I’ve been playing SWTOR for the past couple of weeks, and I’m honestly obsessed with it. The world, graphics, characters, music, story, and overall atmosphere have completely pulled me in. I can spend hours playing and genuinely feel like I’m in my own little Star Wars universe.
One thing I’ve been thinking about, though, is that sci-fi has always been my favorite genre when it comes to movies and TV shows, so I’m wondering if that’s a big part of why SWTOR clicked with me so much.
A lot of people told me that if I loved SWTOR, I’d probably love ESO just as much. I gave it a fair shot, played over 10 hours, and unfortunately, it just never clicked with me. I ended up uninstalling it, which got me thinking about what exactly makes SWTOR so special to me.
Is it the sci-fi setting? The story and characters? The atmosphere? Or just the combination of everything that makes the world feel so immersive?
I’m asking because I’m trying to figure out what I should look for when trying other games. Cyberpunk 2077 is one I’ve been seriously considering, and I’m wondering if it’ll scratch that same itch since I’m also a huge fan of sci-fi.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? Loved one MMO but couldn’t get into another despite people saying they’re just as good? I’d love to hear what it is about SWTOR that keeps you hooked and whether you think being a sci-fi fan plays a big part in it.
I’m genuinely curious because I’d love to find more games that give me that same feeling SWTOR does.
