    Thinking of buying battlefront for 20 euro ? I am just wondering if the game is worth getting or is it a waste of my time, from the stats i have found online there are currently around 3400 players playing it at the moment so i dont know if it is worth my money or am i wasting my time?
    thanks in advance :)

    At €20 it's not bad at all, there are still definitely players. The game didn't have a lasting appeal though and when we've got much more appealing games like Overwatch to play now, the numbers for Battlefront won't get any bigger I'm afraid.

    It's a shame, it's not a bad game at all, it feels like Star Wars and it looks and sounds amazing, it's just that it got very boring (for me) and I was damned if I was gonna spend money on a season pass to bring the amount of content merely on par with other games I was already playing.

    especially considering it doesn't even have a single player game to make up for it

    Most people seem to be bored for all the reasons mentioned almost from release day

    DLC and the season pass milking didn't work for this game

    So no its not a good game imo ... I hope they learned from it

    The quality of Battlefront's gameplay is inversely proportional to that of its graphics.

    I played it for about 15 hours and had a blast but it's really shallow and they seriously messed it up with the lack of content and heavy emphasis on DLC.

    Could have been the definitive Star Wars game...instead it was a beautiful audio-visual demo rather than a real Battlefield/Battlefront title.

    Battlefront has just a fraction of the content of both regular Battlefield titles and the older Battlefront games which are over 10 years old now.

    I suppose for 20 euro it's still worth it yes, and there is plenty to be enjoyed for a fair few hours, it's just so very hollow compared to other titles in the franchise.
