With a scoundrel’s sense of wonder and wit, the new 'Star Wars Outlaws' video game nails the vibe of a galaxy far, far away.
was first released in 1977, it introduced a galaxy’s worth of lore for audiences to sink into.

Nix, too, plays a huge role in gameplay. Similar to the dynamic between micro-droid BD-1 and Jedi Cal Kestis in 2023’s, Nix serves as an extension of the player and can open hatches, disable alarms or sabotage bombs, and even directly distract or attack at the touch of a button. It’s rare to see a sidekick mechanic with as much functionality as Nix. Half the game can be played by pointing him around the level as an agent of chaos to tee up Kay’s next move.
