    Игре по портили оценку из-за лутбоксов. К счастью разработчики и справились выпилили их из игры. Всем советую

    I know this game came out nearly three years ago, but this game has been approved upon. The graphics are solid, the gameplay makes you grind yes but it's worth it. Has pretty much every Star Wars character you think of, it WAS at least on sale for only 10 dollars on PSN recently and has a decent campaign mode.

    Had one of the worst launches in history, plagued with loot boxes and not nearly enough content, but then Dice managed to redeem it by remaking the whole progression system, getting rid of loot boxes, and adding a ton of free content. The graphics were always really nice and the maps look amazing but the campaign isn't really good. If you're a Star Wars fan I would recommend it.

    So much fun. I'd recommend fans to try this game out again and it's so much better. All the microtransactions are gone completely and the modes are so much fun. The single player campaign isn't that great though. Iden's turn to the Rebellion was disappointing at best and rushed at worst. Aside from that though, this game is great and so much fun.

    For a ps4 game the graphics are breathtaking. The campaign was enjoyable and the multiplayer is fun with lots of modes to choose from. My issue with multiplayer though is that matchmaking is uneven. I consistently match against players around level 400-980 even though I'm under 10 with the characters. Playing people with maxed out character abilities makes it a lot harder to win the fights.

    I came into this game in early 2023 so my experience included no microtransactions, no lootboxes, or really any kind of dirty tricks (at least from what I've experienced). I realize I came into the game experience after EA and DICE had corrected mistakes and made the experience much more enjoyable for the player.

I realize I came into the game experience after EA and DICE had corrected mistakes and made the experience much more enjoyable for the player.

    Since I wasn't jaded by from launch, I came into this game really with a neutral perspective; a star wars fan that loved the original Battlefront II and wanted to experience something like it but technically superior. Fortunately, I got just that: a technically superior Battlefront 2 with more features and things to do.

    That's not to say I don't have a few complaints (which I'll get into in a bit) but from my experience with the game, the good far outweighed the bad and I've loved playing this game in several different modes. It did take some time to adjust to slightly different controls and character-specific abilities but once I did through the main story and battle scenarios, I felt prepared enough to enjoy the general game modes.

    The story/main campaign I felt was pretty solid. I see where some criticisms come from of the story being thinly-written and skeletal in its approach. I think the criticisms of the story being terrible are not fair however. I grew to like all the characters and felt the ending was quite epic in every way. I just think Iden's character arc could've been a bit more fleshed out in the middle for her story to have a better impact. The structure for a great story was absolutely there but it ended up being just good. Better development could've made it truly great.

    My main complaints on the game had to do with a couple of performance issues that I experienced in the main story. On the Luke Skywalker mission I spawned in and fell right through the map. Didn't even do anything just fell right through into oblivion until I restarted the mission. On the royalty mission, when I eliminated the storm troppers they all started just floating around like they were in space and when you're eliminating that many troopers, it just looks hilarious seeing a hundred dead troopers just floating like balloons on Naboo. Fortunately, I never experienced anything like this again and still haven't. I've seen some frame-rate dips here and there but generally the performance is great despite those 2 awful experiences.

    Besides the couple of technical issues and the story not being as fleshed out as I wanted, I've had a lot of fun with the game and it's been exactly what I wanted. If some of these user reviewers were intellectually honest and wanted to review bomb a game to get EA to change, they would acknowledge the course correction and change their review to actually reflect the game's current quality instead of just blindly wage a hate war on EA. The game is great and deserves a lot more love now and props to DICE and EA for fixing the old mistakes and making a better game.    … Expand

    EA is ruining all of my favorite franchises. This example of detestable business practices is a preview of what Anthem will be, what the next Dragon Age will be, and what the next Titanfall will be.

At this point, I'll pick the game when it's free or I'll buy it after ALL the microtransactions will be removed. You should do that as well.

    Please do NOT buy this game. Before 2017, only a handful of games that weren't free-to-play came out with gambling boxes and those were mostly cosmetic (with a few shameful exceptions like Dead Space 3). Now almost every game from a "AAA" publisher has them and they are getting more and more predatory. This game has the worst possible implementation we've seen to date.

    Star Wars: PAYMENTFRONT II was an instant refund for me. EA's practice has been downright shocking - I will never buy another EA game, and I will not buy any game that has microtransactions in. These practices are not okay. If I spend £40 on a brand new game, I expect it to be completed, and not trying to extort more of my hard earned cash out of me.

    To earn all base content of a game that you already bought for 60$ - players have to spend eather 4528 hours or 2100$. Seriously? We have to stop that carnaval of greed now, or all other games will copy such methods.
    Never gonna buy any EA projects in future. Such greed is unforgivable.

    I can’t recommend this game to anyone in the current state. To feel constrained by a freemium progression system in a full retail game is ridiculous. If the campaign was a thorough and meaningful experience maybe some of the online elements could be slightly forgiven, but this is not the case.

    Enough is enough. Cut the micro-transaction, loot box, and pay-to-win crap. If CD Projekt Red can create arguably one of the greatest games of all time (Witcher 3) with 1/4 of the assets that EA has, there is no excuse for this crap attempt at a sub-par game to try and weasel as much money as you can from your consumers. I hope now EA is realizing we aren't a bunch of lemmings.

    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.
