    This is by far one of the best single player games I've played in years and I don't even like the Star Wars environment. But this game just takes the best from Tomb Raider, puts some Assassins Creed Odiseey combat in and brings a beautiful story on top of it.

    The game was great, cinematics are amazing, the only thing I did not enjoy about the game is that it tries to emulate dark soals gameplay where you have to literally learn your enemies to defeat them otherwise you die a lot ... and the ending but the part before the end was really cool :)

    I played Jedi knight 2 and 3 and I think that this game is a really cool adition to this family and for sure if you go into it you won't be disappointed. It is quite long in my opinion, which I consider a pro, there is a huge amount of content and some amazing locations, where I just stood and watched the scene around me and the amount of detail put into enviro and character art ...

    Oh No another EA published game but wait its actually really good, Ea back to its core with a great single player experience with no "loot box's". Respawn Et delivered a great game. Lets see EA start to redeem them self after the backlash they got for making games with crappy monetization with in a full priced game.

    Что могу сказать, - однозначно понравилось.

    Мир красивый. Сюжет незамысловатый, но характеры персонажей хорошо раскрыты. Раскрытие персонажей, это наверное самая сильная часть. Прямо чувствовалось, как главный герой на протяжении всей игры прогрессирует. Ну и на ультрах, пейзажи сделанные на Unreal Engine 4 очень красивы.

    I overcame my aversion to all things EA to buy this game, partly to put my money where my mouth was on how loved single-player narratives still are (despite EA’s arguments to the contrary) and to support Respawn.

    I’m glad to say that beyond making a political point this game is also very fun. Lightsaber combat against challenging melee opponents particularly, feels v exciting. I found the first planet, Bogano, a bit frustrating to navigate - but once you start to pick up more force powers and lightsaber skills on Zeffo, things get better rapidly. I have to say the art on Dathomir is absolutely mind blowing, and overall the game looks breathtaking, The fact that all loot is cosmetic (with the exception of max life and force upgrades) is quite infuriating - would be great to add effects to the lightsaber. I don’t know how restrictive the Disney license is (guessing you can’t break from canon and make lightsabers, say, able to set people on fire) but there is definitely room for deeper character and equipment development to bring to life the whole idea of developing into a fully fledged Jedi. The cosmetics are cool - but it’s hard to get excited about cosmetics. Increased damage, speed or defense would be good, bonuses against certain types of enemy - that would all have added a lot to the game.

    With new abilities you become able to traverse more types of obstacle - so there is a lot of backtracking. Again - this would be much more incentivised if there was loot worth finding. But it’s still fun. I would have loved to have been able to tinker with the lightsaber more, take it apart, add new crystals or augments - a crafting element that made lightsaber changes more tactile would have been great fun - I think anyone playing Star Wars games finds lightsabers and how they’re put together a major attraction - I have a horrible feeling that this game will be over before it really gets going - I’m on the 4th of 6 planets after 10 hours playing - there’s a good chance that there’s not much game for £55. Still, I’m enjoying it. Update: I’ve now finished the game - it was shorter than expected. But it is such a good story with such fun lightsaber duels that it’s worth it. I hope they make a sequel and it’s about twice the length, with significantly more developed loot mechanics and equipment/character development, more lightsaber duels and interesting bosses - this is definitely a great game, but it feels like they could have made it much deeper -

    Melhor jogo do ano até agora.

    Comecei o jogo de mente aberta e foi uma surpresa atrás de outra. Os gráficos são os mais lindos da geração, ao menos até 2019, e ele é incrivelmente leve para GPU's, exigindo mais da sua CPU para rodar o game satisfatoriamente. A diversidade de cenários é grande e também é notável o cuidado tomado com cada um, dando um senso aventuresco que eu sinto falta

    A gameplay é seu ponto mais positivo, muito por se inspirar muito em DS e Sekiro, e ele não falha nesse aspecto. O jogo não é fácil, exigindo que você se acostume com os controles, e de acordo com o tempo os poderes te ajudam bastante.

    A historia, apesar de um pouco genérica, tem seus méritos. Eu gostei dos personagens a ponto de me preocupar, e isso já basta tendo em vista que é raro.

    O jogo tá longe de ser perfeito, mas me prendeu muito e ainda veio da EA sem LootBoxes e Micro-Transações.

    Is this the best Star Wars game ever made? Maybe.
    In some ways, this is the highest quality Star Wars game ever made. Head to head with KOTOR and KOTOR 2 as my favorites of all time.
    The game has very - VERY - interesting characters. Sadly, the plot is simple, so I can't much compare it to KOTOR story-wise. I wish they expanded the game more, I feel like there's so much more to be

    The game has very - VERY - interesting characters. Sadly, the plot is simple, so I can't much compare it to KOTOR story-wise. I wish they expanded the game more, I feel like there's so much more to be told. Imagine a Cantina scene, a Tatooine-like planet or Tatooine itself. Imagine tempting Cal to the dark side. There's so much grounds to cover with this great cast. It's a shame that this game and it's sequels (if ever) will never be able to tell as wide a variety of stories as KOTOR due to the emphasis on high-quality cinematic action.

    But Jedi Fallen Order ticks all the right boxes to satisfy a fan of KOTOR, Jedi Outcast/Academy, The Prequels and the Originals. Awesome characters like KOTOR. Awesome combat like Jedi Outcast. Awesome Star Wars soundtrack and feel like the movies.

    Customizing my lightsaber is fun, and I've done the Savi's Workshop in Anaheim's Disneyland Galaxy's Edge, so it's feels like a continuation for me.

    When I thought the game was done introducing game changing mechanics, it threw more at me. I tried to keep myself as spoiler free as possible, but there are way too many spoilers on Youtube thumbnails at the moment. That being said, the game still surprised me with new force powers, new bosses and cinematics that weren't in any promotional material.

    My game of the year for 2019 hands down.

    24 Hours in, finished the story, completion around 95%. Incredible, the ending was satisfying and not predictable for me. I was expecting to be slightly disappointed, but it ended a blast! Kudos to Respawn Entertainment. Probably the best 24 hours game I've ever played. Definitely the most cinematic and action packed 24 hours.

    Managed to complete the game after just shy of 18 hours and I can say without a doubt that this is an amazing game. I enjoyed every bit of it (Even me being bad and dying 20 times to the same enemy), combat is fun, the story is engaging, exploration is interesting and the graphics are breathtaking.
    Highly Recommended.

    Loving this game, taking me back to that old gaming experience where story and game play experience merge beautifully. Minor glitches but nothing that takes away from the enjoyment of the game. If EA keeps this up they can redeem themselves, no pay to play. Not everything is about multiplayer. God of War proved this point. **Note to EA** Learn from this !!!

A significant early portion will be spent solving puzzles in tombs, exploring, and looking for secrets and chests in complex mapping systems that can be difficult to navigate, While the later game is much more linear, with smaller maps and a much more more story driven experience. The combat starts with an ideological perry/dodge system, which while some may call challenging and unforgiving, I sway more towards sloppy and poorly designed, Which makes little difference anyways because it can be slowly forgotten about as you gain abilities to throw entire waves of enemies off cliffs. If you are a Star Wars fan, you will be more then pleased with the inclusion of references and memories to popular events and characters, as well as fantastic original characters whom are very welcome into the SW universe with top notch acting and fleshed out stories.

    Overall a very solid effort, and while the combat system and early map progression can leave a lot to be desired, I think the redeeming factors are enough to keep this game very enjoyable.

    If you are a star wars fan, i would recommend this game. If you don't have the vocabulary or are unfamiliar with the star wars universe, there are some rough patches. I would also note that the default control scheme is a little wonky. I play on pc with an xbone controller. I would suggest changing dodge/drop down to LB, and block to LT or vice versa. Pull and climb to RB, freeze to B.If you are a star wars fan, i would recommend this game. If you don't have the vocabulary or are unfamiliar with the star wars universe, there are some rough patches. I would also note that the default control scheme is a little wonky. I play on pc with an xbone controller. I would suggest changing dodge/drop down to LB, and block to LT or vice versa. Pull and climb to RB, freeze to B. This frees up your hands and allows for better combat imo.

    Next order of business is the performance. I have played the entirety of the game twice through. Once on Master, then on Grandmaster. I have experience no problems whatsoever with all my settings set to epic. If you are on console, apparently its bad, I dunno. But PC this is a great game.

    When a game is compared to many great titles such as Tomb Raider, God of War, Uncharted, and Zelda the bar for one's expectation is set high. While its true Respawn incorporated many elements from these games into their version of star wars, none of it felt really out of place.

    I truly despise the decisions of those at the top of EA. Respawn however, has never really been a let down. Judging the game (art) as separate from the publisher or even the developer (artist) is becoming increasingly important in today's media journalism which favors subversive, angry and nihilistic bias. The game itself is great and fun and I cannot see any minor setbacks in terms of quality due to some hiccups in performance. If that's a deal-breaker for you, maybe wait awhile for patches to fix these things and smooth them out.

    The story is great, albeit star wars predictable, but the stakes feel legitimate. A padawan and crew all learning how to heal and grow while facing down the threat of an empire is compelling. Visiting old and new locations through a different perspective was always fresh and exciting.

    If you're ever on the fence and can't decide whether or not the game is worth owning, and reviews feel biased (mine included) you can always try the game yourself, for a full month, for about 15$ through origin premier. That's basically a matinee and combo popcorn/drink.

    In conclusion, this is a star wars game in the end. If you like the franchise, this is a good product for you that's entertaining and isn't sullied by monetization. You get what you pay for. If you a using this game as a way to get into the franchise, well, where have you been? And, this is not a good launching point. The game will challenge you if you let it. If you are experiencing performance issues, maybe try lowering the settings.

    I love this game so its a 10, but its a product of man, there's always room to improve, which it will over time. That's what is so great about having the internet, games come out sooner but not as polished and more people give feedback to improve the game with the general public in mind. Anyways, if you've read this far, you must not be a millennial, either that or you have a questionable obsession with reading!

    The only reason this game got a 9 and not a 10 its because i have never seen loot boxes more useless than these ones. You literally got just different colors of the same thing which is also awful. It takes away all the exciting of discovering all the loot boxes, because its just the same thing but different color. The only thing that changes is that for your sword you can find different parts so you can customize it as you want, but its something that you honestly don't even look at.
    For all the rest, just a great game.

    I love the direction that Respawn took with this particular game - huge breath of fresh air for the Jedi-themed games. Even suitable for those who enjoy Action-Adventure titles with large areas to explore through multiple approaches.

    If you’re a hardcore Star Wars fan, an average, or even new to Star Wars - get this game. Or even if you’re not a Star Wars fan - it’s a great adventure with challenging combat scenarios and puzzles. The game is a little buggy which is expected, as it is running on a high-end graphics engine and is extremely detailed. The only main thing that I don’t partially like is that there isn’t fast travel points, but at the same time, not having fast travel points makes the overall feel of the game more immersive.

    One aspect worth mentioning is that Dathomir is not how we saw it in the clone wars and that’s what I was expecting (fairly expected as The Clone Wars is Cannon to the series). Although the design is off, it is still fun to play through, it just would had been nicer to explore around authentic ruins; explore the night sister massacre and witness force visions and echoes of the massacre to expand what we didn’t see in the Television series.

    The storyline is fantastic as it is cinematic and will leave so much to be done outside of the game (paralleling the same feeling I have about the Mandalorian and it's impact upon the future of Star Wars films). It really does show you the path of the Jedi and helps you understand and feel more deeply connected to these characters that we love - such as Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. It’s just a great game it’s put my faith back in Star Wars games from EA if they can continue down this track.

    It offers great combat and gameplay systems, spanning multiple open worlds to explore, gameplay mechanics crossing between the likes of Zelda, Tomb Raider, Ico, challenging combat scenarios similar to Dark Souls and Bloodborne, as well as lightsaber fights similar to the beloved Jedi Knight series. BD-1 Is a very cute droid companion and is a highlight of the story; I wish we had them in real life [it’s like having a cat in the game]. This game is a must buy for any Star Wars fan. I have not yet completed the story as I keep getting sidetracked with exploration, but it’s very fun.

    While I do not like the idea of DLCs for most EA Games because they seem to be original content cut in order to make extra money, but this game feels complete so I would very much like to see them release more planets and stories as DLC.

    Overall this game is brilliant. A Solid 8/10,

    if you can ignore some of the bugs (they're not major at all), you’ll really enjoy this fantastic Action-RPG. Good luck fellow Jedi, May the Force Be with You as We are One with the Force.

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.

    Play this game!

The Force powers at first seem pretty simple but as you play the game you find all sorts of creative ways to use your powers. There is also some uncharted style platforming here as well which didn't really impress me too much but it does fit the star wars theme, especially some of the cooler action sequences. I played through the game on the second hardest difficulty which gave a decent challenge at the start and by the end i really felt like i had earned that Jedi master title. The level design could use some work, however the levels still fold in on themselves with cool shortcuts and secrets to find. The graphics where quite good , the soundtrack and sound effects where all very star wars , but i did get some frame rate drops during some more demanding moments. The story here i would say got the job done , I found myself pushing forward at points just to find out what happens next but in the end i was left with a feeling of wanting more.

    All in all i think its safe to say we have been given a solid star wars game with weighty combat, that ideal star wars aesthetic, and a fairly decent story even though i would have liked a little longer of a game for full price. I give it a solid 8/10.

    Star Wars JFO is one of the best Star Wars games I've played in a decade ! Interesting story, deep and complex set of characters (minor as much as main characters alike), and rich in Star Wars knowledge and nods from other contents (comic books, movies, TV series).
    In details, the story builds from a well built introduction to what generates the game plot - escaping the Empire's Inquisitors. It lacked of pace during the first third of the game, but got much more interesting as soon as we uncover plot twists during our tomb raiding on Zeffo. At this point, the game got much faster, enemy packs got harder to take down, and uncanny/unexpected events happened which took us away from our main path. The game's ending was quite predictable, if you follow Cal's conversations with the other members of his crew (notably the last one to join the gang), but the tension reaches its highest point ! And although people might think Cal is not as complex of a character as other members of his team, I thought quite the opposite !
    On the gameplay perspective, as I have never played a Dark Souls game in my life, I did not have a base to compare it with, so I lived it as a brand new game experience ! The enemy respawn annoyed me at first, but I got over it really quickly. The progression tree was well balanced and I could update it on a regular basis throughout the game. The saber combat felt immersive and much more complex once you've met up with Purge troopers and mini bosses (#OggdoBoggdo). The exploration is always interesting, as you're always hinted at using specific Force powers to access specific zones - all of it complemented by back stories from Force echos, which I thought was a neat touch !
    In conclusion, if you are fans of single player experiences, this game is a must play. It is not the best entry point, if you are new to Star Wars (the best would be the movies of course), but it's a nice entry point to the canon extended universe ! Besides the few game freezes I had (3 in total, including one where I had to restart the game), the story is compelling and strong, and the gameplay is a brand new experience for Star Wars gamers !
    A must-have !

I didn’t play this game until 2021 because I assumed it would suck because every Star Wars related since Disney took over has been an disaster, but this game is different in every way. We have: Intresting characters, interesting story, the maps really feels like Star Wars and the parkour but is extremely satisfying. The ability to travel to whichever planet you like and explore it and find a lot of different collectibles is very nice. The game controls very good and the lightsaber mechanism is on point. I am so surpriseiny passionate about this game and I love it to bits, I would recommend this game even if you’re not a Star Wars fan. My final review is 10/10.

    Don’t listen to all the peasants that gives this game a 5/10 “decent game”. This is the best Star Wars game ever made, it’s better than the old force unleashed games, the Lego games and the old battlefront games COMBINED. The parkour in the game is like uncharted, and the combat is like dark souls, except it’s Star Wars, and just hearing that should make up your mind to go buy this RIGHT NOW 40 euros is very much worth it.

    In general the game is a platform genre game, where you have times where you have to look around the map to see how do you have to get to the next area, but nothing difficult in general, but a few puzzles takes some time to resolve.
    There are also lots of fights, that are well executed. The "normal" fights against a vast variety of stormptroopers and creatures are difficult enough to make them entertraining. You have also abilities you learn through out the game by a level buying system (idk how its called). The boss fights will take your time. They are hard and you will have to learn through a lot of tries how to beat your enemy. Patience is your friend.

    The levels/planets takes their time to be completed, and at all moments you feel like you are really in a Star Wars adventure movie. They made an excellent ambientation, and the levels are well designed in my opinion. All of them are quiet unique. Graphically, this game is beautiful.

    The history isn't any less than the gameplay in general. It's the best part of the game for the game, and thats a lot to say taking in count the gameplay it has. I enjoyed it from beggining to end.

Platforming even if unoriginal was fun and even the puzzles were enjoyable to figure out. And searching for collectibles and lore didnt feel like a chore. However the customization is limited to your poncho and droid (the ship also, but who cares) and the lore pieces are not as extensive and deep as I would like them to be. So you might stop looking for them halfway through the game. I did a 100% run, but if I ever play it again, I will focus only on the main story, I know that for sure. The backtracking however is as annoying as you would expect, I dont understand why sp games still do this.

    Playing as one of few surviving jedi after order 66 sounds amazing, the premise is epic. The execution not so much, the story is probably the weakest part of the game, its competent enough and gives reason to the places you visit and things you do, but its not something that would keep me playing if the gameplay wasnt as good as it is. The characters are a mixed bag, some are interesting, but mostly I didnt care. However there are some great moments, mostly to the end of the game. The ending itself made me little mad, but it makes complete sense, it would **** up continuity of the main saga if it ended differently.

    Overall this is a very competent AAA game with great gameplay and audiovisuals, but mediocre story and few questionable mechanics, mainly all the backtracking.

    The biggest issue though is the abysmal checkpoint save system, which goes ridiculously too far between checkpoints. I'm not a fan of checkpoint save systems to begin with, but if they are frequent and close together, like in Tomb Raider, they are at least tolerable, although still aggravating and just... why?? In this game the checkpoint saves are far too infrequent though. There is nothing more aggravating that playing for 25 minutes and progressing far through an area with difficult timing puzzles/opponents, with clunky keyboard controls, only to die and respawn back at the beginning, with it all to do all over again. I'm doing my best not to rage quit the game, because the worlds and story are interesting. This save system though.... ugh!

    The game does a pretty lousy job of indicating where you need to go next to progress the quest as well. Maybe I'm too used to Witcher 3 and Ghost Recon type games, that give you a good map with trail markers to your quest objective. This game though goes the polar opposite. No direction at all, other than BD-1 sometimes jumping off of you and standing in a spot, indicating you may want to go vaguely in X direction. Way too vague and confusing at times for my liking.

    As for the people claiming that it's too easy and boring, I would say that they are clearly boasting for attention, or they need to get a life and spend less time gaming. There is nothing easy about this game. Maybe I'm not as crisp as I used to be, but twas a time when I was top 100 in CS, and I've been gaming for 30 years and played about everything you can think of. I don't suck, and I am struggling with this game. Probably primarily due to the crappy save system.

    I don't hate the game, and I want to like it, but this is not a good PC port and it is as aggravating as it is fun as a result.

    I haven't enjoyed a star wars game this much in a long time, I think overall they did a great job, the level design is similar to what you find in the Tomb Raider reboots, the combat while not up there with the best it's pretty solid, graphics are gorgeous and so is the sound. The story and characters were also quite good. Being EA they'll probably ruin the sequel instead of improving it,I haven't enjoyed a star wars game this much in a long time, I think overall they did a great job, the level design is similar to what you find in the Tomb Raider reboots, the combat while not up there with the best it's pretty solid, graphics are gorgeous and so is the sound.

    I played the game for free on Xbox game pass, it was barely worth it.

    Pros:
    -Looks pretty good.
    -Has some decent puzzles.
    -It's a single player Star Wars game.
    -It's a single player Star Wars game published by EA.
    -It's a single player Star Wars game published by EA that doesn't have microtransactions.

    Cons:
    -Runs like **** with constant frame drops and stuttering even on good machines regardless of settings.
    -Mediocre, janky combat.
    -Bad, janky platforming and lots of it.
    -Lack of player choice or any real customization game play wise or cosmetically.
    -Horrible collectible system. No I don't need a 15th poncho skin.
    -Lack of force powers. You only get push, pull, and slow and you can use 3 or 4 force powers before your meter is drained and until you get the stim restore ability near the end of the game it's basically impossible to get back. I hope you like mashing X because that's the only thing you can do without force.

    Mediocre combat, platforming, exploration, and a near lack of anything RPG wise to make up for that makes this a bland and boring experience. It feels like a half-baked, made-by-committee game. Essentially it's Dark Souls Uncharted, but Star Wars and bad. The game might be worth $10 if you really love Star Wars or mediocre action adventure games.

    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.

    As you play through, the game starts out pretty interesting, introducing new and interesting characters and some famous faces of great actors to boot. Sadly though, as soon as they appear they are gone, leaving holes in the game and you end up wondering what was the point...The cynic knows the answer to this and that is the point was to be able to put them in the trailer for the game...
    Then the ideas run out...the game is padded out by Tombraider/Uncharted/Assassins Creed-esque climbing and platforming around a limited number of predefined levels across 4 different planets (5 if you include the short final level. One planet is so not Star Wars that you wonder what game you're playing! And some of the interesting characters you enroll on your journey are not used in the game and relegated to just mere cameos.
    Just as the story is getting good again ...Bam! it's over so abruptly that you watch the credits roll in disbelief.
    Game mechanics are ok, a bit too binary and not as smooth as Assasins Creed or Horizon Zero Dawn but passable all the same. Camera angles can be sloppy but it's not often and the animations are average except the lightsaber fighting which is EXCELLENT!
    Overall, you are left with the same old feeling that EA directed the studio to make a game on the cheap, "but must look great on trailers and the first hour must be good for early reviewers".
    The game is ultimately shallow, a waste of the IP and the assets that a Star Wars license provides. 5/10

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

    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.

    This game is essentially a mid-grade platformer combined with a mid-grade 3rd-person action game. Not bad, not exceptional, just somewhat above average, mostly due to very polished character design. You are not the hero of the galaxy, you are not vader's asssassin gone rogue, you are an everyday padawan with an amusing gimmick who would do well as a detective but fares poorly as a jediThis game is essentially a mid-grade platformer combined with a mid-grade 3rd-person action game.

You are not the hero of the galaxy, you are not vader's asssassin gone rogue, you are an everyday padawan with an amusing gimmick who would do well as a detective but fares poorly as a jedi hero.

    The level design is the biggest failure here. These levels look pretty, and are well drawn, but are convoluted and poorly thought-out messes, very easy to get lost in, and often without any clear objective to deal with, going for a very cramped, tiny aesthetic with lots of sliding-down-ramps and tomb raider-esque shenanigans. You still have a lightsaber, this magic sword that can cut through anything; but the only things it can cut in these levels are nonhuman opponents and ropes.

    If you're a huge fan of tomb raider and thought the Force Unleashed was too over the top and needed a weaker cast of characters, this would be the game for you.

    and i'm not talking about difficulty level, i'm fine with higher difficulty levels, as long as it still manages to make you feel powerful (in a SW game, specially).
    i almost can't believe this game is licensed. Alright, there are lightsabers, and some clones, but you'll mostly fight against wildlife. and none of this wildlife was known nor 'star-wars-like' to me. i honestly didn't buy the idea of being in a SW game. it felt like a poorly copied sekiro with a lightsaber mod. And plotwise i have mixed feelings, not terrible, not great either. it seems rushed. Like, 'let's finish it up, guys, we gotta launch this before the next movie and mandalorian series'.
    it's not like it's the worst game ever, but it did disappointed me a lot.
    it is cool to deflect blasts with the saber, its cool to force push/pull some enemies (even tho Control made me feel more like a jedi than this game, freaking CONTROL, a FBI-ish-action-with-monsters-third-person-shooter) and some lightsaber duels were really great, specially the ninth sister battle, but it failed miserably to deliver those I'MA FREACKING BADASS JEDI that i (always) wanted.
    even by the end of the game you'll feel weak, slow, you dont jump high, you have a disgusting FORCE METER, WTF?, you cant even defeat one clonetrooper with a taserstick without getting hit, imagine more than one, plus a bunch of poison spitting spiders. frustrating as hell.
    if they had to copy a fightstyle from another game, i wish it had been the spider-man/arkhan batman/freaking middle earth shadow of war, etc.

    ps: the endless backtracking with this **** as hell map system is disgusting. and those sliding segments, ma mens??? why? did ANYONE in the offices, while making the game, said "WOW, THATS COOL" ??? because its not. at all
    how the user score is set to 8.2 is way, WAY beyond my comprehension
