Action based combat makes Wildstar fun and fast paced. You can miss with any ability as they require aiming and timing for many to hit. No tab targeting press and forget attacking here, which makes for interactive and fulfilling combat.
Pro Free to play
Wildstar recently followed many other triple A titles in offering a very well done free to play option. Subscriptions are still available for those diving deep into the game.
Pro Indepth and original IP
Wildstar is set in an universe crafted by well known developers the ground up to be fun and enjoyable, but also new and original.
Pro Companions in any role (4.0)
Companions can now fulfill any role: Tank, Healer, Damage. Also companions no longer use gear stats, and so do not require constant gear upgrades. Gear is only used for cosmetic changes now.
Pro Movie like Star Wars universe
Play as a character from the beloved Star Wars universe, and immerse yourself in a fantastic story from Bioware set 1000 years before the movies. Choose a side and fight for the Sith Empire or the Republic as a Jedi, Sith, Trooper, Bounty Hunter, Smuggler and Imperial Agent.
Pro Stream-lined leveling (4.0)
With game update 4.0, Knights of the Fallen Empire, and later, leveling has been streamlined to highlight quests that are relevant to your personal story, so it's easier to move forward rather than waste time on side quests. This includes on your Map, Minimap, quick travel and flight paths.
Genre-Co-Op-Controller Support-
Star Wars: The Old Republic is an MMORPG created by BioWare and takes place in the Star Wars universe. The gameplay is consistent with normal MMO sensibilities where the player progresses in a multiplayer world by completing quests and slowly leveling up their character and equipping better equipment.

Pro Fun ship combat

Pro Real freedom
You can do anything. literally anything. You can become a massive entrepreneur and deal with billions of ISK, set up a pirate base in wormhole space, explore anomalies, build massive ships, become CEO of a player-run industrial corporation. There's tons and tons and tons of stuff. This is like...
Pro 360' freedom of movement
Up, down, left and right simply stop having a meaning when it comes to space. Making for a true space simulator in that the controls mimic how objects would behave in a real space environment.
Con On the decline
The player number is about half of what it used to be and continues to decline. The game has been around for 10 years so it's hardly a surprise.
