    This is such a pale shadow of the older Lucasarts Jedi games, Jedi Knight II, Jedi Outcast.. This feels on rails and repetitive, despite the production values.

    Fallen Order: When being a Jedi feels worse than a stormtrooper.

    Prepare for a galactic disappointment with Fallen Order, a game that leaves you questioning if you've truly mastered the Force or just mastered the art of sighing heavily. Picture this: stormtroopers, notorious for their inability to hit the broad side of a Bantha, somehow manage to survive not one, not two, but a    Fallen Order: When being a Jedi feels worse than a stormtrooper.

    Prepare for a galactic disappointment with Fallen Order, a game that leaves you questioning if you've truly mastered the Force or just mastered the art of sighing heavily. Picture this: stormtroopers, notorious for their inability to hit the broad side of a Bantha, somehow manage to survive not one, not two, but a mind-numbing three to four lightsaber strikes. It's as if they found an armor upgrade at the discount space station. Someone call a Wookiee because this logic needs some serious fixing!

    But that's not the only thing that'll leave you scratching your head faster than R2-D2 in a sandstorm. No, no, my friends. In Fallen Order, you can't simply run through a level like a Jedi on a mission. Oh, no! You're forced to explore every nook and cranny, as if the next step forward could be hiding behind a space slug. It's a game of hide-and-seek, and you're stuck being the seeker.

    And let's talk about jumping, shall we? Apparently, Jedi leap distances are about as impressive as a Jawa's vertical jump. You'll find yourself tiptoeing on the edge of ledges, praying you'll make it to the other side. It's like they forgot to equip Jedi with space boots that actually allow for decent jumps. Who needs smooth and effortless when you can have heart-pounding and edge-of-your-seat, am I right?

    Now, here's where the real comedy kicks in. Picture this: you, a Jedi, capable of slowing down humans in their tracks like a Jedi traffic cop. But when it comes to monsters, well, let's just say they're immune to the Force. It's like the game creators believed that giant, menacing beasts have some kind of anti-Jedi shield, while conveniently forgetting to distribute the memo to the human villains. Nice going, guys. I'm sure the monster-sized brains came up with that brilliant concept.

    And hold on to your blasters because we're just getting started! All the levels are chock-full of tantalizing places you can't access right away. Oh, the anticipation! You'll have to revisit those areas once you've gained some Jedi abilities to upgrade your character's health and force. It's like waiting in line for your favorite intergalactic theme park ride, but instead of thrills and chills, you're rewarded with an upgrade to your character's life bar. Oh, the excitement! Or lack thereof.

    Now, let's chat about upgrades, shall we? Prepare for disappointment, my fellow Jedi wannabes. About 99% of the upgrades you'll encounter are as useful as a thermal detonator in a pillow fight. It's a parade of meaningless cosmetic changes that'll have you questioning if Jedi knights were secretly fashionistas. I mean, really, did Obi-Wan Kenobi ever lose sleep over his wardrobe choices or pondered a new shade of lightsaber color? I think not.

    But wait, there's more! The fights, my friends, are as underwhelming as Jar Jar Binks trying to tell a joke. The lackluster upgrades and battles make you wonder if you accidentally picked up a plastic lightsaber toy instead of the real deal. Sorry, Jedi, but you'll have to look elsewhere for that authentic lightsaber-wielding thrill. Fallen Order seems to have misplaced it among the stars.

    And speaking of misplaced, how on Tatooine did this game manage to earn such high ratings?

    But the main plot? Well, let's just say it's like navigating an asteroid field blindfolded. We're chasing the footsteps of a late Jedi researcher who apparently had a penchant for leaving cryptic clues like a Hutt leaving a trail of crumbs to his secret stash of snacks. It's a plot twist that leaves you with more questions than a protocol droid at a trivia night.

    In a galaxy far, far away, one would expect a Jedi adventure to be filled with awe-inspiring moments, epic battles, and a sense of mastery over the Force. Yet, Fallen Order manages to deliver an experience that feels more like being stuck in hyperspace traffic than embarking on a legendary quest.

    So, how did this game manage to achieve such lofty ratings? It's a mystery that even Yoda would struggle to decipher. Perhaps the Force is playing some cosmic prank on us, or maybe there's a secret Sith conspiracy at play. Whatever the case may be, Fallen Order's high acclaim remains as baffling as a Gungan trying to pronounce "lightsaber."

    In conclusion, brace yourself for a lackluster Jedi journey with Fallen Order. It's a game that will have you questioning the logic of lightsaber strikes, exploring every inch of the galaxy, tiptoeing on ledges, and facing off against monsters that are somehow immune to Jedi powers. With underwhelming upgrades, lackluster battles, and a plot that feels more convoluted than navigating an asteroid field, it's no wonder this game falls short of capturing the true essence of being a Jedi. May the Force be with you, because you'll need all the help you can get to find enjoyment in this galaxy far from greatness.    … Expand

    From the start the game shows you "strong and independent" tehcnical workers (that talk a lot just in case you didn't notice them). It also has female characters in key leandership positions. They are all strong, intelligent, etc. While guys are goofballs. Also all the normal enemies that you kill by the ton are guys. Guess equality ends there.

We are waiting for good CGI videos and several beautiful, but boring levels where we have to look for chests and solve puzzles. Hello Zelda.
    It seems that the levels are striking with variety, but this is not so, the path, albeit winding, is one. It gets boring very quickly as if you are swarming in the baby playground.

    Sword! The sword has cool on/off sounds, it glows beautifully. It can be customized, but why? In the heat of the battle, there is no time to look at it. Fighting with swords is very simplified, there are big questions to the sword itself. Sword damage is not thought out. On some surfaces, no marks remain, and in passive mode, it simply passes through surfaces without leaving any marks. If that's still forgivable in LEGO Star Wars. But in a game like this? And this is a super Jedi weapon?
    I do not believe it. Rather a Toy from Amazon.

    It's weird that the developers took the time to draw dozens of costumes for the protagonist, but they were not enough for the variety of levels and the mechanics of the lightsaber.    … Expand

    I made an account just for this game.

    In short, this game is garbage. I run a RTX3070 and yet it manages to stutter all the time, moreso than Cyberpunk if that was even possible. It's a complete buggy mess with gamebreaking bugs that force you to restart your whole game, even a year later with "patches". Don't buy this game, there are multiple other games to spend your money on.

    In general the game is a platform genre game, where you have times where you have to look around the map to see how do you have to get to the next area, but nothing difficult in general, but a few puzzles takes some time to resolve.
    There are also lots of fights, that are well executed. The "normal" fights against a vast variety of stormptroopers and creatures are difficult enough to make them entertraining. You have also abilities you learn through out the game by a level buying system (idk how its called). The boss fights will take your time. They are hard and you will have to learn through a lot of tries how to beat your enemy. Patience is your friend.

    The levels/planets takes their time to be completed, and at all moments you feel like you are really in a Star Wars adventure movie. They made an excellent ambientation, and the levels are well designed in my opinion. All of them are quiet unique. Graphically, this game is beautiful.

    Levels are poorly designed and have no logical sense to them. Am I supposed to believe in this world? it's not a living breathing SW universe. it's a bunch of standalone levels with some platforming , puzzles and combat.

    Story. Lazy writing right from the start. silly characters with silly dialog and no depth. it's filled with excuses.

    There's a lot to discover via the in-game wiki thing which is more laziness. instead of actually having content in the game you read about most of it.

    They have tried to take what they think makes Souls-like games great, combine it with a loot, puzzles and that SW magic and hoped it would make a great game. it didn't.

    I really loved Jedi Outcast/Academy and KOTOR1-2 and what I hoped for is something of a mix of these two taken further. The TPS element with complex lightsaber duels and constant force use driving the game with a deep RPG story behind. And to be fair you can find elements from both games here (mostly from Outcast/Academy though).
    The other thing: I had a hard time getting drawn into it. There was a point around the end when I felt immersion, but I wanted that for the entire time...

    This feels Tomb Raider and Shadow of Mordor-y, and while it is not bad, there is zero risk taken. The progression system is a simple dumbed down skill tree, anything you find in the world is just cosmetic, it is a huge let down for me... (Just imagine if you could find elements of your lightsaber which you could assemble and have various effects on your damage? oh boy... and this is just one thing.)

    Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad game, the world you see around you is so large and expertly and beautifully crafted, if you are into Tomb Raider and Shadow of Mordor then you will probably love the gameplay. I love those games too, but if I want that, I just go and play those games.

    What I wanted is engaging lightsaber duels with a more complex system and an RPG story with interesting items to find and buy and sell, have a few deep companion stories to discover, whiile keeping up with the times with these great visuals and levels which we do see here.

    I remember in Jedi Outcast I did savegames for every encounter when I had a lightsaber duel, small or large, and once I just went to play those moments one by one. Although you had some TR elements in JO they were not that pronounced (I still remember when you had to finally get your lightsaber how many hoops you had to jump to get there and I was like JUST F***IN GIVE IT TO ME ALREADY! :D. It was full of emotion. I felt no emotion in this game...)

    Finally the multiplayer in JO and JA... We have spent countless hours in there doing lightsaber duels or just hanging around watching others, it was a complete blast! I miss that too...

    So yeah, I hope that if this game gets a sequel it will be more in that direction, but honestly I doubt it... While games like this sell, why would anyone want to be adventurous?    … Expand

    What I can't put up with is the inability to climb over a pipe that is running along teh floor, whilst able to climb on crates and oddly shaped exploded cannisters. there is nothing behind teh pipe even, but for some arbitrary reason there is an invisible wall. it just gets worse the more i play it, with such bizarre things as this, and other things.
    I've just about had it with going to the planet choice screen and accidentally opening the map of the planet, because woe betide they put that on the actual map button. the one that isn't being used for anything in that particular screen.
    I come across a broken door deep into a dungeon and I miraculously gain the ability to smash it open, but for some reason, I have passed dozens of the exact same broken door and nothing happened. I pass multiple little statues and yet when it comes to one particular statue, all of a sudden BD thinks this one is of note, even though it really isn't.

    There is no rhyme or reason to any of the 'design' decisions in this game and i can't take it any longer.

    I'm fed up of the game showing me a place I can go and then punishing me for it, showing me pointless stuff that has literally no semantic value, giving me pointless 'skins' for a lightsaber that is so small on the screen I can't even see the skins on it.

    The game is an embarrassment to Respawn.    … Expand

    I keep getting a message that says "your trial is over, the game will close now". That is not fair. There should not be any "trial" when I bought the full game. Either let me play the game that I actually paid for, or give me my money back. This is a scam, and I'm pretty sure this is illegal.

By rights I should also love Jedi: FO, and believe me I tried. Far longer than was healthy, I tried. With all of the Star Wars lore and copyright assets to draw from, and such a well-worn gaming template that this game should be a knockout. Instead, it is an incredibly frustrating experience full of level design that can only be described as spiteful and vindictive. Everything appears designed to impede your progress, maximise frustration and destroy any possibility of enjoyment.

    Whereas the combat in games like Batman and Shadows or Mordor are intensely satisfying, Jedi gives us near-impossible boss battles within minutes of starting the game that require you to be far beyond your current level to stand any chance of winning. Die (and you will, padawan, you will!) and you are teleported back to the last autosave location so you can re-live that horrendous section of jumps, climbs, battles and fails all over again, before you get another crack at the thing that killed you. Rinse, wash, swear, repeat.

    Yes – checkpoints are a thing here. Ugh. It’s 2020 and we haven’t learned anything. That, and after finally completing a level, the devs succumbed to the laziest method of trying to lengthen this game by making us find our way back through the sci-fi assault course back to our ship. I am not a violent person, but…… please! You are preventing me from even seeing the game that I paid for. Life is too short for this BS. Uninstalling it after 10 hours or so of torturing myself was cathartic.

    I remember PC Zone magazine running an article around 2004 with a list of game design choices that devs should avoid under any circumstances. With Jedi: FO, EA managed to tick every box of what not to do. After destroying Battlefield and now Star Wars, I am out!    … Expand

    During combat the camera angles are aweful and too often you end up with the camera showing a wall or floor, not knowing what is going on. Input is unresponsive and often the character won't attack, dodge, parry or use healing when you press the button. Animations have varying distances and timings so you never know if your attack will move you forward 0,5m or 1,5m and last 0,5s or 2s. Sometimes you can parry the enemy, sometimes not (regular attacks, not heavy which cause the enemy to have an outline). Sometimes your blaster bounced laser deals 10% of enemy hp, sometimes 80%. Quite often your character gets stunlocked, where enemy stuns you with a hit and before you recover he hits and stuns you again and so 3-5 times.

    Movement is very erratic and often it's hard to jumps straight - your character steers to the side mid jump and you fall. The character often gets stuck on geometry and T-poses.

    Locations are badly designed - you often don't know where to go next, where you came from ,where you can / can't go. Enemies often attach you from behind or just after entering a room so you have no way of knowing / countering that and have to take damage. Often you end up using a one way that moves you to the beginning of the level and you're force to waste 20 minutes to get back (no exaggeration here).

    Skill system is very basic and lacks any depth - might as well be none.

    Save system is annoying and the fact that there are no autosaves or save spots before major encounters, boss fights is annoying. Especially when it forces you to backtrack for 10-15 minutes and/or watch few minute long unskippable cutscenes.

    The characters and story is meh - I don't really care for anyone or the 'mission' of the protagonist.

    Loot is risiculous - only cosmetics so if you don't care, there is nothing to find in the game.

    Pieces of lore are empty and obvious - you find a dead body, inspect it and your character comments "someone died here". O rly?

DEVS I AM JUMPING AT A WALL, DO I REALLY HAVE TO CONFIRM THAT I WANT TO CLIMB IT?! and speaking of platforming and copying sekiro, you get the ability to swim in the same manner witch is a thing that is ridiculous to me because one of the first thing jedi's learn how to do is breath control letting them hold there breath for a great deal longer than a average person, the longest you underwater is maybe 2 minutes TWO MINUTES, my grandma with lung problem can hold her breath longer than that! your telling me a full gown ass man jedi can't hold his breath for at least 2 minutes!?
    Looks: the best thing is BD-1, cal looks super dumb and on top of that he gets two outfit: small poncho and large dumb dollar store ponchos, lightsaber parts are meh looking
    Lore: doesn't really fir with the current cannon, the writers just shoved as much from all the star wars movies and animated series into the game as they could, the whole dumb thing of the list force sensitivity children's names is dumb as hell because the information on it is already old and the kids are probably much older now
    the feel: its a jedi game....that doesn't make you feel like a jedi, your powers and saber can interact with practically nothing, worse yet when you hit something with it (a box, tree, jar so on) it just brakes apart, no satisfying lightsable blade sound or scorched marks. there was several points in the game in witch I was like WHY DO I EVEN HAVE A LIGHTSABER IF I CAN'T BURN THINGS WITH IT! as I was stuck in a puzzle that involved burning vines...a super heated blade made of energy....can't burn plants SUPER LAME. and then there is a part in witch you have to go around a crazy long obstacle corse TO GET AROUND A WOODEN BOX....couldn't cut the box, couldn't use the force to lift or move the box. it make me feel like I am playing as a guy who THINKS they are a jedi because they watched star wars episode 1 ONCE and then read a bunch of wiki articles.
    Play progression: doesn't really exist, in place of me feeling like I am getting stronger and leaning new lightsaber combos and getting new ways to use my force powers in combat, you get ONE useful move witch a baby could do (the overhead strike witch is one button push) and the better version of that and the rest is kind of garbage, even the extra lightsaber damage you get after you get all your powers back isn't a huge buff, barely noticed it matter of fact, most enemies died in maybe one less hit! and the force powers you get no new ways to use them just powered up versions of them, lets go over them really quick: force slow, dumb power, just gives you one free hit witch is pretty much useless. push: actually really useful as many areas have ledges and pushing dudes off is a quick and easy way to get rid of them. pull: kind of useless, there are one or two enemies that it works well on but it gets interrupted alot. and well that is all of them, pull gets a thing to pull everyone around you right next to you but that is super dumb as most of them will turn on there super armor and beat on you!
    in concussion, this game is just a bad and shameless rip off of sekrio: shadows die twice (and I compare it to that and not another souls born because of the similarities, has a main character you play as, is story based, has jumping and platforming, you only get the one weapon to use the whole game and you get new abilities and powers/tools to augment your play style) with a bunch of of stuff from the star wars universe, whoever gave this game a score over 50 is just a boldface lire and was paid to do so    … Expand

    The skill tree is bland and there is no skill that stands out as "wow I really want that ability because it makes me a god for a bit!"

    There is next to no reason to explore. The game is not hard enough to really warrant needing more health stims than 3-4 even on the hardest difficulty and besides that and hp/force increases, all exploration does is reward you with extremely bland cosmetics. No customization of your lightsaber actually has an effect on gameplay.

    This is pretty much just Dark Souls combat put on a Star Wars game and people are praising it even though everything else about it is shallow. The story is insanely bland. The characters are insanely bland.

    Calling it a metroidvania is extremely disingenuous considering you get like four abilities that allow you to access new areas. If you don't explore this game and are playing on a normal difficulty, it is a 12 hour game max. 20-25 hour game if you for some reason want to get all the cosmetics.

    It is pretty pathetic that this game is getting the praise that it is getting. If KOTOR came out today it would be a better game in every respect besides combat and graphics. It is a worse version of Sekiro in literally every way but under the Star Wars banner. The gameplay is nowhere near as fluid as Sekiro/Souls games. The saddest part is that it has potential. More content and character customization that had an effect on gameplay could make this game amazing (and going away from the Skywalker era). It shows that there is slight hope for Star Wars games but it is definitely not a good game. It is an all but empty game that makes you want more in terms of a Star Wars game and all of us Star Wars fans know we will have to wait maybe another 15 years for a game that is on the level of KOTOR.

    Lastly, I wanna call out the professional "critics". There is literally no way you could call this game a 9/10 objectively. It is absolutely pathetic and an insult to the gaming industry and every single fan that wants good quality games. You expect these insane reviews from people that should be biased but from actual news sources that should lack bias as much as possible?

If you're cool paying the same price for a game 1/3 of the length, with none of the thought and care put in by all means buy Fallen Order; otherwise put on the Mandalorian and just play something not by the embarrassment that is EA.… Expand

    Looks like the only reason this game gets such a prise is becose its first single player Star Wars game in decade. The fighiting is poor and buggy, terrain unfinished, no stelth, At times it plays like alfa of Tomb Rider with light saber.

    Forces you to play a basic tutorial.
    Pop in w/ camera changes.
    TAA forced by default [makes it blurry + ghosting], dynamic res causes stuttering, most of the graphics are bad. The voice acting is bad, the squeeker protaginist is so annoying and I hate the constant talking to himself. Combat is clunky, enemies cant follow you outside of their 10ft spawn zone. Dark Souls knock off.    Forces you to play a basic tutorial.

    While it is understandable that a single player game without microtransactions is an achievment in itself for EA Games, overall the game is terribly overrated. It is obvious that EA doesn't understand that graphics and motion capture with actors don't make a good game.

The impression i got    While it is understandable that a single player game without microtransactions is an achievment in itself for EA Games, overall the game is terribly overrated. It is obvious that EA doesn't understand that graphics and motion capture with actors don't make a good game.
    Graphics: While as i said, the game has some beautiful graphics, the world feels empty and boring. The impression i got while exploring the world was very similar to that from ME: Andromeda and DA: Inquisition. Not to mention, the game has some terrible optimization, which makes it run terribly on pc (admittedly, mine is not a high end one anymore, but has no problems running games like Witcher 3 or Sekiro on max), and that leads to my next point:
    Gameplay: As it has been pointed out seemingly everywhere, the game borrows heavily from Sekiro in terms of combat mechanics. However it is obvious, that either devs don't understand what makes it great, or don't care. Where Sekiro combat is fast-paced, aggresive and always highly entertaining experience, with longer battles turning into a breathtaking dance of deflects, dodges, jumps and cinematic deathblows, Fallen Order is slow and clunky mess. Enemies are mostly passive, all of them having a couple of simplistic moves. On harder difficulties they tried to counter it with **** parry timings and the classic "more damage = difficulty", with enemies dealing some ridiculous damage. "But wait", you say, "Dark Souls series and Sekiro also had enemies with lots of damage, who are hard to parry." True, but they slso had dharp and responsive controls allowing you, no matter the situation, to feel in control over your character. In Fallen Order, I feel like i am driving on ice with bald tires. Dodge has a very short distance, and all action besides classic R1 spam seem to have a cooldown after that. You just did a double-tap dodge roll to avoid a big attack? Now you have to wait, can't do the same for a second attack in a row. You just parried a first strike in combo? Sorry, can't parry the others like in Sekiro, you have to keep holding block for all the combo, allowing enemy to regain their posture and almost nullify the effect of parry. Sometimes, if you stagger the enemy, they will hit you right after stagger timer, skipping animation. If you die to an enemy, he will star glowing yellow showing he got your xp, kinda like Bloodborne did with eyes. The problem? Unblockable attacks are shown by enemy glowing red. Does red glow show over yellow? Nope. Get screwed if you try to block/parry that. If you managed to hit your enemy and get your xp back, game enters slow-mo for a few secs, disrupting flow of combat and often costing you a successful dodge/parry. Platforming parts often become annoying aswell, with controls often making it hard to hit that rope/hole you are jumping at and making you start the section over. Oh, and why did I say optimization leads to all these? It makes the already bad even worse.
    Story: So far, I haven't yet completed the game, as I am struggling to find desire to do so somewhere in the middle of a story. What I did see thus far seems to be a regular basic hero story. Characters are boring cliche with no attempt to bring them to life whatsoever. Same with dialogues, which appear to have been written by AI copying some of the most basic lines ever. Some story parts make no sense at all (small spoiler here: you get a second blade for your lightsaber by finding a randon table in a cave, pulling a welder from your pocket and just fixing it. No story behind it whatsoever). Lazy and unimaginative writing. A special place in my heart is reserved for regular enemies' lines which are downright cringy at times.
    Final thoughts: After playing this game seeing so much praise for it is surprising as nd revolting to me. While its true that its a singleplayer story star wars game finally, the words I find for it are: boring, messy, unfinished. I find it quite likely that publishers choice of engine, graphics focus and development time are what stopped it from being a good game, but as it stands, thats how it is. Is it a good game? No. Is it a bad game? Somewhat. Is it worth its price? HELL NO. Should I try it out? Sure. But make sure that you can refund it, or play at friend's copy. This game could be good, great even, but it is not. Slapping Star Wars textures over Sekiro would yield better results. EA doesn't understand that videogame should first of all be fun and enjoyable to play. My recommendation? Go play a better game, KOTOR for Star Wars, Sekiro for combat. Don't waste money on Fallen Order, and don't believe all the praise it gets.
    P.S. Almost forgot: there is no way to instantly travel between safe points or to your ship. Have fun backtracking half the game and remembering which path leads to this door you can now open.    … Expand

    I played it about 3 hours before I realized Im just wasting my time.

    - Its all about combat and its a lot of trial and error, like a Dark Souls or Sekiro with Star Wars paint job. - The previous point wouldnt be such a problem, if the saving mechanic wasnt just as frustrating as in those games. When you die, you even lose all your accumulated experience that is not a full level and all    I played it about 3 hours before I realized Im just wasting my time.

    - Its all about combat and its a lot of trial and error, like a Dark Souls or Sekiro with Star Wars paint job.
    - The previous point wouldnt be such a problem, if the saving mechanic wasnt just as frustrating as in those games. When you die, you even lose all your accumulated experience that is not a full level and all enemies respawn. You often die on trash mobs, because the controls are so unresponsive and stupid. As if they just want to troll people or only aim for masochistic people.
    The saving/meditation points dont feel like Star Wars Jedi at all. Superimposed BS.
    Oh yeah, reloading from a save point takes ages, even on my very fast SSD. I guess backtracking over half the map wasnt enough wasted time already...
    - Again, the previous point wouldnt be such a big deal if the controls were good on PC. But they arent. They are a horrible mess and the devs obviously knew that, because when you start the game for the first time they implore you to use a controller instead of mouse/keyboard. WTF?
    The tutorial for the controls is also only half-assed. In the beginning I didnt even know what to do, because the game didnt really tell me what I was supposed to do. Later it wont even tell you anymore at all what to do when there is a new ability you learn.
    - The maps seem very un-Star Wars like, the enemies, too.
    - The maps also are very lazily designed. I read there are only 4 and you have to unlock all the regions in them over time and go back and forth between them while you do that. So after a few hours you actually feel like you have seen the whole game already, and of course they get boring very quickly. On the first map, for example, I knew that there was still a lot to explore (I had 62% explored), but I was already tired of it and so went on to the next planet.
    - The graphics arent very optimized and look very cartooney at times. There are huge amounts of animation and clipping errors. And even the lip sync often is way off. Come on... this is an EA game... Or is this normal now since the Andromeda fiasco?
    - The story doesnt seem very appealing, the dialogues are only basic, there are a lot of illogical and not SW-canon things happening and when I saw that little alien that is your friend, I was instantly reminded of Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy. Not only how he looks, but also how he talks, and his personality. Even his voice sounds very similar to Rockets. A cheap and very blatant rip-off.

    Honestly, when I played this game, I really felt like playing a cheap or very old console game. Even the graphics arent that great, and as I said, the map design seems very limited, coupled with very low view distance/very poor detail in the distance, this probably made me feel like that about it.
    And of course the controls, which really feel like one of the first console ports ever made.

    A completely overrated game in pretty much every aspect.

    Played for 30 minutes. It's an ugly port from consoles with unskippable cut-scenes and clunky controls. There seems to be a big amount of bugs I encountered within my 30 minutes, like couldn't escape the inventory menu because my Esc key stopped responding. Had to alt+f4 and then after watching few minutes of start up scenes closed the game and uninstalled it. Game seems really boring tho.

Квай Гон этим мечом расплавил бронированную дверь метровой толщины). Никакой связи с Дарк соулс боевка не имеет. Есть эпизоды, когда ты скользишь вниз с ледяной горки, и эти моменты очень бесят, потому что управляемость в них нулевая, ты можешь развернуться и улететь в пропасть. Серьезно, вся игра кривая. Примерно начиная со второй трети игры ты бежишь мимо врагов, мимо кого это возможно, потому что драться нудно и неинтересно. Как вам экшн с фрустрирующей боевкой? А вот он. Уровни выстроены по принципу метроидвании, то есть на одной и той же локации ты будешь ходить много раз. А еще ты идешь такой на Кашиике к вождю вуки и понимаешь, что тебе надо назад весь Кашиик к своему кораблю идти. На каждую планету ты прилетишь несколько раз, и несколько раз будешь идти через всю карту назад. Локации - многоуровневые коридоры и платформы, иногда абсолютно непонятно как идти к цели. И самая вишенка - на планете Датамир есть самый бесячий саночный эпизод, ты катишься и должен два раза перепрыгнуть провалы, чуть занесет - улетаешь в пропость. Чисто первый Батлтодс. Прошел раза с седьмого, продвинулся далеко по уровню, а потом - деревня местных. Пробегаю привычно мимо врагов, потому что если штурмовиков хотя бы толчком Силы можно столкнуть в пропасть - бомжи с Датамира не спихиваются, у них иммунитет, с ними только нормально драться можно, а это чудовищно нудно. Кстати, бэкстэбов и контрударов, которые по трети здоровья врага сносят или ваншотят, как в Дарк Солс, здесь нет. Так вот, бегу я мимо этих бомжей, начинаю лезть по стенке (по некоторым стенкам можно лазать) - и тут мне прилетает выстрел из лука, я падаю вниз, но я не дохну - я приземляюсь на тот самый саночный этап. То есть мне надо скатиться вниз успешно и опять идти через половину карты в ту деревню. Игру удалил, допрошел на Ютубе. А еще на Датамире есть нежить. В Звездных Войнах. Короче, геймдизайнеру и сценаристу а так же их матерям, большой привет. Игра просто фрустрирует. Метроидвания с боевкой с закосом под Дарк Солс - это символ унылого игрового процесса. Финал сюжета - очевиден, так как события происходят между фильмами, то есть исход понятен с самого начала. Ознакомиться можно только на торренте, покупать - ни в коем случае… Expand

    - Big areas, no fast travel. As you progress, you get deeper into the map. You will also need to get back. In this game, you have to WALK all the way back to your ship. Granted, there are shortcuts but it is still tedious to find your way back since some areas are designed like mazes. Lack of fast travel also means that when you need to backtrack to a map because there is an area you havent explored, you need to walk all the way there.
    - Enemy spam at times. This usually wouldnt be a problem if the game was more responsive, but it isnt. Each enemy will make you stagger and the game loves to throw a bunch of close range enemies as well as long range enemies at you.
    - Camera. At times, it is not showing what you want to see, making the game even more difficult and obnoxious.    … Expand

In these 5 hours, there was only a single boss and on top of that there is no fast-travel, so after you finish your mission objective you have to go back all the way back on foot... Fantastic

    -Combat itself is overly simplified and boring especially near the start of the game; finisher moves are recycled A LOT

    -Mandatory anti-aliasing so useless for 4k+ setups without ini tweaks
    -Teeny tiny sickness inducing FoV that can't be changed without a .DLL injector (seriously? in 2019?). Breaks cutscenes if you fix
    -Humanoid characters cannot be dismembered/cut by LIGHTSABERS(!!!)
    -Ship sections are a massive waste of time and could have been cutscenes
    -Devs thought putting massively over-leveled, bulls**t enemies in starting areas was cool because Dark Souls did it, but the combat is so clunky and stiff that there's no satisfaction in it so this is just bad level design AND combat design compounding each other
    -Extremely linear but expects you to look at the map for long periods of time. There is no exploration, this is a linear action game that pretends to be open-world

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and I just do not like this game. I'm about 12 hours in, so perhaps the final stretch is where everything suddenly comes together, but the bright spots are few and far between. I think the controls feel really sloppy, Cal can't be trusted around ledges, and loves to fall off them during some attack animations. Wall running does not feel nearly as solid as it does in similar games. Combat is more irritating than fun; locking onto enemies is key, however it's easy to accidentally press R3 and toggle the lock, creating chaos in the middle of a fight. Special attack animations feel overused so they quickly lose their ooh! factor. The load times for respawns are abysmal by modern standards, and you'll sit staring at the little load icon, daring yourself to quit playing.
    Another minor gripe is that while BD-1 can scan defeated enemies for more info on them, this window of opportunity to get the prompt is preciously short, and simply running a few steps away can end it. Also, some enemies have area-of-effect damage upon death so getting a scan means taking damage. I'd rather BD-1 just autoscanned defeated enemies instead of adding this odd chore.
    While exploring is fun, especially finding secret bosses, the chests lose their luster once you realize there's only a cosmetic upgrade in there. I've found myself not bothering with chests I can see if it looks like it will take more than a minute to get there. Similarly, the bits of lore you find (Force echoes) feel skimpy and there isn't even art to accompany them. If I'm going to go through the work of finding them, it would be cool to get meatier lore.
    Also, the fact you have to backtrack to your ship to leave hampers exploration; often when I find a new area I'm reluctant to explore just due to the slog of getting back to my ship when it's time to leave. I'd rather there were certain call points you could reach and the ship would come pick you up. With that same system you could choose where to be dropped off when backtracking to previously explored planets (which you will do often).
    As for the story, it's fine, nothing amazing. We know about Order 66, and we know what happens after this story. The only bit I was interested to see was the stuff about the Nightsisters on Dothomir.
    Cal is a pretty dull hero, genuinely the most interesting thing about him is that he has red hair. To me the best character is BD-1, your little droid. The ship's captain, an alien (forgive me I don't know what species) makes the same mistake the prequels did by making him *too* human, he seems like a little New York guy, not a member of an alien race who lived a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
    Overall I can't recommend much about this game from either the Star Wars angle or just as an adventure game. I actually don't know if I'll bother to finish it, which is why I wrote this review now.    … Expand

    The story is good-ish but in the end I felt like the story was inconsequential. I can't say anything more without it being a spoiler. The story was just not that good. It seems good until you finish it, then you're like... oh. Well. Why did I play this then? I could sum the entire story into one paragraph and it would make you sad.

    The graphics for scenery are amazing. Characters and objects look like a 360 game though. The concept is good but fails to deliver on everything. Too many ideas, none of them landed. Customizing your lightsaber is neat but too limited. Customizing your character was a lack of trying.

    Negatives

    This game is 90% silence. Music rarely cuts in and you just feel bored.

    There are huge performance issues on every console. PC, regardless of your rig, has stuttering, lag, and frame drop issues. It's actually the most prominent topic of complaint. No matter what your settings, you'll have these issues.

    The bugs... oh the bugs. There are so many and they are so bad I started making a list. I count 36 major bugs so far. Some actually break the game so you can never progress. You have to start the game over from scratch. Some stop progression until you reset the game. There are physics problems, clipping, ragdoll, teleporting, and oh wow is combat busted. Things don't spawn when they should, enemies randomly spawn right on top of you, some enemies spawn or get knocked back into the sky and stay there shooting at you, I mean I can go on for a while. I hope you get the point.

    You can't flow between moves like attack, force, and block or dodge. You can't dodge or block while being attacked. Blocking doesn't actually work a lot of the time, you still take full damage on basic attacks. You can't chain moves. You can't attack or block an attack and use a force power. You can't dodge or block once you've been hit. Animations must fully complete before another action can start meaning you are constantly vulnerable in combat unless you're blocking, which I already said doesn't work a whole lot.

    Oh and the worst thing is when force powers just don't work. Like, they just don't work. It depletes your force, you do an animation, but nothing happens. Enemies can cancel your force moves too, all they have to do is hit you with some attack before you complete the animation and boom canceled. This goes for healing too. Having your heal canceled also consumes your healing packs but you don't heal. Fun huh?

    This game is almost unplayable. It's taken me hours just to make minor progress because all of the mechanics of the game are broken. I discovered half of the bugs I've reported in the first 3 hours of playing this game. I've played 16 hours and it feels like I've made no progress. Even on the easiest level you die over and over. It's a constant drain. You can get piled on by enemies and they can chain attacks so you can die before you even have a chance to react. It's worse than quick-time events, but those exist too and they're done terribly. They never work.

    I mentioned customization before. It's a neat idea but it's very limited in what parts you can get, what colors you can make your saber glow, and the costumes are terrible. You have a poncho. You can pick colors for that poncho. Have fun customizing your poncho! How about ship colors? You see the ship maybe 1% of the game but hey you can customize it. Think maybe BD-1 colors are great because there are so many? Well no, many of them overlap or just don't look good. Customization was a big fail here.

    Look, if the game launched working I'd give it an 8. It's very broken and possibly one of the most broken games EA has put out in a while and that's unacceptable. The story is the only thing that saves this from a 1. Seriously, it's that broken. I have no idea what people rating this a 10 are doing because they are definitely lying if they say the combat isn't garbage at the least.

    Now I know you want to be that pissy troll on the webs saying "git gud" but there is no "gud" when the game gives you instructions for how things work and they just don't work. When I'm targeting and facing an enemy but my force moves happen somewhere completely random. When enemies auto-target instantly without animation and melee you no matter where you are what's the point of dodging? Even that is broken. I honestly feel like I'm playing a low budget PS1 game with the quality and bug list here. I've nearly completed the game and the more I play the more bugs I find. Even basic animations don't load in some areas.

    I had more fun playing Jedi Academy. At least that one had more than basic force moves.    … Expand

    95% Boring climbing. Cameron's acting is the only highlight of this game. Totally overrated

    This game has a Star Wars minimum Disney Story. Only 5 Levels that you can Play Multiple times, because you get new Powers. There are only a few boring fights because the KI ist stupid.

    These aren't the kind of Star Wars you should have waited for all these years. EA pulled the same trick as the creators of Sonic movie - took into account the wishes of fans (single without lutboxes), and it was enough for the fanboys to put high marks on the game, while ignoring the bad quality of everything: the plot, animation, combat system, leveldesign and general technicalThese aren't the kind of Star Wars you should have waited for all these years.

As a result, it's the same garbage as force unleashed, just lucky enough to catch hype.… Expand

    Fallen Order is a must have for Star Wars fans and the best Star Wars game in years. Both literally and figuratively: the Force is strong with this one. [01/2020, p.42]

    Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order gives its best on PC, delivering an awesome experience in 4K and 60 frames per second with advanced visual effects.
