Despite all the combat options it makes available to players, Star Wars Outlaws is more of a stealth game than anything else. This might be a disappointment to some, simply because stealth isn't for everyone, and it could be considered especially disheartening for a Star Wars game to prioritize stealth gameplay when there is so much potential for more aggressive playstyles. Nevertheless, stealth does fit Star Wars Outlaws' premise, as its protagonist Kay Vess is an outlaw and a nomad on the run with no allies but her adorable merqall companion Nix. For all intents and purposes, it works, though it's not quite on the same level as Assassin's Creed's stealth. However, that might actually be a good thing.
