One of the elements I really liked here was that if you should ever lose your way, you can always ask the adorable, armadillo-like Nix. Beyond being cute as heck, Nix\u2019s power allows enemies and objectives to be temporarily highlighted, helping you find your way through a level or sneak past enemies. Despite my best efforts, however, I was always quickly detected which would then kick off a firefight.<\/p>\n
Combat feels solid, between throwing a punch and blasting enemies, everything feels fluid and responsive. Kay\u2019s unique blaster features three modes: Plasma (lethal), Ion (droids), and Stun (non-lethal). She also has a focus-like ability that slows down time and lets you mark a handful of enemies, letting her rattle off a series of shots as time returns to normal.<\/p>\n
She can also pick up any weapon that falls to the ground from defeated foes to use against them, but won\u2019t retain it in her inventory, dropping it once it has served its purpose. I like the decision here because it grounds the game a bit in Star Wars\u2019 reality \u2013 there\u2019s no magic backpack that lets you stockpile a variety of weapons. So, expect to lean in on Kay\u2019s blaster for most of these firefights.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
