink and outmaneuver opponents. Flying in formation with a group of friends put a smile on my face, and that was just the calm before the storm. Our editor-in-chief, Andrew Reiner, recently reviewed the game, saying: "Squadrons’ single-player may fizzle out frequently like a malfunctioning hyperdrive motivator, but the multiplayer continually impresses and is worth the price of entry alone.

It's pretty awesome, and even better if you have VR! With the Empire and Rebel forces once more at each other's throats, Squadrons gives players a chance to feel like a real pilot in a galaxy far, far away. Star Wars: Squadrons is set after the events in Return of the Jedi, and the second iteration of the Death Star has gone kaput.
