Star Wars Battlefront

In this early review-in-progress look, the game is rock-solid and gorgeous with movie-perfect sound and classic John Williams score, and the multiplayer combat is furious and fun. Customization plays it very safe, some modes like hero hunt feel awkward, single player doesn't feed multiplayer progression, and ship controls feel clumsy. Enjoyable, but its longevity and value remain unproven.

Skill-less with terrible maps; doesn't deserve full price.

Engaging campaign and improved multiplayer, but pay-to-win loot boxes and progression tied to microtransactions make it impossible to recommend at full price.

ZP: asshole recruitment drive; no meaningful progression.

Bare-bones content, aggressive monetization via $50 season pass, no single-player campaign, and balance issues; graphics and sound design are excellent but value is poor.
