I've never played Star Wars and don't plan to. I finished this game only because Epic Games gave it away for free.
This project is not a full-fledged game in the Star Wars universe, but a branch in which we have to control a space fighter and shoot down hordes of enemies, from both factions. (Imperials and Rebels of the "New Republic"). This is quite an interesting feature that allows you, in the process, to choose the group that you like.
This creation is suitable for those who are tired of hardcore shooters and RPGs with a lot of possibilities, and just want to relax a little in outer space, lazily shooting down stupid opponents. Personally, I associate it with a break from “real” games, and don’t think, I don’t want to insult it, on the contrary, to praise it. I was so tired of going through all sorts of RPGs where the main plot alone takes 35 hours, and I was incredibly happy to fly around for a couple of evenings and bomb everything that moves.
The story here isn't exactly mediocre, but it's not particularly interesting to follow. Everything is clear: the imperials are the guards of the dictatorial regime, and the rebels want to free themselves from this regime. There are a couple of cool twists in the plot.
The game has rich graphics, good multiplayer, stable optimization, normal character voice acting.
Conclusion:
Start Wars: Squadrons is a casual project and allows you to simply have fun without delving into what is happening.
