    It’s worth it for the price.

    General:

    • Explosions / killing / respawning
    • Lots of Star Wars location and sound-design fan service

    Campaign;

    • Gameplay is fun, but simple. The most complicated part is just reading the controls in the settings menu since the game doesn’t tell you how to do one of the first things in the first mission (the button you need is 3)
    • Story is basic but it works well as a sequel to Episode 6 and a prequel to The Mandalorian.

    Multiplayer:

    • Take turns being on offence / defence
    • Keep playing the same class / hero character to unlock more abilities for that class / hero character
    • Servers are populated, even for niche locations

    Replayability:

    • Depends
    • If you like regular FPS games, you might get bored of it in 10-20 hours
    • If you like playing the same game over and over again to slowly grind up new things, you’ll probably play it for 100+ hours

    Other stuff:

    • Purchase through steam
    • Running the game downloads and installs the EA launcher (but you can log in using your steam account, no need to create new ones)
    • As far as launchers go, the EA launcher is tiny, surprisingly fast, isn’t annoying and doesn’t get in the way of anything (only setting you’ll change is turning off the autolaunch when you start your pc)
    • Achievements work through steam
    • Invite friends through in-game party system. This can only see your friends on the EA launcher, but you can import all your steam friends in the EA launcher in a second and you only have to do it once.
