I don’t care about online so I can’t speak to that but the campaign is pretty fun and worth it for the $4 sale this game often goes on

spaceship goes whoooooooooooooooooooooooosh and pewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpew
(this game - multiplayer - is dead. But its such a nice spaceship simulator and the story is nice to play too....just short, wait for a 2-4€ sale (its like every month on sale) and buy it for the...like 6-8hours story)
Have many hours on this game at the ea app and it was a nice time, but R.I.P to this Multiplayer.

Alright.
This is one of the harder reviews I've had to write.
Star Wars: Squadrons is a tale of tragedy.
What do we have? An absolutely nuanced and wonderful Star Wars cockpit battle simulator in the vein of X-Wing or Tie Fighter or X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter (my favourite) from the 90s. The space combat is just marvelous. I've played quite a few games in the last couple of years but I have to say, for sheer unabashed joy and fun, this game gave it to me more than any other. I absolutely adored it. The story is not amazing but engaging enough for me to want to see it to the end. Whoever put this game together, I hope they know that they have made an absolute classic video game; something special.
And then... The other stuff. This game has been left to wither on the vine as far as its potential. Yes, they added the B-Wing and another ship. We should have gotten a mission editor as well as more huge space battles like XWvsTF. When thinking about how much fun I had with this game, and how much more fun all of us could have had if the developer wished it... Well, there's the tragedy.
If you're looking for a great multiplayer experience, you will most likely be frustrated. It's just not there anymore.
If you enjoy classic Star Wars and flight sim combat games, Squadrons is the best. Short and sweet.
Please MOTIVE. Please EA. You had something special here. There was so much more that could have been made of this game. Who knows, maybe somewhere up the road they might unshackle it and let the fans do something with it. I don't think that's very likely though.
In sum. I feel a lot of things when I play this game. Both joy and resignation in equal measure. It's an experience you very well might find yourself having as well.

Wait for a sale and then pick up this game, if you are a Star Wars fan (like this 50+ year old fan) as it is like a childhood dream to sit in the cockpits of the most iconic starfighters from the movies.
Just the single player story alone is worth it for me (again, if you get this game in a sale, not if you are paying full price). But if you have some friends and want to do some missions together, the option is still there.
The mission diversity in the single player campaign is great, and the story itself keeps you engaged, and I really like how it bounces between Rebel and Imperials to let you fly all the different vehicles.
I always say - make your own mind up about a game, and not listen to all the overly negative reviews.

*VR is still functional as of Dec 2025*
I know the game is rough around the edges, I know the multiplayer is basically dead... I recommend this title exclusively for the Pilot enthusiast and starwars fan specifically in VR.. the experience is something else.
lots of achievements and cards are good
Does this game need a permanent price decrease? absolutely. I got the game for $2.50 CAD on a steam sale and only recommend it on sale.

this game could have been a masterpiece, the physics, handling, weaponry, scenery everything is quality gameplay especially with a flight stick, the only problem is that the game lacks content because of the lack of updates. i really do wish there was way more stuff in this game, more starships, starship classes, more maps, more battles for online/AI and more campaign missions.
But i doubt this game will ever receive another update ever. it is a shame because its a great game, but at least its £4 on sale, its 100% worth it

This is a very good and engaging game. The sad thing is that the community is dead and the developers don't care anymore. Perhaps if this game could be transitioned into a story-focused game or at least provide more features for single-player, it might be revived.
