Video Game Review: Vader Immortal VR Series
– Spoiler Review –
Vader Immortal is a VR-only game series by ILMxLABs and Oculus Studios, spread across three episodes, that puts the player in the shoes of a smuggler caught by Imperial forces on Mustafar and roped into helping Darth Vader himself with his latest machinations. The episodic nature means it’s both easy to digest and a quick game, with longevity in the form of Lightsaber Dojos, while the VR controls, concepts, and implementation offer an immersive enough experience, with some drawbacks. And while the story which unfolds is intriguing, it can feel like a retread for those that read the Sith Lord’s comic series. Continue reading “Video Game Review: Vader Immortal VR Series”
Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment Working on Open World Game, Starting New Era of Star Wars Gaming
I’ll still never forget when LucasArts being shuttered was announced; it left me gutted, especially knowing a game like Star Wars 1313 would never see the light of day. Yoda says not to mourn, but celebrate one’s life in the Force, so I cherished all the memories they’d given us and set my eyes on the future, hoping this news meant developers, like say Naughty Dog, could bring us a thrilling Star Wars single-player gaming experience (and with Amy Hennig’s cancelled game, we almost did!). Then Lucasfilm announced the licensing deal with publisher EA and I was still optimistic, but it ended up being less than ideal. With the reveal of Lucasfilm Games returning to its roots, I didn’t want to get my hopes up again, but a new era is truly beginning, as the licensing deal isn’t as exclusive anymore with eyes towards a more open future, beginning with Ubisoft’s Massive developing an open-world Star Wars game!

Jedi: Fallen Order, a single-player action-adventure game from the developers at Respawn Entertainment, centers on the young Jedi Padawan, Cal Kestis, as he gets wrapped up in an adventure to restart the Jedi Order, set 5 years after Revenge of the Sith. The game has a rather excellent story, solid but rewarding combat, and great exploration mechanics, but little things along the way, including the main character, dampen some of the experience.
