   Very well done, totally worth the time. Respawn got it right, and finally EA respected the process. Cant wait to finish it.

It's not hack and slash like light sabre games have been previously and that's refreshing.

   I would have liked to see smoother movement animations for a game with so much platforming, and a bit more character customization beyond poncho colours, bit of a missed opportunity.
   
   While it does a lot of things very well, almost none of it is new. It has iterated and improved on things that have been done before. Which worked, in my eyes anyway, because it is Star Wars. Being in that universe is enjoyable by itself to me. I could see a non-fan finding it a bit bland though, even if well executed.… Expand

While it does nothing thatFallen Order is the best single player Star Wars game since KOTOR 2, though that isn’t a high hurdle to clear. While it does nothing that other less Star Warsy games haven’t done already, & done better, it packages enough competent pieces together to make for an all-around decent Star Wars game. It certainly has its issues, but those didn’t diminish the quality of the overall experience in my 30 hours played.
   
   There’ve been comparisons to Souls games, and it’s no wonder why with the use of what are essentially bonfires and Estus, and losing progression when you die. That said, even these systems have been made more player-friendly – you regain XP by damaging the enemy that killed you, and on death you only lose the XP progress towards your next skill point, but you keep skill points you’ve already earned.
   
   The game’s 4 difficulty modes are welcome, especially since they don’t inflate enemies' health bars. Padawan difficulty might allow you to stand still for 30 seconds getting smacked and not die, while at the opposite end of the spectrum there are a handful of things that will one shot you if you haven’t collected most, or all, of the health upgrades in the game. In 30 hours playing on Grand Master difficulty, I died at least a hundred times. Most of these deaths are reasonable, though they occasionally feel like the game being cheap.
   
   The combat emphasizes well timed counters and evades, and perfectly timed parries often throw you into an execute animation. While these are fun, and the sound effects that accompany them go a long way towards selling the lightsaber combat, on occasion they can make you vulnerable when you’d rather not be.
   
   Movement and control is acceptable, with the main exception being anytime Cal is on a sliding slope. This was shown in demos for the game and looked like a lot of fun, but it’s nearly impossible to control the player character while he’s sliding and kills the enjoyment of what could have been pretty fun, albeit short, gameplay sequences.
   
   Enemy variety is good – I counted 31 distinct non-boss enemy types scattered across the game’s four main planets, split around in half between wildlife and Imperial troops or droids. In addition I counted 11 distinct bosses, four of which are optional elite versions of a planet’s local megafauna and are tied to an achievement. Three more distinct bosses are bounty hunters, reused many times starting about halfway through the game. These bounty hunters are placed seemingly randomly to surprise you during your backtracking across all four main planets. The other four bosses, those that are truly unique, are where the majority of my deaths occurred and grinding these encounters out to learn them was my favorite part of the entire gameplay experience. The only negative here is that I don’t think there are enough of these unique and interesting boss encounters.
   
   While enemy variety is good, enemy AI is a major weak point. On Grand Master the enemies are plenty aggressive, but most of them are also on a leash. It takes very little effort to find their maximum leash distance, past which they won’t pursue or attack you – enemies literally go from running after you with weapons ready to turning around and walking away. This allows you to, if you want, leash certain enemies with a lot of HP, including certain bosses (the bounty hunters, specifically) then jump in, do a small amount of damage, then jump out and whittle them down this way. These enemies, like most others, are also very bad at navigating stairs and elevation changes, and even the least clever players can easily exploit this. I also witnessed several enemies get hung up on walls or other items, or sometimes be unable to find and attack me despite me standing directly in their line of sight.
   
   Sound, graphics, and world design are all good and all feel authentically Star Wars. Certain details make the devs love for the source material and games that have come before quite obvious.
   
   Exploration is enjoyable, with the primary reward for finding secrets being optional progression, health, and Force upgrades. There are also many chests in the game that contain cosmetic appearances for the player character, his droid, or his ship. Since the chests contain only cosmetic items and no progression aids, it’s hard to justify going to find all of them unless you want to 100% the game anyways.
   
   Puzzle platforming is solid, with the several tombs in game feeling quite Zelda inspired and a fair chunk of the platforming having nonlinear distractions to mix things up, especially if you’re looking hard enough.
   
   Despite any gripes, I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing and did wind up 100% completing on Grand Master. All in all, this is a game that does few things incredibly but almost everything acceptably. If you’ve got an itch for a Star Wars video game that doesn’t plunder your wallet, look no further.… Expand

I have those mixed feelings of wanting to see what happens next because I'm enjoying a lot, and the "oh, I most slow down, i'm getting closer and closer to the end".
   
   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.… Expand
