    I didn't like this game. It is like a bad mix of different RPGs + Star Wars settings. The twist in the end was ridiculous for me. No sense of map exploring because mostly you just get an additional poncho or a color for a robot. They introduce "bonfires" but don't give you teleport so you can just get lost on the planet.

    Boring story, too much backtracking, boring, stiff combat, boring platforming and puzzles trying to make up for it, I'd rather have boring combat than utter trash puzzles, this game's a cash-grab and it's just a way to steal money. "What if EA made a singleplayer game?" game.

    I found this game an absolute chore to play with all the backtracking through the very bland environments and with its unfun combat. After a long time of being patient I case it gets better (it never did) I was disappointed to find out that I was about to finish the game which put me off so much that I ended up not finishing it and deleting it since I hated playing it

    Some of the WORST level design I have ever seen. The difficulty levels are so inconsistent. JedI Knight is too easy while Jedi Master is almost impossible. The traversal is so sensitive that one slip up and it's all over. Also the checkpoint system is ridiculous. The levels are so punishing because if you die you have to start SO. FAR. BACK. So glad I didn't pay full price for this game.

    First things first, this game has a wonderful storytelling and voice acting and breathtaking views, in other words - everything a great game needs to have. For Dark Souls fans this game might even work better by paying tribute to the wonderful genre we all love.

    I was certain this would end up one of my top favorites and was even excited with the sequel being released in a month or so, but sadly... things didn't work out, and that's due to absolutely idiotic controls that are unable to handle the overly challenging terrain. Bosses-wise the game is not hard, it's very entertaining on the contrary, but it's overly arduous when it comes to wall running, double-jumping, rope climbing with the ambiguous controls the game offers. Mostly the problem is you don't have a clear control over jumping/double-jumping, whereas you have to overcome climbing challenges that consist of cascades of the aforementioned techniques, and, sadly, most of the time you masterfully perform some perfect set of moves just to go to waste with the final jump that you fail, not because you're a bad gamer, but because you're not fully confident how the Goddamned jump works here. Whoever were responsible for this part should be immediately fired as they completely ruined my experience with Jedi: Fallen order.

    Before buying this game, do keep in mind, that for people who have acrophobia (fear of heights) this game will seem like the Sekiro of climbing games and a true nightmare. Sekiro I platinumed, but I refused to play by the idiotic control rules set by this game's developers.

    Again - very good story and level design completely undermined by the horrid controls.

    This game is just a below average action game with 10 years old mechanics and new gen visuals. Fighing, as well as the character movements are approximative, powers are a joke and the characters are forgettable. Just for true lovers of the franchise.

    Story is quiet boring and not very interesting to me, but that would have been ok but YOU CANNOT SKIP CUTSCENES
    Very **** from the devs. They also hide the loading screen between planet with very boring and poor dialogue.
    The combat would be good if the enemies were not target locking you following you as you dash aside and still get you. This makes for a very broken combat system where you can ( 2 left click to hit enemy and then right click BACK) and that will take care of ALL the enemies. Every single enemy will let you hit them twice ( with blocking or not)
    The blocking stamina of enemies regenerates to FULL every time you deplete it, making you repeat the whole process to remove another tiny part of their health. Just repetitive.

    The level design is 'ok" maps are pretty straight forward so there is absolutely no exploring around. There are no resources to collect etc, just kill things.

    Overall ONLY buy if you are a MASSIVE FAN and want to bend down for more story. That is it.

    There has been a lot of praise for this game for righting some wrongs from other Star Wars franchise games. However I do not consider that it does enough to become a great title with it's lacklustre, unimaginative and bugged gameplay.

However I do not consider that it does enough to become a great title with it's lacklustre, unimaginative and bugged gameplay.

    Fallen Order continuously takes elements from other games, this is not necessarily a bad thing but where other games with similar gameplay have pushed and refined gameplay, Fallen Order keeps on coming short on the aspects that it explores. Combat can be at times interesting but it doesn't feel polished or memorable enough. There isn't enough enemy variety, there are only a handful of notable boss fights and the gameplay can feel sloppy or unresponsible, especially when the game just throws a big number of enemies your way as a way of escalating difficulty.

    Parrying is one of the main aspects of this game, but unfortunately the game doesn't understand that once you break someone's guard you should be able to deal significant damage so all of that risk that you took finally pays off. All you get is some stagger time to damage an enemy after you've successfully parried their attacks for long enough.

    Platforming is another aspect where the game tries to emulate games like uncharted or metroidvenias but falls flat. The upgrades feel like things that could have been implemented from the beginning of the game and don't really blend well together. We see time and time again the need to wall jump, double jump and slide but it's never done in a way that is challenging, fun or intresesting. Just modes of traversal to get you from one point to another.

    Finally I wanted to note a lot of technical aspects that I experienced whilst playing this game in the base PS4:

    Clippings
    FPS drops (significant enough to hinder gameplay)
    Crashes
    Bugs (including T posing, enemies floating, enemies fighting each other)

    All of them had a significant enough impact that it affected my enjoyment of the game.

    In conclusion, Fallen Order feels like a game that uses all the correct elements from other genres trying to blend something unique but falls flat on every turn. I still feel like Star Wars fans deserve better than a Dark Souls/Sekiro clone that isn't even bold enough to refine or experiment with the gameplay or take a stance on it's difficulty.

    The 1 only come from the fact that the fights are pleasent, but the bossfights are generaly deceiving. There's only PONCHOS and the characters seems pretty emotionless. The fight, that are the only good things, are rare, otherwise it's just platform, puzzles and useless collectibles. It's just a 40$ bad platforming game. Don't play it.

    Where do I even start. I'm about two hours in, in which time I've gone from grinning like an idiot, to being utterly fed up and crestfallen.

I'm about two hours in, in which time I've gone from grinning like an idiot, to being utterly fed up and crestfallen. After Disney disappointed us all with Episodes 7, 8 and 9, I so wanted this to be a return to form for Star Wars, a welcome addition to the franchise like The Mandalorian.

    However, after a few hours with the combat system, it's with a heavy heart that I uninstalled the game, mainly due to the combat. If you've played any form of third person action game with a block or parry system (Assassin's Creed, Shadow of Mordor etc), you'll appreciate that when a game suggests that 'if an enemy flashes red, this is an unavoidable attack, so dodge', that dodging will in fact see the enemy miss you.

    In Fallen Order, an enemy will signal that they're going to carry out a heavy attack, and will then lunge to where you've dodged to, thus defeating the point of dodging at all. I've played games with a dodge mechanic, and it should be a case of dodging, so that the enemy's attack lands where you WERE. On the first planet (forgettable name), you fight a monster after leaving the temple. This is not the larger, 'come back later' boss, just a tougher enemy. To be honest, why in a Star Wars game are we fighting huge lizards and frogs with a lightsaber? How often did you see that in the films? While fighting this monster, I died time and time again, due to an absolutely shambolic and shoddily designed combat system. The game prompts that pressing 'up' heals you - it doesnt. It takes a few presses before the game finally responds, at which point you've died anyway. All commands are delayed, so that parrying is a painful task, and Cal has the controlability of a **** on an ice rink. Occasionally you will find yourself up against multiple enemies as well. Now, in other games, if you're carrying out a pre-scripted parry with a cool flourish, other enemies won't attack. Not in this game. You can be mid-parry, locked into an animation of Cal finishing an enemy, and a second enemy will begin attacking you. Combine this woeful combat system with a yawn-fest that is world traversal and you've got yourself a truly **** title, one which only received such high reviews due to the Star Wars brand. On the subject of traversal, I realised how poorly designed it was very early on, with the first planet. After returning to the ship, I realised I had an 'unexplored' area, right beside the start point. I thought I'd check it out, and I got a third stim pack for doing so. However, I then realised I had no way of getting back up. After looking at the horrendous 3D map, you realise that you now have to traverse all the way to the end again, just to reach a ledge that'll lead you back round again.

    Oh, and the cherry on this mud-pie - loading times are abysmal, especially considering I'm running a PS4 with an SSD, and the frame rate drops frequently as you move around the environment. Avoid like the plague.    … Expand

    The positive is that its a single player Star Wars game and at times its pretty to look at, but that's it.
    There are 2 overarching issues with this game, and if there was better play testing and quality control at EA this game would have been much better.
    1) The protagonist is awful. He's boring and utterly uninteresting; AND
    2) The combat. Holy Jesus f'n Christ the combat is atrocious. Its so badly optimized it renders the game unplayable. I am a veteran of the SoulsBorne games and Sekiro, and Respawn has blatantly plagiarized the gameplay and it is as clear as day they have no f'n clue what they are doing.
    This game is such a shame, such a crying shame, they should have rebooted Force Unleashed and made a more action oriented game, instead of ripping off gameplay perfected by FromSoft.
    Honorable mentions are the onerous, boring puzzles and shoddy platforming and traversal.
    The bright side of this god-awful game is that it has intrinsically changed how I view video games. As soon as they start to suck, as this did in about the second level, I delete it, sell it and move on.    … Expand

    the story is simplistic which I don't mind. When going through the set open world it can be frustrating. the map can look confusing at times, leaving you not knowing where to go, or when revisiting. There's no fast travel, which can also be frustrating. when finishing a level you'd have to run all the way back to the ship.

    For **** sakes the control mechanics are horrendous in this game, parrying is absolutely inconsistent and its overall very clunck... Only reason this doesn't get a 0 is because good graphics and good story

    The story is stupid and written by retard.
    Its a walking simulator with extra steps.
    And game controls for PC are joke. Absolutely worthless.

    If you want some of the game to rise your blood pressure than be my guest play.

    This game could've been so much better, but I didn't really enjoy it that much.
    Cal Kestis is an absolute **** protaganist and nearly doesn't have any emotions at all.

    I don’t normally quit games. There’s only 3 games I put down before completing, this is one of them. Just about everything in this game is infuriating. When I first picked it up it was my 5th or 6th playstation game I’d ever played. I put it down and played a ton more games. I decided to come to this hoping I’d have gotten better at games and the Playstation in general. NOPE!

    This is the    I don’t normally quit games. There’s only 3 games I put down before completing, this is one of them. Just about everything in this game is infuriating. When I first picked it up it was my 5th or 6th playstation game I’d ever played. I put it down and played a ton more games. I decided to come to this hoping I’d have gotten better at games and the Playstation in general. NOPE!

    This is the second game where I lowered the difficulty and only the first game where I then KEPT the difficulty at the easiest level, and I did this after picking the game back up after months of playing and beating other games.

    What’s so difficult? Let me count the ways:

    1) COMBAT I can’t parry or block, almost ever! Regular enemies are like bosses in their power when on second difficulty. Even the easiest difficulty some are super difficult. At least I can get to a save point and restore health right……?

    2) HEALTH Meditation regains your health but respawns all the enemies so more often then not, having to get back to the ship means going through the same extremely difficult challenge! It makes moving so slow and difficult! I could get more health stims but many of these are so hard to get to, it’s like an entire level just to reach it, multiple climbing challenges and puzzles and enemies and trying to find your way through the maze-like location. Maybe having a map would help…..?

    3) MAP The map is garbage! It’s semi transparent for all areas you’ve been too, all overlapping each other and their all in a blueprint format so all areas have the same color and texture. You have to figure out by shape where things are and where you’ve been. It still doesn’t show you where collectibles are nor does it show you areas you haven’t been to. There’s no way to know those areas exist unless you somehow can navigate through the maze of a world, battling countless near impossible enemies to find them. There’s also no way point for objectives other than yellow markers for where you can start to enter an area you haven’t been, green highlighted objects for shortcuts you have to find on your own and the ship. It’d be so much better to fast travel…..

    4) NO FAST TRAVEL When you finish the main storyline, you have to walk/run all the way back, usually having to fight the same enemy as you had already fought. And hopefully remember the way you got there because the map isn’t helpful in the world is quite the maze, occasionally you can’t even go back the way you came down. But really with all the parkour it should be fun to get back on foot….

    5) PARKOUR / TRAVERSAL As I said, getting back is painful enough with the enemies and trying to figure out where you are and need to go. I’ll add here that when going from the start of the map you’ll have several areas you slide down. It’s near impossible to steer myself. I’m always flying off! And I’ve beaten Mario Cart 8 Deluxe! I’ve beaten the mini races in the Mafia games and Rage 2. I can steer, okay?? Just not in this damn game. 6) Graphics looked okay at first on my original PS4 but after playing other games like Hellblade and Last of Us 2… these graphics have frayed edges all over the place. Facial animations are lacking. The character design sometimes looks REALLY phoned in like our lead characters childhood trainer. The game freezes at certain parts ALL the time. It’s one of the longest to load games I’ve ever played (which sucks when I keep dying!)

    It’s just really NOT a fun game. I am only playing it now to complete it so I don’t feel I waste of my money. But I’m not having a good time. I’m not even trying to follow the story anymore. Most of the time it’s on mute while I listen to a podcast or something else to keep my rage at bay.

    Screw this game.

    PS: The opening scene was incredibly fun! The first 15 - 20 minutes are greatly missed and feel like they were designed by someone else entirely.    … Expand

    ~Lets review the game as a single player SW experience. and we can compare it other better/similar SW experiences.

    ***The Gameplay is CLunky!
    Even once you master the movement and attacking and defense= it's still clunk or sluggish..
    Maybe it's the mediocre animation in the attacks/movements i dunno.. This usually ISN'T a deal breaker and usually only cost a game score of 1 point give/take.

    ~~Setting= Well atleast they avoided the awful non-canon mdeiocre Disney sequel story..
    THIS is the problem with Disney murdering the EU/Legends.. All the great heroes & villains o the books who would be great story pieces are not available.
    ~~The Seventh Sister/Brother is 100X worse in every way compared to the original Imperial Inquisitors or Dark SIde Acolytes.
    These Dudes had fleshed out stories.
    BTW~ Many of these stories/character are from years before EPisode 1-3 prequel era books..
    They we're the popular young reader books of the 1990's that are still floating around out there..
    *Check out "The Glove of Darth Vader" ~or~ "Kenobi's Lightsaber" " Lost City of the Jedi "
    These books set the story of The Empire being alot darker and Sith like compared to the more modern Evil corporate dictatorship.

    ~Comparing this game to The Force Unleashed & Jedi Knight Games(Academy,,Outkast)
    because they are both ARPG like adventure games w/ jumping etc.

    Well The Force Unleashed is a tad more arcadey where Fallen Order tried to be more realsistic/Sim like...Well when you go realistic Sim it's ALWAYS ging to be less fun and clunky because they are removing the uber parts.. which is nonsense considering force sensitivity and a trained Jedi apprentice close to the trials at that.
    ALSO,,TheForceUnleashed played around with a "what-if" story of what-if you had a Super super force powered Jedi who was born of TWO(not 1) Jedi parents.. This is something we never had before. esp since Jedi weren't allowed to father offspring and if they didn it wouldn't be with another Jedi.

    What I did like:
    - BD-1
    - Comes free with EA Play subscription
    - backtracking

    What I didn't like:
    - bugs, glitchy, boring combat
    - characters
    - story is basically erased with the ending
    - voiceover
    - you collect freaking ponchos
    - the collectibles don't add to the game
    - boring platforming
    - you have few moves in combat, every better move requires the force

Even on PS5 there are plenty of freezes and FPS drops.

This is not it. While the story is slightly above average, and the voice acting and motion capture brings the characters to life, that is where the praise ends for Fallen Order. The traversal is clunky and infuriating, with Cal making crazy leaps and falls off into oblivion and respawning with a slightly lower health bar, akin to the Legend of Zelda but without the charm or tact. The save point system is ridiculous and outdated, suitable for MMORPG's that require grinding of monsters, not a single player story driven RPG. The lightsaber combat is nice and satisfying-if you are facing a single enemy, which is about 20% of the time. Boss fights are boring and unsatisfying, with dark souls-esque gimmicks and patterns, but the overall lack of refinement makes it feel unsatisfying and unrewarding. I felt myself plodding through, just trying to get to the next area to see if the game miraculously started being fun. News flash, it didn't. Do not buy this game. Get a month of EA Play, give it a go for a few days until the charm of lightsaber customization and cute robots wears off, then put it down and move on to something better.… Expand

    + sound
    + lightsaber customization
    + Cool transitions between single and dualwielded lightsabers
    + BD-1

    Cons
    - Blocking system
    - Basic movement
    - Character and ship customization are just reskins with no details (looting chests is just useless)
    - Story is linear
    - Characters are flat and poorly written
    - Unecessary jumping and climbing sequences with buggy controls
    - Fauna is buggy with undodgable attacks (if you can you want to avoid it)
    - Load times on respawn are way too long (Played of PS5 and encountered more than 2 minutes loads)
    - Fighting more enemies at once is just infuriating (they always interrupt your combo)
    - Fights are very repetitive
    - Behind every second corner there is an enemy who attacks on sight
    - Unskippable cutscenes

    It is Uncharted and Sekiro ripoff, but all the things that make these games great are done very poorly. The climbing is buggy and the game forces you to walk/climb the same path several times over. I am not a fan of the bonfire/meditation mechanic.

    If this wasn't a Star Wars game it would have at most 60.

    This game is difficult and I don't mean challenging, I don't mind challenge, I finished Kingdome Come Deliverance on Hardcore with all negative perks. It is so infuriating trying to block some attacks and the attack still goes through. It ruins the pace of the game and you have to stick to the most basic combos which just gets boring. Once you get L1 Square combo there is no point in using anything else.

    It looked so promising but it's a disapointment.    … Expand

It doesn't really use the gameplay to tell its story. I don't know the actual ratio but I'd say it's somewhere around 4 parts cut scene to 5 parts gameplay.

Did this twice on me- last time when I was just about through the level. I threw my controller and deleted the game. The gameplay itself is pretty good- action/adventure- kind of like Uncharted. I just hated the dying mechanic. Wouldn't really recommend.

    Other flaws include:
    - Long load times/death screens

    - Inaccurate difficulties where even the second lowest difficulty needs mastery of combat (I've beaten GoT on hard, they did difficulty and combat right) because of the janky combat and enemies

    - Ledges and rails need 100% precise landing or you fall off (feels like you can't even be off kilter by 1cm)

    - Enemies that move like a ragdoll, flailing their arms half the time you don't even know what direction they're moving (not all of them)

    - Bad tutorials and explanations of mechanics

    - Horrible map system

    - Character doesn't even mark locked chests on map, so you can go back to them once you get the required skill

    - Too much backtracking needed if you wanted to go back and get to areas or chests you couldn't otherwise get to before, with no tracking available

    - Getting skills you learned when you were a kid as a reward to finishing tombs

    - Tombs/puzzles drag on for way too long

    The good things:
    - Music

    - Force is fun to use    … Expand

    The bugs make this adventure unfathomably tedious at times. Though both the story and gameplay were trite, they were good enough to deliver a decent experience. It's disappointing that it barely added anything meaningful to the Star Wars universe we all know and love but what else can you expect from a developer that is known for making first-person shooters?

    This is a 4/10 game that has been boosted by Star Wars tinted glasses. It really is a POS. Buggy, ugly, just lacking in care. It’s 80% terrible, 20% cool lightsabering (that gets old quickly).

    After a year the game still suffers frame drops and some bugs.
    Some mechanics are broken, jumping is redicilous. Combat is very bad and doesnt satistify players. The game is kinda hard. Its world is overwhelming and confusing even with holomap.

    This game has great visuals and can feel great but as a video game it has no ambitions and accomblish nothing. Every aspect of the game is ripped off from dark souls or shikura shadows die twice and done so poorly. the story is simple and forgettable.

    there can be a great atmosphere and the lightsabers look cool but that is it. the way this game works is that you can travel to different "planets" and then explore the place and do missions. The maps are designed so that you can go to these save points and doing this will reset any enemies in their original positions (perhaps the worst decision in any game ever, it completely breaks immersion and makes no sense in the world) the combat is simplistic, parry and slash and done. it got boring quick and the game has ABSOLUTELY ZERO replayability. play this once or twice and you have seen it all.

    The lightsaber is the most important thing in any star wars game and in this one it can feel pretty good, you can design it yourself (quite late in the game in my opinion) you have no decision in whether you want a double lightsaber, witch i found to be a childish weapon. Here´s the kicker though, all the parts of the lightsaber are based on a real world experience in disney world or something like that wich gives it a bad commercial feel to it, and it makes you look for parts in the worlds which is a chore to do because of the **** level design.

    3) Jumps are so horrible... You stand in front of a ledge and you can grab on it from 1 jump or after 3 jumps.. wtf?? Jumping from 1 wal to another while hanging on the wall -takes about 3-4 tryes or more for a successful jump. Yes you fall and loose HP.. Well don EA.. Nice jumping physics.
    4) DIFFICULTY!! Yes this is god damn main problem.
    - Easy level - bots are very stupid they stand on 1 place for 4-5 seconds like they dont see you. dont attack.. then make a weak attack and another 5 seconds without action.
    - Medium level - You suffer! Suffer even from critters bugs spiders.. they eat you alive. Bosses own you totally. 2 hits you are dead. You dont enjoy game you suffer. Suffer from input lag and 60 seconds loadings after death.
    - Hard level - you just suffer. from any thing.

    So there is no medium level only "Easy boring", and "Suffer, **** settings.

    Im very dissapointed. I dont enjoy the game. I have to play on medium but each time there is a boss i have to switch to easy. other wise it is too boring with ordinary mobs and to frustrating to keep running to thew boss for another try and wait 60sec for load after death...    … Expand

    Short version: This is a mediocre button-mashing arcade nightmare that doesn't even have the common decency to wrap any kind of interesting story or characters around the core gameplay. This game already exists 1000 times over, and has probably been done 1000 times better. The only difference you're getting here is the "Star Wars" label & some slightly Star Wars-ish skins to go over top of the steaming mediocrity.

    A little more detail (but not too much because any time spent on this game is a WASTE):
    It's a pure platformer. For those (like me) who were hoping we'd get something more akin to KOTOR, you will be massively disappointed.

    The story that goes along with this game is flat out boring and superficial, straight out of the "Disney SW for Dummies" manual . Every silly cliche you can think of is smashed together in a haphazard way that ends up giving you a really bad taste in your mouth. Because of the childish and trite story, the characters you interact with are just not that interesting...before any "reveals" happen, you already know their backstory and you also already know the big "OMG" surprises that are to come...and yes, they suck.

    After the disaster of a story, there's not really that much left to talk about. Gameplay is boring and overdone. As many have said, Uncharted and other games have done many of these mechanics better. There's nothing new here and nothing that's actually done well here. Graphics are ok but nothing special, and most of the controls are just clunky. I couldn't even finish this game because it was just so damn boring

    Final verdict...I can usually kind of let this kind of thing slide and say meh whatever, boring, mediocre game, don't waste your time. BUT...the way EA marketed this trash and the way it soils an already hurting yet beloved Star Wars universe is the final kick in the b*lls that makes me say no, this is trash and EA should be lambasted (again) for doing this kind of crap to people. This is an obvious "let's get cash" hacked-together piece of garbage that takes advantage of SW fans who have been hurting for some GOOD material for a while. Screw EA, Star Wars fans deserve better than this steaming turd    … Expand

    This wasn't a particularly exciting game. Lack of Star Wars feeling is overshadowing, boring maps/worlds, repetitive and strange enemies. Reminds of the Mad Max game at most.

The main combat strategy is to parry but it feels extremely sluggish and slow and many times I’ve requested a stim (health regeneration) and the command goes unheard.

    As someone with limited time to play games, the shame of Fallen Order stems from multiple frustrations. It’s hard to fight and, worse, it’s hard to move. The game’s timing issues distracted me from both the story and the beautifully constructed worlds; I was too focused on simply staying alive. My many (many, many, many) deaths discouraged me from exploring worlds — all of them beautiful — as did the simple fact that traveling by foot (even a Jedi’s Force-enhanced feet) takes forever.
