Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics are still amazing to look at, and they beautifully and pretty faithfully capture the themes and visuals of the original trilogy.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Star Card loadouts gave lots of variety, the powerups were incredibly satisfying and added variation - although some were clearly better than others.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
so half (or even more) of the game is unavailable most of the time and also the progression ,so many achievements are close to impossible to do now or extremely tedious, but for the rest of it (challenges and co-op) it's worth it since you can get it for under 5 euros pretty often, probably even a little bit less
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In this game you can fight as either the Rebels or the Empire, all while using many familiar weapons and vehicles.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Hearing the soundtrack kick in during a big battle does a lot for the atmosphere, and the sound design is one of the biggest reasons the game still feels authentic.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics and optimization on this game are top-notch (very rare for newer games these days).
