Star Wars Outlaws Review
Review
Aug 26, 2024
Ubisoft’s next sprawling open-world adventure is also the first of its kind for a Star Wars game. Star Wars Outlaws is a wretched hive of scum and villainy encapsulated in video game form, and it’s so great at it. Outlaws is the fix for those who have been burnt-out by traditional Ubisoft open-world games and Jedi-centric Star Wars films and television shows over the years. Massive Entertainment, the developers behind my personal favorite RTS World in Conflict, as well as The Division and The Division 2, offer a wholly new experience by giving a look at the galaxy through the eyes of an up-and-coming scoundrel. Star Wars Outlaws is an excellent entry in what I hope can become a series, as I want to go on more adventures with Kay and Nix, who steal the show. And so Star Wars Outlaws is the elation and nostalgia of “Chewie, We’re Home.”
Sins of a Solar Empire II Review
Review

How long has it been since a friend asked, “Which faction should I play as?” on our first game of Sins of a Solar Empire? 13 years? 14? My god, has it been that long? It feels odd to type that, especially after playing through another match of Sins of a Solar Empire II. In some ways, the sequel to the blend of 4X and Real Time Strategy almost feels like it barely changed, in others, it feels like a completely new game. If you, by any chance, read “4X and real time strategy” and thought about “Stellaris”, don’t. “Sins of a Solar Empire” not only predates Paradox blend of 4X and Grand Strategy, but it has much more emphasis on the “real time strategy” aspect. It is the almost perfect definition of “easy to pick up and learn, extremely hard to master”.
