Star Wars Battlefront 2 is calling. It's been a week since I jumped into EA's Darth Vader-level redemption arc, and yesterday I found myself daydreaming of my next Separatist match while frying burgers. It's, er, a little hard to put down.
But unlike my usual multiplayer haunts, I'm spending most of my time in Star Wars Battlefront 2 fighting the game's AI with pals. Though it started as a quick offline session to get up-to-speed with the controls, nipping into a co-op scrap became routine as soon as we realized Battlefront 2's PvE element does not mess around. That's right: in the year of our lord 2025, there's a shooter with AI worth fighting – and it's taking me right back to the bygone PS2 days of offline skirmish modes.
