Star Wars: Squadrons
Star Wars is a franchise that features a lot of space battles and starships. And as you might expect, that means a lot of Star Wars games are all about spaceships fighting each other. EA Motive’sSquadrons is the latest and best-looking attempt at this kind of Star Wars game, letting you jump into the cockpit of iconic Star Wars ships, including X-Wings and TIE Fighters.
While it might not (yet) be a bona fide classic like some other, older Star Wars space combat games, Squadrons is still a blast and features tight flight controls and just enough simulation to make it feel like more than an arcade-y spin-off. Its narrative is strong too, even if it once again relies on the ol’ “Imperial becomes a good guy” trope that so much modern Star Wars relies on. Oh, and you can play the game in VR if you have a suitable headset and a stomach for that kind of stuff.
