Star Wars Outlaws is my biggest gaming surprise of the year — the under fire franchise needed this

A certain galaxy, far, far away hasn’t been on the best of rolls, of late. Just look at Disney pulling the plug on “The Acolyte” after only one season. On the gaming front, things have been more successful. Yet while Star Wars: Jedi Survivor is great on consoles, it’s still a stuttering mess on the best gaming laptops well over a year after its release. As a PC gamer first and foremost, that makes me grumpier than Anakin being forced to go skinny dipping on Mustafar. 

So thank the Sith I’ve finally found a new reason to love the most iconic sci-fi franchise ever again. Star Wars Outlaws is the game I’ve been dreaming of playing ever since I watched Han Solo bragging about being able to do the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs in George Lucus’ seminal 1977 landmark piece of cinema.
