Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
A classic Star Wars game that bears all the hallmarks of an early PC action game right down to the dodgy controls and maze-like levels, but it holds an undeniable charm for Star Wars fans. We follow Kyle Katarn, hero of the previous Dark Forces games. He's since retired from the Jedi business and now makes his living as a mercenary working with the New Republic, making life hard for the Imperial Remnant. However, when a new threat in the form of the Dark Jedi Desann surfaces and threatens Luke Skywalker's budding Jedi Academy, Kyle finds himself drawn back into the fight and the Force. It's a solid story, not too out of place in the canon of the old Expanded Universe, albeit one that absolutely drips with 90s action movie bravado. It can't help but be slightly narmy, but there's a sense of fun to that. The gameplay is split between first-person shooting and third-person hacking once Kyle picks up the old lightsaber again a few levels in. It's a bit janky, with wonky hit detection and labyrinthine levels, which is an era of game design that I'm afraid to say hasn't aged terribly well. Still, to me this game holds a retro charm, and the gameplay is part of that. If you've not got a ton of patience for it I'd steer clear but otherwise this is a vital part of the Star Wars gaming pantheon.
