    The stances are a lot like Controls weapon set up..I like that part
    The customization is pretty good.
    The combat is easily the best part
    The bounty hunting can be fun..but makes absolutely no sense

    NO bounty hunter gets their target then waits a couple weeks for their target to get to their location. that's just dumb.

    Star Wars Galaxies did it a lot better and went offline 11 1/2 years ago.

    and i liked how many enemies you fought.

    I could go on...but this just isn't a 70 dollar game...even it ran perfectly...more like 30-40

    They cut a lot of corners and if you ever want to be on the same level as say Uncharted 4..go watch a couple play throughs of that.

    Make your puzzles fun...make the story something original...work on your maps A TON..ditch the Titanfall 2 wall running..and I haven't even talked about releasing an unfinished game yet.

    It CAN be fun and I'll add on the sfx..those were good too..but this is a 6 out of 10    … Expand

    The game would be a 10 to me if performance was better. Absolutely phenomenal game, but the stutter issues ruined the whole experience even if I’m well beyond the recommended specs. The man who decided to release the game in this state clearly doesn’t care about players but only care for their money, so I wish him all the worst

    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is an amazing game and a must-try for Star Wars fans. Even though the game’s release was one of the worst in 2023 due to its clunky performance, the story & gameplay did give a perfect example that single-player games are far from dead!

Since it is EA any sequel of a game that comes from this company is doomed to be bad. Now let me explain this game. Let me explain the difficulties, story mode (easiest), Padawan (easy), Knight (Medium) ..., I played on knight mode and OMG this is so trash. Enemy types have some type of **** armor that literally takes forever to kill them because their amor regenerates (BTW these are just common enemies the Boss fights are much easier for some **** reason). The Map sucks ( half of the time I would be in the same place several times). In addition for PC there is so much controls that you have to do that remember to so simple force move. In addition, the game would throw 6 or 7 of the hardest enemies towards your ass, these enemies are the enemies that have these armor that makes it hard to get rid of their armor and kill them. In addition to that the performance was just down right horrible. I should of known this since many top youtubers mentioned this. But here is the problem the game is 120 GB so WTF is costing so much GB's?… Expand

    I didn't get too bad performance issues and the game generally runs fine, with some minor shattering, so some polishing is in order of course. It is generally "more of the same" game, compared to the 1st part. The story is good, but I am not the biggest fan of constantly and endlessly respawning enemies. Luckily there is story mode, so thanks for that.

    EA, once again brazenly and cynically sold us a broken and bugged something! They will do it for a long time because they said that the game paid off even at the pre-order stage!!! Stop making pre-orders, the punishment for money is the most important thing for them! After all, they have long been dehumanized and sold money with giblets !!!!

    ...
    Well, now about the game itself: graphics, music, character animation - everything is fine. The interactions of the characters are even interesting, and it seems that it is better than in the first part ("actors acting"). I liked the puzzles here too. The general idea of the game with the "Sanctuary" and the sub-idea with the protagonist's understanding of what he wants from life, all these psychological dilemmas, etc. it was a good idea... but the fact that they didn’t give enough level in all aspects and made these ideas somehow sterile and too safe/sparing ... well, by God, I’m tired, where are the normal strong stories already?! Only in the indie segment?!
    Oh yeah, adventuring part... well... still not interesting at all. With the exception of improving energy and health level, everything else is useless cosmetics. For all the fashon-players, it's probably a thrill, but for the rest, it's just STILL USELESS.
    Combat: In a way, it's been made better by adding some innovations and retaining the abilities of the previous game, but otherwise, everything that looked silly in the combat in the first game has migrated here. Nobody fixed anything.
    In short, in this state, well, let it be the maximum red rating. And if they fix it - 7 is the limit. But if the next part will not differ much from this one or be also buggy, then it will receive rating zero from that moment and forever.    … Expand

    This is absolute **** It's not even the bad performance that makes this a bad PC port. It's the actively hostile keyboard mouse control scheme. Every new power needs a combination of weird keys to be used (e.g. what contortionist is pressing 3 + F at the same time during combat). And who the hell puts dodge on TAB, are you insane or an idiot!?

My PC is a $900 pc and im playing it just fine with my setting and i had ray tracing on the bad thing about the ray tracing is that it will cause graphical glitches when on. a the only thing I've seen that suck is when i first started the game at some part the game struggles to load the pause menu other then that the game doesn't stutter or lag on my pc. This game is 100% worth it the game feels very slimmer to the last game but there are some differences that changed what need to be changed and kept what was like and like that cause a lot of game like to change a lot of thing up with the second game title cough cough ea but luckily they didn't do this time so far i would give this game 7.5/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bad:
    1. The Story is basic, predictable and very rushed with long padded segments of mindless chores to slow you from getting to the next page of the story, it spends 95% of the game trying everything it can to distract you from the time period your in and the fact the Empire exists.
    2. The game is masked as being large by using a ridiculous amount of cosmetic collectibles that serve as filler. Perfect if you want to make Cal look like a completely different person.
    3. Blaster mechanics are very poor, from both enemies and Cal. Cal has to hit enemies with a lightsabre to reload while enemy fire will often chain shots leading to Cal being rag dolled around the screen.
    4. Game progresses difficulty by spamming the same thing to you over and over. They always return and in greater numbers.
    5. No Hot Coffee mode for the Spamels on release, I think after seeing those long legs we can all agree this needs to be added.
    Good:
    1. The Spamels are peak Star Wars and a great edition to the franchise I can't wait for more of their deep rich lore.
    2. Minor gameplay improvements make melee combat feel more intuitive and natural.
    3. Stunning environmental visuals that flow through out.    … Expand

    Once again EA delivers a terrible PC port. The game that already suffered from unlikable and ugly side characters now is a ugly terribly performing game overall.

    The professional critics giving this a 80 or 100 score should be ashamed of themselves. They can't have actually played this.

The new quality of life improvements help elevate the gameplay over Fallen Order. That, however, is where the positives end.

    The story starts off strong but then the game tries to tie the story to too many Disney properties (Rogue One, High Republic, Obi Wan etc...) that it never fully leans into leans into anything fully and you end up with one dimensional villains. By the end the story falls flat and into a tone deaf finale.

    Now, I started off with very few issues on PC with slow downs to 10fps only on the galactic map and intro, but after the May 1st patch the town on the second planet is in the 30s, and any interior location with npcs to interact with never rises above 40fps. Yet when I am out in the wild I get a good 60-90 fps even fighting enemies. I have had two CTDs both in meditation chambers meaning I had to start the puzzles all over. Dynamic cloth like capes and sashes will go crazy and I have encountered sound issues and artifacting in certain points though they do not always occur.

    Wait to see if EA continues to patch or resolve the issues before buying. To those that give the game a glowing score because they assume the game will be fixed, just remember EA and Bioware walked away from Mass Effect Andromeda before fixing all the bugs. Here's hoping Respawn will pull a cyberpunk 2077 and stay committed to fixing this dumpster fire.    … Expand

    I don’t understand what’s been happening with developers lately, even in quality mode - low resolution, and in performance mode it’s just a nightmare, and even with fps drop, as if I’m back in the days of Xbox one, I’m already ready to buy pro versions of consoles, because I feel like it will only get worse.

    XBox and PS5 works perfect but on PC is the Performace Bad. Console Versions are better optimized.
    The controls are the same as in the predecessor and the graphics are also better (consoles) than in the predecessor, so I can recommend everyone to buy the game, it's worth 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]
