Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast (2002, PC, OS X, GameCube, Xbox) We’d love a proper re-release now, thank you. It's a complete Star Wars nerd experience, serving as both one of the best Star Wars games ever and one of the best GameCube games. More than its visuals, however, the second Rogue Squadron boasted one of the finest renditions of the famous Trench Run ever to be featured in a video game.Ĭompared to its more complicated cousin TIE Fighter, Rogue Leader is an unrepentant arcade game, pitting you against waves of TIEs in a variety of familiar Star Wars settings in a robust package that also included bonus ships and missions, allowing you to fly everything from the Millennium Falcon to the Naboo N-1 Fighter. Rogue Leader was a showcase for the Gamecube at release, and it’s easy to see why. Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader (GameCube) There’s also clearly a Metroidvania influence at work, but it’s put to great effect in allowing you to explore a host of planets, unlock customization options for Cal, your lightsaber, and one of the sweetest droids around, BD-1. While the Soulsborne-esque combat can be challenging, it’s a rewarding system to master with the energetic and fast-paced lightsaber and Force combat. Set five years after the events of Revenge of the Sith, players control Padawan Cal Kestis, one of the last surviving Jedi following Order 66, as he traverses across the galaxy attempting to complete his training and rebuild the Jedi Order. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is one of the best single-player Star Wars games to come out in recent memory. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (2019, PC, PS4, Xbox One) If you haven't played it, it's very much worth grabbing KOTOR 2 off Steam, installing the mods, and diving into one of the best Star Wars games ever. Its story is what makes it worth it, featuring a darker take on BioWare's approach to KOTOR, its main character being the "Jedi Exile." Its twisting narrative is very much in keeping with the Obsidian tradition, and it's what still has fans talking about KOTOR 2 today. Still, it retains a hold over its fans, who have lovingly restored much of its cut content while addressing its flaws.
It's undeniably unfinished, with the final release being riddled with bugs. Knights of the Old Republic 2 is in so many ways about Obsidian as much as it's about Star Wars. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 (2004, Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox, PS4) It’s similar to Battlefield 2142’s Titan mode, but with Star Wars ships. In Space Assault, two teams assault the opposing faction’s capital ship via starfighters until key systems are knocked out. Playable Heroes like Darth Vader and Prequel-era Obi-Wan, and Space Assault, arguably the best of the multiplayer modes. Battlefront II’s matches have the same feature set as the first Battlefront, but with a few notable additions: Its story is told from the perspective of a clone trooper (voiced by Jango Fett himself, Temura Morrison) fighting in the Republic’s 501st Legion against Seperatist forces. It’s something the budding franchise didn’t need, yet still pulled off surprisingly well. Star Wars: Battlefront II (2005, PS2, Xbox, PC, PSP)Ģ005’s Star Wars: Battlefront II took the foundations of the first Battlefront-specifically the Battlefield-inspired multiplayer -and added an engaging single-player story mode on top of that solid bedrock. It also introduced Star Wars fans to Kyle Katarn, a major character in Star Wars video games for years to come. While it lacked a multiplayer feature, Dark Forces more than made up for it with solid graphics for the time and superb level design that provided a good challenge throughout. Yet Star Wars: Dark Forces is another first-person shooter among the best to come out during that decade. When you think of '90s first-person shooters, Doom and Quake are often the most recognizable ones, for obvious reasons. Star Wars Dark Forces (1995, MS-DOS, MAC) These entries stretch across console generations, genres, and stories, but they’ve all captivated us in their own way. There’s certainly no shortage of games to choose from, but we’ve tapped into the Force and whittled down the list to what we consider the 10 best Star Wars games of all time now that Star Wars: Jedi Survivor has arrived.
