Why Star Wars: The Old Republic Matters | PIXELS OR DEATH

And with this comes my old friend: the solo, in-my-brain roleplaying. SWTOR is the first MMORPG to engage the part of my brain where my imagination dwells – and I’ve played a lot of them. Usually, I’m left with the cheap thrill of my level increasing, or my sword getting gnarlier, and SWTOR definitely leans on these same trappings occasionally. But, regardless, Bioware has succeeded in igniting my brain in ways that only single player games have previously – and, to frank with ya’ll, I can’t stop playing it. The in-brain back story and moral compass are all firmly in play, and enriching the game constantly.
