    In concept a Star Wars game with souls-like gameplay sounds great, and it mostly is, but it feels like everything else is held back as a result. The story, world, and overall content just don't do enough for me, and the gameplay isn't good enough to justify it.

    A very fun game with great combat physics and a terrific storyline. I dislike that the game isn't quite open world is a bit too linear for my tastes

    The plot is interesting, and Cal's character is attractive and fun to play. The difficulty curve (if you can call it that way) is good, and progressing while discovering your ancient powers is definitely rewarding. Opponents benefits from many detailed patterns and skins as the characters design appear to be one of the most gorgeous point about this game (not especially for Cere though). Special thanks for the Bounty Hunters here and there! 'Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order' is beautiful and you will never realize, except for this game, that five planets are too few to explore. The lore and the universe are fully respected. It is a pleasure to evolve in such a colourful, complex and varied worlds. The main opponents (the Empire) are amazingly represented and evoke huge powers. The music and soundesign are gorgeous. The game offers diverse difficulty levels. It feels like being a game held by strong ambitions and all things considered, well executed.

    On the other hand, there are many buggy incomprehensions as when Cal's lightsaber goes through the environment without any damage (referring to the workbench as well as other structures or objects). This goes with many collision and texture bugs and walls you can go through as you get closer to the borders of the maps. Things are made to look good when they are far away, don't try to interact with what you see in the distance. There are way too many collectibles for such a short game (the main story lasts for something like 15 hours) and you are not even rewarded for gathering all the useless objects around the whole galaxy (these are just skins and dreadful paintings). Don't fall into the trap of the deuxe version as I did because wow, this is a void of content. The cutscenes are numerous and sadly unskippable. If they do bring some depth to the story they also are full of conveniences and pathetic dialogues. If, as I've said, planets are fun to explore, they're much less fun to navigate using the mini-map, which is a real nightmare. I can't see how they could have done it better though but it still remains very hard to use properly. And why not using fast travels? Aren't the camps made to do that? The game takes years to launch, as well as going from a planet to another: don't expect to play for less than 20 minutes on this one. But in the end it is not worse than this last inconvenient: you have to use the EA launcher AND be connected to the internet in order to play, even if you have the game (as me) only on Steam! I didn't count the number of times I had to restart my PC just because the EA launcher didn't let me play... Such a mess.    … Expand

    * Multi-GPU support which functions spectacularly - able to run the game in 4k / 60fps with (2) 1080 Ti cards and the game runs absolutely fantastic with beautiful visuals and smooth performance.
    * - there's a point in the game where you have to climb an AT-AT Imperial Walker and that is a pretty neat mission. They did a really nice job rendering the Walker itself as well as just the whole scene. It was a neat way to change up the pace of the game while capturing the accuracy of the Star Wars assets like the AT-AT Walker.
    * Can upgrade to a dual bladed light saber like Darth Maul uses in Episode 1. Very cool combat animations with it.
    * The final boss fight is very well done. I won't spoil any of it with details, just will say it's very well done and true to the lore, the devs did a nice job with it.

    Cons:

    * Combat is very difficult and unforgiving. I had to play most boss fights on easy, and I'm generally pretty good at combat in these types of games.
    * Further building on the combat - I've seen some references on the Steam store page compare some of the combat to "Dark Souls" which IMO is not a favorable comparison - games where you have to die a bunch of times to figure out what you're supposed to do is not something I'd ever enjoy or recommend as it kills immersion. Teach me how to use the combat system and then let me become a master at it - this game does go over-the-top in some areas where you will face an opponent who you have to die a time or two to learn their moves which is an absolute immersion killer.
    * Seems to be no way to really descend if you want to climb down somewhere - just have to jump and pray you don't die.
    * A lot of instances during the story flow where Cal will just fall to his death - many of these instances are sort of like QTEs where you have to jump in or at a specific spot with exact precision while moving at high speed in order to not die which is a bit of an immersion killer as you cannot always see where you're going and it's a lot of guesswork. This is another situation that I'd say crushes immersion because you have to constantly die and try again in order to know where to go.
    * Like other similar games with similar mechanics, a lot of collectibles will be located in locations early in the game where you can't get to them, forcing you to have to backtrack - I always find this mechanic to be a bit tedious.
    * EA's Origin Client as a requirement even on Steam - this is the key reason I won't buy a personal copy of this game yet. If they remove the Origin Client requirement I'll buy it immediately on Steam.
    * Character development is kinda "meh". Cal is an ok character, but a lot of the people he meets along the way aren't really developed all that well individually or in regard to their relationships with Cal - not saying it's awful, but it could have been done a LOT better as a lot is left up to assumption - for example he'll have only a handful of actual conversations with certain people, if that, but later in the game certain conversations will imply he's really close buddies with those people - overall in this regard it just makes the game's relationships with each other and the protagonist not feel all that thoroughly developed when compared with a game like say The Witcher.
    * Jumping system as far as navigation is pretty bad. Lots of deaths from simply my character not jumping very far on the first try, etc. in areas where you're having to jump through the trees and land exactly right when it's tough to land at all if your character doesn't jump far enough - it's just like an aforementioned bullet point where the movement system is just too unforgiving.
    * Too much "exploring" and just navigating the maps like Tomb Raider...I didn't mind that in Tomb Raider because that's the point, but this game needs a LOT more combat and less just wandering around - because of these types of mechanics, stretches of the game can be very boring.

    Other Commentary: I'd like to get another one of these games, and hopefully some of the cons will be addressed. Would love a smoother combat system with bette responses and parrying precision while not making it so difficult that you have to die at least once every boss fight in order to learn the enemy's moves. I'd also like to see, if they do a future game with Cal Kestis, him doing his thing in full Jedi robes as he never gets them in this game as they are on the run for most of the game to deal with their mission and the Jedi are on the run anyway. It would just be cool to be wearing a Jedi robe like Obi Wan & Anakin while fighting with a light saber.

    Not really a bad game but gets repetitive quite soon and the rpg system isnt very good. On the other hand the story is really good i think it was the major thing that kept me going.

    The gameplay is good, but the maps and scenarios are very tedious, it's very boring to go through the same place several times. They recycle a lot the maps. The combat is not up to the level of the game. The best thing is the graphics, but I think I won't finish it because of the laziness of going through the same maps.

    The shoved the clunkyness of Gears of War into Bloodborne, and the result is frustrating. It seems impossible to find any rhythm in combat, you'll hear that alot. Bloodborne is my 2nd best game of all time, behind only The Ocarina of Time. There is some fantastic presentation here and some fun exploring, but even turning down the difficulty to story mode, it felt like a chore.

    The gameplay in general is terrible. Where do I go? Am I supposed to jump off this cliff? Nope. Why can I climb this wall, but I can't climb other walls? It's an inconsistent, bungled mess. The whole "where am I supposed to go?" thing would be fine if the game had a functional map, but the game's map might be the very worst designed map in any video game ever made in the history of video games. Who designed this? Yuck.

    LONG unskippable cut scenes.

    Jedi: Fallen Order is what happens when a big-budget game studio throws millions of dollars at a game. It has no soul. It has no originality. I can just imagine the game developers... "finished the level boss." Nobody cared.

    The first of these is really the biggest shame frankly. A dark side path wouldn't just give you this second gameplay option. It also forces your companions to have to address how you are changing as a character. So it's an opportunity to explore the personality of these companions more.

    the visuals are stunning I love how this game looks, they translated characters from clone wars to this game well.

    COMBAT
    The combat is frustrating. You have to block and dodge like 4 people while trying to focus on one enemy. you get hit multiple times and die. even if you win you don't heal, and will likely die very soon after that. And with there being so few saves during the mission, you must travel to the same place over, and over, and over again. And the AI is very dumb and only has a certain radius before being reset.

    CONTROLS
    You can tell that this game was not meant for the PC. Pc controls are just outrageously bad. If you connect a controller they are tolerable, but all in all mediocre.

    STORY
    the story ties in really well with clone wars, rebels, and revenge of the sith, and does decently well on its own. the characters are....alright.

    MOVEMENT
    this may not be a regular subject but I just had to bring this to attention. Cal, the character you play feels SO SLOW. when he runs,climbs,rolls,gets up,crawls,squeezes through spaces. He just isn't exciting to play as.

    WORTH THE PRICE?
    no, it is not worth its price...now. I say if you bump the price down to at most 35, it would be worth it. And don't even think about getting the deluxe edition unless it's on sale for below $20. It's just cosmetics.

The voice acting is overall great, with the weak point being the main character, and the facial capture/animations are outstanding. The nuance of facial and body language really stands out, perhaps better than any other game in my recent memory save RDR2.

    The dialogue and writing, however, are painful. Sometimes it's just bad, other times it seems clear the game was cut down from something more ambitious. There are dialogue exchanges where the characters are making reference to something you've never been introduced to, and maybe you'll get a small journal entry later to halfway fill you in.

    The combat mechanics are clunky and stamina drains way, way too fast. The game is more enjoyable on lower difficulty simply for the lack of want to throw something at the screen. It feels like the game doesn't respect it's own rules and is meant to be punishing whether you play correctly or not. This misses the point of a souls-like to me, which is the satisfaction that comes from mastering combat.

    The platforming and puzzles didn't cause issues for me, and provided a nice change of pace without being overbearing.

    The story. Ugh. So, so bad. Your whole quest is meaningless, but this was pre-ordained because they tried to go in a direction that the films wouldn't have supported. I won't say more to avoid spoilers, just that the ending was a huge let down. And cheesy. But this falls into the early note about the writing. It's truly painful.

    Overall, it's a decent SW game and a welcome return to playing as a Jedi in a single-player game (but for real, grow a pair and bring back dismemberment LucasArts). Satisfied that I finally got around to playing it. Can't say I'll ever play it again or recommend it to anyone though.    … Expand

You only get push, pull, and slow and you can use 3 or 4 force powers before your meter is drained and until you get the stim restore ability near the end of the game it's basically impossible to get back. I hope you like mashing X because that's the only thing you can do without force.

    Mediocre combat, platforming, exploration, and a near lack of anything RPG wise to make up for that makes this a bland and boring experience. It feels like a half-baked, made-by-committee game. Essentially it's Dark Souls Uncharted, but Star Wars and bad. The game might be worth $10 if you really love Star Wars or mediocre action adventure games.    … Expand

    Very entertaining, good level of difficulty, beautiful scenarios and a pleasure to explore - even if it gets just a tiny bit repetitive.
    Definitely not groundbreaking but it's a decent game, good for one run through.

    Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is a Soulslike Metriodvania action game. You play as Kal Kestis, a former Padawan (Jedi apprentice) who has been in hiding from the despotic Galactic Empire for years. When he is forced to use his psychic Force powers to save the life of a coworker, he is pursued by the Imperial Inquisitors, only to be rescued by a couple of rebels with the goal of resurrectingStar Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is a Soulslike Metriodvania action game. You play as Kal Kestis, a former Padawan (Jedi apprentice) who has been in hiding from the despotic Galactic Empire for years. When he is forced to use his psychic Force powers to save the life of a coworker, he is pursued by the Imperial Inquisitors, only to be rescued by a couple of rebels with the goal of resurrecting the Jedi Order. To do so, they must acquire a Jedi holocron, a device that contains a list of Force-sensitive children who could be recruited and trained into Jedi. But before they can forge a new future, the remnants of the Jedi order must first face the past.

    The plot of this game is nicely self-contained, but also suffers from a significant flaw - this game is set between the prequels and the original trilogy, so anyone who has seen the movies knows that they will fail in their quest to resurrect the Jedi Order. Worse, the game itself deliberately turns itself into a shaggy dog story in many ways, with a character who joins your crew later in the game outright stating that if the characters hadn't even bothered trying with their main quest that things arguably would have gone better, and it is hard to disagree with them, at least as far as their main objective goes.

    That said, the characters themselves do undergo some development, most notably the two Jedi, both of whom are still dealing with the trauma of the destruction of the Jedi Order and their personal guilt in not being able to protect those closest to them. Sadly, two of the other cast members don't really undergo much meaningful development – one simply opening up a little bit, but not really getting a ton of development beyond “he used to gamble but he’s better now” – while the last one only shows up very near to the end.

    Gameplay wise, the core combat works quite well. Kal has a reasonable set of telekinetic and combat-based Force powers that expand over time, and while they are rather simple they work well enough in the Metroidvania style and are mostly satisfying to use on enemies. Slowing down enemies, grabbing them with your Force powers, shoving them off ledges, making fancy attacks with your lightsaber – these all are fairly standard, but they work well enough, and you can pull or push environmental objects or slow down rapidly moving things to enable traversal.

    Ironically, the game's biggest letdown is the lightsaber itself. While there is some nice variety in the swings and the animations are solid, the actual fighting with it feels wimpy. In the movies, these are deadly weapons, but in the game, it is basically just a normal video game sword. The hits with it don't really give that deadly destructive feel, and the death animations greatly downplay the whole "chopping people up" aspect (though the kills on some animals do feature bifurcation and similar). Most enemies can take multiple shots, and while the whole beam ricochet thing remains, a lot of the actual attacks with it feel lackluster. It also doesn’t do the cool sort of environmental destruction that you see in the movies, like using it to cut through or melt doors – while the swipes will inconsistently leave molten material on the walls in the place of standard “cuts”, there’s no environmental destruction, and your lightsaber will periodically clip through objects and do nothing.

    That said, it does work well enough from a mechanical point of view, at least at first.

    This gets into the other problem with the game: repetition.

    You go to almost all of the planets you visit at least twice due to backtracking during the plot, and probably three times to collect everything and explore some of the areas you couldn’t get to before. The planets are neat enough the first time, but they often don’t have as much new to show you the second time through, and the Imperial troops that show up everywhere, while having some diversity (there’s 16 imperial enemy types, though some are just stronger versions of weaker ones), do end up being a bit repetitive by the end, as the game doesn’t really have enough tricks to throw at you.

    The same applies to the terrain – while it looks different outwardly, it ends up following a small number of tropes over and over, making the exploration feel a bit less exciting once you realize it is mostly the same thing, albeit with attractive skins. The first few worlds feel fairly fresh, but by the time you get to the Wookie planet of Kashyyyk, you’ve seen almost all of what the game has to show you. It doesn’t help that most of the Metroidvania-esque upgrades aren’t particularly interesting environmentally outside of a small number of simple puzzle rooms.

    It doesn't help that there's no fast travel.

    Overall, If you are in the market for a Star Wars game where you play as a Jedi, this is likely something you’ll enjoy, but it is decent, not amazing.    … Expand

    This game is both disappointing and somehow at the same time managed to exceed everyones expectations. I think the latter achievement can be explained by the fact that nobody expected an EA published Star Wars game in 2020 to not be an incompetent cash grab. That it isn't.

I think the latter achievement can be explained by the fact that nobody expected an EA published Star Wars game in 2020 to not be an incompetent cash grab. That it isn't.

    I still feel like this game could've been so much more. The graphics are its best quality, stunning in places. The performance of the game and the technical aspects leave a lot to be desired however. The game, to this day, does not run very well even on extremely modern hardware (in my case, a 3080). This is forgivable however, because the game is far far away from being unplayable.

    It's very playable, and at times can be a challenging and satisfying experience. That being said, the problem lies with how safe it all feels. The game doesn't really manage to do anything all that original, and has quite obviously taken a lot of inspiration from other game formula that are already tried and tested and proven to work. This isnt inherently a bad thing, in fact, i attribute this to be the main reason the game isn't a failure.

    While the game is made better by its copied ideas and gameplay loop, it also ends up feeling extremely safe because of it. The game does absolutely nothing in the way of breaking new ground or creating an original experience. It suffers because of this.

    So while the inspirations the devs have taken into account when designing the game certainly help keep it from being a bad game, they also are its biggest problem. Technically, this game is better on almost every level when compared to The Force Unleashed, yet, i had more fun playing through TFU. This game has far more depth than TFU, and yet i was more interested in the main character in the latter game.

    This is telling of how safe this game has played it. Where TFU was extremely experimental and arguably unfinished in places, it was also extremely fun and succeeded in fulfilling the power fantasy a lot more than Fallen Order has.

    "Playing it safe" applies to Fallen Order in more ways than just game design. Although it may seem like a small detail, the lack of dismemberment in the game is extremely revealing and telling of just how safe this game needed to be. It shows that the creators of the game are willing to sacrifice something that has been part of the franchise and something that is logical, just to achieve a wider audience. They chose to hurt the gameplay just for more sales. This sucks.

    Again, the dismemberment point is seemingly small and inconsequential to some people, but when you consider it in the grand scheme of things, it becomes a much bigger problem than when taken at face value. The power fantasy is suddenly extremely damaged, lightsaber feels like you're beating people with a powerful stick rather than a white hot futuristic weapon. There are more domino effects that come of this safe decision. I wont get into them here.

    After TFU, the force powers here feel extremely underwhelming and while i understand that TFU is no longer canon and was definitely OTT, i feel like Fallen Order could definitely have had a little more fun with its force powers.

    In conclusion, all of this adds up to a very competent and deliberate package. A laser precise design, crafted to be experienced just how they want you to experience it.

    I could go on for hours about how safe every aspect of the game is, up until the end when something actually fun and cool finally happens. But ive already written enough..

    Safe is the best word i can think of when describing the game, and its the one i will stick with.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow, EA managed to make a decent game, it wasn't that hard, right EA?

    Constant freezes during the start of most cutscenes. One hour the game crashed so badly, that I had to restart it because the screen did not thaw. This is a problem with the game that has existed since its launch and even after playing after 1 year (11/14/2020), it is still 100% present. In addition to several bugs (I expected a lot more actually). And I still had 1 crash.

    The story has some interesting aspects, but in general I didn't like it very much. I liked her plot, but the way it develops is kind of bad. The prologue is cool. Then the story takes a boring turn. Until I reach the part that has the light twist of Cere Junda's padawan, then the story goes on more or less. And the ending was very good. Cal's development (with his master), his interaction with Trilla and Cere's sub-involvement generated some interesting parts. Cal was developed, but for me it was very fast, he was from a crybaby (when the crystal breaks), to a respectful Jedi in a snap. The part of the game that occurs when Cal opens the 'safe' to get the holocron (from the future and the dark side) is very good, her direction is very interesting.

    The combat I thought was a little too simple, consequently this leaves the skill tree to be desired. A mix of Sekiro, Dark Souls and some elements of God of War. Especially in the boss fights, the guys were very inspired by Sekiro. The submissions and their diversity are both reasonable, except for one detail: when you unlock the double lightsaber, Cal simply closes it and makes the same submissions, very lazy. The double sabers had their potential harmed, since there is no 'style of their own', only a few combos. I scored on the Jedi Master (Hard) difficulty and I liked the challenges in general in spite of certain things that were unbalanced.

    The climbing system has some defects, to jump on a curved surface Cal jumps out and having to press the button to hold on is totally unnecessary.

    The relationship of the 3 companions was very weak. And Nightsister Merrin didn’t have much time to develop so I don’t blame the script, but the way it went with us was convincing.

    The graphics are good. The game design is very neat. Very good level design too. The game is fraught with technical problems. When he is running well, everything is great but out of nowhere he gives some absurd frozen. The animation of opening chests under water does not make sense. Finished the budget with the physics of Cal's hair, at least it was pretty cool.

    I will have to praise something that is very common for most games but not for EA, the game is full of free cosmetics. Although I find all the poncho ugly except the standard jacket there, the customization of the lightsaber pays off.

    Large loadigs even on the PC.

    Honestly it is difficult to recommend this game with the constant freezes, maybe it is worth the wait, but if you just want to feel like a bad Jedi and go for the gameplay feel free.    … Expand

    SOMETHING IN BETWEEN:
    / Combat is mediocre at best. I was thrilled by those 'Souls-like' tags which were really misleading. Yes, the combat can be challenging if playing on highest difficulty. No, there's nothing more soulsike in this game. The very essence of Souls-games, character building, is missing completely. Also some of the enemies are a tad hard to read and their attack animations a bit weird.

    CONS:
    - Story was kinda boring and very predictable. I barely attached to any of the characters.
    - Performance issues

    I hadn't experienced any good Star Wars game since The Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 and this seemed to have some serious potential. Especially after seeing it's gameplay being described as 'Souls-like' I was really hyped. Sadly it failed to deliver and it turned out to be more Tomb Raider than Dark Souls. Souls-likedness was really far fetched in my opinion, as the only thing even relatively close to Souls were the challenging combat. The very essence of Souls-games, the character building, was missing completely. Yeah, you do earn experience from combat which you'll use to unlock new abilities for combat. You'll end up unlocking them all by the end of the game though, so there's literally no different builds to play with. Also all the loot in the game is cosmetic which you'll barely even see (lightsaber hilt, your droid and your ship). Like really?

    Game wasn't all around bad as it had really gorgeous graphics. On the downside the game had some random performance issues even after tinkering with my graphics settings for quite a while. Also the music was brilliant, which together with the great visuals really set up the good atmosphere for a Star Wars game.

    I don't even have too much to say about the story. It was mediocre and very predictable. I could tell how the story is gonna end even before entering the final area. Also I hardly attached to any of the characters.

    For me this game felt like it was wasted potential. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it but I think it could've been miles better if they took a different approach in designing this game. Don't pay the full price. This might appeal to you if you're a fan of the SW universe or if you like Tomb Raider -like cinematic games with little emphasis on depth of the gameplay. I might need to re-play Knights of the Old Republic to get my fix of a great Star Wars -game.    … Expand

    Pain in the ass startup time. Even on an SSD the startup times and checkpoint loading times are frustratingly long. There are also long elevator rides where you're just standing there for 30 seconds...

    Do not like the checkpoint/save method. It's tedious. The boxes take annoying long to open. His repetitive speech to his robot companion is annoying.

    In most fights you can't attack, block, and dodge quick enough. Your character is extremely slow to respond. Trying to make up for those deficits by using the force isn't viable or enjoyable. You're supposed to be a Jedi, yet your character is slower than a normal person. You can hit all the right buttons but it seems like a majority of the time they don't result in your character taking the corresponding action, and you just have to sit there and roll your eyes while he dies and you have to do it all over again. Because of this, I highly recommend using a trainer with this game - even just for unlimited force.

    Even then I came across an enemy that is designed to be defeated by the force, and which I previously defeated many times, yet this time for some reason is totally immune.

    Also, you can't interrupt most enemy attacks by hitting them, but they can interrupt yours by hitting you.

    Very glad they have a variety of difficulty levels to choose from, which includes making blocking timings less important. But even on the lower difficulties they still have annoying bosses that take forever to kill, where you pretty much get one attack and then have to dodge 3-4 attacks/times, attack once, dodge 3-4 times, repeat 10+ times till the boss is dead. That's so annoying.

    There are some areas where only a really specific and precise movement combination will get you past the point. But it can be so ambiguous and exact that it can leave you confused about what you're even supposed to do, and thus have to look up a playthrough to watch what you're supposed to do.

    I like the general movement idea. It's similar to Titanfall 2, and some other games. Just worse implementation.

    They did a pretty good job with the map. Though it can get overwhelming once you explore enough of it. Also, it's the type of game where there are places and things you can't access till later on, and you have to remember where they are because they're not marked on your map. That's terrible IMO. You also can't open your map when underwater, so you have to constantly get to the surface/land then back down again. Or just not explore underwater.

    You have to run back through the same areas multiple times, and even though some shortcuts are opened afterwards they're not short enough. Also, there are nonobvious triggers, such as stepping onto an elevator, that unlock shortcuts. And if you don't know about that particular unlock then you have to travel back a super long way when you revisit the area. Due to this issue, and others that I've listed, I find it necessary to use a video walkthrough for this game, which I really don't like, since it breaks immersion.

    There are many times where something seems like it's not doable or not meant to be done yet, but there actually is a very esoteric method of doing it that you would have to watch a playthrough to learn how.

    It seems to be designed around console/controller use. Even though it's playable with KB&M there are still a few annoying and unpolished things, including the mouse movement and menu.

    There are times where you have to grab things and accurately throw them long distances, yet it give you no way to aim them. So you have to do it over and over every time. Sometimes it's part of a puzzle, which makes it even worse, since you have to try something a dozen times just to see if it's what you're supposed to do or not. Then it might turn out in the end that it was only to unlock some useless skin.

    There are so many instances where the mechanics of the game simply don't work. IE: you're supposed to pull a rope toward you to swing on, but it just doesn't work, and you fall to your death. Your character is supposed to grab onto a ledge, but doesn't, and you fall down a level and have to run all the way back. You press a "use the force" button and it does nothing. You slow an enemy, get behind them, then attack them and they still hit you. You're pressing a key to do whatever, but it doesn't register.

    Graphics to FPS cost ratio isn't great. There's something similar to a fog that degrades the visuals.

    Bizarrely, and seemingly incredibly lazily, they only have people voice the first few sentences of things, and then make you read the rest. And even then, you can't simply listen to the first part and read the 2nd part because the option to open the text is timed, so by the time the voice is done the option will be gone.    … Expand

Sadly though, as soon as they appear they are gone, leaving holes in the game and you end up wondering what was the point...The cynic knows the answer to this and that is the point was to be able to put them in the trailer for the game...
    Then the ideas run out...the game is padded out by Tombraider/Uncharted/Assassins Creed-esque climbing and platforming around a limited number of predefined levels across 4 different planets (5 if you include the short final level. One planet is so not Star Wars that you wonder what game you're playing! And some of the interesting characters you enroll on your journey are not used in the game and relegated to just mere cameos.
    Just as the story is getting good again ...Bam! it's over so abruptly that you watch the credits roll in disbelief.
    Game mechanics are ok, a bit too binary and not as smooth as Assasins Creed or Horizon Zero Dawn but passable all the same. Camera angles can be sloppy but it's not often and the animations are average except the lightsaber fighting which is EXCELLENT!
    Overall, you are left with the same old feeling that EA directed the studio to make a game on the cheap, "but must look great on trailers and the first hour must be good for early reviewers".
    The game is ultimately shallow, a waste of the IP and the assets that a Star Wars license provides. 5/10    … Expand

    El juego tiene referentes muy claros y el más obvio es Dark Souls, y he de decir que en combate casa perfectamente, las peleas entre jedis son impresionantes y muy cinemáticas, mientras que contra criaturas y otros seres vivos molaría pulir lo más, ya que aveces se siente extraño.

    En combate me alegro que hayan tomado como referente a Dark Souls, pero el sistema de enemigos y "hogueras".... creo sinceramente que no pega nada con Star Wars, ni con el ritmo de aventura que lleva el juego al estilo Uncharted, te saca mucho de la experiencia que los enemigos simplemente hagan POP en sus respectivos sitios al levantarte de meditar.

    Más allá de gameplay hay que decir que la historia esta bastante bien, es interesante, los personajes son buenos, con trasfondo y en general no hay ninguno que no tenga importancia o no sientas interés por él, no es nada del otro mundo pero es bastante entretenida.

    En resumen me parece un buen título y espero que EA siga apostando por los singleplayer como este, y si su idea es hacer una saga de este título hay que decir que tienen muuuucho que mejorar, pero como un inicio esta bastante bien.    … Expand

    after playing it for 5 to 6 hours I came to conclusion that this game wasn't worth it to play any further.

    - it has good graphics, animations, voice acting etc. but that doesn't make it a good game - too much backtracking for its own good - enemies respawn immediately if you die. It would be okay if they respawned after you revisit the planet not after you die. - often times    after playing it for 5 to 6 hours I came to conclusion that this game wasn't worth it to play any further.

    - too much idiotic puzzles relying on trial & error with absolutely 0 hints what to do. Its like a puzzle & maze game.

    - Theres a path where you can get stuck easily. You have to slide the ice down then jump and walk on the 2 walls and catch the rope that is so far away that I managed only to do it a single time after maybe 30 attempts to catch that stupid rope.

    - level design is subpar as often time you would think that some places & paths are reachable or accessible only for you to fall into the abyss.

    - You'll be spending most of your time just trying to figure out where to go, and what are you supposed to be doing.

    - whats the point of lightsaber customization apart from color if you can't even see it while playing.

    - You will die a lot especially in boss battles and those most deaths feel cheap unlike in Dark Souls

    - No beheading or dismemberment of stormtroopers.

    - Jedi abilities feel limited. Theres only so much times you will use until you get tired of it.

    - artificial blockers you can't get past until later in the game because you don't have double jump or whatever the ****    … Expand

    This review is hard to write, because while I love Star Wars, I don't love this game.

    My friends played this game and loved it, and once the price dipped below $30, I bit. So far I've played about 5 hours, and for now at least, I'm done. No more, and good riddance. Why so?

    In many ways, it is! The graphics are good (not amazing, but not worse than say, the Witcher w/o mods or patches). The story is, from what I've got so far, pretty fun and solid. The characters are interesting both visually and as people. But the gameplay... oh, the gameplay!

    For me, the combat is essentially fine, even on Jedi Master. It's hard, but that's OK. What's not OK? I've hit the block button and had nothing happen repeatedly, leading to a one-shot kill. I've walked up to a pipe to traverse a gorge and had Cal walk off the edge of the cliff, sometimes catching the pipe, sometimes plunging helplessly to my doom. And I've dodged attacks only to be hit by them. In general, the combat system feels clunky and imprecise to me. I've used special attacks only to whiff because I wasn't locked on to a target, etc. That's on me, but in general, it feels unresponsive and like I'm walking with my boots stuck in the mud.

    And nevertheless, in general I enjoy the combat alright - leaving aside the non-registered button-presses and the like, it's do-able. Worse than some, better than others. But the first thing that really steamed me was the hard reset to the last save point on death. Sometimes, this point would be mere seconds away from where I died, so no problem. But often, it would be several areas away. On death, this would not only necessitate a tedious slog across ground I've already covered, but up to 30 seconds or more of loading. Usually around 20 seconds, and this from an m.2 SSD. Death, wait. Death, wait. Death, wait. This was less pleasant. A game can be difficult, but preferably not tedious, and for me, this was very tedious indeed. Now that I advanced a bit and gained some new abilities and more health, I'm doing much better, but I'm finding the most effective strategies are some combination of dash in and slash, block the almost universal immediate counterattack, then roll and kick/stun to attack until dead. Not much thinking, but it's working for me. I was hoping for a little more strategic depth and thought.

    The next annoyance is the platforming, including in particular the hill-sliding sections. For starters, sprinting doesn't seem to add much distance to your jump, which is strange. Second, which involves the level design component of platforming, it's hard to tell which things can be interacted with and which not. The wall-running is well-marked, but many boxes and ledges that should be climbable or Cal should be able to grasp he simply can't because he's not supposed to. Trust me, after playing a game like Middle Earth: Shadow of War or Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, I think you'd agree the traversal mechanics, and even the feel of them is more pleasant and positive. I had more trouble judging distance of jumps and direction, and I've had more missed jumps in this game than any other game in memory, including some of the more challenging ones like the original Mario Bros. Rarely in Assassin's Creed have I just missed a ledge on a side-jump, but here it's happened more than I'd like to admit. It's VERY sensitive to your position and jump range.

    All of this is unpleasant, but then I entered sliding hell. One portion of a planet forces you on a long, twisting slide coupled with jumps to ropes between sections of slide. Simple? It should be - left joy con and jump is all you can do, you can't even slow yourself or speed up as far as I can tell. Sometimes the first turn would simply throw me off. Other times, I'd jump to catch a rope, but miss it by anywhere from 90 to 10 degrees. Sometimes I missed the rope, but my character caught it, surprising me. After about 20 runs, I somehow made it, and the main problem is this: I don't feel like I learned anything, or got better. It might take me another 20 runs until I accidentally succeed. Mercifully, when falling, they plunk you down near the start of the slide with an HP penalty until you die after many falls. I can play racing games and IMPROVE. But I have no Earthly idea what mechanic is governing the sliding portion, and I was just glad to pass it.

    After gritting my teeth and getting through that, I came upon a puzzle. I wasn't in the mood for deep thought (or any thought) at 1 am, so anything requiring both thinking and timing just isn't in the cards right now. Maybe later, but like I said, I'm done with this game for a long time, I'd say. I'm not interested in tedious puzzles, i wanted challenging combat.

    Then there are the bugs. 6+ months after release, I've walked onto a pipe and started quivering for 30 seconds, then it stops. Weird.

    Would I buy the game again? Naw, I'd just watch the cutscenes for story on **** or YouTube.    … Expand

The music is a mix of Star Wars classic, and some new music that meet the exact location you are, this actually improves quite a bit the immersion, the sound of blasters, lightsabers, force powers is what has already been established in millions of other games, so fine.
    The game is a lot of fun, the combat is really good, the variety of enemies keeps you making different decisions, trying to remember old ones, and the game never stops being challenging, some bosses can be not so hard as others will take several attempts, this is not a super punishing game, but it resembles one.
    The really bad part in all of this is the story, what should drive you forward. Filled with clichés, right from the start and a lot of relationships feel incredibly rushed, some character reveals are mind boggling as a twist with even a slight pause to a name we never heard before, making it seems that some part of the story was cut for time, you get to backtrack some planets but it is felt that there should have been more planets and backtracking would be reserved for completionist, but again cut for time.

    Much like most of the star wars movies from the past 30 years, this game falls short of greatness on many levels.

It could have been amazing but a lot of poor creative choices (most likely to reach a wider audience) were made so it is just slightly better than mediocre. Had this not been a star wars game and had I need grown up steeped in the original trilogy, I would have stopped playing it about 10 hours in. It's a crappy imitation of metroidvanias, soulsborne games, and, weirdly, the uncharted/tomb raider series.

    It started out great. The 1 on 1 combat works well and some of the platforming sequences are breathtaking. But, after a while the fact that one still has to put effort into killing all but the lowest enemies becomes immersion-breaking. I mean I have a laser sword that can cut through anything and melee units can block my attacks with stun batons? Also, dismembering humans would have made the combat more satisfying but I get why they would leave that out, ratings and all. But, how does it fare in its aspirational categories?

    Metroidvania: definitely lacking. They clearly want you to revisit areas but most of the stuff you find is cosmetic upgrades that are underwhelming. Who cares how my saber hilt is arranged? I can't see it during game play and there is gameplay benefit. Furthermore, some sections become locked forever after platforming or quick-time events, therefore, keeping one from collecting anything. And, the gating is artificial. It's obvious that areas cannot be reached without the double jump, which you do not get until quite far into the game. And what's behind this invisible wall? Probably some boring lore thing or cosmetic nonsense. It seems they want you to revisit areas and explore but they also punish you for doing it.

    Soulsborne: very poor imitation. it is clear that this game takes a huge amount of inspiration from from software games, sekiro in particular. But, there is no stealth. There are also no I-frames, meaning that you can be damaged by a trash mob while trying to execute another trash mob. Further, rather than introducing interesting enemies with different combat mechanics, they just make them sabersponges and put dozens of them in a room. After a certain point in the game, it turns into a series of arenas, which seems against the spirit of a soulsborne game and is just busy work. Finally, it seems they decided to give a difficultly slider to make the game more accessible but then also did not polish the combat, because, hey, you can just turn the difficulty down.

    The combat gets CLUNKY and CHEAP a few hours in. I turned the difficulty down it all the way down to get past a couple of particularly cheap bosses and I just did not feel invested enough at that point to learn their dance. And, as the protagonist grows in power it almost makes more sense to turn the difficulty down. Can a jedi knigh seriously find himself in a bind against two or three melee troopers? How the hell are they resisting my force powers?

    Fights with other saber wielders are really rare and are all boss fights. There could be some rank and file sith to chop into bits but I guess that goes against the whole theme of redemption. That actually poses another ethical point: what are storm troopers but just soldiers that signed on to fight in the army? Why is it cool to turn them into chopped liver when force users deserve redemption? It's a difficult line to straddle, maybe there is no solution.

    Uncharted/tombraider: here the game is pretty strong. There is lots of stuff to discover and the levels can have a lot of verticality. But the worlds are rather lifeless. There is only so much learning about a poorly fleshed out minor culture in the star wars universe I can take before getting bored.

    Ultimately, I wound up forcing myself to finish the game and then deleting it. I hope to forget it soon.    … Expand

    EDIT: After beating the game, I've had to drop the score down a few pegs. Sadly, the first impression doesn't hold up, because it never changes its' pace or tone. You do roughly the same thing over and over again until it comes to a fairly abrupt conclusion.

    The gameplay loop isn't bad; it just becomes monotonous and there's a lack of adventure the further you go that I honestly didn't expect from the first few hours. A shame - a good game, but a shame because it could have been tremendous.

    Fallen Order is a fantastic game with a true Star Wars story, that said however there are some nagging smaller things which prevent it from reaching greatness. Much of these things are small but all combined have an impact that is noticeable and detracts from the experience, my experience is based on playing the game on Jedi Master difficulty. Negatives first;

    - Lightsaber combat is all    Fallen Order is a fantastic game with a true Star Wars story, that said however there are some nagging smaller things which prevent it from reaching greatness. Much of these things are small but all combined have an impact that is noticeable and detracts from the experience, my experience is based on playing the game on Jedi Master difficulty. Negatives first;

    - Lightsaber combat is all but broken, the Lightsaber itself feels like it could do with a +10% reach, the kicks you can do felt like they had more range.

    - Basic combat is slashes and a kick at your disposal however relying on these alone will see fights becoming very long and drawn out, the problem comes when utilising heavy Lightsaber attacks, they drain the "Force" meter just as though you were using a Force move such as push or pull. I understand Respawn wanted to make the combat more challenging as you do need to take a Souls-like approach to it however having two completely different things rely on the same meter is just completely arse backwards what Respawn should have done (and MUST do in future FO games) is have heavy Lightsaber attacks use a stamina meter.

    - The game tries to encourage you to mix up your moves but again with two completely different things relying on the same meter this is not a practical way to play, at least on the harder difficulties.

    - There is no New Game+ for you to enjoy the game with all of your abilities unlocked to get better at using them nor is there a training arena for you to practice moves despite there literally being a training arena you have to fight through toward the end of the game. Surely Respawn could have easily taken that section and turned it in to an isolated training arena outside of the main game.

    - Boss battles feel very bad often I would have to cheese a combination of moves rather than use everything at my disposal because your character has such a long wind up period for better moves which the bosses handily exploit.

    - Bugs. I'd find myself falling through parts of a level inexplicably which ended up being the result of something ridiculous like double jumping when you can make the jump with a single jump and enemy attacks that are meant to be blockable just clean going through my block (yes I had plenty in my block meter) on harder difficulties the latter of those issues is particularly aggrivating.

    - BD-1s upgrades. Seldom will you find BD-1 upgrades organically through the game most of them are obscurely hidden. This is just another reason why a New Game+ is needed in FO your game design has failed if you can miss 70-80% of a characters upgrades through your playthrough on a game with no New Game+

    - My last criticism would be with the levels, they are all pretty much constant mazes with heavy platforming elements there are no cities/hub locations you can visit to help immerse you in the universe or story nor are there many different alien species to encounter.

    - You can't rebind keyboard and mouse controls on PC, what the hell Respawn?!

    More positively however all of the characters in the game are superbly developed, the story is very Star Wars, gameplay is fun even though the planets you visit feel somewhat empty with nothing to flesh them out beyond "the mission" and BD-1 is both awesome and cute, he kicks arse. As a single player game FO is great, but replayability is zero with some unbalanced nagging issues. If Respawn can sort these things out in a sequel then it will be a game of the decade contender, at the very least game of the year contender. Thoroughly enjoyable despite some shortcomings.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is... okay. A really high quality game with immediately forgettable characters you can’t sympathize and a mundane story. I enjoyed some of the mechanics and certain planets/levels, but overall this was quite a disappointment considering the initial hype. Many say that you need to love the Star Wars universe in order to fully enjoy the game, but I believe that a good story is a good story regardless of how familiar you are with the franchise. Fallen Order just doesn’t have it.

    - Level design is great up until you get to the monkey planet the second time, where it becomes slightly ridiculous.
    - You can’t upgrade your sword, and there are no ranged weapons (you can throw a sword late in the game, but it’s quite useless), meaning that you have only one way to play. There are only a few useful skills since at the end of the day it’s about parrying and dodging.
    - You would expect a jedi to be a little bit more powerful - basically, you can only perform a few special attacks at the beginning of the game. - All enemies are pretty much the same, and, as you probably know, you can’t slide’n’dice human enemies. Seriously?!
    - The lore... Well, it’s really shallow. You find some short notes and clues, but they all feel AI-generated, something along the lines of “there was a lot of suffering here”. It doesn’t enrich the story or provide any further explanation to your pointless quest.
    - Bosses are neither interesting or hard. That guy on the red planet? He doesn’t even play any significant part in the story, they could easily replace him with a giant spider (for example).
    - Finally, the ending... Seriously?!    … Expand

    Ehhh it's a mixed bag of gameplay from other games that do it better. And when there isn't bugs the game looks fine, be be warned I had graphical and gameplay bugs on every world i visited. Plus the story is just kinda a rehashing of what we've seen before for a story set between Ep 3 and 4.

    The game is passable at best, I really don't understand why people give this game a 10/10 ... unless they are being paid to "review", then I do understand ...everyone has to make a living after all.

    Or perhaps it is because it has been so long ago that EA/Lucasarts has released anything remotely enjoyable that we just are all over the moon when something gets released that has a character swinging a lightsaber in it.... who knows?

    All I can say is that to me this was not a starwars game... more like Frankenstein monster of a game which stole certain things from other games, but never merged into a whole, making everything feel a bit off.

    But let me start with some of the good things, before I rip into it.
    I enjoyed some of the platforming, I liked the puzzles, I liked the little droid companion and I liked the alien co-working character and as a matter of fact the entire opening act made me hopeful.
    And the first time you deflect a blasterbolt, forcepushed someone of a cliff , or pulled them in to do a single hit kill stab, or stopped time and pushed a rocket back was fun ...

    Unfortunately this is where the positivism ends.
    After the opening act you get picked up by two NPC's who never at any point resonated with me, the story was uninspiring and we all know the Jedi Order would not be restored, considering the time period this all plays out.

    And as you can't skip those cutscenes, you basically have to listen to all the **** all these non-entities spout ... and every time the main character opened his mouth I disliked him just a bit more.

    The combat in the beginning is a bit of fun, but as soon as you progress and got more (surprise) enemies to contend with, it becomes a die and repeat grindfest.
    Now I gather that this is a mechanic "borrowed" from dark souls or sekura ... thing is if I liked those type of games I would've played those instead of this one.

    As for the dying part, I found that I died more often due to clunky controls, camera glitches and those (bliep)-ing slides more than from failing parries or enemy attacks... oh and the fact that it takes too long for you to heal up when you give the command has been a slight annoyance as well.... I mean what is the point of having 6 healing canisters if it takes 2 seconds to heal you up

    Gameplay mechanics like upgrades are none existent.
    You basically get texture variations, so in the end I didn't bother opening these chests anymore.
    Seriously what is the point of offering variations if they don't have any impact on gameplay or stats?
    If they cared about cosmetics, why not have a character creation kit in the beginning, so we can play as something different than a poncho wearing whiny red headed millennial.
    Maybe different genders or even races with different stats?
    At the very least have the main character change his outfit towards the end so he looks like a Jedi knight, to reflect his change of attitude/progression.

    I can honestly rip into this game forever, but the real point I am trying to make is that I play games for a story and the choices I make within those stories, however small they may be.
    I mean I liked the Witcher 2 because of that and I really was willing to die and did so 50 times by some creature to progress and see how it all played out.

    In this game you never become or are a Jedi, you are basically a random schmuck with a glow stick that has to parry attacks from Stormtroopers with surprising good aim... no matter what level you are.
    Everything is on rails from story progression, personal development, force powers and skills.

    Thing is that due to the fact that this game borrows from other games, it never has an identity of its own and falls short:

    If you like die & repeat gameplay , you're better off playing Dark Souls or Sekura
    If you like platforming and going to the same place multiple times, you're better of with Metroid Prime.
    Want a linear, on the rails great story experience, then play God of War 4, Uncharted or Last of Us.

    Because these games are far better on these individual aspects.
    Now the fact that you are reading this and browsing other reviews probably means you have already decided to buy this game at some level at least and are just looking for a reason to buy.

    And unfortunately I can't stop you ... what I can say to you is that you should wait until you can buy this game for like $20 orso.... again it is not terrible to the point of unplayable, it is just very jarring on multiple fronts , so I would not ever advise anyone to buy this at $60 it is just too mediocre for that.

    And I am not saying this with glee, because I really went in hoping to like this game    … Expand

    On the plus side: awesome graphics 10/10, surround sound, general Star Wars feeling, which is fine, but I am more of a Star Trek fan. The combat is unforgiving, but fortunately you can change difficulty any time you want. I would give a better rating if the game was shorter and I wouldn't have to waste my life finding my way in the game. At the 5th chapter, when I got to the Jedi temple I got so frustrated that I decided I would watch the rest of the story on YT. It was a good choice.    … Expand

Platforming even if unoriginal was fun and even the puzzles were enjoyable to figure out. And searching for collectibles and lore didnt feel like a chore. However the customization is limited to your poncho and droid (the ship also, but who cares) and the lore pieces are not as extensive and deep as I would like them to be. So you might stop looking for them halfway through the game. I did a 100% run, but if I ever play it again, I will focus only on the main story, I know that for sure. The backtracking however is as annoying as you would expect, I dont understand why sp games still do this.

    Playing as one of few surviving jedi after order 66 sounds amazing, the premise is epic. The execution not so much, the story is probably the weakest part of the game, its competent enough and gives reason to the places you visit and things you do, but its not something that would keep me playing if the gameplay wasnt as good as it is. The characters are a mixed bag, some are interesting, but mostly I didnt care. However there are some great moments, mostly to the end of the game. The ending itself made me little mad, but it makes complete sense, it would **** up continuity of the main saga if it ended differently.

    Overall this is a very competent AAA game with great gameplay and audiovisuals, but mediocre story and few questionable mechanics, mainly all the backtracking.    … Expand

    Graphic & Performance: Nothing fantastic here, it is quite standard for 2019, problem is the really bad performance drops due to maps loading and physics which is, well, funny, it remembered me of Skyrim, anyway in all the story i found myself trapped inside of textures two times, and was able to excape without exiting fro the game.

    Story: It's an original one, with some characters taken from the film's Trilogy, and it's "good", it's enjoyable but nothing special, that', together with performance and graphic led me to the "7" i gave.

Pros are level design, gameplay and graphics. On PC with ultra settings some scenes look pretty amazing and showcases how far games have come. Cons are weak writing and bugs. It is a very generic Star Wars plot and you can tell exactly what the story is and whats going to happen within minutes of the opening scenes. The bugs were pretty apparent I bugged out in and out of battles and my game crashed almost every time I booted the game up and played it. In conclusion the game is a solid 7/10 and had potential to be higher if it had been a little more polished. If you are a big Star Wars fan and the thought of a hybrid between Uncharted and Sekiro gameplay sounds interesting to you then this game is a must play.… Expand

    Fallen Order is basically a Starwars ripoff of Sekiro. Its attempts to implement most of the major features: Parrying; Posture bar; Underwater breathing; blah blah blah; etc... Its doesn't quite achieve the same heights in my opinion. The parrying is a bit weird. It's sort of timed from the moment the enemy swings, rather than the moment of impact.

Not only do you have limited amount of control over the lightsaber combat but there's a very limited set of force powers on display too. If you came here expecting something like the fluid and dynamic combat in Jedi Academy chances are you'll be disappointed.

    Similarly if you were expecting a well written RPG with twists and turns like KOTOR 1 or 2 you'll likely find the game severely lacking here too. There really aren't that many RPG elements, or important choices, at all really. The game plays very linearly and with very limited room to really express your own take on the character and story. Honestly, the last Tomb Raider game had better character customization and more important choices.

    So what we're left with is a pretty linear and mindless hack n slash game with a very minimal set of RPG elements and with a pretty formulaic story. The only people who should be impressed by a game like this are those who are so young and impressionable that they yet haven't gotten around to trying Ben & Jerry's.

    I will also say that I'm not a fan of the healing system, if you're going to make this kind of mindless middle-of-the-road-take-no-chances kind of game just give it automatic health regen and be done with it. You're not going to make it into Witcher 3 or Dark Souls by having an awkward healing system.

    The biggest issue though is the abysmal checkpoint save system, which goes ridiculously too far between checkpoints. I'm not a fan of checkpoint save systems to begin with, but if they are frequent and close together, like in Tomb Raider, they are at least tolerable, although still aggravating and just... why?? In this game the checkpoint saves are far too infrequent though. There is nothing more aggravating that playing for 25 minutes and progressing far through an area with difficult timing puzzles/opponents, with clunky keyboard controls, only to die and respawn back at the beginning, with it all to do all over again. I'm doing my best not to rage quit the game, because the worlds and story are interesting. This save system though.... ugh!

    The game does a pretty lousy job of indicating where you need to go next to progress the quest as well. Maybe I'm too used to Witcher 3 and Ghost Recon type games, that give you a good map with trail markers to your quest objective. This game though goes the polar opposite. No direction at all, other than BD-1 sometimes jumping off of you and standing in a spot, indicating you may want to go vaguely in X direction. Way too vague and confusing at times for my liking.

    As for the people claiming that it's too easy and boring, I would say that they are clearly boasting for attention, or they need to get a life and spend less time gaming. There is nothing easy about this game. Maybe I'm not as crisp as I used to be, but twas a time when I was top 100 in CS, and I've been gaming for 30 years and played about everything you can think of. I don't suck, and I am struggling with this game. Probably primarily due to the crappy save system.

    The level design is the biggest failure here. These levels look pretty, and are well drawn, but are convoluted and poorly thought-out messes, very easy to get lost in, and often without any clear objective to deal with, going for a very cramped, tiny aesthetic with lots of sliding-down-ramps and tomb raider-esque shenanigans. You still have a lightsaber, this magic sword that can cut through anything; but the only things it can cut in these levels are nonhuman opponents and ropes.

Жаль конечно, что реализовано это было из рук вон плохо.
    1. Сюжет.
    История банальная, но не считаю, что плохо пересказывать уже известные истории, жаль конечно, что нас не порадовали чем-то новым, но если не сравнивать игру, то получилось приятная история, во многом благодаря внешности ГГ, если конечно закрыть глаза на некоторые аспекты Актера.
    2. Механики и управление
    Механики слизаны Солс Лайк игр и на этом их плюс заканчивается, т.к. реализованы они к сожалению криво, уворотом пользоватся неудобно, управление тяжелое и мешает вместо того чтобы помогать, не чувствуется гибкость мастера джедая, камера вечно наровит куда-то смытся. Точки медитации работают как-то странно, то забываешь нажать на отдых и спавнишься бог знает где, то даже не садишься за точку, а она запоминается почему-то
    3. Дизайн уровней и решения связанные с перемещением по карте.
    Это наверное самый жирный минус в этой игре для меня. Дизайнер уровней в этой игре постарался сделать всё возможное, чтобы испортить жизнь людям, которые зашли в эту игру. Если в ДС ты мог с удовольтсвием открывать для себя невероятное удобство путешествия по миру, и даже не пытатся гуглить путь к тому или иному месту, шорткату или частичке фляски (стиму в ЗВ), то в этой игре это просто ужас. Мало того что сама карта ужасно реализована и становится понятна только через часа 4-5 игры, так еще и шорткаты реализованы ужасно и бесполезно, по факту половина шорткатов не нужны, а те которые нужны ты еще и не замечаешь, потому что они выглядят либо как неюзабельные двери либо как обычные двери и так со всем что есть на локации. Дизайн мира местами красивый, а местам не приспособлен к удобному геймплею.
    5. Остальное
    Можно было бы расписать еще что-то о древе навыков, о косметике и крафте меча, но это всё смешно этого считайте что и нет. Древо навыков нету смысла называть древом навыков, потому что оно таковым не считается. Если бы все эти навыки давало просто вместе с остальными возможностями силы, которые открываются по мере прохождения, то никто бы и не заметил разницы. Потому что дойдя до конца игры я и так прокачал абсолютно всё, что там было. Косметика жалкая и никчемная, можно не переодевать персонажа и опять сильно никто бы не расстроился, с мечем та же история.

    Может показаться, что мне не понравилась игра, но это не так. Просто я не считаю, что если у нее будет продолжение, то оно должно быть таким же как эта часть. Я не считаю, что за те деньги, что запросили ЕА, мы получили то количество геймплея и возможностей, что дают другие игры за похожие цены.    … Expand

I had access to everything i needed to win at the end that i had at the beginning. The skills dont make you more powerful per se. They just gate keep "puzzles". Saber Customization is fab. Love that. Wish the customization had some gameplay effects but whatevs. Saber use is stupid. Seriously. Dual ends do nothing to change how i play. And when i finally get dual sabers it adds *one* **sub attack**. Love the companions. All of them. Theyre perfect. But holy **** Cal is a blank white piece of paper. Nother hot take. This story was boring as hell. Like thats TOTALLY subjective but honestly i feel like it went nowhere. The whole game feels like a large prequel to me. **Final verdict:** Play this game. Seriously. Do it. The world is SO much fun youll stay engaged. And the side chars are charming af. But as a *game* its a slog and a half. **gimme a better sequel please.**… 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]
