Knights of the Old Republic leans heavily on Dungeons and Dragons for many of its RPG elements. After crash landing on a Sith occupied planet, you’ll slowly begin putting together a party of allies before setting off on a much grander adventure across the galaxy. Your custom character awakens into the heat of war between the Republic and the Sith just after the conclusion of the Mandalorian War.

However, its story and characters have been referenced heavily across The Clone Wars, Rebels, and The Mandalorian making it a sort of assumed canon for the modern franchise.

While technically no longer considered fully canon, Knights of the Old Republic’s story is set 4000 years prior to the prequel trilogy and long before modern canon’s High Republic era. Finally on Switch I think I understand, while also being painfully aware of just how far western RPGs have come since 2003.

I’ve since picked up both the first and second Knights of the Old Republic on Steam but struggled to ever really get attached. I had a Gamecube during this generation and my PC couldn’t run anything close to cutting edge. But I, like hopefully a few of you, have no nostalgia for Knights of the Old Republic. But when it comes to simply being the best the original version can offer, it's hard to beat this Switch release. And yes you can mod to your heart's content with the PC version. Yes, you can eliminate load times by playing the original Xbox version on an Xbox Series X. For those players I offer this, Knights of the Old Republic on Switch largely outperforms any previously released official version of the game. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, is one of those games that many players will go into with a deep sense of nostalgia.
