    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although the campaign of the game is good and enjoyable, the multiplayer has been ruined by EA's almost pay2win system. A loot-box system with micro-transactions are OK if the game was free-to-play, however you are paying at least € 64,99 for a standard edition, and € 89,99 for a deluxe edition. When you buy a full prised game, there should not be things locked that can be bought with real money, that not "pride and accomplishment". The gameplay is fun but is is just ruined by EA's stupid economic decisions and their greed, I feel sorry for the developers of the game and that they have their game ruined by the worst company ever.… Expand

    The developers of this game clearly have zero respect for the Battlefront community. Not only have they repeatedly shown that the entire multiplayer experience is just a money-grab, but the way that they're reacted to this whole controversy just proves that they see customers only for their wallets.

    Despite this game being an improvment gameplay-wise, we should not support lootbox progression system, gambling, unfair match rewards, vague answers and all EA and DICE are doing.
    It seems like DICE is next studio to be ruined by EA after Bioware.

    According to EA, the "unlocking characters through points" feature is to "provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment".

You can't make a 60-80$ game and implement pay-to-win strategies such as buying Crystals with real money getting tons of Star Cards and crafting materials to craft these into even better Star Cards... The only thing money should ever get you in a game that you already pay 60-80$ is cosmetics. It should never affect your game play. If you want to do that, make it a F2P game.

    EA is trash. They continue to produce AAA titles with maximum marketing effort and then absolutely **** the bed with implementation always involving micro transactions and increasing levels of Pay to Win as time goes on. I really hope that this game might be the thing to wake folks up and to finally start voting with their wallets.

    Don't give in to this micro-transaction nonsense! If you pay full price for a triple-A title, you should not have to pay more, or grind for 100's of hours, to get access to all of the content. Buying into this lootbox greed sends the message to EA that we as gamers are ok with it. We. Are. Not.

    Don't buy this game until they remove the pay to win lootbox cash grab.

    All this excellence is spoiled with greed. Battlefield games had the unlock-kit DLC´s and as stupid as it sounds those DLC-packs did not affect gameplay.

    Although the game is actually funny, the loot box system destroys all sense of progression, since you need to get those boxes in order to progress and unlock star cards. It's a pay-to-win system in a AAA game. It kills all the fun and the sense of challenge. Don't buy it.

    Garbage Pay 2 win system that is more focused on a cash grab, and how much money it can milk from players than anything. This is essentially a virtual gambling simulator. Imagine if you went to a Casino and before you sat down at any slot machine, you had to pay someone to let you sit down to play, before you put money into the machine. That is essentially this game.

    This feels like a free-to-play experience; when I pay a premium price for a game, I expect a premium experience.

    I have to admit, while trying to progress, the system does feel like a prettier version of a slot machine. As progression is tied to randomised loot boxes, essentially micro-gambling, it feels cheap. And to have this variation of gambling in a Disney game is just simply not cool to put it lightly.

    The game-play is fun when it isn't influenced by additional real life money.

    Pro's: Beautiful Game, very immersive. Game play is fun

    Con's: Campaign is short, other modes are pay to win - "loot crates" are not cosmetic and translate to actual game power

    Recommendation: Wait until it's in the bargain bin for the campaign, money saved can then be spent on "loot crates" and you might be competitive.

    unshackled greed ruins what would otherwise be an incredibly fun an polished game. This is disrespectful to gamers and Star Wars alike, and no fan should support this product. The game itself deserves way more than a 1, and that's what make this situation so insulting, EA knows we want this product so they did everything to exploit us, ruining the experience for most people.

    I pre-ordered the Battlefront II Deluxe edition, having extensively played the beloved 2004 and 2005 originals and the 2015 Battlefront remake.

A feature of the Deluxe model over the standard game permitted play prior to official release, and as a result I have spent the last 24-hours playing. However, buyer beware: this is not your atypical high-budget 'AAA' title; this game is better represented by a free-to-play mobile model.

    As a casual gamer, I have always been careful to avoid the free-to-play format which recovers revenue by tempting the player into purchasing in-game items and currencies via 'micro-transactions'. The in-game currency can then be used to buy 'loot-crates' which offer a chance to win more in-game items. The process can be repeated if the in-game item you want is not won immediately. Slot machines work in much the same manner, wherein if you do not win a prize you can place another coin in the slot and try, try again. Much to my dismay, this model has become popular with high-budget games such as Overwatch and the recent Call-of-Duty, wherein cosmetic items (think costumes or 'skins', alternate paint-jobs on weapons, etc.) can be won by this gambling process. However, Battlefront II is distinct in that the items available for gamble are essential to the game-play itself (such as aim-assist, damage multipliers and powerful in-game characters).

    Don't get me wrong though - the classic Star Wars backdrops and characters prominent in this game were visually impressive. Furthermore, the gameplay itself appeared fluid and characters were well-integrated with environs, despite minor character clipping I noticed only toward the end of my last session with the game. However, after every death at the hands of an enemy character, a small window would pop-up on the screen to indicate the in-game items and and associated power-ups used to defeat me. Despite in-game play timers placed on these upgrades before they can be used, many items persistent on my screen were clearly inaccessible at this pre-release stage of the game, except via micro-transactions. This constant visual reminder of in-game gambling largely nullifies any positive review I could provide about the graphical state of Battlefront II.

    Ultimately, as an Australian resident, I was able to return the game under the Australian Consumer Law citing misleading conduct. It was unreasonable to expect that a full-priced game such as Battlefront II employ in-game gambling mechanics to the degree that it governs play. I would not recommend this game and, furthermore, hope that this review stands to support those who have purchased this game and feel similarly mislead.    … Expand

    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.
