Star Wars: Squadrons’ pricing has some interesting commentary ahead of its 2020 release. At $40, it’s considerably lower than other big names (Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, for example). Electronic Arts Due to Relative Lack of ‘Breadth’ (opens in new tab) compared to other more expansive games. However, it turned out to be very good and the overall pricing is not an issue for now. Because it will be fully available next week. Free from Epic (opens in new tab).
EA’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) said: “This game was designed around what we heard from the consumer, one of his biggest fantasies: flying an X-Wing fighter or his TIE fighter, dogfighting ,” said EA’s chief financial officer. Blake Jorgensen explained at the time: “So it’s not as wide as some games, but it’s still a great game.”
He was right on both counts. In honor of KOTOR, the best Star Wars games are the ones that Star Wars: Squadrons are very good at, snub his fighters and blow things up in space.
“Star Wars: Squadrons thrives where it matters most,” wrote senior editor and intergalactic joystick jockey Wes Fenlon in an 83% review. (opens in new tab)“It’s thrilling to pilot these ships just a swipe out of the water in a Star Destroyer, navigating nebulae and war debris more vivid than I could have imagined when I was playing TIE fighters in the late 1990s. The campaign that took me takes about 10 hours to complete on default difficulty, which isn’t too surprising, but you can accomplish something worth noting: this takes a long time It feels like you’re in Star Wars in a way the game didn’t.”
It sounds like a pretty solid pickup to me, especially at zero price.
