Hands down the best racing game of 2025. I have really enjoyed playing this in split screen on my steamdeck with my kids!

My wife and I were looking for a game to play together, We typically play much more combat oriatented games, spent a lot of time in Helldivers 2, so we were looking for something a little slower in pace, we tried a few other open world crafting survival games and we were just not having fun. I had noticed this game in my library for a while and decided to suggest it and it was a hit. We were able to quickly start the game and get on the same server and we having laid back fun instantly.

The house customization is staggering, so many options to choose from, the outfits range for cute to very cool, the art style is beautiful. I would highly recommend this game, and we will probably be picking up the founders pack for both of us soon.

I don't like giving out negative reviews but this is warranted. The game crashes frequently and looks awful. I Tried playing at the lowest setting and it would crash once I figured out how to stop it from crashing it ran like garbage, I tried to fix that and it shuddered alot, then I upped the graphic setting and everything looked great at a distance, but up close it still looked worse than the original game, the performance didn't suffer from the increased graphics, so I doubt it is a problem with my brand new computer.

I dont have the time to spend hours troubleshooting a game like I did when I was younger (unfortunately). I would suggest just getting the original Ark Survival Evolved as it is cheaper and in a more playable state. The game is fantastic, I spent years playing the original on my Xbox, so I figured I would try out the new version only to be met with disappointment. I would recommend Ark Survival Evolved, but not this Unreal 5 version of the game.

This game is amazing and will provide hundreds of hours of entertainment. The game is very easy to find mods for and the installation process is very straightforward. I spend so much time playing this game as a child and as an adult I find myself coming back to the game about once a year to get some of that old Star Wars action. I couldn't recommend this game enough.

Things to note:
1. I would not directly compare this to EA's Battlefront 1 or 2 as those games play completely differently than classic Battlefront 2. I feel like some people compare them and while EA did name those Battlefront 1 and 2, they are very different and EA's Battlefront 2 is very enjoyable as a shooter just in a completely different way.

2. Don't buy the Battlefront Classic Collection... Classic Battlefront 1 and this game are combined cheaper than the Classic Collection and the old games have more functionality than the Classic collection has. Just because I recommend this does not mean I recommend the Classic Collection. Mod support on the originals is far greater than on the classic collection and the up-scaled textures in the classic collection is the only thing that really sets them apart, and honestly they inst much a differents visually.

I would not recommend this game at $70. If you can get it on sale for under $60 I would recommend it.

I 100% completed the game on Xbox (on sale) and picked it up on steam during the May the 4th sale. I really enjoy the world building the game provides to the Star Wars Underworld. I would have preferred to see a more gritty story as Outlaws doesn't really portray for dark the criminal underworld can really be, that being said the story of the game is fun and lighthearted. The gameplay, weapon sandbox, and Nix commands are very fun to work with. If played on harder difficulty you can end up with a pretty strategic game that is fun to play with. The stealth mechanics are also fun and trying to use pure stealth can be a nerve racking but incredibly fun way of playing the game.

As I said before, I would recommend the game, but I would not play $70 for it, I would wait until you can pick it up for significantly cheaper of a price. It is good, but isn't stellar or life changing, and there are very few games that would warrant a $70 entry fee, plus an addition $40 for the season pass, which also doesn't actually include all of the DLC for the game. Paying full price for everything would easily be $130-$150 (without actually doing the math, it is probably more). Unfortunately the game with all of its DLC just isn't worth that much.

Amazing remaster of a classic game. I played through on hard as I have played the game before and found it really fun. The updated cut scenes and upscaled textures and character in the gameplay were amazing! I wish I had gotten this game sooner honestly. I am really hoping to see Dark Forces 2 get this treatment. Well done to the staff that worked on the remaster and the original staff that made a game worth remastering. I am very happy with Dark Force Remaster.

I really love this DLC. The price of $8 is very reasonable for the sheer amount of content you get for the game. I really appreciate the care the developers put into this DLC. You get a cooking themed variant of all the original spirits plus a few totally new spirits, the customization of the kitchen area is very deep with lots of options, and the new vibe is very nice. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who it interested. Thank you!

I have really enjoyed this game, I just finished the new game plus mode and wrapped up all the achievements. I would highly recommend this game to someone who wanted a cheap fun and deep experience. I also want to say thanks to the developer for creating such a great game. Sooo Thank you!

The game is leagues better than it was at launch, but I still cant recommend it. One of the biggest pulls for this game was the multiplayer servers. These are completely dead. The up-scaled textures are fine, not really a huge difference. It would majorly benefit for having workshop support, I feel that if this were added it might be able to get people playing again. Ultimately the original games are way easier to add mods too. Also, I have heard from modders that there are some issues with adding certain content like custom factions. The original games are cheaper and have a lower bar to entry for modding and as such I would recommend those despite the huge improvements made to the game and all the issues that have been corrected after launch. I will continue playing till I have all the achievements then I will probably uninstall the game and play on the original version.

Edit: After 100% completing the game, my thoughts have not changed much. If you don't want to mod the game this is a decent enough option, but the original games are still cheaper and if you changed your mind it would be easier to install mods. I did install mods near the end of the achievement run because I was getting bored and alot of issues came up, in the instant action menu the cursor would disappear when trying to add any levels to the playlist, the modded levels seemed to have texture issues where they don't on the original games, classes and weapon models for custom factions also look really odd at times. I would still recommend the original games over this collection as Steam already is a better "Launcher" than what comes with the battlefront collection. I am very disappointed, with this and the only silver lining is that Battlefront 1 and 2 were already great games, the patching got the collection to the base-line standard for them and I got to 100% another Star Wars game. I still would not recommend this to anyone.

I absolutely love this game. The music is fantastic, but the habit tracker, to-do list, and timer are great tools and are easy and simple to use. The spirits are awesome and the various interactions they have based on what activity your avatar is doing are really cool. I basically have this game running while working on my personal projects and while WFH. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a low key game and for anyone looking for a interesting productivity tool with some famification. I have ADHD and this app seriously helps me stay focused while working on things. I appreciate the time and effort the developers have and continue to put into the game. Thank you!
