I said it recently when I talked about “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,” but I am a huge outsider to the “Star Wars” franchise. Be that as it may, as an extreme lover of gaming, I’m willing to play a game based on source material I’m not familiar with/fond of if the game interests me. In the case of “Star Wars Battlefront II,” though, a lot of my interest in this game stemmed from the fact that…well, it’s free on PlayStation Plus this month. Yeah, that’s about it. Though, I must also say that I was intrigued when I heard so many people say that the game has been improved immensely from the horror show that was its launch. Having played through the game, has it? Well…I guess? If you’re a diehard multiplayer gamer, maybe, but otherwise, as someone who is more of a single-player gamer that enjoys campaigns…the game is definitely still a mess.
    In terms of the positives, I can definitely say that “Star Wars Battlefront II” looks great. Visually, it’s excellent all-around, and the sound design is very good, making this a game that certainly looks and sounds the part as a piece of “Star Wars” media. Beyond that, though…I mean, I guess the game is playable? I didn’t find too many bugs to speak of, the controls are solid enough, and occasionally the multiplayer can have its fun moments? Yeah, that’s the best that I can say about the gameplay as a whole in this game: it’s functional. It works for what it’s going for, and I guess on the outside, I can respect that EA and DICE managed to reverse course and actually improve the game for its player base.
    That’s about the most that I can say in terms of positives for the game, though, and no, this isn’t gonna be me lowering the score because of the “microtransactions controversy,” because honestly, a lot of that flew over my head when the game came out in 2017. My fundamental issues with the game lie in other areas, for example, the single-player campaign that I mentioned earlier. I’ll be honest with you, what’s disappointed me more than some of the microtransaction drama and PR stuff that plagued the game early on is how much EA hyped up the campaign for the game, only for it to turn out completely pitiful. Even as a non-fan of the “Star Wars” series, the story is predictable and sloppy, the campaign itself is short, and honestly, while I’m glad so many people like the gameplay as a whole in this game…I’m sorry, but I don’t. This game is UNBELIEVABLY bland, there is not a single thing to the gameplay that I personally found special or gripping whatsoever. It’s just a generic third-person shooter that’s been painted over with a “Star Wars” theme to make it seem more appealing when it’s really not. The shooting honestly feels really unfulfilling to me, the space battles feel like DICE kinda just saying, “here, damn” and not really caring what fans want, the mission structure is completely generic, and honestly, the only time I had fun with the game was when I got to play as Luke Skywalker and wield a lightsaber. And even then, that’s one level out of the 13 in the campaign (counting the prologue), I can assure you that it is not worth playing the campaign solely for that one level. The game will often throw massive waves of enemies at you all at once and try to masquerade it around as “difficulty” when it’s really just awful game design. At its core, while I’m glad so many people have fun with the game, my fundamental issue with it is that, at its core, the game is sleep-inducingly bland. Even for the short length of its campaign, the game often feels like it overstays its welcome, and it’s easily one of the most dull experiences I’ve had with a game.
    Yeah…this was really bad. Has it been improved from its disastrous launch? Sure, I guess, and the fans seem to think so, which is great, but honestly, this game feels like it doesn’t matter. It still just feels bland, generic and shallow, almost like it desecrates the “Star Wars” series by applying its characters in a half-assed way over a formulaic, paint-by-numbers third-person shooter without any of the spirit of charm that’s helped this series endure for so long. I’ve heard a lot of people talk about how Disney destroyed the “Star Wars” franchise, and while I wouldn’t know because I haven’t seen the recent films, I think EA has certainly not done the series any favors, and at this point, they’re lucky that “Jedi: Fallen Order” was such a great game and that Respawn saved the day and gave them a diamond in the rough. Honestly, if you want a great “Star Wars” game, go play that. “Jedi: Fallen Order” is a far better game, and far more worth your time than this shallow bastardization. Skip “Battlefront II” and live in comfort knowing that you’re not missing much.

    Multiplayer first since its why you probably bought the game. If you're starting out, prepare to get nuked endlessly by people who have maxed out Palpatine's who'll kill you with lightning by merely being near you. God forbid there is two bosses and your team gets wiped out of its objective in a matter of seconds. Reliability wise, there isnt many bugs, glitches, or exploits, which is expectable for a well funded game. Loot boxes are gone, but the total lack of in game funds to unlock skins and anything that'd be a highlight is pretty negligible. It's a case of patching the game and not actually making it better.

    The campaign is worse than Destiny's with this broken and barely coherent story of a shock trooper turned traitor. The main character literally doesn't second guess the morality of killing the people she's worked alongside her entire military career. You'll find yourself asking, "Why do I care about these side characters that DICE have neglected to develop the entire story?"

    Dont buy the game, you'll find yourself disappointed by the mediocre campaign, and infuriated by the unbalanced and atrocious game play of the multiplayer.    … Expand

    Sure, they took out the micro-transactions. However, that just means the game is hopelessly unbalanced and I couldn't stand it. The campaign was boring and repetitive, so that didn't help me like the game anymore. The only positives are that the game looks amazing and sounds amazing. Plus the gun-play is solid. But, it's no better than BF1.

    Either pull their licences for Star Wars, football, FIFA and hockey or let other developers use them to make competing games. the 2K hockey games were a lot of fun.

    I have the game and I am very disappointed with the lack of a playerbase with empty servers to go in. With the microtransactions set up by EA, it caused a huge rift with the players because there are remnants who stayed in the game and purchased crystals (purchased in-game currency by real-world money) keep killing newer players and making the game more frustrating than it should.

    While Loot-boxes are still a problem, they have become less forced. Sure you will get killed by a guy who has all maxed out cards, but thats not that common. I haven't purchased any loot-boxes or paid content, and i still have some fun playing.

    The game looks great, sounds great, and feels pretty good to play. The only 2 problems is that the campaign has a loose plot with little depth and poor AI. This probably would have been fine if the multiplayer wasn't a dumpster fire. Seems like little to no thought was put into matchmaking and special characters you get in multiplayer aren't balanced (it's been out for over a year).

    The grapic is good but that can't be the standard of ea. It's a shame and very disappointing that the predecessor from 2005 is way better in the terms of fun and addiction. I can't even give the a game one point for the graphic because battlefront isn't about graphics, it's about so much more.

    Even tho the devs had kinda fixed the loot boxes outrage, that does not save the game.
    Uncreative, repetitive, boring. Doing the same thing over over again is not gameplay. Yes, graphics are gorgeous, but graphics not equals game.
    It is not even Star Wars, the Stormtroopers are there, Luke and Leia too, but that's it. They are there, nothing else is.
    A game made with zero passion.

    I won't even start about how terrible EA is or what an impudence the loot boxes were. The single player mode was okay. But what really sets me off is the gameplay itself.

All my attempts of playing were waiting 10 minutes for my match to start, spawning and instantly dying 30 times and then hoping the connection doesn't crash so after 10 minutes loading the next match I can spawn and die again a dozen times. I never got to know more of the game, I never had the feeling that I can participate in a match. The base equipment is so bad every advanced player kills you before you can even blink which causes you to never get any good equipment but whithout that you can never compete with them. This is the EA circle of hell, only way to get out was paying real money for the loot boxes. When they finally removed them they ironically removed the only way to break free from this vicious circle as well. It is time to stop buying EAs games.… Expand

    A much improved game from what it was in 2017, lootboxes and micro-transactions have been entirely removed, and you can get a great offer on it now, I have hundreds of hours logged. My only complaint is that it is missing certain heroes such as Padme, Jango Fett, Asajj Ventress and Asokha Tano.

This game felt like it had to have been approved by some corporate business man so that they could get quick cash oof of people who just want to play the game. The story is ok but extremely predictable. The characters are pretty good too. The characters in this a game are written pretty and the performance by the voice actors really shines...except for iden version. Iden versio is one of the least likable main characters in a videogame in a video game because she no traits or layers to her personality. She is a one dimensional and was written as a " string female character." I lost interest in her storyline because I don't really know her as person. I don't how she grew upz what did he value, who does she hold dear? These are all extremely basic details in fleshing out a character and they didn't do that. The combat is embarassingly boring and stale. It's a third person with de-emphasized aiming. The game on the hardest difficulty is extremely easy but if you die you respawn at this obnoxious checkpoint. In the final arial battle of the game, I kept on dying 3 seconds after I respawned because the guy kept shooting one hit kill missiles at me. The multiplayer is by far the worst I have yet to see in a Video game. They hamfisted the loot pack system into a Star Wars game except it's not for cosmetics only. You can buy upgrades that make you better at the game. This leads to matches with 2 different players. The players who have the upgrades and kick everyone's ass, and the players who don't have the upgrades and can't do anything to win. The performance are not quite there yet and the maps are linear as hell. Battlefront ii sets the bar for visual design, but there is no substance. This is a terrible game because it twists an old beloved series into a cashgrab and spits in the face of players who fell victim to this game. Don't buy this game even if you are payed to play it. Stay as far away as possible. 2/10, terrible.… Expand

    This is why people hate on EA so much. They take what could be an awesome concept and monetize it to the point where you feel dirty for having given EA more money. Just skip EA games as much as possible until they stop doing this to their customers. With all the micro transactions at minimum games like this should be free to play, or just let us spend the $60-$70 on the game and drop that crap.

Space combat is slightly better, but just because the arcade like feeling is more appropriate for it. But still. Nothing special. Chaotic, spray and pray without any trully redeeming factor. After playing with lightsaber. I am disgusted. Pretty much just OP abilities, armor/health and damage, but true no skill. Comparing to older games like Jedi Academy where you could truly feel like a Jedi this is worse then the new trilogy. Luckily i didn't buy the game, got it for free but i still regret the 90GB (like WTF is there for 90GB?) download. The game is an empty pretty shell with SW sticker on it but except for free, aint worth any kind of money, and even for free its a waste of time, bandwidth and disk space.… Expand

    la campagna era partita con un'idea abbastanza interessante, peccato che come quei grandi e professionali sviluppatori di dice l'abbiano resa una vera merda.
    Ripetitiva ed a certi tratti insensata, con una durata di massimo 4 or, ripeto 4 ore, cioè la campagna di un cod dura di più ed è sempre meglio di sta immondizia ed a differenza di battlefront cod esce ogni anno.
    il multiplayer è semplicemente una cosa indescrivibile, chi si ritiene soddisfatto del lavoro di dice (come Giorgio e Mattia) in questo ambito è una persona che si metta a novanta pagando pure per farselo buttare nel culo. il multiplayer è sbilanciato, armi op, spawn fatti alla cazzo,ed eroi op come la merda. inoltre fa schifo anche il sistema a punti, perchè non da la possibilità a tutti di provare gli eroi.
    in sintesi il multiplayer è una merda.
    ah,quasi dimenticavo,all'inizio era pure pay to win. facile correre ai ripari dopo la figura di merda fatta vero dice?
    vabè,c'è anche la modalità eroi vs malvagi che è un tripudio di ganking, quindi lasciamo perder
    l'unica cosa buona di questo battlefront è la grafica ed il sistema di guida dei velivoli.

    Star Wars Battlefront II provides a greater ambition than the previous installment. It has powerful war scenes, a brand new single player mode, and shows a much more magnificent Star Wars Universe. But just like the Jedi should be ware of the dark side of the Force, this game also meets some similar situations, such as beleaguered microtransaction elements and character growth problems. The first 10 hours of this game is full of surprises; however, the further you play this game, the more disappointed you will get.
