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.

The benefit in buying directly from Ubisoft is that you can link your Ubi account with your Amazon Prime Gaming account and play any of your owned Ubisoft games on damn near any device that will allow Amazon Luna (even an old tablet) for no additional cost.
I like getting directly from Ubi because I can play this from the cloud on a Fire TV.
I look forward to doing that with this game too.
Rockstar Launcher, Steam, GOG Galaxy, Battle.Net, Epic, EA (and the former Origin), Ubisoft Connect, Amazon Games, Humble, Bethesda, Xbox, Legacy Games, and I'm sure there's others I'm forgetting. Fortunately something like Playnite helps corral your library, at least somewhat.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank ob2kenobi
Also GOG has quite the winter sale going and you can filter by what's available on Luna; one sort of underrated hidden gem I've found so far is CHORUS (stylized as CHORVS) for $2.49; works perfectly on Luna, and you have all the usual gog benefits (drm free installers and such).
Anyway sorry for the long reply, but I just wanted to vehemently agree with you, the Luna connection can't be understated and really brings more value to the average Ubisoft purchase (or GOG purchase, just make sure the game is on Luna... I was surprised to see stuff like HK/Silksong available).
