20 Great Games That Still Get Unjustified Hate

20. Star Wars Outlaws

Star Wars Outlaws has suffered the same ridicule as many modern Ubisoft titles, and there are good reasons for it. Aside from people’s fatigue with the generic and repetitive open-world formula that Ubisoft has been peddling for the past decade or so, the game had plenty of issues at launch, and the gameplay loop felt pretty underwhelming.

This said, Star Wars Outlaws differs from other Ubisoft flops in that its creators have actually been putting a lot of effort into addressing the issues the fans have had with the game. Since its release, Outlaws has had its combat and stealth sections completely redesigned. The stealth sections are no longer forced on the player, the combat is more tactical thanks to the addition of enemy weak spots and improved aiming mechanics, and the game feels more immersive thanks to new animations that make NPCs and protagonist Kay move around more, instead of standing still with emotionless expressions.

The creators seem to genuinely listen to community feedback, and while the game may still not be a masterpiece, it’s definitely a lot more enjoyable now and deserves to get a second chance.
