10 Hidden Gem Star Wars Games You Need To Play

5. Bounty Hunter

Bounty Hunter was The Mandalorian before The Mandalorian was The Mandalorian.

Playing as Bounty Hunter Jango Fett, you must employ an impressive array of skills, weapons, and gadgets to bring in your targets dead or alive

Set just before Attack of the Clones, and featuring an impressive performance from Temuera Morrison in the title role, the presentation and atmosphere are beyond reproach.

What prevents Bounty Hunter from being better regarded, however, are its controls. With such a huge arsenal of weapons and gadgets at your disposal, it proves difficult to effectively manage your inventory on the fly, especially when trying to switch weapons mid-battle.

Pulling this off should be smooth, sleek, and cool as carbon freeze, rather than the cumbersome, clunk-fest it is reduced to. An unreliable targeting system means Bounty Hunter is sadly brought low by its own ambitions, but man if there aren't some high points and fun set-pieces, too.
