    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.

    This is such a pale shadow of the older Lucasarts Jedi games, Jedi Knight II, Jedi Outcast.. This feels on rails and repetitive, despite the production values.

    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.

    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

    * - 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.

    Fallen Order: When being a Jedi feels worse than a stormtrooper.

    Prepare for a galactic disappointment with Fallen Order, a game that leaves you questioning if you've truly mastered the Force or just mastered the art of sighing heavily. Picture this: stormtroopers, notorious for their inability to hit the broad side of a Bantha, somehow manage to survive not one, not two, but a    Fallen Order: When being a Jedi feels worse than a stormtrooper.

    Prepare for a galactic disappointment with Fallen Order, a game that leaves you questioning if you've truly mastered the Force or just mastered the art of sighing heavily. Picture this: stormtroopers, notorious for their inability to hit the broad side of a Bantha, somehow manage to survive not one, not two, but a mind-numbing three to four lightsaber strikes. It's as if they found an armor upgrade at the discount space station. Someone call a Wookiee because this logic needs some serious fixing!

    But that's not the only thing that'll leave you scratching your head faster than R2-D2 in a sandstorm. No, no, my friends. In Fallen Order, you can't simply run through a level like a Jedi on a mission. Oh, no! You're forced to explore every nook and cranny, as if the next step forward could be hiding behind a space slug. It's a game of hide-and-seek, and you're stuck being the seeker.

    And let's talk about jumping, shall we? Apparently, Jedi leap distances are about as impressive as a Jawa's vertical jump. You'll find yourself tiptoeing on the edge of ledges, praying you'll make it to the other side. It's like they forgot to equip Jedi with space boots that actually allow for decent jumps. Who needs smooth and effortless when you can have heart-pounding and edge-of-your-seat, am I right?

    Now, here's where the real comedy kicks in. Picture this: you, a Jedi, capable of slowing down humans in their tracks like a Jedi traffic cop. But when it comes to monsters, well, let's just say they're immune to the Force. It's like the game creators believed that giant, menacing beasts have some kind of anti-Jedi shield, while conveniently forgetting to distribute the memo to the human villains. Nice going, guys. I'm sure the monster-sized brains came up with that brilliant concept.

    And hold on to your blasters because we're just getting started! All the levels are chock-full of tantalizing places you can't access right away. Oh, the anticipation! You'll have to revisit those areas once you've gained some Jedi abilities to upgrade your character's health and force. It's like waiting in line for your favorite intergalactic theme park ride, but instead of thrills and chills, you're rewarded with an upgrade to your character's life bar. Oh, the excitement! Or lack thereof.

    Now, let's chat about upgrades, shall we? Prepare for disappointment, my fellow Jedi wannabes. About 99% of the upgrades you'll encounter are as useful as a thermal detonator in a pillow fight. It's a parade of meaningless cosmetic changes that'll have you questioning if Jedi knights were secretly fashionistas. I mean, really, did Obi-Wan Kenobi ever lose sleep over his wardrobe choices or pondered a new shade of lightsaber color? I think not.

    But wait, there's more! The fights, my friends, are as underwhelming as Jar Jar Binks trying to tell a joke. The lackluster upgrades and battles make you wonder if you accidentally picked up a plastic lightsaber toy instead of the real deal. Sorry, Jedi, but you'll have to look elsewhere for that authentic lightsaber-wielding thrill. Fallen Order seems to have misplaced it among the stars.

    And speaking of misplaced, how on Tatooine did this game manage to earn such high ratings?

    But the main plot? Well, let's just say it's like navigating an asteroid field blindfolded. We're chasing the footsteps of a late Jedi researcher who apparently had a penchant for leaving cryptic clues like a Hutt leaving a trail of crumbs to his secret stash of snacks. It's a plot twist that leaves you with more questions than a protocol droid at a trivia night.

    In a galaxy far, far away, one would expect a Jedi adventure to be filled with awe-inspiring moments, epic battles, and a sense of mastery over the Force. Yet, Fallen Order manages to deliver an experience that feels more like being stuck in hyperspace traffic than embarking on a legendary quest.

    So, how did this game manage to achieve such lofty ratings? It's a mystery that even Yoda would struggle to decipher. Perhaps the Force is playing some cosmic prank on us, or maybe there's a secret Sith conspiracy at play. Whatever the case may be, Fallen Order's high acclaim remains as baffling as a Gungan trying to pronounce "lightsaber."

    In conclusion, brace yourself for a lackluster Jedi journey with Fallen Order. It's a game that will have you questioning the logic of lightsaber strikes, exploring every inch of the galaxy, tiptoeing on ledges, and facing off against monsters that are somehow immune to Jedi powers. With underwhelming upgrades, lackluster battles, and a plot that feels more convoluted than navigating an asteroid field, it's no wonder this game falls short of capturing the true essence of being a Jedi. May the Force be with you, because you'll need all the help you can get to find enjoyment in this galaxy far from greatness.    … Expand

    Pretty good game. The graphics are nice and even tho the combat tends to be repetitive it is pretty fun. Cool cosmetics and stimpacks keep you exploring and the different maps look really cool. Only downside really is that the default keyboard controls are awful.

    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.

    Cameron Monaghan's brilliant and believable performance as Cal Kestis is also one of the highlights of this game, and he skillfully weaves one of the most relatable and likable characters since the original Trilogy.

    Whether it is his strained relationship with his new allies, his diminished belief in his own abilities, his fear of the repercussions to others around him if he is found out - to his heartbreaking relationship with his friend Prauf (that is all too briefly cut short at the start of the game); Cal is the kind of unlikely hero you can't help but empathize with, and actually WANT to get behind and see succeed.

    The cast of misfit characters around him are also as layered and broken, and in that you get a feeling that like the original Trilogy, you are watching them overcome their own limitations, fears, and baggage instead of simply existing from the start as some kind of Marry Sue or Comedic Punching bag.

    From the start the game shows you "strong and independent" tehcnical workers (that talk a lot just in case you didn't notice them). It also has female characters in key leandership positions. They are all strong, intelligent, etc. While guys are goofballs. Also all the normal enemies that you kill by the ton are guys. Guess equality ends there.

    Since I've never played the often-quoted Uncharted and Souls games, I went into this with a completely blank slate in terms of gameplay, and it delivered a payload of goodness. The new worlds are gorgeous, the play ranges from very simple platforming to nerve-wracking combat, the sense of adventure is as real as it needs to be, and the story and characters - they're just so great!
