As the first Star Wars game to include all three eras in the Skywalker Saga, the new Battlefront II is an awesome addition to the Star Wars universe and great for both fans and gamers.
When the game was first released under the same name as another previous and popular game, it received a lot of mixed reviews, with praise for the enjoyable gameplay and stunning visuals, but also some major criticism because many items in the game had to be bought with real money. The fun additions that traditionally were earned by playing the game had to be bought in order to progress (even though it technically didn't affect gameplay). The creator, EA, soon took this away and made in-game purchases merely cosmetic, and satisfaction rose. The game received many content updates until the last one this April, and has many new and old locations, characters, and customizations.
Unlike its predecessor, this version had a campaign following the story of Iden Versio, the commander of the Galactic Empire's elite Inferno Squad, taking place after the Battle of Endor, and her mission to destroy the New Republic. The story is excellent and fast-paced and brings out the interesting story of the people on the other side of the war while keeping it clear what is actually good. You can play as classic heroes of the original trilogy and explore new planets that fit right into the Star Wars galaxy. The Inferno Squad actually got their own book as a prequel to the game (which I would recommend reading for those who enjoy the game.) It's a great story to add into canon with memorable characters and builds the Star Wars fandom.
The game has an amazing multiplayer mode where you fight on the ground and in the air in many iconic locations as the Republic or the Separatists, the Empire and Rebellion, and Resistance and the First Order. You can drive all the vehicles, play on any side as any species or droid (from Droidekas Ewoks), play in nine different game modes, and in many beautiful, detailed worlds in epic battles. It's a great experience and always fun to play.
