    This is completely insane.

    The game is broken beyond measure. I can't even understand how it has passed QA and been released in this state. And we are now a few months AFTER release, and it's still broken.

    It's so broken I can't even play it, Ryzen 2600X with RTX 4070. No matter the graphics settings I use, performance is crap. I could live with degraded graphics, but the most annoying part is that the game suffers from massive traversal stutter. On Koboh, I just can't make a few steps without having the game freeze all over the place. With RT disabled, medium quality (not even high). It's even not a matter of above 30fps at this point, we are talking about 1 frame every 2 seconds !!

    I really wanted to enjoy the game, but in it's current state... It actually performs far worse than Cyberpunk 2077 did at launch on my old RTX 2080 Ti.

    EA, you really need to up your game here, and fix the damn game. I'm not buying any more game from you until you have proven you can deliver a game that performs as advertised    … Expand

    I've had this game installed and waiting to play for 127 days now but still no performance fix in sight and no news of one on the way so it's probably never coming. Another backroom AMD deal gone bad.

    It looks like that DEvs wanted to make a geme without ideas how the game should look like.

    I could accept many problems with part one of this "serie" because, finaly we got something new and interesting: story, world, animations, mechanics, etc. But I can't accept the same (problems) with next part 2. The most important here are empty, boring locations, we have same acrobatics again,    It looks like that DEvs wanted to make a geme without ideas how the game should look like.

The most important here are empty, boring locations, we have same acrobatics again, very similar fight again, poor animation for animals. But more. It will not work again.
    And of course, why the game is simply technically broken: multiple crashes, glitches, animations problems and more and more. And hardware requirements are absurd comparing to part one of serie.
    They should use the same engine, do the story the same way, the same long but new story, will be much better. Maybe few more fight animation. Look at the GOWR. This is the same game like GOW, story changed. RE3 is almost like RE2. It is working for next game, at least once.
    I cant finish this game (SWJ: Survivor) , this is a torture.

    Good game, poorly optimised on PC which could have been averted had they implemented DLSS but no, these backroom deals with AMD ruin and limit the potential of games.

    Technical issues make this game unplayable. Worst PC port among many bad pc ports in recent years. This game shouldn't have been released in this state, but the greed of those responsible was probably too great. Don't waste your money.

    I will not even talk about the terrible optimization of the game, everyone knows about it. I want to say that this game is many times worse compared to the first part. I don't understand why the writers made Degan Gera and Rayvis the main villains, they are the most boring and not charismatic characters. It was not interesting to follow their story. I'd rather see a Sith villain, orI will not even talk about the terrible optimization of the game, everyone knows about it.

I'd rather see a Sith villain, or Inquisitors, someone connected to the dark side of the force. And it would be better to reveal the life of the galaxy during the reign of the empire. I also expected that we would see Saw Gerrera again, but this unfortunately did not happen.

    Liked that they improved the combat system, added a lot of finishing animations, but dudes why there is so much parkour in the game, I don’t understand. It looks like I'm playing Ratchet and Clank but not Star Wars, it's kind of absurd in places.

    I would not recommend buying this game, it's better to replay the first part.    … Expand

    Bought this at launch. barely ran on my high end PC... month later I updated it, still sucked. A few months later another update, ran, but still looked terrible. Thought I'd try again today. The update is on hour 5 now, didn't even get to start it and all I can think is **** EA, **** EA. You owe me time, money and electricity.

    Few months late, but didn't want to join a bandwagon of review bombing until my head cooled off.

    Started playing at launch (PC), and after seeing the state of the game tried to get a refund. Since it couldn't be refunded after playing for 2 hours 45 minutes, I missed my refunding window. It was some shady tactics that the first two hours of the game seemed to be the only optimized part that didn't have any critical issues.

    So, couldn't refund it, only option was to finish the game or admit I'd just thrown 90€ to the bin.

    The rest of the game became a slog of avoiding bugs, ignoring screen tearing and fps drops, taking off my headphones whenever the audio glitched on cutscenes. Fights were tricky with fps drops and resolution dipping to 480p. Sceneries were cool - the few seconds they lasted until textures disappeared - if they loaded in the first place.

    The first impression ruined the rest of the game for me totally. I hear the PC-version is nowadays mostly fixed, but I have no interest in ever going back to this game. I've seen the story, experienced the fights, so why would I? It was a horrible slog to get through in all its unfinished glory, and all the more frustrating because it would've and should've been a good experience, if only they'd bothered to release an actually working product. I feel scammed.

    This game soured me for any future sequels or DLC's.

    And I'll not be giving EA or Respawn Entertainment more money until user reviews are out and mostly positive on their upcoming releases.

    So, trying to be as objective as I possibly can, I'll give this experience a 4/10.

    Unplayable mess. I have a high end card (3090) and can only get 30fps pretty much everywhere and only 20 on koboh. Screen tearing all the time, and it looks washed out and ugly after lowering graphics settings to make playing it somewhat manageable. Even after the updates it still runs abysmally.... terrible state this game is in. Never again EA

Protect yourself from this experience. Don't buy this game. Ever. Resist the temptation. Be strong.
    1.5 months after releasing the game, EA still hasn't released a patch. They don't care about the damage they do to me or you. They don't care about gaming, fun or customers. They only care about money. And they will extract, exploit and steel yours, giving nothing in return (or not much) if you let them to. Don't be a loser like I was, don't be an idiot, don't be weak. Be strong, don't buy this game, even if it looks crazy appealing, it's not what it seems. It's a total, unplayable, useless, frustrating clone of the previous game.
    The gameplay hasn't changed much compared to Fallen Order. So this is nothing more but an attempt to steal your money and give nothing but frustration in return.

The quality of this game's content is great, but it is overshadowed by glaring performance issues that make the game borderline unplayable.

    Instead, I recommend you avoid it until a time where EA bothers to fix this game's technical issues. If people keep dumping money into unfinished products, EA will have no incentive to release finished products, as we have seen with their last several releases. If you are a die-hard Star Wars fan and absolutely must play it in its current state, subscribe to EA play pro and play it until you come to the inevitable conclusion that it is unplayable, as you will only waste $15 rather than $70.    … Expand

    If I can't run a game at even 30 FPS with an RTX 3060 on medium settings at 1080p, something is seriously wrong. This looks like an incredible game, but it doesn't matter how incredible a game is if the performance is so bad that you can't even play it.

    The game would be perfect if it wasn't for the TRAGIC port. The complete lack of stability and quality pushes the game to the bottom of the score. I can't even count how many times the game crashed right after the fight with a difficult boss. The only consolation is that I didn't buy it (although I wanted to), and I rented it as part of EA PlayPro and I certainly won't buy it.

    Respawn Entertainment still looks up to Dark Souls, but at the same time they try to make a hardcore game with the most softcore experience. For example, there’s always plenty of shortcuts, so Cal never loses much progress after his inevitable demise. [Issue#262, p.58]
