- Star Wars: Squadrons has its heart in the right place and a comprehensive, in-depth set of flight mechanics go a long way towards realising that childhood dream of piloting an X-Wing. It achieves the vision in some ways, but in others, the package lacks excitement and content. While excellent PSVR support will be enough for some, a boring story and inadequate multiplayer modes leave a lot to be desired.
Liam Croft · May 26, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Star Wars: Squadrons is a wonderful entry in EA’s use of the license. It took long enough to get a proper dogfighting game, but the one they deliver should appease fans. The campaign is short, but sweet. The online is a blast with friends, and I hope it continues to flourish with players for a long time.
Ken McKown · Oct 27, 2020 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - At its most basic level, Star Wars: Squadrons is a solid title with great gameplay and presentation. Its reduced price and limited scope are a good value proposition, but I'd love to see some more content down the line. If you own a VR headset, Squadrons is an amazing experience and almost a must-have title, although it still has some things to iron out to become as good as it strives to be.
Andreas Salmen · Oct 26, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Star Wars: Squadrons is an interesting take on the aerial shooter genre with a decent story and immersive VR. While it does have some flaws in terms of the multiplayer and story I feel as if the single player gameplay and the controls make up for it and can provide a fun experience.
Matthew Dubin · Oct 21, 2020 Reviewed on PC, PS4, XB1Read full review - The shorter campaign and lack of game modes in multiplayer can even be excused somewhat by the lower price of the game. Especially when Star Wars: Squadrons still manages to offer hours of fun, making it a must-play for any Star Wars fan.
Nathan Gibson · Oct 20, 2020 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Star Wars: Squadrons is actually a very interesting and decent Star Wars experience that has a lot of features under its hood. You can play the PC and PS4 versions in VR, you have full HOTAS support and the multiplayer mode allows for a lot of replay value. Nonetheless, some areas still remain quite shallow and a bit bleak as to how the game could have been. That being said, this is a proper Star Wars experience for the fans and lovers of arcade-ish space combat games that have a fair amount of rewards for those who like to grind.
Ibuki · Oct 20, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Star Wars: Squadrons provides a well-grounded, in-depth gameplay that hardcore fans and flight-simulator veterans will definitely appreciate. It may not have the strongest story in a Star Wars game, but it does wonders in space combat and gameplay, this is where Star Wars: Squadrons gets it right.
Lexuzze Tablante · Oct 13, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Star Wars Squadrons is nothing if not an authentic experience. It’s goal is to put you in the cockpit of a starfighter in the Star Wars universe, and to that end it succeeds admirably. An uninspired story serves as training for Fleet Battles, an epic multiplayer experience that recreates the best of Star Wars space combat in ways that no other games have.
Chandler Wood · Oct 13, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Nearly forty years spent fantasizing of piloting Republic fighters against Imperial forces has been so beautifully realized by Motive’s efforts. The campaign has a few bothersome technical missteps but playing the game with friends online, watching them engage targets in the middle of an assault on a Star Destroyer has brought life to my inner child.
Allen · Oct 12, 2020 Reviewed on PS4 - Sure, it has shortcomings in the single-player and it may not be as "hardcore" of a simulator as some were hoping for, but what Motive has delivered here is more than just a strong foundation. I genuinely hope they build off of it moving forward, either with updates or sequels, because it's hard not to love everything they've built.
