Much of this was due to the horrendous loot boxes that made any sense of progression grind to a halt. In fact, at the time of writing, Battlefront II sits on Metacritic with a miserly user score of just 1.1, and a critic score of 65.
Arriving in late 2017, Battlefront II was met with a rough reception from just about everyone. It’s this unabashed love and glee that’s woven throughout every aspect of DICE’s multiplayer-focused action game. When that classic John Williams music crescendos as I blow up an enemy AT-ST in my X-Wing, I’m taken back to when I was a child playing with action figures. Charging my opponents as General Grievous, lightsabers searing into the walls as clone troopers run for their lives, never gets old.
Star Wars Battlefront II puts a big, goofy grin on my face.
