    Tiens, on dirait bien le retour des simulateurs de combat spatial… une spécialité du PC dans les années 90 avant que le genre ne disparaisse (faute de combattants… le combat cessa). Or, dans cet âge moderne des consoles, une adaptation visant un certain réalisme ou du moins une certaine « simulation », notamment celle des feu X-Wing ou TIE Fighter semble sur une manette impossible !

Or, dans cet âge moderne des consoles, une adaptation visant un certain réalisme ou du moins une certaine « simulation », notamment celle des feu X-Wing ou TIE Fighter semble sur une manette impossible !

    Et ce n’est pas pour rien que ces jeux sur PC utilisaient au bas mot deux douzaines de touches du clavier ! pourtant, EA Motiv s’est échiné à caser le « principal » des actions possibles mais a surtout très mal pensé » la disposition des commandes : diriger le vaisseau par exemple avec le stick droit ? la vitesse -et le roulis- avec le stick gauche ? c’est une blague ? on passe donc son temps à « rouler » accidentellement ou décélérer/accélérer sans faire exprès…

    On peut certes réattribuer les commandes et tout régler à sa guise mais franchement, ça casse les couilles : pourquoi ne pas avoir choisi dès le début une orientation arcade ? d’autant qu’on peut quand même « réparer » son vaisseau (?!) : pas très réaliste ça…! Mais c’est la confusion ambiante qui règne dans ce « Squadrons » et tout y est très bordélique, les scripts, l’action peu claire, l’interface foirée et surtout la maniabilité complètement nulle à chier !

    La campagne se concentre sur le « spectacle » et se montre de fait très psychorigide ; elle oblige l’alternance entre l’Empire et les Rebelles : encore une idée à la con… Et pour le reste, on sent que ce jeu vise avant tout le multi-joueurs et le grind qui y est associé (EA Worst Company oblige !).

    Même graphiquement, le jeu reste (encore !) confus à jouer et ce malgré un mode « performance » sur Series X qui semble tenir le cap des 60 im/s mais pas toujours… La maniabilité reste détestable, les sensations ironiquement… absentes ! ce jeu est décidément une catastrophe : tout dans l’esbroufe, rien dans le sac.    … Expand

    You take on the roles of two space fighter pilots on both sides of the war. The one in the Stars, you know...Really the story is just an excuse to fly around in a various Rebel and Imperial ships and blow stuff up. There is something about a super weapon and it's pretty cool that Hera from Rebels shows up.
    In between each mission you can talk to your crew and even though some of them are fairly interesting and the voice acting is great, there isn't much that held my interest.

    Spaceship flying has always been a little difficult for me. This game does it really well, but I still found myself spinning around to try and find a target until I was dizzy. There is also a weird distance thing that constantly made things seem too far away until you speed right past them.

    It is a neat idea to play both sides of the conflict. It's not that the game is bad, just not for me.    … Expand

    While a great idea in theory, its execution of a Star Wars space fighter game is terrible.
    There is no grand campaign or custom sandbox or couch co-op. It's a very short linear game.
    The characters are unlikable and certain choices were made with them clearly at the last minute which hurts their development as it feels so unnatural and forced.

    Next time let us make our own character.

    All I needed to do was watch the trailer for the game; I discovered that finding a white man in it was much like playing a game of Where's Waldo. That pretty much tells me everything I need to know about this title: it is made by people who aren't outside of the box thinkers, they are followers that go with the crowd, and they will deliver a sub par game that may be worth playing for a fewAll I needed to do was watch the trailer for the game; I discovered that finding a white man in it was much like playing a game of Where's Waldo. That pretty much tells me everything I need to know about this title: it is made by people who aren't outside of the box thinkers, they are followers that go with the crowd, and they will deliver a sub par game that may be worth playing for a few days at most. Personally, I am not going to give money to any company that thinks that I am evil because of my skin color. And make no mistake, that is the message going around these days. Funny how "inclusive" and "diverse" are euphemisms for everybody but white men. Utter insanity.… Expand

    I am not a fan of multiplayer games. I only played the story mode. And I really liked it. However, it could be better because it needs some polishing at some points, to be honest. Anyways, keep up the good work.

    I want to say it again, I am not a fan of multiplayer games. For example, my main focus on Call of Duty games is the campaign. I played the multiplayer modes for about 10 hours.

That's because I played with my friends. If my friends don't play multiplayer, I'd probably have played around 1-2 hours top. Anyways, I guess you got my point. I am not a multiplayer person. I like campaign.    … Expand

    I love EA Starwars series but this game online queue is too long or impossible.
