    Graphics are impressive and audio is solid. Didn't like all the backtracking even though map is 3D it's still confusing to get back. Story is not really interesting, it's just a reason to fight. Some puzzles and sliding are little bit a chore.. Overall it's solid game, not bad not great.

    Always need to run back across big maps, always in dead ends. The gameplay mechanics are very simple but stretched with nerving design problems. To solve a puzzle you need to run 20 times in every direction. Who made this gameplay decisions??? Waste of time...

    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.

    - often times you have no idea where to go. the map is just a **** like a 3d scan of an ant hill. You will get lost a lot !

    - 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

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

    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

    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.

But I can't help feeling they should have taken inspiration from the Jedi Knight game's with their fantastic free form combat system, rather than make a Sekiro copy.… Expand

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.

    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

    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

There's actually quite a few cool mechanics to use, but you don't really get to enjoy them all till mid/end game, so really felt the gameplay lacked for like the first 75% of the game, and imo there's low replay value so those mechanics are kind of lost. Also the main character runs like a duck out of water which was just stupid to watch and kills the immersion.
    * SJW **** 9 - none really, just a good diverse cast of characters like Star Wars with no overt racist/bigoted agenda like a lot of new left leaning entertainment/news these days.    … Expand

    Story is fine, graphics are nice but the game just isn't fun to me. The game copies from many other games but does nothing as well from the games it's copying. Combat leaves a lot to be desired and the checkpoint system can be frustrating at times. I can see why people like it but the mediocre combat, combined with jumping and sliding all the time just doesn't do it for me.

    I loved the game in the beginning. Visually attractive, quite well captured Star Wars atmosphere, but then it lost it's appeal - too much jumping and running, only minor RPG elements, pale main charakter, the story didn't take off unitl the end, when it improved. Visually: sometimes quite astonishing / great, sometimes only medicore. A plus are the low hardware requirements.

    I really want to like this game more than I did. To start with some good: the sound and music is fantastic, perfect SW. The graphics and art are likewise very good.

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

    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.

    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.
