    The game is as faithful an adaption to the star wars legacy as any other and the visual aspects of the game are still top notch. Multiplayer wise, the game is a blast IMO. Now is this a title that is going to hook you? Probably not, however it is a serviceable title with FREE updates that are still going as well as a fun multiplayer component that you can breezily hop in and out of.

    That's the real problem though for me, there is no hook here other than the faithfulness to the star wars universe. I had hoped the story mode would be engaging, but it is anything but that offering a bland adventure that finds you hopping from one shooting gallery to the next.

    Overall, Battlefront 2 isn't the hit EA was surely hoping for however it is still a fun time with barely enough content to pass the time and enough fixes to not call it a complete and utter failure...    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When the game was launched in 2017, it was an empty shell of blatant and obvious money grabs by EA and DICE to use the Star Wars name to get a quick buck. But, after nearly two years of updates and listening to its players, this game has become the best Star Wars game on the market at the moment. It provides a massive online multiplayer experience that has had its progression system completely redone to that it is not pay to win, but rather play to win. Also it has an offline campaign that’s is cool too so.… Expand

    The company in the game is not required at all and is only needed to get acquainted with the many abilities of the game + a couple of heroes + a couple of space fighters. The story itself is extremely secondary and boring. It was especially humiliating to play as Luke Skywalker, who just cut down bugs, it's ridiculous.

    The arcade mode is downright dull, including the scenario, which is just for practice for multiplayer. The multiplayer is a little better, but looking at the general situation with class customization, one thing can be understood - the community lost, although it naively thought that it won. There are very few modes active online, there is an imbalance between the forces of Darkness and Light in favor of Darkness, there are few cards, and there is very little variety and tactics in battles. Microtransactions have not been removed from the game, there are two currencies, and cosmetics are not imported + there are no new updates and game support is at a minimum level.

    This is not a loss for EA, it is a loss for the community. Although I played for a couple of weeks, I'm fine. For once. Glory to Ukraine!    … Expand

    Right now in 2021 we can say that it is the best Star Wars game. Its multiplayer is fun and it always makes us with my friends cheer as we were 10 year olds back in the days. I personally liked the story and the resurrection dlc too. Hectic and looks amazing, nothing brave but it is very enjoyable, which is the most important thing. I'm so glad it has a renaissance and that we are part of it.

You can level up and learn the basics in this mode really well - it’s still multiplayer but only 4vs4 with the rest c- the rest of the teams are made up of AI bots so you can actually rack up kills and level up too.

    On note surtout du fan service de bas étage avec nombre de figures jouables du folklore des Star Vases, insérées ici et là dans une campagne qui a pour personnage principal une soldate d’élite de l’Empire malfaisant, une soldate à sale gueule aussi sexy qu’une gardienne de prison parce que les nanas dans les jeux vidéo depuis quelques années, c’est plus ça qu’est ça (comme l’exige la doctrine SJW me too etc).

    Bien entendu et à l’instar des films de chez Disniais, elle va trahir l’Empire et passer du côté des gentils rebelles (pauvres réfugiés blablabla, c’est trop horrible cet Empire du mal trop méchant, espèce de Trump, va !). Oh putain, le spoil que j’ai fait, meeeerde…

    On peut jouer en première ou troisième personne avec des « capacités spéciales » directement héritées du multi à kévins : c’est de fait bien naze ou au mieux anecdotique… ce n’est qu’un gros couloir scripté de toute façon, rapidement chiant comme la pluie qui ferait passer les vieux Halo périmenazes à pious-pious pour des modèles d’action et d’ultra-violence…

De toute manière, qu’est-ce qu’on se fait chier là-dedans ! et ce malgré des séquences de combat spatial au demeurant mal configurées (le stick droit pour déplacer le vaisseau ? hein, que, quoi ?!).

    Il y a néanmoins un bon point dans tout ce dépotoir à micro-transactions : c’est vraiment très beau et ça tourne plutôt à 60 im/s. Enfin, presque. Mais c’est très beau, cet économiseur d’écran, c’est clair !    … Expand

    I'm reviewing this in 2021 on the Series X.

    Pros - Graphics and Star Wars look and feel is fantastic. I can't emphasize how good the intro sequences are when you are blasting rebels in corridors - it feels like you're exactly in the original trilogy. - The sounds of Star Wars is spot on. Voice acting is very good. - The campaign feels like it's very high quality - Smooth 60 fps    I'm reviewing this in 2021 on the Series X.

    Pros
    - Graphics and Star Wars look and feel is fantastic. I can't emphasize how good the intro sequences are when you are blasting rebels in corridors - it feels like you're exactly in the original trilogy.
    - The sounds of Star Wars is spot on. Voice acting is very good.
    - The campaign feels like it's very high quality
    - Smooth 60 fps gameplay

    Cons:
    - Shooting is not very accessible on console. The reticle is basically a dot, which unless you are very good at the controller, you will end up missing a lot of shots by a hair, even with "aim assist turned on". Every shooter should use Halo controls with big reticles - I don't know why games like this or GTA5 use the smallest dots for as it's bad for people with poor vision as well.

    - Restarting a level after dying has a 5-second delay in single-player, which got really annoying in some hard sequences in the campaign. It keeps asking you to change your cards and weapon loadouts every **** time.

    - Strafing is extremely slow, even if you're not crouching. I have no idea how to dodge in this game at all. Not a clue.

    - You are often vastly outnumbered in the campaign. In a corridor, this is fine because you can funnel enemies in a choke point, but in a forest it kind of sucks because they just surround you and your AI teammates do nothing to cover you.

    - Levels are not built for exploration honestly. There's a lot of dead-ends that are only there for enemies to come out. This makes levels very linear, but you waste a lot of time checking out these alternative paths and they all lead to nothing but dead-ends. In the more open areas, exploring too far off the beaten path just threatens to kill you in 10 seconds. Wonderful EA. Just Wonderful.

    I can't even comment on the microtransactions - I haven't even tried multiplayer - but the single-player campaign feels compromised by the multiplayer aspects of the game.    … Expand

Nearly all the problems that came with launch are gone, loot boxes are gone and replaced with a progression system and this all takes place in beautiful enviroments that are all easily recognisable from the films, best lightsabre fights you will find anywhere when two good players face off.

    The battle points system sounds good but its only good for the above average players who manage to get enough points and use them properly. If you are bad you will never get one, and if you get you will die fast with if because... well, you are bad...
    Also on the first pvp matches you will notice being killed by people with 3 top cards while you have we'll... zero. This system is a disgrace for online gaming, should be like Overwatch were all players can get all heroes and the only diference is the player's ability.
    Couldn't pass the second map of the campaign (space fight) because i suck at piloting the ships with a controller to the point i barely kill one or two enemy ships till the time runs off. So i can't talk about the campaign.

The game launched with micro-transactions, pay-walls, bugs, and a general disregard for the player, focusing instead on maximizing profits. At launch this game represented the height of industry greed, which is clearly reflected in the user reviews. Now, in 2020, the game has become the example, which all other developers should follow, of how to make things right with the gaming customer. The micro-transaction/ Loot box system is gone from the game in any meaningful way. It used to be that you were required to farm loot boxes to unlock ability cards to make your characters competitive in multiplayer but now all ability cards are unlocked simply by progression with a healthy, not too lengthy, grind to level up each class and hero. It feels like after a short investment of time you can compete with any class/hero/vehicle simply by playing the game rather than by investing real money to buy loot boxes that could potentially give you a chance to earn the cards you wanted to play with. Real money purchases now are only really used to help buy certain skins for troopers and heroes, but keep in mind that these skins can be earned without any purchase simply by achieving in-game milestones to earn credits. The game itself is a large scale battle to capture various objectives or prevent the opposing team from doing so. 2 teams of up to 20 people fight it out using a selection of customizable standard troopers and earn battle points for kills, assists, buffs, and objective play. Once you earn enough battle points, you can cash them in to upgrade yourself to a more capable 'reinforcement' trooper or play as one of the iconic Star Wars heroes. Combat is usually played out in a third person perspective, or optionally a first person view, and feels tight and precise, for the most part. There are large scale battle modes, as mentioned, small player vs. player battle modes, star fighter play modes and hero battle modes. Each of the modes has a different feel, with the main modes feeling close to the Battlefield franchise, the star fighter modes feeling like an excellent space fighter simulation and the heroes vs villains mode feeling like a hectic game of Super Smash Bros. There are other less popular modes including excellent co-op scenarios, a hero showdown/duel mode which has a competitive fighting game vibe, and some fun distraction modes for variety; all of which have different feels and allow the player of ton of variety all within the same game. Visually, the game is absolutely beautiful, start this up on your system and I promise you that you'll be impressed with everything you see. One of the best things that has come out of the public shaming at launch, is a clear desire, from the developers, to make things right. The game has received multiple content updates since launch and has clear game plan for more content through 2020, meaning that there will be new features and gameplay to keep players excited for some time. The best part of he content updates is that everything is free, and many of these new maps, troopers and heroes would have taken substantial resources to create; I'm honestly shocked that they are releasing new content, for free, this far after launch. My gripes with the game are few; there are a few occasionally buggy moments that can bring minor frustrations, some balance issues in the Heroes vs Villains mode, including some pretty nasty stun-locking that can leave you feeling a little demoralized but mainly problems just arise from poor team play and bad tactics. I have confidence that the active development team are still working away to remedy any issues with the game and make an enjoyable experience for the community.

    In Summary: disregard all the launch reviews. This game has grown to become one of the best multiplayer shooter experiences available today. There has been a ton of post-launch content with lots more still to come by an active development team. There is so much to do in-game that you can expect hours and hours of enjoyment from very little financial investment. Now that the game is 2 years old, the price has dropped significantly and provides incredible value. Get it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A Comeback worth noting.
    At launch, this game was nothing more than disappointing and even more pay to win than the first game.
    I think it took somewhere near 4500 hours of grinding or 2100$ to unlock everything in the game.Thankfully, EA removed it and now you get every Hero when playing the game.
    The progression system with that was awful, EA removed it. EA even managed to not reward players when buying loot boxes because everything you were getting was crap.Even the editions were pay to win. Thankfully EA removed everything and redeemed themselves after many updates.
    The Campaign is not great because after the second mission your character realizes that the Empire is evil and becomes Leia Organas Personal Bodyguard. So basically, they lied to us in the trailers because only the gameplay from the perspective of the Empire was shown.
    The Gameplay is better than in Battlefront 1 and every mode is fun with friends.
    The Graphics set an impressive standard for Battlefront lll and are really good for a 2017 game.
    This Game is 20 Bucks now and It is worth it.    … Expand

    Star Wars: Battlefront II's campaign is a story starring a brand new character set immediately after the plot of Return of the Jedi. It has beautiful graphics and decent gameplay... but that's about it.

    Not as bad as when it was released. The multiplayer is decent but still could do with improvements. The campaign is pretty boring and i didn't even bother to finish it. Still could do with more content and tie-ins to the shows and movies. Too bad the damage is already done and this game is already forgotten by a lot of people because of the launch disaster.

    Dużo bugów, grafika jak z Obliviona (Oblivion jest z 2008) fabuła nie najgorsza, ale wracając do bugów. Ostatnio gdy sobie grałem nagle moja postać zaczęła latać i nie mogłem ukończyć misji, drugi bug czyli przyspieszony czas (albo coś było z moją konsolą). Nie polecam kupować tej gry w takiej cenie. Lepiej ściągnąć cracka za darmo.

    While the game was a micro-transaction haven at launch, Dice have done a pretty decent job at fixing it. The game play is still fun and Resurrection is short but sweet. I would say it is worth picking up.

    I'm not a multiplayer person by any means. So the loot box grind walls never was a firm detractor for me. However, while the story of Iden versio is a fun one. To many of the levels are devoted to legacy characters as a excuse to try out heros. The length was also a point of concern but story based DLC released for free so its the length of a standard FPS now. Just be sure to download theI'm not a multiplayer person by any means.

    Yes, it had a bad start, and yes, EA loves to cash grab, but the gameplay is actually pretty good. The OG Star Wars: Battlefronts from 2003 and 2005 are better, but it's still a pretty good game, and we should appreciate how much effort they put in to make it a better game.

    The game is good despite the unsuccessful release. I've been playing it since launch. at first I would give it 2 out of 10, but now it is already 8 out of 10. the game has great graphics and control. For those who are considering buying, I say: I recommend.The campaign was a little short, but it does not change the fact that it is still a good game

It is so fun now and I have put well over a 100 hours in this game. Galactic Assault, conquest and heroes vs villains are the best game modes in the game and its what I put my hours into. As a massive fan of Star Wars, this is a dream come true. You can play all your favorite characters in star wars and use the variety of different blasters and vehicles to defeat your opponents. Boba Fett is my favorite villain just because of the fact that it pisses so many people off. The amount of salt they accumulate in the messages they send to me is so funny and I would definitely recommend a try of Boba Fett. My favorite class is assault along with the specialist at times depending on the map (hoth and crait are the perfect maps to snipe people) which are just so fun to play. Star Wars Battlefront II can be describe as the star wars version of battlefield and I absolutely adore it. Overall, definitely worth a buy.… Expand

    Pretty good campaign, although predictable and tiresome and pretty cringe at times. Really good multiplayer though, with lovely graphics and sound. But it is a bit too difficult and competitive online. So, as a casual player, prepare to get frustrated. But that seems the norm for online games today.

    Before I bought this game, I thought it was gonna be good. But this EA, they'll always find a way to freak it up. And they did.

    In other EA games like Battlefield, you have a progression system. In Battlefront II, you buy upgrades that instantly make you good at the game. They said that is you used real money, you could get gameplay advantages. You can instantly win a game with upgrades, but if you don't buy them, a bunch of bozos are gonna kill you.
    freak up 3) controls
    If you play a ship on keyboard and mouse, it's an absolute nightmare. One thing that you can do is keyboard and mouse on floor, controller in a starship
    Honestly, I don't despise this game. But since it's EA, aka the worst company in America, it's always a bad game

    Has improved, but is still mediocre at best. I don't like how matches feel; the smaller matches like Blast are cool but bare-bones, and the bigger ones like conquest are my least favorite; you run for five minutes to where the battle is and immediately die to a ship or sniper or hero across the map, repeating for 20 mins. The campaign is good though.

    Though you may see this game flooded with bad reviews, most are from the initial release, which in all honesty, was terrible. However, since the release, many of the issues have been resolved and the game is now pretty solid despite the fact that EA has cut support on it. Overall a good game.

    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.
