Presentation
There is a good argument to be made that Star Wars: Squadrons is the best looking game based on the franchise. The fact that much of the action takes place in space may have helped him. But Motive has created a beautiful looking game.
There is an enormous amount of detail throughout the iconic spaceships, cockpits and locations. This brings everything in the game to life, properly immersing you in the world. It’s impressive how good the game looks considering it’s not a full-price version.
The soundtrack is equally outstanding throughout the campaign. Composer Gordy Haab managed to capture the essence of John Williams’ magnificent orchestral soundtrack from the films.
However, it also added its own twist and introduced some new themes. This ensures that the soundtrack feels like an addition to the series rather than simply derivative. In terms of sound design, the effects are all authentic and instantly take you back to classic movies.
Final verdict
Star Wars: Squadrons proves that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order wasn’t just a flash in the pan. The publisher is clearly capable of releasing quality Star Wars games, in a variety of different genres.
The sheer quality of this game should also give fans hope that future releases will be just as impressive. There’s a great story, great multiplayer action, and a superb presentation. Ultimately, this makes Star Wars: Squadrons a must for any Star Wars fan. The game is available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
