    Отличная игра 10/10. Но, к сожалению, на данный момент доступно только 1/10. Остальные 9 находятся в лутбоксах.

    But it could be the greatest game of all time at its' core and it'd still be decimated almost totally by what can only be described as free-to-play loot mechanics in a full priced retail game. This means you have to pay to win at this game - you objectively HAVE to pay to compete in the games multiplayer (which, lets face, is what Battlefront 2 is; the single player 'campaign' is negligible.)

    You can't realistically grind out the same advantages and use the in-game currency, unless you played 24 hours a day for about a solid year. The game leads you at every turn to spend real world money to buy advantages in the game.

    It's... astonishing to me that the gaming industry is this set on crashing itself for the sake of a quick buck off the gullible in the short term. Without the nonsense loot box system, this game would be around a 7 or 8 as you can see enough through the utter barrage of crap that is the loot system that this would be a top, albeit casual, shooter. But I can't stress enough that the game is ruined - totally, totally destroyed - by the loot system to the point of it being basically unplayable by anyone with a rational mind.

    So that's the reason for the score - it's a highly polished middle finger to the consumer with the sole aim of milking as much cash from you under the pretence of having 'fun'. Trust me; you should avoid this kind of business practice in gaming at all costs - there's hundreds of other games out there more deserving of your time.    … Expand

    Is it pay 2 win with 60$ price? Sure! U will need hours and hours and hours of grind to be somewhat competitive. Or donate ~150$ on top of that 60 that U' ve already paid.
    As for SP campaign, it is ~5 hours long and all plot twists are as predictable as they can be. It is also so repetitive that U can complete Luke mission using only left mouse button and dont pressing any other keys.

    A potential brew of the year was no more.

    P.S. jokes aside, I don't write reviews and registered because this was really outrageous. Making a 60$ price game a "pay to win" with monetization practices from "free to play" mobile games can't be tolerated.
    Do NOT buy this, even if you are a die hard fan of Star Wars. This is an insult to Star Wars, to gamers and to game industry as a whole and should be punished by closed wallet.    … Expand

    It is tough to review a game like this. The reason for the massive difference in critic reviews and user reviews are because critics are rating the gameplay, which is quite good, while users are rating the disgusting microtransactions. That said, I am a user and I want to make sure that EA and any other company that is thinking of pulling anything like this knows that I won't stand for it. 0/10

    Mb this game isn't so bad, as it's score. Mb it critic's score is right. But if you want to play this game, you have to give your ass to EA and allow them **** you several times until your pocket will be empty (and then sell all your own property including your console or/and PC). And only after that you will allow to play this game.

    Microtransactions everywhere! This Fee-to-pay bs does not belong in a full priced game release. Never returned a game so fast. If they take out the scummy insidious system that wants more money after you've already bought the game, then I'll come back.

    Only 11 big maps for Galactic assault which in my opinion is not good. The graphics and the music is there but u need to overcome an oversimplified gameplay with almost no depth, a star card system that is simply, bad and the addition of the campaing is badly executed, the story itself is interesitng, go watch on yt.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Battlefront 2 Electric Boogaloo

    Campaign

    -Writing

    Campaign was a boring lazily written mess that tries to tie the loose knot that’s is the post Return of the Jedi era to the new The Force Awakens era I expected a lot perhaps too much out of the story since it’s writer was the same writer behind the brilliant “Spec Ops: The Line” but writing wise this game is a huge disappointment.

    -Protagonist

    This game tried to implement a new character into the Star Wars timeline by the name of Iden Versio and it FAILED. The inferno squad as a whole is a great addition to the Star Wars timeline but Iden Versio just feels boring. I’m sorry, but the beats you expect her to hit...she hits and it feels like the writing team didn’t spend much time on making her a great character. Disappointed that they sucked the life out of what could’ve been an awesome female role. I don’t blame the actress I blame what she had to work with.

    -Story

    You know recently I replayed Star Wars the force unleashed 2 and I actually had more fun on there than I did with this story. Guys lighten up a bit have fun with the universe a little. So yes Story is once again B O R I N G. I feel that if more time was spent on this campaign it would’ve been better but the short campaign was a disappointment in fact the only short campaign of recent years that I loved was Titanfall 2’s campaign.

    Graphics

    Duh, you know they’re good.

    Gameplay

    Gameplay needs a bit of tweaking because although it has improvements that make it slightly different from Battlefront (2015) (that’s a good thing) it still feels a bit amateurish and lacking in depth. I hope this can be rectified with future updates or in later sequels.

    Multiplayer

    -LOOTBOXES (Stay away from the game until they fix this)

    Ah yes the backbone of this game the reason the majority of players are buying this game. Well it’s disappointing, see I feel like leveling up is a hell of a grind that kind of forces you to buy lootboxes , once again you don’t have to, but leveling up feels somewhat slow so I understand the public’s concern with this game especially in the lootbox department. It’s a thing that no matter how much it’s tweaked it’s built into the pillar of this game, it’s tied directly into the leveling up system. I feel like if they removed any and all star cards from the crates and purely input cosmetic items in there all would be good and dandy but considering how closely it’s tied into the leveling up system it’s going to be a problem until they remove cards, weapons, and anything that will grant the player with advantages from crates.

    -Modes

    Modes are lacking but they’re decent, they’re all basic copies of modes you’ve seen before in games like Battlefield or Call of Duty, the great exception to this is hero vs villains which is great in my opinion.

    -Maps

    Maps are well made from what I can tell but the community has its concerns with a few maps that feel unbalanced in gameplay and I’ll leave that up to the developers to fix.

    Overall

    Overall Battlefront 2 has a monotonous story mode campaign that contains one of the most boring people in the Star Wars galaxy and I wish her drone was the main character instead of her, it looks good and certain sections of it are fun especially the Kylo section. I’d rate campaign a 2/10 such a huge disappointment from what I anticipated to be one of the most well written campaigns in such a long time. Multiplayer has a lack of modes and maps (which will soon get fixed with its free dlc) two stand out modes being “Starfighter Assault” and “Heroes Vs Villains” and the other modes are completely boring. Gunplay feels amateurish. Lootboxes are a problem. Overall for multiplayer I have to rate it a 4/10 I expect better work from Dice considering their fantastic work on the battlefield series.    … 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.
