Whatever it means, Han Solo homageStar Wars Outlawsain’t it.
Shot at baddies over rectangular cover layouts.
Collected 7/10 pieces of scrap with some Star Wars flavour text that unlocked an item recipe of some kind.
Got discovered sneaking behind them and murdered them all before one could run to a terminal and summon reinforcements.
OK, maybe that last one is getting there.
Hacked a door using a rhythm-matching minigame and hacked a terminal by figuring out the right sequence of glyphs.
It does a fairly good job of being a Star War, mind you.
You feel that knack for location design the second you set foot in one of Outlaws' cities.
There are skeevy locals lounging against walls or bars, gossiping about sabaac or the ruling crims.
In general, Nix is the MVP, because he is secretly a Division drone in axolotl’s clothing.
But I’m not sure Outlaws wants you to do that.
Bland and unwilling as the mechanics can be, they’re an adequate delivery mechanism for the setting.
Let’s hope MachineGames fare better with Solo’s brother-from-another-genreIndiana Jones.
