Star Wars: Squadrons (PC)

Star Wars: Squadrons bekommt das Feeling, was man bisher nur aus den Filmen kannte, durch ein gelungenes Sounddesign und Animationen ausgezeichnet hin. Ständige technische Ungereimtheiten innerhalb der Kampagne und der limitierte Umfang im Multiplayer halten den Titel leider deutlich zurück, was die lange Eingewöhnungszeit für Neulinge nicht wirklich einfacher macht.

Star Wars: Squadrons is the dogfighting experience in the iconic sci-fi universe we've been waiting for, and the game is supremely passionate about making this something that genre veterans and hesitant newcomers can enjoy with minimal obstacles.

The campaign's narrative leaves you wanting, and the flagship Fleet Battles can be incredibly uneven. But the feeling of Squadrons' core flight combat is gratifying enough to sustain you through it all.

Impressive effort with a few noticeable problems holding it back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.

Star Wars: Squadrons’ single-player campaign tells an entertaining story, while its flight controls hit a sweet spot between accessibility and nuance – and it’s made even better by VR and HOTAS support.

The multiplayer delivers huge thrills, while the single-player struggles to hit the target.

Star Wars Squadrons gives you a decently-sized single-player campaign, an enjoyable albeit limited multiplayer and VR support for all modes on PS4 and PC, and all for $40. If only there were a few more maps and one or two game modes, this would have been near faultless.
