Star Wars Outlaws marks Ubisoft’s first major foray into the Star Wars Universe. Developed by Massive Entertainment, the game is set to arrive on the 30th of August. Ahead of this however, critic reviews for the open-world title have gone live – revealing another title in line with Ubisoft’s typical offerings.

With a Metacritic and Opencritic score of 77, Star Wars Outlaws lands neatly in line with many of Ubisoft’s releases in recent years. Similarly, the game appears to fall into many of those same trappings, including “simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch.”

While perhaps not the warmest of receptions, Star Wars Outlaws still has a long journey ahead of it, with a Season Pass already announced and unveiled – showing off its post-launch DLC including two story packs and a couple cosmetic bundles.

That said, launch day bugs aside, it is unlikely that Ubisoft will be able to fix many of the issues associated with the game via updates/patches – not without some serious reworking.

Still, what matters most is what fans and players think of the game, and so we will have to wait and see how Outlaws is received when it officially launches later this week.
