    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.
    The combat system in the Star wars "battleground" games is 500% better

    There are also unfixed performance issues, stuttering and micro-freezes. It's not just mine, do a search, you'll find this is a common problem. The devs did not ever bother to fix this.

    Oh, and while I'm on my rant, the respawn times, sometimes quick, sometimes, it takes 30 seconds, no rhyme or reason, and, yes, you guessed it no fix or bother at all from the devs. They don't care. And yes, I have the game installed from a SSD with a PC that's got 32GB RAM etc.

    Don't buy, and sure they're going to ask for more of our $ for the sequel. I won't be buying it as they're lazy, disinterested, or simply don't care about gamers.    … Expand

    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. 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.

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

    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.
