    Took me over 15 hours the whole campaign on Jedi-Master. Here are my thoughts.

    Pro : - Graphics (they are good. Not Super but good enough to be in this section) - Free Cosmetics/Collectibles (which is not common for publisher like EA) - Story started interesting and i had some flashbacks when i enjoyed the star wars battlefront 2 campaign where you play the story of the 501st that    Took me over 15 hours the whole campaign on Jedi-Master. Here are my thoughts.

    Pro :
    - Graphics (they are good. Not Super but good enough to be in this section)
    - Free Cosmetics/Collectibles (which is not common for publisher like EA)
    - Story started interesting and i had some flashbacks when i enjoyed the star wars battlefront 2 campaign where you play the story of the 501st that had to go throgh a lot of stuff.
    - Castlevania Like was ok for this one
    - Single Player Game
    - No Microtransaction
    - You get the Deluxe Edition with Premier Access (around 15 bucks a month.)
    - Stunning panorama
    - A small amount of Characters are interesting
    - Characters Animation/Expression are good/ok in little scenes/sequences

    CONS :
    They are the reason why this game has only a 7/10 and is closer to a 6/10
    - Combat System is horrible on Jedi Master and upwards.
    - Extremely dumb A.I.. they stop chasing you after you run out of their "spawn location" and as soon as you enter a new set of the map.
    - You can simply run through the map without killing any troops because they "don't matter". If you want to speedrun the campaign. But nothing will wait for you after the campaign. Nothing.. Legit.. Nothing.
    - The Story itself is completely obsolete if you think about Star Wars IV. Nothing matter at the end because Luke Skywalker is going to smack the Empire anyway. Or have you ever heard of a Jedi called "Cal" ?
    - Camera problems.
    - Most Characters lack personality or have seen only Screen time because "reasons" (Merrin is just there. Cool Character but i have no clue why this character is there at the end. It looks unfinished to me.)
    - The After-Credit Scene is one of the MOST IMPORTANT THINGS in a Single player, and they didn't use this at all.
    - 60€ for a 10-15 hour campaign/ Singleplayer is overpriced at this rate of quality but its worth for 15€ Premier Access. I would pay 40-45€ for the Game itself.

    Star Wars Jedi: Fallen order is a ok to almost good Singleplayer Star Wars Game. Im extremely interested in the Story itself and wish they would have gotten more in depth about the transformation from Clone Troops to Stormtroopers.. Republic to Empire. The First third of the Game is awesome.. the second half is more of a "I need to learn that and it feels like a Sekiro had sex with Castlevania" but the end felt a bit rushed and stopped with an open end but i had not the feel of "I WANT MORE" it left me with a lot of confusion. Unfinished. I want them to continue this Singleplayer and improve certain things. The most important part to improve is the combat system.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

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

    100/100 or 10/10? Really? So this is the perfect game is it?

    That's absolutely hilarious. It's a clunky DS clone without any of the satisfaction and the level traversing has all been done before in Tomb Raider/Uncharted.

    It's neither RPG nor platformer. You spend most of the time backtracking to locations because you didn't have the right skill to unlock something or you had to travel through half of the section just to backtrack to go somewhere else in the world just to back track again to progress further.

Whole exploration is just an illusion as you are railroaded into specific areas almost at every corner.
    The game is trying very hard to be a "Dark Souls" game with very poor results. Combat isn't rewarding and very quickly becomes annoying. Every time you rest it resets all enemies and with all the backtracking you have to do I quickly started to avoid combat where possible.
    Character progression is almost non existent and just boils down to some "skill tree" unlocks but you have plenty of customisation and skins for Cal, the ship and BD 1. All you do is collect journal entries and skins, no real upgrades for your Light Sabre that would make you mote powerful, just cosmetics.
    It's EA, so I won't be surprised if we will have MTX added in a couple of months.

    And now the biggest problem with the game - controls...
    It's a PC (!) game that tells you right at the beginning to use controller. The controls on KB&M are clunky at best. A developer that can't be arsed to optimise controls for mouse and keyboard on their PC port just don't deserve the money.
    Camera movement is awkward and sometimes you loose control over it completely so you have to look in specific direction or on at a specific angle. You DO NOT DO things like that on PC. EVER!!!

    I gave it 5 points. It's not a bad game but it doesn't deserve 9's and 10's. People probably set the bar so low for EA games that anything that isn't an utter crap will probably score a 9 or 10.

    Don't buy it. Wait for a big price drop or do what I did, get the Origin Access thing. It will cost you way less (probably closer to real value of this game) and you'll have access to some other games to try out.
    I wasn't expecting much from this game but I really like Titanfall 2 so I thought, why not I'll give it a try.

And if you are able to change your view during a jump what happens next? You are sliding directliy into this direction ignoring physics at its finest! I have started the game in hard mode with some really annoying tutorials which pop up in the middle of any fight and cancel your evade sequence leaving you dead for sure when every hit might kill you! When you want to jump right before clifs with a path leading downwards you tend to slide down because the terrain is so "detailed"! TOTALY UNPOLISHED and for that not worth its current ranking. Far behind any FROMSOFTWARE game so let the next one be made by them plz. So many flaws ripping you out of your immersion... It feels like a game made with frostbite not unreal engine....
    Oh and i forgot, what happens when you die ridiculously 20 times on a slide? RIGHT your checkpoint is floating mid air before it where you will never get it...

    The game is 12 hours long including the mandatory backtracking on every level. The combat system is the exact same garbage as was in Force Unleashed. The story has more plot holes in the first ten minutes than most games ever have.

    in a Star Wars universe a kind of FPS where there is lots of back and forth to acquire skills and kill things, rinse and repeat. It's like being on a rollercoaster and that's it. In this situation, the appearance, music and ambience are pretty much irrelevant. Not awful, but not good either.

    SOMETHING IN BETWEEN:
    / Combat is mediocre at best. I was thrilled by those 'Souls-like' tags which were really misleading. Yes, the combat can be challenging if playing on highest difficulty. No, there's nothing more soulsike in this game. The very essence of Souls-games, character building, is missing completely. Also some of the enemies are a tad hard to read and their attack animations a bit weird.

    CONS:
    - Story was kinda boring and very predictable. I barely attached to any of the characters.
    - Performance issues

    I hadn't experienced any good Star Wars game since The Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 and this seemed to have some serious potential. Especially after seeing it's gameplay being described as 'Souls-like' I was really hyped. Sadly it failed to deliver and it turned out to be more Tomb Raider than Dark Souls. Souls-likedness was really far fetched in my opinion, as the only thing even relatively close to Souls were the challenging combat. The very essence of Souls-games, the character building, was missing completely. Yeah, you do earn experience from combat which you'll use to unlock new abilities for combat. You'll end up unlocking them all by the end of the game though, so there's literally no different builds to play with. Also all the loot in the game is cosmetic which you'll barely even see (lightsaber hilt, your droid and your ship). Like really?

    Game wasn't all around bad as it had really gorgeous graphics. On the downside the game had some random performance issues even after tinkering with my graphics settings for quite a while. Also the music was brilliant, which together with the great visuals really set up the good atmosphere for a Star Wars game.

    I don't even have too much to say about the story. It was mediocre and very predictable. I could tell how the story is gonna end even before entering the final area. Also I hardly attached to any of the characters.

    For me this game felt like it was wasted potential. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it but I think it could've been miles better if they took a different approach in designing this game. Don't pay the full price. This might appeal to you if you're a fan of the SW universe or if you like Tomb Raider -like cinematic games with little emphasis on depth of the gameplay. I might need to re-play Knights of the Old Republic to get my fix of a great Star Wars -game.    … Expand

You play as Kal Kestis, a former Padawan (Jedi apprentice) who has been in hiding from the despotic Galactic Empire for years. When he is forced to use his psychic Force powers to save the life of a coworker, he is pursued by the Imperial Inquisitors, only to be rescued by a couple of rebels with the goal of resurrecting the Jedi Order. To do so, they must acquire a Jedi holocron, a device that contains a list of Force-sensitive children who could be recruited and trained into Jedi. But before they can forge a new future, the remnants of the Jedi order must first face the past.

    The plot of this game is nicely self-contained, but also suffers from a significant flaw - this game is set between the prequels and the original trilogy, so anyone who has seen the movies knows that they will fail in their quest to resurrect the Jedi Order. Worse, the game itself deliberately turns itself into a shaggy dog story in many ways, with a character who joins your crew later in the game outright stating that if the characters hadn't even bothered trying with their main quest that things arguably would have gone better, and it is hard to disagree with them, at least as far as their main objective goes.

    That said, the characters themselves do undergo some development, most notably the two Jedi, both of whom are still dealing with the trauma of the destruction of the Jedi Order and their personal guilt in not being able to protect those closest to them. Sadly, two of the other cast members don't really undergo much meaningful development – one simply opening up a little bit, but not really getting a ton of development beyond “he used to gamble but he’s better now” – while the last one only shows up very near to the end.

    Gameplay wise, the core combat works quite well. Kal has a reasonable set of telekinetic and combat-based Force powers that expand over time, and while they are rather simple they work well enough in the Metroidvania style and are mostly satisfying to use on enemies. Slowing down enemies, grabbing them with your Force powers, shoving them off ledges, making fancy attacks with your lightsaber – these all are fairly standard, but they work well enough, and you can pull or push environmental objects or slow down rapidly moving things to enable traversal.

    Ironically, the game's biggest letdown is the lightsaber itself. While there is some nice variety in the swings and the animations are solid, the actual fighting with it feels wimpy. In the movies, these are deadly weapons, but in the game, it is basically just a normal video game sword. The hits with it don't really give that deadly destructive feel, and the death animations greatly downplay the whole "chopping people up" aspect (though the kills on some animals do feature bifurcation and similar). Most enemies can take multiple shots, and while the whole beam ricochet thing remains, a lot of the actual attacks with it feel lackluster. It also doesn’t do the cool sort of environmental destruction that you see in the movies, like using it to cut through or melt doors – while the swipes will inconsistently leave molten material on the walls in the place of standard “cuts”, there’s no environmental destruction, and your lightsaber will periodically clip through objects and do nothing.

    That said, it does work well enough from a mechanical point of view, at least at first.

    This gets into the other problem with the game: repetition.

    You go to almost all of the planets you visit at least twice due to backtracking during the plot, and probably three times to collect everything and explore some of the areas you couldn’t get to before. The planets are neat enough the first time, but they often don’t have as much new to show you the second time through, and the Imperial troops that show up everywhere, while having some diversity (there’s 16 imperial enemy types, though some are just stronger versions of weaker ones), do end up being a bit repetitive by the end, as the game doesn’t really have enough tricks to throw at you.

    The same applies to the terrain – while it looks different outwardly, it ends up following a small number of tropes over and over, making the exploration feel a bit less exciting once you realize it is mostly the same thing, albeit with attractive skins. The first few worlds feel fairly fresh, but by the time you get to the Wookie planet of Kashyyyk, you’ve seen almost all of what the game has to show you. It doesn’t help that most of the Metroidvania-esque upgrades aren’t particularly interesting environmentally outside of a small number of simple puzzle rooms.

    It doesn't help that there's no fast travel.

    Overall, If you are in the market for a Star Wars game where you play as a Jedi, this is likely something you’ll enjoy, but it is decent, not amazing.    … Expand

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

    Took me 32 hours to finish the game on Jedi knight difficulty, I would say this game is excellent both combining Tomb raider style and melee element. I am a person who never play Soul game, so this is refreshing for me, but at the same time difficulty to get the hang with at the beginning.

    Boss are tough, but not unbeatable in Jedi knight difficulty. I have the most fun with the story and the game mechanics, but I do not like that backtracking without sort of camp fire in Tomb raider, which is so much more convenient. But that does let me find more secret when you backtrack.

    I hope they improve even more in the sequel.    … Expand

    this is not your typical modern EA game. it is great! and has no microtransactions!

    wonderful game with little to complain about. if you are only familiar with the movies, I recommend watching the clone wars, then read the comic ''Star Wars: Darth Maul—Son of Dathomir'', and after that read the fallen order comic, which is a prequel to this game.

I also recommend playing with a joystick.

    the game has a good story, good music which at times is original and good while at others plays music from the movies when iconic characters show up or iconic moments occur. good combat mechanics, and lots of exploring. the map could have been better. could have had one more planet and more characters, both original and not.    … Expand

    Best attempt at reflecting Star Wars in games. The graphics are commendable, great animations, and beautifully conveyed the world around you. The mechanics of the game seem easy at first glance, but there is also a bit of hardcore for avid gamers. The plot and narrative are built very competently and leave a pleasant imprint in the mind of the player.

    I love story driven games, the fist moments of this game on Bracca were some of the finest story driven gaming I have seen in a long time. You care about the characters and you are invested almost immediately. Then you land on the next planet and it becomes a bit tedious for the following couple of hours as you develop more of your skills and prepare for the rest of the game.

Then you land on the next planet and it becomes a bit tedious for the following couple of hours as you develop more of your skills and prepare for the rest of the game. The tombs in this game are as good if not better than those in Tomb Raider, and the story had me searching on Google to learn more of the Star Wars backstory because I wanted to learn more, not because I had to. The story is enhanced if you are playing this while consuming other Star Wars content, and I would say this is a must play for anyone who is a fan of the series. The ending of this game is great and has moments equally as enthralling as the beginning.

    The mechanics are mostly enjoyable, if a bit inconsistent which lead to moments of frustration due to the mechanics not acting as they should. This is where the game loses a point for me.

    I highly recommend this game to anyone, and if you are a Star Wars buff, this is a must play.    … Expand

BUT THIS GAME HAS A FEW ISSUES.

    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...    … 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]

    Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order gives its best on PC, delivering an awesome experience in 4K and 60 frames per second with advanced visual effects.
