The 5 Best and 5 Worst Star Wars Games Ever Made

With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker around the corner, the whole world is experiencing Star Wars fever. For gamers, that means diving into the video games that helped bring this space opera to life.

However, you don’t have to play very long to realize something: there are some really bad Star Wars games out there. For every game that blows you away, there are two or three that feel like a terrible cash grab.

So, how can you enjoy your digital Star Wars adventures without wasting time and money on awful games? You don’t need to use The Force. This comprehensive guide to the best and worst Star Wars games ever made will do the trick!

Worst Star Wars Games Ever

These are the five worst offenses in a galaxy far, far way.

Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi

What do you think of when you think of Star Wars? Most of us imagine fantastic Force powers, cool lightsaber battles, and sweet starship combat.

In Masters of Teräs Käsi, though, Star Wars is reimagined as a terrible 3D fighting game. There are no Force powers, unsatisfying special moves, and way more fisticuffs than you’d expect from the Star Wars universe.

Released in 1997 for PlayStation, this wasn’t just a bad game: it’s one of the worst fighting games ever made. Nonetheless, the Teräs Käsi fighting style got a shoutout in Solo: A Star Wars Story, making this game quasi-canonical!

Star Wars: Obi-Wan

Sometimes, a game isn’t just bad because of the final product. It can also be bad because of its squandered potential.

Released in 2001 for Xbox, Star Wars: Obi-Wan may not be the worst action platformer you’ll ever play. But it’s also the worst of its kind. It lacks the innovation of Jedi Knight, the multiplayer madness of Jedi Outcast, and the crazy Force powers of The Force Unleashed.

In short: if you want to play this kind of game (3D Jedi platformer), you’re better off playing almost anything else.
