beautiful game, story is great, characters are compelling and lovable. Kay is confident but also imperfect and clumsy in a VERY Han Solo-esque way. the world feels more alive and lived-in than any other Star Wars game save maybe KOTOR — you really get a sense for what everyday life is like for regular people under the thumb of the Empire at its peak. lore callbacks are fantastic without feeling fanservicey or forced — I love that you can discover old Clone Wars-era stuff despite this being Empire-era.
rewards for exploration often justify exploring. discovering the location of collectibles and side quests and upgrade parts in this game is PERFECT — you learn about rumors just by overhearing conversations walking around town, which i wish more games did instead of forcing you to insert yourself into every conversation.
combat is mid. very early on, Kay grows out of feeling scrappy and becomes disbelievingly overpowered, esp vs Imperials, but it feels like a gameplay affordance rather than lore intentionality. factions are a neat idea but underbaked — would have been CRAZY good with the nemesis system. the overall gameplay loop gets a lil repetitive over time, but not so soon that i couldn't make it to the end of the game, mainly due to story investment.
not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination. but absolutely underrated. i don't regret it in the slightest.
I just picked it up on Steam for $21. It's a fun game, but it wasn't worth $70 at launch.
I kind of hate buying things directly on Ubisoft Connect, and much prefer buying Ubisoft games on Steam. I got this game working on my ROG Ally with SteamOS, and managing the game from Ubisoft Connect is a pain vs SteamOS.

I know it was pretty buggy and had some gameplay issues on release, but they fixed a lot of that stuff with a big update soon after release, and with another one this year I think. Now it's a lot of fun, without a lot of the annoying problems that frustrated and turned people off when it came out.
It's just important to know what kind of game it is. It's a stealthy game with some brief but fun action bits, which are mostly optional. But the completely open world is great, and has a lot of stuff I've always wanted from a Star Wars game. The story itself it's pretty light, but gives you some things to work towards.
At this price it's a no-brainer, even if you want to just jump in to explore the worlds, ride your speeder around, do some jobs, or even just play Sabacc... which can be kind of addictive - fair warning.
(I'll note that I'm seeing it on Ubisoft at the link for $22, not $11. But I'd say even that's well worth it.)
