STAR WARS: Squadrons

I've logged enough hours in Squadrons to know its core loop is genuinely satisfying: managing power distribution between shields, engines, and weapons while threading the needle through asteroid fields feels tactile and rewarding. The single-player campaign delivers a solid eight-hour story split between New Republic and Empire pilots, with decent narrative hooks. Controller support is stellar, and VR mode is legitimately the best way to experience it if you have the hardware. The catch is brutal: this is a PvP-focused game with a fractured, aging player base. Matchmaking queues stretch, and ranked modes depend on concurrent players. Without a thriving squad system or meaningful progression hooks beyond cosmetics, solo players burn out fast. The flight model has depth, managing power management across five subsystems keeps decision-making sharp, but it's wasted if you're waiting 10 minutes between matches. Pick this up only if you have a wing of friends committed to flying together, or you're willing to replay the campaign and call it a day.
