10 Video Games Star Wars Fans Need To Play

8. Star Wars Battlefront II (2017)

Star Wars Battlefront II is not a bad game. Granted it doesn't bring the glee that Pandemic Studio's series did back in the early 2000's, but what the game generates in terms of feeling like you're actually in an epic space battle is unmatched. Throwing your lightsaber at people as Darth Vader is pretty damn awesome too.

While EA have seemingly done their best to destroy everything that surrounds Battlefront II by changing their minds from week to week about the micro-transaction system, Disney of all people seem to have finally taken hold of their flailing leash. Despite this, DICE have beautifully recreated environments of the Star Wars world with the palaces of Theed and the arid cantinas of Mos Eisley.

Yes, the game does have balancing issues and buggy elements (Palpatine's lightning going through walls working as intended), but the more simplified class based set up modified from the Battlefield series allows the more casual players to mix it up, while letting the experienced and more hardcore player kit themselves out with builds and star cards that play more tactically.

Plus, you can play as Childish Gambino.
