Star Wars: Squadrons is a Star Wars video game released by Dead Space remake developer Motive and EA in 2020 which retails for $40 or $6-a-month EA Play subscription. It is a starfighter combat game which offers both single-player and multiplayer battles.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is airing on Disney+ this month and its Goonies like vibe has got people in the mood to recommend Star Wars games this holiday.
The game has a 95% discount for just $2 in the current Steam Winter Sale, which ends at 10 a.m on January 2, 2025.
Star Wars: Squadrons features first-person aerial combat where players engage in dogfights with other starfighters. It offers a robust single-player campaign and multiplayer modes to sink your teeth into.
It fully embraces the Star Wars pilot fantasy, and Motive did not sacrifice that much depth here to make it more accessible.
The PC version of the game supports VR play, but it feels better to play on a controller than mouse and keyboard. This makes it unique among other modern Star Wars games.
Star Wars: Squadrons has an average Mixed rating on Steam, but it is much better than that rating suggests and offers a rewarding gaming experience for those who want to pilot an X-Wing or TIE Fighter.
The game is perfect for those who adore the starfighter pilot fantasy aspect of Star Wars and like to play challenging games with a lot of depth.
Squadrons is one of the most underrated Star Wars games released since Disney acquired Lucasfilm and is worth checking out during this Steam sale.
Star Wars: Squadrons has been compared positively with Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, plus the classic Star Wars: X-Wing and Star Wars: TIE Fighter games that explored this concept in the 1990s.
