Jun 5, 2025Star Wars: Bounty Hunter on PS4/PS5 is a loving time capsule. It’s not a modern game in structure or control feel, but for fans of Star Wars lore, especially the prequel trilogy and The Mandalorian-style bounty hunting fantasy, it offers a compelling ride. The upgraded performance makes it the best way to experience the game today, and the budget price makes it a fair pick-up for curious newcomers and nostalgic fans alike.

Jul 31, 2024Star Wars: Bounty Hunter was always a cult favourite but Aspyr’s native port of the classic adventure comes adorned with modernised controls and polished visuals making it a must-play for fans of the original and a fun bit of history for newcomers.

Jul 31, 2024Aspyr Media's port of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is missing a lot of the atmosphere I loved about the original game. The sharpness in the visuals now remove too much, and shine a spotlight on the game's worst angles. At the same time, the modern control scheme improves on the experience so much that the parts of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter that made it a classic are able to shine brighter far more than they ever did - even if the camera is still wreaking havoc most of the time.

Aug 14, 2024While we can commend Aspyr's efforts to modernize Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, it's clear that significant issues persist within the core gameplay mechanics. Visually, the game impresses and delivers a strong dose of nostalgia for Star Wars fans. However, when evaluated on its own merits, without the Star Wars branding, the flaws become much more apparent.

Aug 12, 2024Whilst Aspyr have tried, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is unfortunately too much of a relic to polish up to today’s standards. Jango Fett’s story may be a decent one, but not at the price of retreading mid-ground nostalgia.
