Star Wars Outlaws provides you tons of issues to do this immerse you in that galaxy far, far-off. Sabacc! Speeder racing! Smuggling unlawful items! Quests and loot are to be anticipated in a large open-world recreation, however what I didn’t anticipate had been the extravagant consuming sequences. It seems participant character Kay is kind of the foodie!
In 4 completely different worlds in Star Wars Outlaws, gamers can sit down at a droid-operated meals stand and revel in a singular dish that includes the native delicacies. There’s alien popcorn cobs, ice-encased eels, and a curry spicier than an offended Gamorrean. Every meal begins with a rambunctious droid chef chopping up substances and cooking them like in Monster Hunter: World, earlier than revealing your plate like a Maître d’.
What’s attention-grabbing is that these aren’t merely cutscenes: It’s important to decide up your area spork and eat! All through your meal, you’ll play by way of easy quick-time occasions to take bites of a kebab or chug some water after an excessive amount of spice. You’ll do the identical to your lovable companion Nix, who enjoys the meal proper alongside you. It may be a genuinely heartwarming second for you and your little buddy and a pleasant break from all of the tense heisting. You additionally hardly ever get this in-depth of a take a look at meals in Star Wars, which for a sure kind of nerd (me) is a big deal with, particularly when every meal appears to cover its personal surprises.
After all, this can be a online game, so that you could be forgiven for questioning if there’s a gameplay function to looking for out these meals carts, and the reply is a convincing sure. Every meal provides you a bonus for Nix, a few of which could be a large boon in your missions: One permits Nix to distract a number of enemies on the identical time whereas one other may cause enemies to start out capturing their blasters wildly (you may swap between these later).
So the following time you’re strolling by way of Mos Eisley or Kijimi Metropolis, take a break and eat just like the locals do!
