In our grade comparison to Star Wars Outlaws we list tests, reviews, ratings or whatever from the following German online game magazines – regardless of the fact that some of them also publish print offers (aka magazines): Eurogamer.de, GameStar.de, GamePro.de, PCGames.de (& Videogameszone.de) and, of course, GamersGlobal.de – although we politely place ourselves at the end of the review list. What is important to us: A rating can only ever be a rough description of the game quality – please read the respective test report before you comment on a possibly out-of-the-ordinary grade.
Rating comparison: Star Wars Outlaws
Review by | Note/Link | Quote from the test report |
Eurogamer | – | Not tested* |
GameStar | 84 of 100 | On paper, all of the game mechanics are merely solid to decent, but through its rhythm, its characters, through Nix, Kay and the breathtaking scenery, the game still conveys exactly the emotions it needs to convey. |
GamePro | 85 of 100 | Star Wars Outlaws is certainly not a game that raises the bar for AAA adventures with clever innovations. Absolutely not. But what is much more important is that you get around 30 hours of extremely entertaining and motivating popcorn action, where you can “switch off” your brain and just have fun. |
PC Games / Videogameszone.com | 8 v.10 | A very successful Star Wars adventure with an atmospheric game world, a well-crafted story, but also minor flaws and technical deficiencies. |
GamersGlobal | 7.5 v. 10 | In my opinion, Star Wars Outlaws is a missed opportunity whose weaknesses should not be ignored. The idea of sidekick Nix is almost ingenious, Kay is a good heroine, and the trick of staging Star Wars as a burglar story deserves respect. If the main story and especially the overloaded and stubborn controls had been tweaked a bit and it had been turned into a “normal” triple-A action adventure like Uncharted, for example, it might have been a real hit. |
Average rating | 8.1 | *Last checked: 28.08.2024, 11:00 |
We calculate the average rating based on the 10-point system, so a “75” corresponds to a 7.5. Of course, the rating systems and philosophies differ in detail. If a magazine gives different ratings or grades depending on the platform, we use the highest for the average. If a test has since been published by a magazine that is marked here as “Not tested”, we would be happy if you would mention the rating and link in the comment.
