The import question you didn't answer is which are you playing right now the Empire or the Rebels?
Both as you can't pick a side in the single player game but the missions move between Empire and Rebels although their seems to be more Rebels missions.
I would also say wait for a sale if you don't have a VR headset as I don't think the flat game would be as good and as it only has 14 missions it is a bit on the short side.

Oh thanks for that, I thought there was different story lines for the empire and rebels (kinda like SWTOR) that's a shame....
Eventually I will dabble in VR.... I tried that Quest one my daughter has it, but she only had games where I had to stand and do stuff... but if I could sit in a chair and just use it for looking and still use keyboard and mouse that would be nice.

The story pretty good as it takes place after ROJ, so far I'm about half way through it as I'm just doing one mission a day and have just switched back to the Empire.
Found the joypad work pretty well in the game, it's just a question of remembering what combo of buttons does what, can't say the same for the radar which is useless in the VR game.

Nice update for the game, pity it's only for the online one which is getting the new ships [url]https://www.ea.com/games/starwars/squadrons/news/holiday-supply-drops?isLocalized=true[/url] at lest if you play the online game you will be able to fly the B Wing which was missing from the single player game.

Wot I Think
Awesome game, really enjoyed playing the VR version on the PS4 so I can't say what the flat version like as I will probably never play it and theirs no chance of me playing the multiplayer game. But if you have the headset and like Star Wars then get it as flying past a star destroyer never get old.
I tend to think the game is more Rogue Squadron than X Wing but we never going to get some thing like the older game from EA, so it is what it is. My only criticism about the PSVR game would be that the radar is pretty useless as it has no depth and the graphic are little on the soft/ blurry side, although I believe it's lot sharper on the PS5.

@pinback I will try the PC Version with the PSVR helmet, and a joystick!! Although the last time I tried this setup (with DCS World), it was quit unconfortable. But NMS (PC Version)was perfect!! No blurry images!!

I do believe this is the next game, which will be going free on epic games, great game in VR not so sure about the flat version. (Pun intended)
