Best Star Wars games for PC. PC games have long been the beating heart of Star Wars. Regardless of being Star Wars PC games, these games are considered to be the best PC games in their genre. We reminisce over the past few decades of Star Wars games on the PC. I’ve picked out my five of the best Star Wars PC games. • One main advantage to choosing a list of Star Wars PC games is the fact that the PC has so many exclusive Star Wars titles. Practically every great Star Wars game is a near-PC exclusive. In the late 90s though, two previously-exclusive N64 Star Wars games, Shadows of the Empire and Rogue Squadron were both curiously ported to the PC. Now, it’ll be a cold day on Mustafar before I say Shadows of the Empire is a good game (the PC version is not completely horrible), but Rogue Squadron 3D is awesome! Sporting practically identical gameplay to the N64 game but with better graphics and none of that horrible slowdown that plagued the original. Hokey graphics and ancient gameplay are no match for a SideWinder joystick at your side, kid. Playing Rogue Squadron with a proper flight stick is fantastic, and feels like the way it was meant to be played. Just don’t get cocky. • When it comes to first-person shooters, Star Wars doesn’t have a lot to choose from. Dark Forces is consistently one of my favourites, but the best Star Wars FPS is Star Wars Republic Commando. Republic Commando is a tidy FPS with just enough features to help it stand out. A generous difficulty curve and a pretty decent story shunts Star Wars: Battlefront off the list and makes Republic Commando the definitive Star Wars shooter. • If there’s one game genre that is absolutely over-served when it comes to Star Wars PC games, it’s RTS and strategy games. Star Wars has everything, in one PC game or another. My personal pick is Star Wars: Supremacy. Known as Star Wars: Rebellion to our friends in the colonies, Supremacy is pretty much the Civilisation of Star Wars games. Maybe it’s not objectively as good as Star Wars: Empire at War, but I played loads of this PC game back in the day. • You can’t make a list of best Star Wars PC games without mentioning Knights of the Old Republic. KOTOR is truly both a fantastic RPG and a great Star Wars game. KOTOR introduced elements of the Expanded Universe which are still held dear by a lot of Star Wars fans to this day. On any given Sunday you can fire up KOTOR and play the whole game through again. • Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance is truly the definitive Star Wars PC space shooter game. A PC-exclusive, X-Wing Alliance was the last entry into the X-Wing / TIE Fighter series and the last great Star Wars space combat game. Featuring a full voiceover, excellent graphics and realistic space physics, X-Wing Alliance took the X-Wing series to its logical conclusion. • There would be no “Five of the Best Star Wars PC Games” if for so long, these Star Wars games weren't so consistently good. This is a dangerous time for us, when we will be tempted by the Dark Side of preordering. But it’s up to us as fans to demand more from our Star Wars games, before parting with our money. The future holds great things for Star Wars games. • #starwarsgames #starwarspcgames #lucasarts
