Videogames based on movies often get a bad rap, but those based on the Star Wars universe have largely bucked the trend. Fans are spoiled for choice—there’s a wide selection of excellent titles across a number of genres. Here are the 25 best Star Wars games from the last two decades, as rated by the critics (and our unique Metascore).
Note: For the purposes of this list, we excluded Star Wars pinball titles and games with fewer than seven reviews. (And if a game was released on more than one platform, we included the version that received the largest number of reviews from critics.)
(tied for #12) In this first- and third-person shooter, you control a student of Jedi instructor Kyle Katarn tasked with investigating a Sith cult draining energy from Jedi temples. The game has two endings, depending on which side of the force you embrace.
“As a first person shooter, Jedi Academy excels,” notes PC Arena. “It is a Star Wars title with an engrossing single player experience, even holding true to the expanded Star Wars universe.”
