Star Wars Outlaws Director Admits Review Score Disappointment

Star Wars Outlaws launched last week, but it has already received criticism from casual and die-hard fans. The scores from critics are incredibly varied, with some giving it high praise while others provided plenty of reasons to dislike it. Currently, the Metacritic score stands at 76 for Star Wars Outlaws. Star Wars Outlaws Director Julian Gerighty spoke with GamesRadar, and shared his thoughts and feelings on how the audience has received the game. "I'm a little disappointed with the Metacritic. Of course, recognition from press and critics is very important to us, but players are really connecting with what we did."

However, it seems that the vast majority of the criticism the game has received is warranted. Those who purchased the early access version of the game had to start their file from the very beginning or had their fair share of game-breaking bugs. Although the Star Wars Outlaws Director admitted that he wasn't too impressed by the score it received, he is still hopeful for the overall presence of the game, saying: "This will be a game that millions of people are going to play for years and years, and we're never going to stop improving it."

Although Star Wars Outlaws scored 76, that isn't necessarily bad news. It's still considered a good score. It's clear that Gerighty had high hopes for this game and expected a higher score overall from the critics. However, that isn't the only issue for Ubisoft, the game's publisher. After the launch of Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft shared that they have hit a 10-year low. This doesn't spell good things for Ubisoft, as this game has the biggest marketing campaign in the company's history. Although Star Wars Outlaws has a vast amount of responsibility in this, they also were behind Skull and Bones and XDefiant, which didn't last very long for the players.
