Star Wars Outlaws offers you tons of issues to try this immerse you in that galaxy far, distant. Sabacc! Speeder racing! Smuggling unlawful items! Quests and loot are to be anticipated in a large open-world sport, 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: You must decide up your house 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 on your cute 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 have 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 objective to in search of out these meals carts, and the reply is a powerful sure. Every meal offers you a bonus for Nix, a few of which is usually a great boon in your missions: One permits Nix to distract a number of enemies on the identical time whereas one other could cause enemies to start out taking pictures 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!
