    Very good game in my opinion. Story is OK, nothing special.
    More importantly the gameplay is really good. I love fighting, even though perfect parries and evading got harder than the last time. I remember playing Grandmaster difficulty in previous Jedi installment and Jedi knight in this one and it feels harder to do defensive moves.

    More importantly the gameplay is really good. I love fighting, even though perfect parries and evading got harder than the last time. I remember playing Grandmaster difficulty in previous Jedi installment and Jedi knight in this one and it feels harder to do defensive moves.

    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

    This game is good, I came into it pretty much blind aside from the original trailer. And came out feeling like I just played an AD for the high republic era, regardless of stormtroopers being everywhere it honestly feels like the empire takes a complete back seat until the very end.

And came out feeling like I just played an AD for the high republic era, regardless of stormtroopers being everywhere it honestly feels like the empire takes a complete back seat until the very end.

    Right now I have very little care for the high republic, and inserting a full on high republic storyline in what is supposed to be an imperial survive as a jedi on the run story just felt forced to some extent. I think if they did I similar story like this and left the high republic out of it then it would be much better.

    The writing starts to fall apart in the very end, but the story overall was good, but it's really hard to not feel like I played a high republic AD, some may like that, but it could've been it's own game. Not inserted into this. I didn't come to play a high republic game, I came to play a jedi surviving from the empire. For a game called jedi Survivor, I didn't really get that vibe, which I did playing fallen order.

    Also this game seems to really become unbalanced in the parkour/puzzel department, fallen order had a nice balance of puzzle and parkour, and the majority of this game is parkour. Not sure where the balance went.

    I gave fallen order an 8. I am giving Jedi Survivor a 7    … 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.

    Better in all aspects of the game than fallen order. Very beautiful, interesting story filled with emotions. Gameplay-wise, some of the mini-bosses were too easy to defeat. Occasionally met with some bugs.

    I think the story was great, the gameplay was good and almost every aspect of Fallen order was improved upon. The performance on the other hand.... Jesus. The game would've easily been a 9 for me were it not for the performance issues. And the price is totally unjustified. If you want 70$ for a game, earn it.

    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!

    Jogo sensacional uma ótima continuação do primeiro jogo. Grande potencial em ser o melhor jogo de Star Wars feito até hoje.
    Obs: Otimização muito fraca nos consoles da nova geração, deixaram muito a desejar. Mais ainda continua ser ótimo jogo.

This game definetly doesn’t deserve any under 5 puan because star wars jedi survivor has been built up on Fallen Order and Respawn added a lot of new things that make This game good. Gameplay has been improved. For example, there are 5 stance and new force abilities. You can use 2 stance at the same time. 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

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. Falando em jogo, o jogo continua incrível, uma história excelente, profunda, porém EU ACHEI longa mais do que o necessário, dava para ter encurtado, foram 26 horas para finalizar e mais pro final não via a hora de terminar, pois estava massante, a gameplay segue as premissas do anterior com adições de novos estilos de combates chamado de postura, achei muito bom poder variar, e cada vilão exige uma postura/uma forma de combate diferente, isso é excelente.
    gráficos, achei aquém da geração atual, os cenários são lindos, mas a modelagem dos personagens muito ruim, pior ainda a modelagem dos personagens secundários, os cabelos parece cabelo de anime, que não tem fios, a barba do Cal não tem fios, é um serrilhado que fica piscando, é muito estranho.

    falando de otimização, desde o lançamento consegui colocar uma configuração que era capaz de jogar sem muito engasgos, após alguns Path, hoje o game já está muuuuito melhor.

    Minha nota é 7 não devido apenas a otimização, mas existem mecânicas horrorosas no Fallen Order e que mantiveram, não corrigiram mecânicas que poderiam melhorar a experiência in game, acho uma putaria essa câmera largada e que vai pra onde quer, morri várias vezes pq a câmera simplesmente deixava de ficar centrada no oponente, as vezes ela parava dentro das paredes, eu não via nada, aí era só o oponente me golpeando.    … Expand

    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

    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.

    Sounds like a lot of whiny people complaining! I have a 1660 Ti and it runs almost perfectly, so I don't know what's up. Sure, there's some stuttering when entering big areas, but nothing like what these people are saying. When it comes to the game itself, it expands on everything the first game did well. So far I've been having an absolute blast with it.

    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.

    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.

    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]
