    Its ok, the system isnt to refined than sekiro but works. Gives yu a little bit more of the star wars essence with the battles with other users of lightsaber.

    Divine beginning of the game, like a Hollywood movie. The first thirty minutes are HOLLYWOOD. Next is a quality game and one of the best games in the Star Wars universe.
    A fascinating story, cool combat mechanics. a game in which you feel like a Jedi. 9/10

    Эпичность 8/10
    Музыкальное сопровождение 9/10 музыка классическая, что тут можно было ожидать
    Сюжет 7.5/10 классический сюжет ЗВ
    Боёвка в общих чертах 8/10, но по субъективно моему взгляду 5/10
    И тут я должен объяснить, она мне показалась сырой, я рассчитывал из-за журналистов (спасибо что сломали мне впечатления) именно на боёвку как в Секиро, и я бы поставил 10/10 моментально, они похожи, но Кэл это как Волк упаровшийся слабительным, он слишком долго реагирует на твои команды, хоть это и микросекунды, но это очень важно. Я не могу нормально парировать, потому что я привык нажимать блок в момент когда оружие врага уже находится у меня перед лицом, Кэл из за задержки при блоке не успевает и получает по этой же харе, надо нажимать заранее и я не очень понимаю когда. Идеальные увороты (скил) работают много и много лучше чем парирование, хотя там окно совсем маленькое, но мне было легче уворачиваться вот так от врагов, нежели парировать. После переката он очень долго тупит и на последнем боссе если ты перекатился от её удара по области перепутав с другой атакой - ты получишь по лицу 100% даже если волна далеко от тебя. Не чувствуется полный контроль над персонажем, той отдачи. Больше всего был разочарован на последнем боссе. Он ковыряется довольно долго и имеет несколько ОЧЕНЬ не приятных атак, (а учитывая, что я каким то образом проморгал стимы и на последнем боссе пришёл в 3 штучками в кармане было крайне сложно) скидывающих почти все хп, но дело даже не в этом, я пытался драться с ним на парированиях, но у него не сбивается стамина, пытался на уклонениях, но он энивей сможет тебя затыркать, от всего не увернёшься, у меня бомбануло и я решил тупо как имбицил сидеть в блоке и уворачиваться на сильных атаках, после чего делать пару ударов и назад в блок.... и это сработало... я был очень разочарован, что боссфайт сделали таким тупорылым, я хотел экшена, увороты, парирования, фехтования, а в итоге получилась какая то фигня.
    В общем игра мне очень понравилась и если учесть, что эта ПЕРВАЯ хорошая игра по зв за 6+ лет, мне не жалко было денег, хотя на мой взгляд оценки 8 они заслуживает    … Expand

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

    Undoubtedly the best Star Wars game I've played in decades. Awesome locations, better art style than all the new movies and challenging "Souls lite!! gameplay with metroidvania influences in terms of the level structures. Good graphics and incredible sound. Really makes you feel like a Jedi.

    Negatives: The map is really confusing at first but one gets used to it.

    The story was solid. It had solid pacing, kept me interested and came to a satisfying conclusion. Cal may not be the best protagonist but Cere, Greez and the Second Sister more than make up for Cal's shortcomings. I enjoyed my experience and HOPE EA let's more studio make games like this.

    It's a Dark Souls inspired Jedi game, what can go wrong? Not much! The combat, exploration, and story are the focus and they are all great. More, non-cosmetic, customization options for Cal would have been nice, I don't need a dozen differently colored ponchos.

    i heard alot about this game and seen a lot of this game but it wasn't until recently when i bought it on steam for 50% off still around 40 bucks , but i'm glad i did because this game was a treat . has its faults sure and at times derivative but it is a worthwhile game and a welcome addition to the star wars canon.

    Story: Cal Kestus is a former jedi padawan living as a scrapper hiding    i heard alot about this game and seen a lot of this game but it wasn't until recently when i bought it on steam for 50% off still around 40 bucks , but i'm glad i did because this game was a treat . has its faults sure and at times derivative but it is a worthwhile game and a welcome addition to the star wars canon.

    Story: Cal Kestus is a former jedi padawan living as a scrapper hiding from the empire 5 years after the fall of the republic and execution of order 66. cal is a good character and is a small part of the starwars universe. going to planets seen in the starwars the clone wars series. the games journey starts when cal is detected by the inquisitors where he makes his escape with a former jedi master.
    From there you take the fight to the empire and attempt to restore the jedi order. cameron monaghan is killing it in his career , playing a young joker , and now a jedi and cal kestis is a better character for his involvement , he did a lot of the mocap for not just the story bits but the actually in game animations , making cal have a very distinct lightsaber style of more of a survivalist being a mix of geralt of rivia's ( the witcher 3) and darth maul's style, witch makes him feel unique even amongst the jedi , but is cal a jedi ? i think that is a question for the sequel to answer the story just kinda sucks though and feels out of place in the universe
    Story:6/10

    Worldbuilding: this is the first story told around this time period 5 years after the fall of the republic , and before the start of the rebel alliance the only other star wars story i can think of around this time is the force unleashed but that takes place roughly 20 years after the fall of the republic at the start of the rebellion , some characters show up from across the universe , darth vader as powerful as ever , saw gerrera still fighting the empire. but id like to have seen more characters from the universe show up , maybe a cameo from rebels characters would have been nice but i digress , with the inevitable sequel to this game there is still room for world building maybe even bringing starkiller into cannon ? ( i can dream) over all i think that what this game dose bring to the universe is minimal and somewhat dumb , the zeffo is a half assed name to a n ancient civilization of force users and you can really tell that the actors really dont give a **** about some of this stuff they named poorly
    World building 7/10

    Graphics, EA , star wars , and respawn are all names you would associate with a big budget and id say that respawn did well with it , the game looks stunning especially to when the camera pulls your attention to a big set piece is at its best , iv had minimal crashes and little frame drop if any , textures are well done and environments pop , locations feel a little video game but being in a video game that's not a huge deal ,
    Graphics: 9.5/10

    Gameplay: now the game play is great , it works , its fluent , it's challenging but most importantly it is fair, every mechanic is polished to a T and i appreciate that alot . MY problem with this game is it is all stuff iv seen before , the combat is witcher 3 with lighsabers , the platforming feels like ratchet and clank , climbing is watered down uncharted. although its mechanics are polished to a T there isnt really anything pushing the industry forward , innovation is what can turn an 8/10 game into a 10/10 game it barely pushes the starwars universe forward not enough risks were taken
    Gameplay: 8/10

    Sound design: its starwars , sound effects , music and acting is all to industry standard and then some its hard to say anything about this game is bad , because none of it , its just that its alot of recycling , star wars assets and video game mechanics not to say there was no creativity , i think the storm troopers were done really well their callouts are amazing and im glad they made the stormtroopers feel more like people people that just happen to be on the other side of a war.
    Sound design: 8/10

    6+7+9+8+8=38
    385= 7.6/10

    i love starwars , i think this game is the best star wars game EA has put out but i think the point was missed , star wars has revolutionized filmmaking and as did battlefront for video games ( the pandemic made ones) this games shows that the starwars IP is behind the curve.    … Expand

Die Atmosphäre ist gerade Anfangs sehr dicht. Technisch läuft auf der PC Version auch MEIST alles in Ordnung. Allerdings sei gesagt, das es in den Zwischensequenzen teilweise wirklich unschöne Ruckler und Soundlöcher gab! Auch in Game hat man doch manchmal das Gefühl, das die Texturqualiät an manchen Stellen arg heruntergerechnet wurde. Sound und gesamter visueller Eindruck sind aber wirklich gut bis teilweise sogar sehr gut! Die musikalische Untermalung ist ebenfalls gelungen und wirklich Star Wars like, bleibt aber insgesamt unauffällig. Die Story über den ausgelöschten Jedi Orden ist ebenfalls sehr ordentlich und auf Star Wars Niveau. Man sollte aber keine Wunder erwarten, den der Handlungsstrang bleibt einfach gehalten. Dennoch,... die böse Widersacherin Trilla oder hier genannt neunte Schwester ist wirklich cool umgesetzt worden. Sowohl optisch als auch Stimme sind sehr ordentlich. Generell ist das Gegnerdesign vielfältig und gut designt. Nicht nur Stormtrooper und Droiden in allen Varianten stehen auf der Schnitzelliste des Lichtschwertes von Cal, dem Protagonisten und Pcharacter, sondern auch allerhand von Getier und sogar AT/Sts. Jeder Gegner erfordert eine Analyse der Bewegungs und Angriffsmuster, damit man im richtigen Moment auch richtige reagiert. Nur das führt zum Erfolg. Es gibt bis auf wenige Ausnahmen kein Kanonenfutter. Apropos: Schießen kann man sowie so nicht! Das Lichtschwert ist die einzige Waffe die benutzt werden kann. Allerdings sind eine Handvoll upgradebare Jedi Skills wie Jedi Push und Pull und ein paar passive Skills an Bord. Auch der einem stets treue Begleiter BD-1 kann sich im Laufe des Spiels über Upgrades freuen. Das Spiel hat starke anleihen an moderne Metroidvanias, man kann Abkürzungen freischalten und Gegner repawnen (wenn man speichert!) Das macht aber eben auch den Reiz aus. Insgesamt ist das Spiel tatsächlich recht schwer, aber immer lösbar. Ich habe auf Jedi Meister gespielt und war an einigen Stellen wirklich gefordert ( vor allem die Bounty Hunter und Trilla haben es mir schwer gemacht) Nur zur Info: Fast 20 Versuche für den letzten Boss. Das Spiel hat es aber geschafft mich bei der Stange zu halten. Und umso größer war die Freude es geschafft zu haben. Fazit; Star Wars Fans greift zu, Soulslike Fans greift zu. Wer beides mag sowieso. Wer beides nicht mag wird wohl auch hier nicht überzeugt werden.… Expand

    This game is definitely more than the sum of its parts and a great experience to be had for all audiences. The harsh reviews rating it 5 ot 6 (anything lower than that are essentially trolls) definitely seem to miss the fantastic aspects of this title, making it the best Star Wars single player experience to date.

The harsh reviews rating it 5 ot 6 (anything lower than that are essentially trolls) definitely seem to miss the fantastic aspects of this title, making it the best Star Wars single player experience to date.

    At a fundamental level, its core mechanics aren't the best of the best. The combat isn't as fluid and precise as Devil May Cry 5 or the Souls genre which it takes some inspiration from.
    The world and its set pieces aren't as bombastic and jaw dropping as the new Tomb Raider trilogy.
    The customisation and skill tree isn't that as in-depth as Dragon Age and its puzzle sections aren't as interesting or mind boggling as The Talos Principle.

    If I made the game sound bad then that is exactly what other reviews have probably pointed out, but the game is more than that. It really puts you into the fictional world of Star Wars. Whether you are a casual viewer or a die hard fan. The setting and locals are great, the characters are likeable and have good moments. The story is quite personal and tells a smaller, more grounded tale that fits into the giant world which is the Star Wars franchise, much like say, Rouge 1 did. The animations and impact of lightsaber swings and force powers empower you to feel like a Jedi and all the moves and abilities you come to expect are there as you progress on a realistic journey as one of the last of the order and theres a ton of small details like every lightsaber gem having its own sound effect, enemies reaction to their situations, random occurrences on planets upon subsequent visits, plenty of secrets and more.

    Honestly it feels a bit like NieR:Automata for me, which is a game I adore. It doesn't do anything to outclass other games in most areas, but it does do them well enough overall to immerse you in the environment and stories its telling. There are things to explore, easter eggs to hunt and cinematic moments you won't find anywhere else. Its iconic, the sounds and music enriches the whole experiences and you'll recognize moments and motifs from the movies even if you aren't an avid fan. Graphics are top notch despite not being groundbreaking and the game was bug-free at least for my playthrough. It's accessible and maybe a bit safe, some might say thats a bad thing but in this case I really don't think so. There shouldn't be a need to gatekeep a good single player Star Wars story by turning the Dark Souls inspired combat to 11 (although you absolutely can in the newly added meditation trials and battle grid).

    The game is worth full price I think, especially to support the devs over at Respawn which have been releasing hit after hit and showing EA that a polished, hearty single player game with free cosmetic updates to boot and post-launch support that addresses community feedback are still make plenty of sales in 2020. Though, if you can't or don't want to pay full price there have been some sales relatively early on in the games lifespan (I picked mine up from steam at a 35% discount I think?) so im sure everyone will get a chance to play it at some point.    … Expand

Luego tiene un montón de Prince of Persia o de Tomb Raider en la mobilidad del personaje, la presencia puntual de puzzles, las zonas de plataformeo, etc. Incluso un pelín de lógica metroidvania si se quiere a la hora de encontrar todos los secretos y demás. La historia está bien, no es una maravilla, pero es agradable un juego de Star Wars que tiene una historia más o menos bien llevada sin abusar de los personajes icónicos que apenas tienen presencia. Aunque quizás como juego es un tanto corto para lo que yo me esperaba, la verdad.

    Gráficamente el juego tira de máquina, pero los resultados son espectaculares. Captura perfectamente la estética del universo Star Wars más clásico, manteniendo una variedad de personajes y localizaciones que hacen que se mantenga variado e interesante. A nivel de sonido los efectos son muy buenos y las voces también. Aunque me sorprendió lo poco que usan de la banda sonora clásica de Star Wars, que solo aparece en algunos pocos momentos muy específicos. Y, al menos en mi experiencia, los bugs que tiene el juego son pocos y poco relevantes.

    Por todo ello, sin duda no es un juego que vaya a revolucionar el mundo, pero es innegablemente un buen juego. A ver qué tal sigue la franquicia, porque EA va a ver que esta forma de explotar el universo Star Wars es mejor que la que estaban siguiendo hasta ahora.    … Expand

    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

    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]
