  I really can’t understand all the hate people had for the game.

  Yes, it’s a typical Ubisoft formulatic exploration/stealth game, very much like Assassin’s Creed and Horizon. Yes, it had a digital deluxe edition with a bunch of DLC and an early access window. No, it didn’t really break any new ground, but it was a fun game with a good amount of content to do in a reasonably realized game world (even if they really shrunk some locations like Tatooine down to fit into the game). The story was pretty good, the characters were interesting, and the overall gameplay loop was fun.

  It deseved better than to be panned by a lot of people complaining the game was woke because the lead was a female who wasn’t a 10/10 bombshell in the looks department.

    I don’t think people yelling about “woke” is sinking any game, or else Kingdom Come: Deliverance II would have bombed.

    had a digital deluxe edition with a bunch of DLC [featuring one of the biggest characters from the movies]

    I think the above, plus an expensive development budget, is all you needed to make this game unsuccessful.

      I’m curious what it really was. They got a lot of shit for having a single mission with Jabba locked behind DLC (there were many, many other missions with Jabba that weren’t locked behind DLC), but I feel that was no different than many other games that add DLC – any game set in this time period would likely have missions with characters that were from the original trilogy, for Ubisoft to ensure that none of those missions were DLC missions doesn’t necessarily seem like it’s reasonable if they want the DLC to be of any value.

      In any case, having beat it and the DLC, I would totally recommend that people who like that kind of gameplay loop grab it if it’s on sale, it was a lot of fun.

    I agree man, but I played it long after it was released, and apparently a lot of issues got patched.

    I don’t clean that the game was perfect. It had a lot of clunkiness, but I really enjoyed it and I do hope they do a sequel.
