    Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge takes full advantage of Sony’s PlayStation VR2, breathing new life into the game with updated visuals, awesome haptic feedback, and a story worth remembering.

    Players should expect a slow start to Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge, but will begin to flow better after a couple of hours. Once the pacing picks up, the Star Wars atmosphere, tense gun fights and fun excursions offer an experience that fits PS VR2 like a glove. It's a great game and recommended to owners of the hardware.

    Excellent tracking and tactile controls makes this an easy, swashbuckling adventure to get lost in, even if that’s mostly all it delivers. Far away? Far out. [Issue#25, p.68]

    Whether you love Star Wars or not, Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge is just a damn good VR game. It’s not the longest (at around four hours), and it may not quite have as much “Jedi stuff” as you’d want, but again, it looks stunning, has fantastic feedback throughout, and even if you aren’t au-fait with the universe, you can be impressed by the attention to detail.

    While the story campaign starts quite interesting, it quickly looses a lot of momentum due to lots of boring standard quests, way too many battles which aren’t challenging at all and a general lack of surprises. On the other hand the dungeons and boss battles are fun, the upgrade system is full of possibilities, cross platform progression works well and playing through the campaign at an acceptable speed is totally possible without any micro transactions. The latter however become much more relevant in arena mode.

    If you’ve taken the plunge and picked up a PlayStation VR2 and have any sort of love at all for Star Wars, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge – Enhanced Edition is certainly worth a consideration and a look. (

    Despite the simple shooter passages, the lovingly staged Star Wars stories offer more content than Vader Immortal and have been thoroughly pimped for PSVR2.

    Able to be entirely completed in just a few hours, it's certainly fair to say that Star Wars: Tales From The Galaxy's Edge Enhanced Edition is more of a morsel than a banquet and yet, it still feels compelling because of how lovingly authentic the universe of Star Wars has been replicated here. Though folks who aren't fans of Star Wars won't quite get quite so much from it, Star Wars: Tales From The Galaxy's Edge Enhanced Edition nonetheless earns its keep as an attractive showcase of what PSVR2 can do, all wrapped up in the delectable veneer of a galaxy far, far away.

    With a solid and dependable blaster-led Star Wars adventure as its basis, there's more to Tales from the Galaxy's Edge than initially meets the eye, with the most fun to be had in the side tales picked up in Seezelslak's bar. This has had a big glow up since its original Meta Quest release, but left me wanting something more consistently inventive and truly built for PSVR 2 and higher powered systems. Hopefully we'll get to see that in future.

    Star Wars: Tales from The Galaxy’s Edge – Enhanced Edition allows you to step into the franchise and use a range of iconic weaponry. Fans will love the faithful representation of the world and its inhabitants, however, the uninspiring opening and aging design hinder the experience.

    Tales from the Galaxy's Edge is staged so lively and gets many of its interactions just right ... The actual battles are repetitive shootouts in very straightforward arenas, where rarely anything else happens. You do meet familiar characters in entertaining sequences, but all in all the shooting action is a bit thin and uniform in the long run.

    Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge Enhanced Edition is an excellent way to showcase the best features of a fancy new PlayStation VR2. The first few hours of the story are its Episodes I and II (bad) but then things turn around and immerse us in Star Wars greatness.

    Star Wars fans will love this, but don't expect anything innovative for VR games in this one.

    The game is designed for both Star Wars fans and non-fans, offering standalone stories that also feature connections to the Star Wars universe. The gameplay involves completing various missions, such as infiltrating a First Order base, or rescuing C-3PO and R2-D2. The enhanced edition includes new content and a higher price tag of €50. The game itself is surprisingly fun, but it is a shame that there are still so many bugs almost 3 years after its original launch.

    Although enjoyable, this Star Wars VR games has some good ideas but also many elements that could and should be improved.

    Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge - Enhanced Edition starts out flat but does eventually get a bit better. You’ll need to trudge through a couple of hours of bland shooting galleries to get to the good stuff, though, and even then the title is largely let-down by repetitive encounters and some dated design decisions. The game takes decent advantage of PSVR2’s innovative features, but also underlines its Meta Quest 2 origins at times. And while there’s an unquestionable novelty to existing within George Lucas’ legendary universe, it feels like the license is doing a lot of the lifting for a mostly average adventure.

Great VR interactions with multi-tools, a variety of different blasters with variable resistance and haptics, appearances by Yoda, R2, and Threepio, and of course, Space Darts in the Cantina.

The game isI did enjoy Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge – Enhanced Edition a lot. It has old and new characters and nice stories. The game is about 2-4 hours long, so it isn’t a fully fledged game, but don’t worry, you’ll not be paying a full price either. Like some other games did (looking at you Horizon Call of the Mountain).

    Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge – Enhanced Edition is a good PSVR2 game. Even though it doesn’t give a long playtime it still is enough to be engaged.

    Gameplay is good, especially once you go through the first hour or so.
    What stands out is writing and acting performance - both 10/10.
