Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

I kind of wish I’d played KotOR back when it came out, before I played Mass Effect. It was great, but I did unfortunately spend a lot of the time thinking about how similar some of the locations looked to those in ME.

It was cool having the Star Wars elements there and learning a little about the SW universe that I had no idea about before, but it was a little bit of a slog. Not by any means a bad game, just not my favourite. Had I played it ten years ago, I think my response would have been different.

You should play this if…

You’re a Star Wars fan, or a BioWare fan wanting to go back and check out a title from the old vault. Or if you want to see the first canonical lesbian from the Star Wars universe, Juhani – she’s a fairly interesting character. She’s romanceable by a female player-character, but it’s a bit of a finicky one to unlock (partly due to some known glitches). Luckily, if you’re particularly keen to make it work, there are always guides!
