    Despite its polish and best ideas, I wish I'd just reinstalled both Force Unleashed games, and I encourage anybody eager for a fun, Force-filled, third-person Star Wars experience this year to do the same.
  2. Fallen Order wants you to feel like a fighty, telepathic space priest, and for about 20 hours or so, it does that. Stick with it, and you might also find a cool, yellow lightsaber.

    Very well done, totally worth the time. Respawn got it right, and finally EA respected the process. Cant wait to finish it.

    Don't listen to the shills that give huge scores THE GAME IS BORING AND A GRIND it's not entertaining unless if you are a masochist. I wishDon't listen to the shills that give huge scores THE GAME IS BORING AND A GRIND it's not entertaining unless if you are a masochist. I wish this was similar to Jedi Academy unfortunately it's a stupid Dark Souls-Sekiro wannabe title this is really disappointing for me. Overpowered enemies that you have to hit them multiple times with a lightsaber to be killed this is GRIND !! You should know that the PC version has Denuvo DRM it's a resource hog for the PC systam and makes the game stutter sometimes and causing issues in some systems. Another problem is there is way too much backtracking you just visit the same locations again and again and this gets boring fast as you have to play the same areas and the same enemies that you have killed are always respawn in the same area. ! The.camera system of this game is annoying especialy when there are multiple enemies that you have to face it's really problematic during battles and the keyboard controls are really BAD (A gamepad is surely recommended) as for the story too many plot holes feels like a childish Disney show..

    Boring... the game is simply boring.
    It's neither RPG nor platformer. You spend most of the time backtracking to locations because you didn't have the right skill to unlock something or you had to travel through half of the section just to backtrack to go somewhere else in the world just to back track again to progress further. Whole exploration is just an illusion as you are railroaded into specific areas almost at every corner.
    The game is trying very hard to be a "Dark Souls" game with very poor results. Combat isn't rewarding and very quickly becomes annoying. Every time you rest it resets all enemies and with all the backtracking you have to do I quickly started to avoid combat where possible.
    Character progression is almost non existent and just boils down to some "skill tree" unlocks but you have plenty of customisation and skins for Cal, the ship and BD 1. All you do is collect journal entries and skins, no real upgrades for your Light Sabre that would make you mote powerful, just cosmetics.
    It's EA, so I won't be surprised if we will have MTX added in a couple of months.

    And now the biggest problem with the game - controls...
    It's a PC (!) game that tells you right at the beginning to use controller. The controls on KB&M are clunky at best. A developer that can't be arsed to optimise controls for mouse and keyboard on their PC port just don't deserve the money.
    Camera movement is awkward and sometimes you loose control over it completely so you have to look in specific direction or on at a specific angle. You DO NOT DO things like that on PC. EVER!!!

    I gave it 5 points. It's not a bad game but it doesn't deserve 9's and 10's. People probably set the bar so low for EA games that anything that isn't an utter crap will probably score a 9 or 10.

    Don't buy it. Wait for a big price drop or do what I did, get the Origin Access thing. It will cost you way less (probably closer to real value of this game) and you'll have access to some other games to try out.
    I wasn't expecting much from this game but I really like Titanfall 2 so I thought, why not I'll give it a try.
    Well... Big disappointment or at least missed opportunity...
