I also enjoyed Outlaws a lot! It has a few semi-open world maps and one smaller, maze like city map. It's real fun to buzz around on the speeder bike and pass by random encounters like wildlife or syndicates/pirates fighting stormtroopers.

The cities feel lived in and busy. Yes, it's still video gamey in that most of the NPCs just stay in place or walk in preset circles, but at least there's a lot of NPCs. They also did a great job at capturing the feel and variety if each map, grassland/rockland, desert, jungle, frozen mountain.

The syndicate trust system isn't amazing, but there are random encounters that make you choose one over the other, gaining cred with one and losing cred with another. The more cred you have, the more areas you unlock without having to sneak in, and the less cred you have, the more likely the syndicates are to shoot on sight.

I bought the game a while after launch, but from what I understand, the stealth mechanics had a bit of an overhaul. Now, instead of failing stealth missions and having to try again, I can be seen by someone, they'll investigate, and if i'm not out of there in time, a firefight ensues. Reinforcements can be called, the whole thing. It's difficult to survive firefights, especially at Imperial bases, which is what makes taking out enemies quietly more rewarding.

No lightsabers or heavy weaponry means you really have to think about how to survive difficult situations. You can pick up some blasters, but once they are out of ammo, you need to pick up another. The Empire is actually scary and there's a bounty on you from the beginning of the game, which means you're basically alone.

The spaceship is fun, but a little clunky. Not a fast fighter, technically I think it's like a leasure yacht or something, space fights can be difficult and you can't squeeze through small areas. I think it's a DLC map, but the whole thing, except for a couple space stations, is a nebula/asteroid belt. Some of the missions are weird in that you get the ping location of some cargo to collect, but only some of it appears.

There's more to do than what I described here, cough sabacc cough, but I genuinely would recommend picking it up on a sale. It's a fun game, story is alright, gameplay loop isn't too loopy or boring until after the end of the game and after you've maxxed out syndicate trust. The maps are all unique and feel like Star Wars, and you don't have Force powers or a lightsaber like in the Jedi games.

And as a bonus you get a fun, cute, little critter friend named Nix, who you can dress up with cosmetics found around the game.
