Update, still haven't experienced any bugs or technical difficulties. Seriously don't know what people are complaining about, maybe we the exception of some VR stuff this game came exactly as advertised.

If you were too young for the X-Wing/Tie Fighter series and have always dreamed of a Star Wars space combat sim - this is the game for you. Surprisingly challenging and deep gameplay combined with an old school attitude towards unlocks, Squadrons is worth the price tag. I can't speak for technical difficulties as I've yet to run into any (I'm playing on 75 Hz with a very solid, stable 75 FPS on my Ryzen 5 2600 & RX 580 w/ 8gb VRAM) and if the supposed 'SJW' agenda is enough to make you hate this game then I think you need to check yourself, "snowflake". The singleplayer campaign is nothing memorable, takes about 8 hours if you're playing casually and essentially just helps you become a better pilot. I'm playing with a Gamepad since KB+M just seems a bit less precise in the hectic dogfights you will find yourself in. A solid Star Wars experience.

Good fun, product comes as advertised. One or two of maps are more annoying than others but if one is ruining the whole game for you then I think you're a little immature. Ignore all the haters, haven't encountered any hackers to my knowledge. More maps and other content promised. This good game is only going to become great from here on.

Superior to the remastered version. Anyone who's into modding is able to to make the game look better than the remastered version AND fix any bugs encountered while playing on W10 in 2020.

A classic JRPG with a unique (and initially complex) power-up system that was an innovative attempt at removing the need to grind levels. Also features some fantastic settings and a god-tier OST.

Not nearly as good as the first, choices seem more limited and whole experience seems shorter but an enjoyable series for fans of the first one.


If you haven't played the original, don't bother with this until you've finished the first one. This doesn't add anything other than an extended narrative, which while interesting, will be pretty meaningless unless you're already familiar with Clem.

Not as outstanding as 'Wolf Among Us' or 'The Walking Dead' in any way really, I felt early in the episodes that this was a GoT game catered mostly to hardcore fans as fan service.

However, negative reviews citing a poor ending and meaingless choices should be ignored as ultimately the narrative prevails as a nice extension of the GoT universe and perhaps one of the most immersive 'choose your adventure' tales we'll have set in this lore.

I found myself attached to various characters, struggling with important decisions that get harder as the game goes on and in tears by the fifth episode. Anyone who complains for a lack of a happy ending clearly doesn't understand how the Game of Thrones works.

My third favourite game of all time, a must play for Star Wars fans to see an example of how good a Star Wars game can be and a must play for RPG fans to see an example of how good RPGs used to be.

While I can 100% recommend this game based on the game itself, the Steam iteration is far from perfect in terms of bugs and glitches. If you're going to purchase KoToR through Steam please be aware you're going to need to spend a little bit of time modifying game files and settings in order to have a smooth experience with this version of the game. Also make sure you install Mods in the correct install order otherwise you may experience some strange glitches.

The combat in game may seem a little dated for contemporary video game players, however the true gems in KoToR are the narrative and the game's setting - truly one of the best ways to experience the Star Wars universe outside of the original trilogy.



*Recently replayed on Mac and it was even less glitchy than the (not that glitchy) windows experience*
