    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.

    I've had this game installed and waiting to play for 127 days now but still no performance fix in sight and no news of one on the way so it's probably never coming. Another backroom AMD deal gone bad.

    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

I was ready to buy your game and would gladly have done it, but you decided that Russian-speaking players are not worthy of it. So I reciprocate, and played it for free. Honestly? I think so too. You could sell decently more copies without being guided by a strange policy. And the second is the technical condition, which could have been much better. 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.. Because of all these casual moments, we have to lower the rating.… Expand

The most important here are empty, boring locations, we have same acrobatics again, very similar fight again, poor animation for animals. But more. It will not work again.
    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.
    I cant finish this game (SWJ: Survivor) , this is a torture.

I have to admit I did not complete this game, I ditched it after beating Ravis. It doesn't seem that I missed much after that point though. 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.

    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.

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.

    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]
