    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.

    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

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.

    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 game is of high quality, EA's policy is disgusting to me. Thanks again to respawn for an exciting adventure, and EA is a shame..

    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.

The gameplay is far more enjoyable than the first game, with a plethora of styles and force powers to suit most people's needs. The largest issue this game has was the unfinished state it was released in. I have a reasonably beefy computer, and I had to run this game on the lowest settings to urk out 30 fps. This game SHOULD have been pushed back to a later date on PC. Developers have gotten too complacent in releasing unfinished games. The reason older games didn't have nearly as many bugs and performance issues on release is that they couldn't just release a patch a few months after the game was released. With that being said, overall this game is a massive improvement over the first. In its current state, I would recommend this to people who played the first game, not people who are just on the outside looking in though.… Expand

    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 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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    I normally dedicate a good portion of my reviews to PC performance and for Jedi Survivor here I cannot ignore the poor state the PC version still is.
    The game launched with very poor CPU and GPU utilization issues, which after thee patches after release, five in total counting the ones implemented right before launch, has improved a bit, but not enough to call it a smooth experience, at all.

    You see, the planet of Koboh is the main area in this game, we spend 80% of the time here and always end up coming back here, also at various times in the day and, particularly when its night time, Koboh exhibits pretty poor CPU performance and very unstable frame times.
    This is even without Ray Tracing, but enabling it makes things even worse, as expected, sin Ray Tracing has that extra load on the CPU side of things too.

    On my R5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti, I’ve played Open World games such as both Spider-Man games with great performance, even at 1620p DLDSR, but Jedi Survivor here can’t even do stable 50 FPS at 1080p, running around the Harvest Ridge riverbanks in the central hub area of Koboh where the Pyloon’s Saloon is.
    This is even with RT OFF, and increasing resolutions doesn’t really do much to improve the poor CPU performance in this game: the code has serious bottlenecks and I have seen the numerous reports, with frame data analysis, from users with much more powerful rigs than mine, also showing how unstable the frametimes can be.

    Brute Forcing through a bad PC port of a game can only help until a certain point, the game is still under performing for a lot of people no matter how much hardware you throw at it, compared to similar or even bigger current generation games.

    I take my time to test every update that releases, and while I have seen CPU improvements being implemented, which have improved Ray Tracing performance by 20-30%, the starting point for that uplift was so abysmally low that not even a 30% increase feels decent, also because the frame times are still very bad, reaching the 100 ms area quite often.

    So, the game still needs more patches, as of May 21st of 2023, and I have just completed the main story, so let’s talk about that a bit now.

    If you liked Jedi Fallen Order, this game is a must to play, even if you choose to wait for more patches, the Gameplay is fun, the Exploration is a lot better than the previous game, more stuff to discover, cool secrets and encounters, it’s all in here.

    Music is pretty decent, with some really epic tracks for some of the most exciting moments but also many of the more dramatic ones.

    This is truly a game crafted by Respawn for sure, something you may forget while playing until to reach a certain set piece at the end of one of the planets and you instantly go “yeah, this is 100% Respawn, no doubt”, and it feels awesome.

    Characters are very detailed, graphically, and well animated, and when it comes to their writing, I like most of the main cast stories and how they develop.

    Level Design is superb, some of the vistas in Koboh are spectacular, everything is seamless when going from one place to another, so good job there Respawn.
    The game looks excellent when RT is used, and a bit weak on the Lighting side if RT is OFF, which is a shame but nothing major. Asset, Geometry and Material quality is great, it looks like a Current Gen game for sure.

    That said, I have some issues with how they wrote most of the villains and antagonists, I’m not getting into spoilers, but I feel that for the second game in this series, they should have taken a few extra risks, particularly what can be considered the “main villain” through the first two thirds of the game…felt quite hollow in the end to me, how their fate came to be, among other issues.

    That alone would make be just score this game at like 8.5 or 9 over 10, it’s not terrible that some characters are poorly written, overall the rest are quite amazing, but I cannot ignore the current state of this game on PC, and I’m aware it also has severe issues on consoles, which in the end all come from the same core issues, like having crashes on PC when RT is enabled in one of the planets, I’ve seen consoles also crashing, and so on.

    Unfortunately this means I have to score this game at a 6/10, until they vastly improve its code. Yes, to me performance is worth a whole 3 points at least, it is crucial, I’m not asking for the impossible either: plenty of good PC ports out there, including some from very modern and demanding games.

    I hope this is not the end of this IP, and they do more with it in the future, I support Respawn in their decisions and I like this franchise a lot, but they need to fix this game’s performance.    … Expand

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a huge fan of Fallen Order, I was really excited to play this game and let's just say that I have some complicated feelings about this game, at least on PC. Exploration, puzzle-solving, combat; and customization are the strong points of this game and are all excellent. The game is absolutely huge and there is tons of things to do and places to explore, even after finishing the end of the main story. Story itself was a mixed bag for me. There were certain moments that I really liked such as Cal and Merrin, Cere vs. Vader, and the final showdown on Tanalorr. However the High Republic B-plot was extremely lackluster, not adding much to the story of the game with Dagan Gera and that other Jedi being extremely forgettable characters. Technical department is where things are not so great. While certain parts of the map looked visually amazing (even on a PC with 8 GB ram), there were other parts of the map and (especially the Mantis and Pyloon's saloon) where the texture quality was extremely low or non-existent completely pulling me out of the immersion. This game could have definitely had more time to bake in the oven and it's really frustrating an expensive $70 game had such poor technical issues.… Expand

You get stuck on every possible environment, enemy and hit-box. Sometimes you want to dodge by jumping - surprise, there's a invisible ceiling. Movement in general feels clunky and not precise at all. Dodging at times is pure luck and not depending on timing.

    To be honest, i could ignore the fact that the game is released in this poor technical state, if and only if the rest is good. But the game besides performance just feels badly coded, fights feel hardly refined and enemy attack combo rng is a joke. And then there is the vast amount of bugs and glitches. NO FUN AT ALL, except maybe for casual star wars fans looking for a fun little story without a challenge!    … Expand

    Another game ruined by a DRM malware such as denuvo and lazy developers leading to horrible performance issues unless you own a 4090 -i9 13900k build. Nothing to be surprised here, EA is doing what EA is best by being an anticonsumer company.

    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.

    Very poor performance and some serious neglect in some of the accessibility areas (eg rebinding keys). This is a AAA games company with the budget and resources to make incredible things and they spit in the face of their audience.

This implies that the game was released prior to it's completion and that it is actually a beta release, despite the clear lack of labelling to identify it as a beta or work-in-progress build.

    After a handful of dedicated users who are also programmers took a look in the game's code, they found that there is an excessive amount of repetitive and superfluous code that could easily be removed with no effect on the final product. Some of these programming gamers have even claimed to have removed up to 50 GB of extraneous data and code from the game and have the game work better than it is for a large portion of players around the globe.

    It would also appear that the newer or higher end your computer is, meaning if your PC has specs meeting or surpassing EA's recommended specs (check their or steam's website for more exact details), the less likely you are to be able to open or run the game in the first place. Which has, understandably, upset a large number of individuals across the world.

    Of note, this 155 GB (See recommended SSD space on the EA website) product was released as though a full game. The standard edition is for sale, both physically and digitally, for $70 USD, with an optional $20 USD "deluxe" edition that adds 6 cosmetic items, roughly $3.34 USD each. Beyond that, an internet connection is mandatory for this single player only game, likely because of EA's data collection and for the purposes of providing these mandatory updates to actually allow the game to run in the first place. But this mandatory online requirement means that should EA's servers ever shut down, which to this reviewer seems ever more likely with each major "release" of theirs, everyone will lose access to the game permanently, as there is currently no known method for game preservation for online only games.

    So to sum, this game was released as though a complete game while operating and acting as though a beta or work-in-progress build, it is online only despite being single player only which causes many issues, is among the largest games file-size wise on the entire market at time of this writing yet if these programming gamers are correct then roughly 1/3 of the game's size is completely unnecessary and can be removed or cleaned up to actually enhance the gaming's functionality and experience, and throughout the world this game seems to be unusable or unplayable for roughly 40% of users (Going off the Steam Reviews system for that data).

    Now while I wish I could review the actual content within the game, this reviewer sadly cannot as their copy of the game is unusable despite owning a high-end PC that surpasses the recommended requirements to run this game.    … Expand

    Performance issues the whole game. But I can't give it a bad rating because im still so blown away by it. Had a blast playing it. The customizations are unreal and there is so much to do!
    10/10 without performance issues.

    I recommend waiting until the issues are fixed.

    Good game, abysmal port. Even after several patches fps constantly drops in almost random places. The fact that the combat was inspered by Dark Souls makes it even more laughable - fighting one-shot bosses on Grandmaster with basically random fps is pure torture.

    Games like these should be withdrawn from the shops and re-released after a technical rehaul.

    So first I had to play walking simulator till the combat tutorial, after that I couldn't progress, because no enemies would spawn in, if I restart the checkpoint there are enemies on the ship and, they just stand there forever, if i restart from the beginning it just locks me again. I have a total of 42 minutes in the game, and I couldn't even leave the Tutorial.

Today its constantly crashing with all famous error screens everybody is speaking. Have 4070 ti with I5 13600k... nothing is overclocked, all is set to default, and I'm playing of FullHD!!! Not even 2K... I'm so disappointed

So, you can’t get bored because if you bored, you can change your stance and continue your game with a new combat style. Also, storytelling is better than fallen Order. I played these 2 game and i can tell you that storytelling in Jedi Survivor is very good. Of course not like a GOW or Last of us but still survivor’s storytelling is good absolutely final parts are amazing.… Expand

    edit: as of may 12th they've release 2 patches. 2 patches in 2 weeks, and it has done absolutely nothing for my performance, in some cases i still dip into the 10-20 range on lowest settings with FSR on ultra quality at 990p resolution. it's actually insane.

    If you get this game, get it on a console if possible, the PC version is a waste of time. you'll get polygon textures with 30fps max spikes even playing on the best hardware you can buy right now. complete disaster. Hopefully this is remedied in the coming days, but the damage is already done to Respawn, and this will go down in the same way Cyberpunk 2077 did for CDPR.    … Expand

    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

    Personally this game ran quite decently for me and I never crashed once from start to finish. The story was definitely worth seeing and I am not even a Star Wars fan. You can see video of my performance at its worst here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrGMdWP-mGs

    Don't worry, that's just the first part of the game!

    Now, others have had a terrible time with the game and its performance depending on many factors. Some cannot play the game. Steam refusing refunds. All scummy so I have to knock some points off. BUT if you are able to play the game it is worthwhile, and this is coming from someone who doesn't complete games.

    This game is NOT buggy in the way like The Last of Us (I gave that game a 0).

    But the bigger question, is it worth 70?

    NO. However I must commend the care, attention, and otherwise thought put into the game's story and setting. Definitely one of the better games in recent release once the performance issues are fixed.

    Some will be put off by the traversal. I hated it at times, but it did add a sometimes comedic element to the game when I was like "where the heck do I go?" If you like that kind of thing and solving puzzles, the game might have higher value for you there.    … 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]

    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.
