One of many components I actually preferred right here was that for those who ought to ever lose your approach, you possibly can at all times ask the lovely, armadillo-like Nix. Past being cute as heck, Nix’s energy permits enemies and aims to be briefly highlighted, serving to you discover your approach by a stage or sneak previous enemies. Regardless of my greatest efforts, nevertheless, I used to be at all times shortly detected which might then kick off a firefight.
Fight feels strong, between throwing a punch and blasting enemies, the whole lot feels fluid and responsive. Kay’s distinctive blaster options three modes: Plasma (deadly), Ion (droids), and Stun (non-lethal). She additionally has a focus-like capacity that slows down time and allows you to mark a handful of enemies, letting her rattle off a collection of pictures as time returns to regular.
She will additionally choose up any weapon that falls to the bottom from defeated foes to make use of towards them, however gained’t retain it in her stock, dropping it as soon as it has served its objective. I like the choice right here as a result of it grounds the sport a bit in Star Wars’ actuality – there’s no magic backpack that permits you to stockpile a wide range of weapons. So, count on to lean in on Kay’s blaster for many of those firefights.
