    A game that tries to implement hardcore combat elements from the dark souls series, without the intricate level designing. But with mediocre sluggish movement. Overrated and sub-par gameplay. Ok story.

    I love Star Wars, I hate this game. No game has made me curse as much as this. I play games to have fun, and this is the opposite of that. Kashyyyk in particular. Find your way around, but we aren't gong to point you or give you any direction, and oh by the way there are invincible, lightsaber immune plants chasing you, so GO FAST.

    This game is not for anyone that likes to play a game to relax or play casually. If you look on forums for tips the entirety of their response is "git gud". Wish I could get a refund.    … Expand

System od meditation is so stupid, the enemies are respawning, really? Like Far Cry 2. The upgrades are boring, nothing new or special, like in milions of other games. But first of all, is that a Star Wars? The universum with the force and lightsabers? I can't even throw my saber into enemies. I can't pick up the stormtroopers by my force and throw them out. I can't do anything I want to do in Star Wars game. Instead of that, I can... slow down a propeller or some strange machines just to go through them? I'm so disappointed with this game. I won't waste anymore minute for this, The old grandpa, Star Wars The Force Unleashed is much much better.… Expand

    Another game who want to be a copy of a DarkSouls game. very broken mechanics, very weak platform levels. even the movements are a copy of the darksouls animations. what a shame.

    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.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very boring, its mostly only jumping on the walls... Tomb Raider/Assassins Creed copy with a lightsaber (which isnt powerful at all here) only like 3 force powers, boring story, no SW feel etc. Just go play Jedi Academy guys, thats a real SW game. The only good thing i can say about this game is the graphics. Sad i was hyped for this.… Expand

    This game looks beautiful and it feels very Star Wars like. I was excited for it coming to PC. Little did I know it's going to be an unoptimized mess.

    The gameplay is lacking. Sekiro did it better and this is just a sad clone of souls-like games. it doesn't feel smooth when controlling the character. It's hard to believe it's the same Respawn that made Titanfall.

    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 could forgive the obviously bad level design, that makes no sense if this was an actual universe, if the story was brilliant but nothing in this game is exceptional.

    It should have been better. SW fans deserve better but sadly things are getting worse.    … Expand

    A graceful 1v1 combat engine where you fight swarms of button mashers who kick you while you're down. The easily interruptible heal action make the now unfluid combat even less so. The treasure chests throughout are as exciting as opening junk mail.

    This game is very overrated. Sure some things are done well. Like graphics, sounds, characters. However most of the game mechanics are extremely stupid and poorly done. It feels like you are randomly banging your head against a wall until you find the right spot.

    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.
