Me and my friend bought this and played 1v1 Galactic Conquest and had a great nostalgia fueled time. It ports the games over just fine, but I also didn't play anything online which apparently was the brunt of this collections negative reception. I feel weird giving this a star rating.
It is overpriced at $35 though.

Not much to say about this one that I don't think everyone already knows.
3 Servers at launch.
Terrible hit reg and rubber banding on those servers.
Missing cutscenes in single player.
Texture issues on PC.
Massively bloated file size somehow went from 12 GB to 60+ GB (Likely due to the AI 4k upscale textures but you likely won't even notice the difference).
And I know there is more that I am missing.
Battlefront II is one of my favorite game from my childhood but this is just a bastardized version of that game. The only thing that saves this from being 1 star or even lower is that fact that it can still server as an ok way to play for those who don't have a PC and are only or look to play offline or local multiplayer (Friendly reminder the OG is backward compatible with Xbox One & Series consoles). If you have a PC however there is no reason to consider this version.
It more expensive than the OGs which are still on steam and often go on sale. The OGs have better mod support and still have some community servers that are better than the official offerings.
Even thought I got a refund I still feel like I wasted my money. This should have been a layup but Aspyr managed to fumble it.
As it stands there is quite literally no reason to even pirate this version of the game.
