    • “The game is well improved, but the story mode is terrible.”
    • “The single player campaign's story makes no sense and is sure to upset anyone who was actually looking forward to playing as a member of the Galactic Empire.”
    • “A spectacular, occasionally very fun tour of Star Wars battles that disappoints with a boring story, a crappy progression system, and endless grenade spam.”

  • graphics

    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    80% positive mentions, 7% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The graphics of the game are widely praised as visually stunning and gorgeous, contributing significantly to the overall experience. While many players appreciate the aesthetic quality, some express concerns that the focus on graphics may overshadow gameplay, with a few noting that the visuals may feel dated in comparison to newer titles. Overall, the graphics are a standout feature, enhancing the game's appeal despite mixed opinions on its gameplay mechanics.

    • “The graphics are amazing, the sounds are phenomenal, the entire game feels pretty good in my opinion.”
    • “Awesome graphics and fun gameplay.”
    • “[The game is beautifully detailed, starfighter assault and galactic assault make you really feel like you're in the Star Wars universe, the campaign story is great, great music, superb graphics.]”
    • “This game is absolutely gorgeous, but EA obviously put no effort beyond the game's aesthetic.”
    • “However, because it came out about 10 years ago, the graphics are a little bad, but they make up for it with an overall fun game.”

  • gameplay

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    31% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising its depth and enjoyable class system, while others criticize the lack of innovation and the presence of frustrating mechanics, such as awkward controls and pay-to-win elements. Many players feel that the game fails to deliver a compelling experience, especially in comparison to its predecessor, leading to disappointment despite its impressive graphics.

    • “This game has the depth of gameplay and enjoyable class system that has kept me playing since I purchased it nightly.”
    • “Way more complex visually, gameplay, and progression-wise than the first Battlefront.”
    • “The game mechanics are silly; crouch and dive are the same button, which gets annoying when switching them around.”
    • “It's Battlefront 1... nothing has changed, nothing new. It's like I paid full price for weak DLC. The character classes are dumb, and their mechanics are even dumber.”
    • “I was extremely disappointed with the gameplay, with no campaign mission at all.”

  • monetization

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

Despite claims of no pay-to-win mechanics, concerns about credit distribution and the impact of in-game purchases on progression remain prevalent among users. Overall, while there are positive steps, the monetization strategy still faces significant scrutiny.

    • “Everyone complaining about pay to win or whatever clearly hasn't even played the game; there's no microtransactions and progression is very easy and straightforward.”
    • “Star Wars Battlefront 2 is a fantastic follow-up to the 2015 title but is ultimately held back from reaching true greatness thanks to its demonic microtransactions.”
    • “Over-reliance on randomized loot drops and microtransactions.”
    • “It seems like this is just another game where they tried to make the game look great graphically, hyped it up for months, got a bunch of people to preorder, just for subpar gameplay and trying to scam people with unbalanced power levels fueled by in-game purchases.”
    • “Also, the credits you earn in a game have nothing to do with how you performed; if you are MVP of the match, you will hardly win any more credits than if you finished last - they did this because the plan was to rely on in-game purchases.”
    • “Overreliance on randomized loot drops and microtransactions.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
