Now Playing:Star War Outlaws Is A Sweeping Stealth Game | GameSpot Preview
Kay, of course, always haltingly agrees.

Opening the vent got me into the elevator, which got me up to Gorak.
Finally, I hit the Pyke stronghold, an area covered with marauding guards.
And in that time, I got spotted and had to fight.
Combat in Outlaws is interesting in that it feels significantly different from that of most Star Wars games.
You also have an ability called Adrenaline, which charges while you’re in combat.
Things can go bad so quickly, though, that my time with Outlaws could get a bit frustrating.
A couple missions later, Kay infiltrates an Imperial space station on another job.

Why not strike first?
I particularly liked that Outlaws usually trusts you to figure these elements out yourself.
It all felt a bit hokey.
My major struggle was that it could often be tough to understand exactly what you’re able to do.
It sometimes left me floundering to figure out what to do next.
