    Wonderful game, it depends a lot on what video card you have, because graphically the game is simply stunning, very detailed images, music, and the gameplay is all 10/10, it's not a port or poor optimization, it just needs a powerful graphics card, no lower than 3080, because graphics require a lot of resources. Low ratings are completely inaccurate.

    With Patch 7 this game is finally perfect as it should have been from the start. If you haven’t checked it out yet, now‘s the time!

    Gameplay is great as it was in part 1.

    Nice game for me. Now it's playable, good story, I had a lot of fun. The combat is well done, the graphics can be enchanting at times. I recommend

    I initially gave this game a 0, because of the horrible performance. Now 5 months later, it's fixed! Now the game runs with 60fps and no stutters.
    The game is really good, now the performance have been fixed I have nothing bad to say about it

This game has a better story, better combat (mostly), better music and etc. But the issues it has is what makes it slightly worse than the first one instead of being way better.

    First of all, the stances. one handed is not really useful, crossguard is way too weak to be that slow, the pistol stance is not really as good as it's supposed to be and that is mainly down to the ammo being limited instead of a cooldown. I mainly only used dual wield and dual blade in some rare occasions. The skill tree was a little underwhelming if I am being honest, too many situation based skills instead of overall good skills.

    The open world approach was a good idea but not well executed since the maps were huge but not filled with much, yes there were a lot of side objectives to do and make the game feel fresh but the rewards were not worth the trouble at all. This also made the game feel less fun in general and why it is ultimately worse than the first one (by a small margin).

    This game has a much better story, improved gameplay, slightly better antagonists and much much better customization. Yet none of it matter when it falls short on the key aspects, let us take the boss fights for example, I beat the game on the hardest difficulty and instead of bosses being challenging, they were just spam attacking and that's all that made them "hard", you just needed to do the same attacks for 6 minutes to beat them and it became so annoying and boring. In the first game bosses were challenging and fun to beat.

    Performance wise as of writing this review, the game ran very smoothly on a mid end pc.

    I have a few more small annoyances to mention but I think my point has been made. Great game but forgot what made the first game so good and fun to play, this game just ended up slightly soulless and only fun to star wars fans.    … Expand

    The best SW game since KOTOR series. Yeah it has some problems with optimization mostly because **** AMD FSR and Denuvo but its fixed witin 2/3 days after release. On the other side? Great characters, great story, very good fights, not repetitive openworld, etc etc..

    A lot of dumb kids bombing the rating without even playing the game. Probably watched some "funny" YouTube content creators and just copied their opinion.
    This is a great single player game with great gameplay. I love how it evolved from the first part. The combat evolved a lot and there is a lot of variance how to fight enemies. I finished the first part on Grand Master difficulty. And    A lot of dumb kids bombing the rating without even playing the game.

    This is a great single player game with great gameplay. I love how it evolved from the first part. The combat evolved a lot and there is a lot of variance how to fight enemies. I finished the first part on Grand Master difficulty. And now already spend ~15 hours on Jedi survivor also on the hardest difficulty. It brings a lot of joy once you master the parry mechanic and understand how to defeat different enemies (spend 40 minutes on Rancor).
    If you like challenging single player game with great combat - just pick the hardest difficulty and the game will bring you a lot of fun.
    The only negative part is performance, it's not terrible, it's ok. I play on Xbox series X on 4K TV, I have some noticable fps drops time to time, but that is 4k and the console is already 3 years after release, it's analogue of rtx 2070-2080. So if you have rtx 30**/40** series and full HD monitor - I believe there wouldn't be any noticable issues with fps. I mean Witcher 3 had good enough 100+ fps only after many years of release and the game was still good. So this one is great as well.    … Expand

    I don't understand why people are treating this game so bad. Yes, there are bugs and crashes here and there I myself encountered 4 crash and some fall from map issues, but that doesn't shadow how great the game is. The music, the voice acting and combat are great, also the story and surprises were good too. the game inspired from dark souls, uncharted and assassins creed play styles. Recommended.

    Jedi knigt is the best star wars production I've seen since playing mysteries of the sight. I believe that today's gamers, who are hype and down on everything, look at this game with a lot of psychology without experiencing it again. The only thing I find weak is the opening and presentation style of the in-game objects.

    Absurd.

    Story is great in some parts and in some it is like written by juniors, and second is bigger part. Motivation of at least two characters are not reasonable at all. Rayvis is great character - finished, but other two are beyond critic. Some hugely bad issues can be seen while fighting, especially at platform edges. For hard games fight should be most polished, otherwise it    Absurd.

    This is the fact that studios are being pushed by publishers to release game. 6 episodes, Jedi Knights, Kotor are better for now. Developers, you should fight for your game.

    Overall, game is mediocre, however if they could change story and polish it, it would be masterpiece. How bizarre game industry has become.

    However gameplay hasn't been changed much from Fallen order, so it feels great to play through.    … Expand

    I won't stand up for the horrible performance issues that plagues this game at launch, it is unacceptable. We cannot continue to let big companies get away with shoddy releases, but that isn't Respawn's fault.

    Respawn is responsible for creating the best Star Wars game ever, full stop. I stopped playing Tears of the Kingdom to 100% this game. That says it all. Well that and the 10/10 score

    Even if the game was unfinished, unpolished on pc. I am giving it a solid 10/10 for the story, characters atmosphere, music, design and many more. I played this game for youtube and streamed it.

This is the best game of the past few years in my opinion and i have lots of emotions and beautiful aftertaste after I've completed it. And about otpimization. We live in a time when only garbage is released almost polished this is the reality so we need to learn to deal with it. Wait for patches or just enjoy the greatness in the projects we get.... if they have it. I recommend the game for ppl with higher gpus than 1080 Ti and CPU I7 and higher on a pc. I'm afraid on laptop with this configuration will work poorly. And on stream try not to stream to more than one source. And for capture on my pc it captured fine in 40-60 fps the rest was done by obs and davinci. So don't listen to the hate even if it's anticipated, enjoy the moment.    … Expand

    Actually a clear 9/10 AAA game, if Denuvo copy protection would not ruin the experience with constant stuttering. It could be a fantastic experience, but they delivered an unoptimized game with copy protection from the hell. After many performance updates I am changing the score from 5 to 8.

It's marred by some technical issues on PC, but if you can somehow manage to get past those issues, you'll be experiencing something truly incredible. I had about 2 dozen crashes over a 30 hour gameplay period. I know it's been much worse for some people. I still highly recommend this game! The music score of this game by Stephen Barton and Gordy Haab is on par with john Williams original soundtrack if not more compelling. Well done Respawn!!!!!… Expand

    Excellent story and game play. It builds on the success of the first and expands outward in multiple directions. I did not experience any performance problems. The prevalence of negative reviews are complaints better suited for technical support, not a game review.

    the sequel has become larger, more diverse, with a plot that has become more interesting, but there are some problems that have been pursued since the first part (for example, the fight animation curves), but in general, if we fix some problems, then we will be waiting for part 3, which will be even better.

    Just ignore any "bad on PC" posts prior to May 2nd, which is almost all of them. It's a fantastic game all-around.

    It’s an incredibly fun game but crashes a lot. However it didn’t annoy me as much as I thought because as I said it’s such a fun experience, especially when you played Fallen Order before.

    I have to say that the PC port isn’t optimized that well. I’ve experienced some dramatic frame drops at some areas. I suggest to play the Xbox or PS5 version, if you have the opportunity to do so.

    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]

    Deep and tantalizing combat, enticing exploration, smooth platforming, and strong narrative moments lead the way in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. This sequel improves nearly everything and only the suboptimal framerate leaves a sour taste.
