Star Wars Battlefront II
Star Wars Battlefront II had a release that was shrouded in the dark clouds of the great loot box controversy but if you manage to look beyond EA’s blunder, you’ll find a game that makes great improvements to its predecessor. Star Wars Battlefront II brings a single-player campaign to the series. Even a mediocre campaign would have been a nice addition since the previous game didn’t offer one at all but Battlefront II delivers a well-paced and enjoyable single-player campaign that is sure to satisfy any Star Wars fan.
The new campaign is a great addition but it would mean very little if Star Wars Battlefront II didn’t also deliver when it comes to multiplayer game modes. Here, a class system complements the equitable Star Cards, which provides more variety in how you want to play the game. No matter how you choose to approach the game in terms of strategy, you’ll be met with gunplay that feels fluid and snappy. Great gunplay is always the most important aspect of a FPS, so the gunplay here helps to make up for various other shortcomings. In addition to the intrusive loot boxes, you’ll be met with useless AI, a lack of balance between difficulty settings, and clunky menus. All this fades away though as you enjoy a game that just feels good to play, offers a ton of content, and has stunning art direction.
