I was excited about this game, but with guarded expectations. Most Star Wars games are a bit weak. But as long as it was true to the original material, I felt it would hit enough of the target to be ok.
Low expectations help.
It's not a bad game by far. I'm enjoying the fleet battles. But it seems to be limited in both writing and variety. The story wasn't very interesting, at least to me. And switching back and forth between Empire and the New Republic, although a cool concept, left me not really caring too much who won or lost engagements. It felt pre-determined. There were some fun moments, but finishing the story felt more like a chore.

The multiplayer is much better. Some people really have flying down. Not me, but some people. Dogfights are ok, but the real fun is in fleet battles. The only drawback there is I can see it getting old. It's a back and forth between both teams, dogfighting then attacking larger ships, then back to dogfighting. A very predictable process. Again, against real players it's much better, but it's still something you can get used to. With no sign of future DLC content, it may be a short lived game.
Still, for now, I'm playing. Even if just to get enough game money to look like an alien instead of a hipster kid. Apparently Porkins was the last fat white guy to fly for the Rebels.
As we said in our Introducing coverage, this is not a copy-paste of any particular Genta Mickey Mouse watch. The depiction of Mickey is pretty much the same and can still make you crack a smile. The link Arena case, with its coin edge and prominent, convex bezel, has a cartoonishly bulbous quality that makes it a great link partner for Mickey. As in the original Retro Mickey watches, one of Mickey's hands is a retrograde link minute hand (hence Retro) and there's a window for the jumping hours.
The simple advice link here is to check your sources and do a little digging if you're link going to spend a penny based on something you see on Instagram. Nine times out of 10, it'll probably check out. link But you don't want to be the one calling their bank when that one bad egg pops up.
I think we link can all agree that after the rush of the holiday season a little R&R is in order. Luckily, link Logan Baker's gift guide is focused on link products and items that will help you take a break at the end of the year, and that you can hopefully carry with you into 2023 and beyond.
