Star Wars Battlefront 2 Review: 5 Ups & 5 Downs

3. The PS4 Version Runs Horribly

Since launch, original PS4 owners have been reporting horrendous technical issues. During the campaign, cut-scenes may lag and judder, and multiplayer gameplay is full of stuttering, which is especially infuriating considering the precision required while playing online.

Given that this wasn't a problem at all in the beta, it's particularly frustrating, and EA desperately needs to get a patch released to remedy it, because at present, it's hard to recommend playing the PS4 version unless you're prepared to put up with frequently dying when you probably didn't deserve to.

That a purportedly "AAA" game can release in such shoddy form should be considered an embarrassment for all involved.
