It’s got a crafting system but only one craftable item. It’s got fast travel but only between a half-dozen locations, including the cantina and Mubo’s workshop. Like a lot of Oculus exclusives, the game shoots for what I’ll call “AAA vibes”: graphical fidelity and gameplay options reminiscent of huge PC and console titles, but designed for a lower-powered mobile console by a comparatively small team on a ridiculously tight timeline.Ĭonsequently, Galaxy’s Edge plays like the demo of a game about five times its size. ILMxLAB built Galaxy’s Edge for Facebook’s Oculus Quest 2 headset. Between chats with a level-headed cantina bartender named Seezelslak (voiced by Saturday Night Live alumnus Bobby Moynihan) and a slightly twitchy droid dealer named Mubo (voiced by Matthew Wood), they have to explore Batuu and defeat the Death Gang using their blasters and some helpful flying remote droids.
Your character, a droid mechanic, has drawn the ire of the local Guavian Death Gang. It takes place in the wilds of Batuu, the setting of Lucasfilm’s Galaxy’s Edge attraction at Disneyland and Disney World. Where Vader Immortal was an interactive cinematic roller coaster (and not in a bad way), Galaxy’s Edge is more open. Galaxy’s Edge was developed by Lucasfilm effects studio ILMxLAB, creator of the Oculus Quest launch title Vader Immortal. And the new virtual reality game Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge comes surprisingly close to offering a compromise - or it would, if there were more of it. But while I appreciate my freed-up nights and weekends, I miss the specific cadence of open-world action games: that distinctive combination of pitched fights and methodical, low-stakes scavenging. Titles like Watch Dogs: Legion and Ghost of Tsushima, with their huge maps and endless quest lists, feel like part-time jobs. I’ve avoided many of 2020’s big games because they’re simply too big.
