Played for the first time last night, only did the Prologue and the first Republic mission, but so far it’s a very good X-Wing sequel, updated for modern times. Funny to see actual characters on screen, having pseudo-conversations with you between missions, instead of X-Wing Alliance’s emails. They’ve simplified the controls (see this vs this ), but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, and feels important for a modern audience. I mean, how often did I need to cut all power to shields just to get a little extra out of my laser recharge rate? This game’s way of doing things is fine.
