What is with this obsession with Stormtroopers? They are in my feeds so much these days. People collecting the Kenner figurines, Lego figurines, cosplay at conventions. Stormtroopers seem to be everywhere I look! Or maybe it’d because I’m playing Star Wars Outlaws a lot and I’m having to deal with the ‘Imps’ as the game refers to the Imperial Stormtroopers.
Such a good game and I’d not even a huge Star Wars fan. In fact my Star Wars obsessed friends are not fans of the game. Maybe I like it because the controls and mechanics feel like other games I have enjoyed, like Days Gone, Uncharted, Horizon, and Tomb Raider. You control Kay Vass in the third person, traverse terrain like Lara Croft or Aloy, upgrade your speeder like Deacon St.John, and get to explore an open world completing missions in whatever order you want. Plus there are loads of games within the game. You can play Sabbac in various bars dotted around the game, or play arcade machines, or take part in speeder races, or spaceship battles. All add to the fun of the gameplay for me, but for some reason, not my Star Wars friends.
