    After deleting Loot boxes and perfect support of this game I can say that is the best multiplayer experience for me.

We got a better progressive system, 20 heroes with 2 on the way in January, new skins, reinforcements, gamemodes, maps and a whole lot of game fixes and Quality of Life Changes. While I understand that maybe not everyone will come back to this game after everything EA and DICE has done, DICE has helped made the game improved more and it’s so much fun to play so definitely anyone who hasn’t bought the game or hasn’t touched it, pls do give it a try and see how you feel about it now.    … Expand

This game inspired me to have a full blown 2 month long Star Wars phase and I think that’s special. It’s any Star Wars fans dream and the gameplay is intoxicating.

    Ignore the negative scores. They were posted before EA fixed the loot box issues.

    The single player campaign is a really gripping and a step away from your usual "single player add-on" to a multiplayer game.

    The multiplayer is ok. Similar to Battlefront one but they've added classes and removed the bonus pick-ups (you know use your score to choose pick-ups). The modes are pretty much as you expect, conquest type, rush type, team death match and spaceship battles..

    All in all it's a fun game, especially if you can pick it up on sale.    … Expand

    The game has a wonderful campaign with amazingly fun gameplay, alongside outstanding graphics, and sound effects. EA is also fixing the lootcrates and pay too win, so I will not hate on the game for EA's unfair systems.

    Short

    A really fun game that any Starwars fan will get enjoyment from. The progression system does hurt the game but not to the lengths that most say (sorry reddit). It ends up being a much better and fuller game then the original.    … Expand

    It's Starwars enough said, oh and those lootboxes well you don't have to use them. The first game was limited to online only, but Battlefront2 has a campaign that you can play offline. With lots of characters to unlock and maps to explore, Starwars Battlefront 2 is huge fun for anybody especially if they're a Starwars fan.

    Solid shooter and really fun game. Don't let reviews throwing salt simply because of micros throw you off. I have had nothing but fun in this game and the single player story wasn't exactly amazing, but solid as well. If you are a Star Wars fan you will have lots of fun with this game. This is a gem of a game many will miss out on.

Beautiful, fun, great sound, it's faithful to the spirit of Star Wars without being so stodgy you can't have Rey vs. Darth Maul.

    This game is pretty fun. I'm mostly an offline gamer and the story mode is terrific. I even delved into some mulitiplayer online and had a fun time w/ that as well. Great graphics, much improved from the first title. Me and the family having a lot of fun w/ this game.

    Take note : My above impressions are for the game review not how a company does business.

    The lootboxes are being fixed.

    Its a perfect SW game that understands the most important thing about SW : lore.
    The maps are source-book perfect (with minor alterations for gameplay)
    The balsters feel great

    the only issue is cross-era gameplay

    What many dont understand is that :
    Chars are FREE you cant buy them.
    No season pass.

    If you put aside the horrendous wailing about lootboxes from the fanboys what you'll find is a competent feature rich game packed with a strong campaign, excellent multiplayer (which at the time of writing is still going strong) and tons of unlockables. There's still no better way to scratch your Star Wars itch.

    Once all the pay-to-win things were taken out, this game became amazing. The graphics are stunning, the campaign, while sort, is fun, and the multiplayer is great. The progression system lacks a bit, but it is much better than the 2015 battlefront.

    Battlefront II is fan service and little else; much respect to the craft, the attention to detail and the wealth of content, but sadly it just isn't enough. It's starting to feel as if Star Wars simply isn't a franchise suitable for this type of sprawling, large-scale multiplayer experience. It doesn't have it in its bones, and if DICE can't find a way to make it work, we're fearful nobody can. [Issue#195, p.72]

    Star Wars: Battlefront 2 will go down as one of the biggest screw ups in video game history. EA and DICE had the easiest job in the world and completely ruined it with the absolutely ridiculous and downright unacceptable progression system for multiplayer. Combine that with the incredibly boring, lazy, and cliche story campaign and you easily have the biggest disappointment of 2017.
