Patient Gamers

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.

I’ve mentioned it before, but the single player campaign is worth this price. I frankly couldn’t stand the multiplayer, but the single player story is simple and fun, and has a surprising amount of content. Gorgeous graphics.

Despite steam page description

Works on steam deck pretty flawlessly

Is this game worth getting for a single player experience in the Steam deck?

Does this still have a wild amount of drm and extra launchers?

Fuck miramax

The screenshots and two trailers make me confused whether this is even the game I thought it is from the title. I hate that it doesn't show any gameplay outside of a short scene in the second trailer.

This is a solid game for how cheap it goes on sale regularly. I mean it's pretty old now, but still.

Multiplayer can be fun, but there are a lot of bots. The Galactic Conquest mode (the Clone War one that's more like the classic BF games) can kinda drag for a really long time in some matches, but it's still pretty fun to jump in and start blasting.

A month ago I watched this video (9 min) which paints quite a positive light on Battlefront 2 - after the very negative reviews and community feedback after release 8 years ago.
