The 20 Worst Games Of 2025

20. Star Wars: Beyond Victory

Star Wars fans have never enjoyed more content than they do at the moment, from TV series, to a new slate of film projects, to an array of video games - many of which have been given the kind of thought and development to make them last years beyond the typically short lifespan of other franchise tie-ins. And the opportunity to actually enter the galaxy far, far away, via VR feels like it has come a long way since the Rogue One X-Wing VR Mission in Battlefront.

Indeed, we now have a list of standalone VR titles from the saga, which allow us to explore hidden corners of the galaxy and well-trodden battles alike. Star Wars: Beyond Victory is more the former, as you step into the shoes of podracer Volo Bolus, under the tutelage of racing legend Sebulba.

The game makes use of both pure VR and MR, depending on the scene, and it looks just as brilliant as you would hope, allowing an up close exploration of expertly animated environments. However. Beyond Victory is painfully short. Even Call of Duty fanboys will be casting this one into the ether, when after an hour and a half of campaign story, it all comes to an end. While it can be (limited) fun to dip back into the arcade mode, there is not nearly enough to justify its existence as a standalone game.
