The reviews for Star Wars Outlaws present a sentiment overall. Many reviewers appreciate the immersive world-building and Star Wars atmosphere, describing it as a visually stunning and engaging experience for fans of the franchise. However, the game is plagued with technical issues such as frequent crashes and performance concerns that hinder gameplay, leading to frustration among players. On a positive note, the dynamic between the main character, Kay Vess, and her companion Nix is praised, adding a charming element to the gameplay. The faction system's impact on decision-making is noted, though it sometimes feels shallow. Overall, while strong in its depiction of the Star Wars universe, the game struggles with its mechanics and technical stability, suggesting that players might want to wait for patches or a sale before purchasing.
