    Great game! A couple of crashes on a 22 hour run is not game breaking. The game is tons of fun and the story is really good.

    Most performance issues are now resolved. Apart from a certain boss fight this is a fantastic game!

    A cool, exciting adventure. Great staging, and exciting gameplay. The only game that brought back my passion for gaming and didn't make me want to get up and leave after 30 minutes to do something else.

The story and the characters are better than any recent show or movie, its more relaxed and has some thought put in to it from start to finish. Gameplay is what it was in fallen order there is just more of it and i think its more fun this time as well. Overall its just bigger and better pretty much, in varying amount, at everything the first game did. Hoping for another one in the future with maybe more refinement to the combat system.… Expand

    Perfect , can be more optimize cause some can't play. After some update the game can be probably a GOTY, take the quality of the first , improve them and you have jedi survivor.

    Everyone is on bloody drugs these days. The game is not 1.7 (current score), and even if it crashes every 5 minutes, it will continue not to be. I have 9700K, 32GB, and 3080. The game is playable on max settings ~50FPS with no crashes. Clearly, there are performance issues, but they will be resolved. Otherwise, it is amazing, just like the previous title, and better.

    Results:
    1st planet 56 fps, 1% 32 fps and 0.1% fps was terrible 15 fps
    Other planets 65 to 80 fps, 1% fps 35-45 and 0.1 fps much worse from 7 to 18 fps

    But for me, the game is amazing. Really. I enjoy searching the ruins, finding scrolls, echoes, items, and learning about the history of the order from the High republic.

    The game never crashed or froze once. And yes, I've been playing since release. I only have 17 hours "so far" but the game continues exactly where the first part left off.

    If you hate various jumping sections and for example Doom Eternal was a pain for you, definitely don't buy the game, you won't enjoy it. These sequences are part of, and I dare say, make up 30-40% of the overall gameplay.

    The story so far is interesting and definitely better than the new trilogy. But you can't expect a bombastic character again. It's not bad, it doesn't offend, it often surprises, but it's nothing you haven't seen, heard or read in some form before. BUT that doesn't mean it's wrong.

    For me personally, one of the best SW games I've ever played. Yes, it probably has poor optimization (even my GPU doesn't go to maximum load, often only at 80%), I don't like that you can only have two fighting styles active (although the variations are really well done). Still, I would personally recommend the game. Not to Nvidia owners and the 3XXX or 4XXX series obviously. By the way, tested on 1060 6 GB and it holds 37 avg fps on medium 1080p.    … Expand

The review bombing is just everyone piling on because its cool to $hit on EA. Respawn did a good job on this game. Minimal load screens and huge environments. I had 2 crashes in 45 hours. Both after leaving it paused while working for 2-3 hours... Playing this for 14.99 on EA play pro is literally the best bargain in gaming for 2023.… 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 has so much more content and way to get extra force/healt/skills and usually you enjoy addressing the challenges related to it. There's one nice open world that you keep exploring.

    Some challenges for skill points are extremely difficult and you should prepare few hours to finish them and potentially some backup controllers in case you break some ;)

    Bosses are reasonably doable, not really frustrating if you come prepared. The only real problems I had were with one particular lizard like creature, and some Jedi bosses at the end.

    I didn't have problems with gameplay, although the game could look a bit better. I had to scale to high level of detail and turn off raytracing with GTX3060 and 32gb ram, 13th generation of Intel processor. It wasn't running that smooth if not done.

    There are lot of bounties and collectibles. Customization was very nice and I enjoyed it.

    Generally I would say this game was better than the last one. It took me 66 hrs to finish. I didnt pick up all the collectibles though.    … Expand

    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]
