buy on sale and enjoy the story, Ea being the evil corporation it is abandoned the game shortly after it released and truly left what could have been a gem in the dustbin of gaming history. As a star wars fan this game is worth it for the ability to fly a x wing and a tie interceptor in vr with immersive combat and a really good singe player campaign.

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.

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.

i have played VR and with flight stick, separately. I personally get sick with the VR, I am just not equipped as a human to be flying crazy in a VR helmet. However playing on a monitor with the flight stick is soooo much fun. I find myself skipping the story, except the briefings, just to go shoot some baddies. Playing both sides is an interesting take on a story and I think its fun. Multiplayer is hard for me, cause I'm not good at game but i still have fun with it.

This game is great, ignore the negative reviews. This is probably one of the best star wars flight games to ever release. It looks great, combat is fun (feels like star wars), and it even has solid VR support.
Multiplayer is dead now, but it is still worth it for the campaign and running against bots. Definitely worth getting on sale.

Pro
Flight Mechanics: Solid controls, power management (shields/weapons/engines), and a satisfying flight model make it feel like a proper sim-lite experience.
Immersive Cockpit View: First-person only with highly detailed cockpits for both New Republic and Empire ships. Super immersive.
VR Support: One of the best VR flight experiences available if you have a headset.
Cross-Platform Multiplayer: You can play with friends regardless of platform.
No Microtransactions: All customization is earned through gameplay. Nice and clean.
Lore and Atmosphere: Great Star Wars aesthetic, sounds, music, and ship designs. Feels authentic.
---
Con
Limited Content: Very few maps and modes. Multiplayer can feel repetitive quickly.
Weak Story Campaign: Feels more like a tutorial for multiplayer than a deep narrative.
No Third-Person View: Might be a downside for players who prefer more situational awareness.
Dwindling Player Base: Matchmaking times can be long, and ranked mode is pretty dead.
Skill Ceiling May Deter Casuals: Competitive flying can be steep to master without good team coordination.
Rating: 7/10
If you’re a fan of Star Wars and love space combat, it’s definitely worth picking up — especially if it's on sale. The experience is short-lived but sweet, particularly in VR or with friends.

Good campaign, if you can play it for cheap like i did, it's pretty fun 7/10.
