Star Wars: Squadrons is a space fighter that sees you pilot the gorgeous X-Wings, or if you’re inclined, some Imperial TIE-Fighters. The game takes place after the events of Return of the Jedi, once the rebels have obliterated the second Death Star. The game received high praise due to its showcasing of an Imperial storyline, but mostly for the action.
Space sims can be hard to pull off and Star Wars: Squadrons nailed the ship-to-ship combat making each mission feel like it’s been pulled from the films or TV shows. It’s the perfect game for fans of the franchise, a Star Wars game that deserves to be played.
No matter what kind of mission you’re sent out on, the combat never gets old and always feels fresh. It’s not just the story that keeps you going either; there’s a brilliant multiplayer mode for you to take on friends across the galaxy. Plus, if you have a VR headset, you can feel that immersion fully in the game’s VR mode.
