Star Wars Zero Company Launches to Rave Reviews, but a Crash Can Wipe Your Permadeath Run
Star Wars Zero Company, a turn-based tactics game from XCOM veterans at Bit Reactor with Respawn and EA, launched August 27 on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. It sits at 88 on OpenCritic with 91 percent of critics recommending it, and PC Gamer called it a new all-timer Star Wars game. Reviewers flagged that crashes can erase permadeath progress, so save often or expect lost runs.
