Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The cutscenes are all done well, animations and graphics fantastic, then you keep progressing and start to feel like you did this mission already, go attack the fighters, escort the ship and protect it, you will be doing often throughout.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Star Wars Quadrons is in a lot of ways really great. even just on its own, the way the cockpit design is so dynamic and integral to the gameplay makes this an incredible entry in the space shooter genre. everything's so chunky and worn, the audio design is impeccable, you can really feel connected with the ships you get to fly. definitely absolutely play the "instruments only" mode, it's a subtle but effective change that makes your relationship with the cockpit mechanic more active and compelling. i would love to see this game's presentation adapted to a full-on open world single player or co-op space game with star systems and free traversal, especially if you also got to fly neutral starships rather than being stuck on the empire/rebel sides. star wars outlaws had some of this, but it was underbaked because they also had to make a whole other game. star wars freelancer, please
