You cannot clear one Location until you have Ability X to unlock certain Areas/Crates. Always hated these things in Tomb Raider. Less exploring and more fighting would be way better. You have to backtrack alot and unlock shortcuts in order to complete one area. All collectibles are just cosmetic and you can't even have more than 2 lightsaber colors until you have progress very far into the game. Kind of a bummer to be honest. Glad i didn't pay a single cent for this Game - i'd hella regret that.

    Not sure if i continue the Game or just uninstall and forget about it.    … Expand

    Great game with a great story. had just one bug at the beginning of the game. But it was fine after reloading the game.
    good skill system. good fighting system.
    In my opinion easier to play with a controller.

    Игра интересная, сюжет, каст сцены всё сделано отлично. Боёвка в меру сложная и захватывающая. Играть надо на максимальной сложности, больше кайфа от игры.

    I can't help but compare this game to Sekiro. It surprisingly similar (which I totally didn't expected from Star Wars game), but not as good. But it's close! And for me Sekiro - is one of the best games of all time.

Patience, parrying, and force usage has to be used strategically or else you'll be killed by even the most basic mobs which is a fun and interesting take when foiled to Force Unleashed.

    Though this is an EA game there are 0 microtransactions. Let me repeat, 0 microtransactions. Additionally it's amazing that it's developer Respawn, a studio recently purchased by EA, managed to avoid using the horrid Frostbite engine as well as managed to avoid becoming a victim of EA's desire to make every game a MVP loot-box-a-thon. How refreshing, bravo Respawn keep it up!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is merely OK. While it is by far the best StarWars game in many years, that in itself doesn't make this game an instant 9/10, it only highlights how terrible those games are.
    The combat is good but nothing new, the progression systems are passable but quite limited and the story is OK.
    What is unacceptable are the collectibles/cosmetics which are boring and have no incentive to actually get them, and the number of boss fights which is utterly, disappointingly low. For a game centered around lightsaber combat and hopefully lightsaber duels, we got next to none.    … Expand

    Had this been a traditional platforming experience (like Ratchet and Clank) without the forced check-pointing system and pseudo Sekiro combat, and mostly on rails pseudo platforming, this would perhaps make for a great game.

But as it stands it takes too many cues from Uncharted and failed attempts to be like Sekiro (or Dark Souls), bringing it down to a an ultimately grating experience that has some fun moments. Enormous potential but dashed in an attempt to follow trends and perhaps rush the release in time for the Mandalorian. You can't rate a game on what it could be, only what you have in front of you. Unresponsive combat, a lack of polish on certain environments, poor level design, and a boring protagonist only add to its irks. Positives are the poncho collection, light-saber and storm-troopers. The cut scenes are mildly entertaining with good framing/angles normally reserved for the theatre and some of the set-pieces make for a good view. The orchestral music occasionally reminds you that this is indeed a Star Wars game.… Expand

    I've only played this game for roughly 5 hours so I can't say anything about the storyline. However, the combat is basically identical to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. In these 5 hours, there was only a single boss and on top of that there is no fast-travel, so after you finish your mission objective you have to go back all the way back on foot... Fantastic

    -Runs like absolute crap no matter settings or hardware
    -Feels awful to control due to awkward combat animations, terrible hit detection & unclear i-frames
    -Moving around feels clunky and slow because of silly decisions like cancelling sprint on jump
    -Most environments look like generic, first-timer environments from the early 2010s with little artistic license
    -Climbing is terrible and an absolute waste of time, even the animations are appalling
    -Sliding sections are FREQUENT and BORING not to mention unimmersive
    -Combat itself is overly simplified and boring especially near the start of the game; finisher moves are recycled A LOT
    -EXPENSIVE
    -Mandatory anti-aliasing so useless for 4k+ setups without ini tweaks
    -Teeny tiny sickness inducing FoV that can't be changed without a .DLL injector (seriously? in 2019?). Breaks cutscenes if you fix
    -Humanoid characters cannot be dismembered/cut by LIGHTSABERS(!!!)
    -Ship sections are a massive waste of time and could have been cutscenes
    -Devs thought putting massively over-leveled, bulls**t enemies in starting areas was cool because Dark Souls did it, but the combat is so clunky and stiff that there's no satisfaction in it so this is just bad level design AND combat design compounding each other
    -Extremely linear but expects you to look at the map for long periods of time. There is no exploration, this is a linear action game that pretends to be open-world

    Honestly I'd pay maybe $5 for this - if it ran well, which it doesn't. Extremely disappointed, and amazed at all the people who were bought off to shill for this game.    … Expand

    Its a good game but it suffers from "We want to be Dark Souls but don't know how" like so many others.

    It can't decide whether it wants to be Sekiro or DS right from the start. Then it does the typical: We heard DS is hard... so enemies do a lot a damage? Right? That's how you do difficulty, right...? While completely disregarding how precise From makes their games.

While some characters seem a tad more Disney than Star Wars, the plot itself is engaging from start to finish. It fits in so perfectly on the time period it presents, and gives an interesting point of view on the Jedi Purge. The combat is satisfying to master, and you feel Cal grow exponentially, as you become better as a player. I played on the second highest difficulty, and only had a handful of fights that I found myself repeating more than 3 or 4 times. The customization options are plentiful, and found throughout the world. There are two main things that are keeping me from giving this game a 10:
    - Performance issues on PC. I have a decent PC, and get similar FPS on the highest setting, as I do on medium. There are some lag spikes and popping. It never got to a ridiculous point, but it was frustrating.
    - Customization is something that I love about this game, but I wish there were more unique player customization options. You have different poncho colors, but I was really hoping to unlock a few more over the top outfits, like the Force Unleashed, or disguises, since they're so common in Star Wars. I was a little disappointed not to find anything like that.
    - No New Game+ or Extra Planets/Hidden Bosses. Kind of a nitpick. I want to 100% all of the planets, but apart from that, I don't have any other challenging boss fights. Some DLC stories would make me a happy camper, especially if by some miracle we can play as another character using this engine.

    The game is made to be a little bit difficult but because the combat is so basic, you never feel like you are in a epic light sabre battle and just a block, roll and counter simulator.

    I don't understand how, out of a universe of massive possibilities, Respawn managed to generate this generic trash.

    If only Disney would allow CD Project Red a crack at an open world Star Wars, then we may see something worthy of the name.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and I just do not like this game. I'm about 12 hours in, so perhaps the final stretch is where everything suddenly comes together, but the bright spots are few and far between. I think the controls feel really sloppy, Cal can't be trusted around ledges, and loves to fall off them during some attack animations. Wall running does not feel nearly as solid as it does in similar games. Combat is more irritating than fun; locking onto enemies is key, however it's easy to accidentally press R3 and toggle the lock, creating chaos in the middle of a fight. Special attack animations feel overused so they quickly lose their ooh! factor. The load times for respawns are abysmal by modern standards, and you'll sit staring at the little load icon, daring yourself to quit playing.
    Another minor gripe is that while BD-1 can scan defeated enemies for more info on them, this window of opportunity to get the prompt is preciously short, and simply running a few steps away can end it. Also, some enemies have area-of-effect damage upon death so getting a scan means taking damage. I'd rather BD-1 just autoscanned defeated enemies instead of adding this odd chore.
    While exploring is fun, especially finding secret bosses, the chests lose their luster once you realize there's only a cosmetic upgrade in there. I've found myself not bothering with chests I can see if it looks like it will take more than a minute to get there. Similarly, the bits of lore you find (Force echoes) feel skimpy and there isn't even art to accompany them. If I'm going to go through the work of finding them, it would be cool to get meatier lore.
    Also, the fact you have to backtrack to your ship to leave hampers exploration; often when I find a new area I'm reluctant to explore just due to the slog of getting back to my ship when it's time to leave. I'd rather there were certain call points you could reach and the ship would come pick you up. With that same system you could choose where to be dropped off when backtracking to previously explored planets (which you will do often).
    As for the story, it's fine, nothing amazing. We know about Order 66, and we know what happens after this story. The only bit I was interested to see was the stuff about the Nightsisters on Dothomir.
    Cal is a pretty dull hero, genuinely the most interesting thing about him is that he has red hair. To me the best character is BD-1, your little droid. The ship's captain, an alien (forgive me I don't know what species) makes the same mistake the prequels did by making him *too* human, he seems like a little New York guy, not a member of an alien race who lived a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
    Overall I can't recommend much about this game from either the Star Wars angle or just as an adventure game. I actually don't know if I'll bother to finish it, which is why I wrote this review now.    … Expand
