    WE NEED TO TAKE A STANCE. The gaming industry cannot keep taking our money and deliver unfinished products. This needs to stop.

    AVOID! BROKEN! Watch reviews like Digital Foundry. This is broken and unlike what some (hired?) users writing here it has not been fixed at all. There are videos showing monster PCs aka. Best-You-Can-Buy-PCs that cannot run this stable at neither 60 nor 30 fps. If you buy this you are part of the problem.

    I never give zero ratings for games, however, Jedi Survivor is absolutely unplayable in its current state. Even the loading screens, when you first turn the game on, can't even go by without stuttering. The fact that EA released this broken game is a disgrace. This game needed at least another 6 months of development, in order to get the game to at least function.

    Unnaceptable performance on a PC way above the recommended specs. Constant stuttering that was also present in the previous game.

    When even raptor lake cpus are bottlenecking mid-range gpus you know your game is a mess. My cpu usage is really low, no amount of ipc in 2023 can power through this game.

    If you play on grandmaster, the game scales so badly that it becomes unplayable.
    of course, this is compounded by a poorly developed game with countless bugs and performance problems.

    Shame, even with a 4070 Ti, you can't get 60 fps playing at 1440p. The graphics are fine, but not acceptable selling an unfinished product to the consumers.

    Horrible PC performance. 3070 ti bottlenecked by a 5800x3d at 1440p. Average a very unstable 45-70 fps with dips as low 20fps. The game refuses to render at a native 1440p (stuck on 50% resolution scale) so I have to use fsr. Tons of stuttering, menu is completely half baked with some settings not actually working and the mouse not actually able to fully interface with the menu.

    Shame on EA for releasing this game before they finished it. Beta Testers should not have to pay $90 to test a game. I could not get beyond the launch screen. I have received a refund for the game, maybe I will try it again in a few months when the game has actually be finished by the developer, but probably not.

    It is a disappointing game! Following the CD Project Red Legacy: release an unfinished game as long as it makes money. It’s the worst game, performance wise, after Cyberpunk.
    It had everything to be a good game, but it wasn’t. PC with 3090 or PS5, doesn’t matter, performance is still garbage.

    It had everything to be a good game, but it wasn’t. PC with 3090 or PS5, doesn’t matter, performance is still garbage. Even downgrading graphics or disabling RTX on PC or with Performance mode on PS5… almost unplayable at times. Performance mode is a problem altogether. Doesn’t give you an acceptable performance and makes the game so… sooo ugly. But you don’t have a choice either play at 30 fps at performance mode or 10 fps with fidelity mode.
    If you thought they make a bigger, better game, its not the case. They didn’t make it bigger, or not in a manner that counts. Maybe it’s part of the lore, but Cal is still the weakest jedi ever. Skill tree is kinda big, but you don’t need it. Doesn’t make you stronger because almost every low opponent can resist everything you throw at them. You only need and will be effective using parry and attack. Stances were a good idea to fight smart, but it doesn’t work either. You can’t equip then on the fly like Ghost of Tsushima. Some stances are too slow, that the simplest attack, makes you take a hit because every opponent has really fast attacks. Low enemies were actually harder and took longer to kill than bosses. The story is very predictable. The “open world” aspects its very affected by the performance…. Why would you want to explore this stuttering, low fps, blurred world?! Why bother earning exp to spend in the skill tree if it you only use parry and the force doesn’t work on 80% of the enemies?!
    If you like Star Wars or maybe liked the first game and will buy the game no matter what, buy it but wait a couple of months. If you play it now it will not meet your expectations.    … Expand

    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 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

Quality resolution is set up each time when you start the game and it is decreased automatically because EA thinks it is better for you to play with lower resolution (althouth it does not increase my FPS, LOL) and vomit from what you see on the screen.
    I paid for this game and I regret giving my money to EA. Unfinished product, patch that not working, if you cannot refund - go find some modders, they will make this game playable because they have hands and they know what to do. EA cares only about money, over 1000 employees and they cannot finish the product that they already have. Why you cannot just take the Fallen Order and make a new game based on it??? Is it so difficult??

    I never review games, I particularly don't go out of my way to do so but felt that morally if I could prevent EA from pulling one over on at least one person I had done my good dead for the day.

    First of all I have played 9 hours of the game I have adequate hardware to run this particular game with an i7 9700k, RTX 3070Ti, 64 GB ram, and am running this on an SSD. However the game runs    I never review games, I particularly don't go out of my way to do so but felt that morally if I could prevent EA from pulling one over on at least one person I had done my good dead for the day.

    First of all I have played 9 hours of the game I have adequate hardware to run this particular game with an i7 9700k, RTX 3070Ti, 64 GB ram, and am running this on an SSD. However the game runs awfully. Though it appears to jab with the insulting "optimising for best gameplay experiance" whenever launched. I also take the so call "appology" as a further jab from the developers as ever backhanded blaming the consumer for a poor product performance not the work that went into it. If my specs meet the recommended I expect it to perform as suggested.

    The game takes an almost obscene 129GB of storage space for a single player experience. This issue I feel was made worse by my purchase being activated on the "EA" launcher the now rebranded origin which had a poor reputation at best. I can only imagine this was made necessary as origin was always viewed by those around me as the poor man's steam. A pale imitation of it which a more suspicious person than I may note the lack of a review function within to be somewhat a smart ploy on EA's behalf to avoid criticism impacting on sales. Further to these issues with EA's launcher which took an outrageous 4 hours to download a 3.3GB patch today and apply it with the launcher seemingly verifying the contents of the game to do so which I note steam manages to avoid doing. When launching this afternoon I note the icon absent for my desktop with the launcher now again "repairing" the game taking a further few hours to do so before it can be launched. The PC was off so I don't quite know how that issue has arrisen.

    The actual game. What can be said. Its Jedi fallen order but a bit more of it. It looks nice but that appears to be the majority of it. Until the last patch it would not run in excess of 60 frames with constant memory leaks causing near 70c temps on a CPU. It's hard to keep up with button prompts with frame stuttering that has no place in a "AAA" experience albeit the i7 I possess is not an exact equivalent of the i5 recommended it is close enough and monitoring CPU usage during gameplay it does not bottleneck here. Sadly although I enjoyed the first game this feels like there has been little expansion. The combat consists of small bands of enemy's smattering around the land from wierd creatures made up for the experience that feel out of place somewhat in star wars. This is broken up by significant portions of platforming and puzzles which I must be honest is at this point getting dull. I don't get the Vader or Luke hallway scenes just a few enemy's that should not challenge a jedi or prove more than a slight inconvenience. The inclusion of at least one none Jedi/Sith lightsaber wielding enemy is strange at best. I am supposed to be advancing as a character. Some faceless goon with a lightsaber should not prove more of a challenge than an inquisitor let alone simple fodder why they were a mini boss I will never understand.

    Your force powers appear weaker, given the time between games and the apparent character growth your connection to the force should have been stronger between games or at least better practiced which feels off woth you relearning abilities you had unlocked in the last game. The 5 stances braged about are a joke with only 2 available to be equipped at any one time there is no reason they could not all be available on a scroll or selection wheel or such. It's good enough for GTA V miriade of weapons it's good enough here. In stead I have stances I will never use like crossgaudr which is slow and lacks long termblocking or blaster which replaces special swings for fireing the offhand blaster when the dualended stance or double saber combinded with single blade alone are in my opinion better. Its is galling to see the blaster on my hip knowing I'll never touch it.

    Finally the bugs still infesting this game are numerous. The day one cutscene debacle was perhaps the most funny with audio falling out of time which is a first for me a welcome achievement there. The menu issues with back buttons not responding locking me in menues leading to the inevitable Alt F4 restart. In summary I'd like to recommend I really would but.
    - It is at this point an unfinished PC mess. Appearign to have more in common with a rushed PC port of a console game.I am sick of paying to test a game for EA games for them batte front 2017, BFV, BF:2042 was the same mess
    - It's a jumping/ walking simulator with brief breaks for small bouts of combat at worst with a small squad sized group of enemies - Don't even think of getting this on "EA" launcher.
    - Looks nice but frame rates tank often.
    - I'd wait for it to be fixed and a discount a real shame again EA's shamefully boot it out and we will fix it later attitude is on full show for all.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
