    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

    Great experience.
    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.

    Pros:

    * Exceptional Graphics & lighting system. * Mostly fluid combat system with good parrying / countering / finishing animations. * Very cool Force abilities that are well-implemented in combat. * 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
    Pros:

    * Exceptional Graphics & lighting system.

    * Very cool Force abilities that are well-implemented in combat.
    * 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 controls are terrible.

    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.

    I've played about 2 hours and I have no desire to ever play this game again.

    - the saving system is sh!t - you spend half the time tracking back because you forgot to meditate at the 4000th save portal. like why are there so many save portals everywhere :S meditating anywhere (hello witcher 3) would've been more realistic and more game-friendly.
    - like WHY ON EARTH do enemies have to miraculously respawn and most of the time right behind you :S - what a lazy, pathetic, immersion breaking feature.

    Like EA should offload the Star Wars series to idk, Ubisoft, or Bethesda, Obsidian, someone who can develop a REAL open-world RPG experience.

    2) It is highly repetitive and you end up having to backtrack over areas constantly

    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. By stripping this out of a game like this they completely missed a huge opportunity as far as I'm concerned.

    Plus it just removes so much replayability.

    Also the force powers are underwhelming as well.

    VISUALS
    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.

    ALL IN ALL
    it's a pretty good-looking game with a great story, just needs fixing with the game mechanics...

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.
