    The force is strong with this one! Jedi Fallen Order respects and enriches the Star Wars lore with an engaging story and great characterizations.

And bonus there's fan service customization for your lightsaber, clothes, and more. I was nervous going in knowing EA's history and was afraid if they would 'Visceral Games' Respawn, but happy and relieved to say that EA with no strings attached fully supported Respawn to deliver one of Star Wars' strongest entries yet and a 2019 sleeper hit. Loads of fun!… Expand

    jedi fallen order for me is the perfect star wars game. EA have really outdone themselves with this ne title, considering ther previous star wars games. I really like this light saber combat, graphics are amazing and the story is decent

    Possibly one of the best games I've ever played. The story is AMAZING and there's so much versatility in the combat. No missions or quests are ever boring. Amazing game

    STAR WARS JEDI: FALLEN ORDER is the love child of uncharted and sekiro i can go as much and say that this game is a soul like game but in a good way here is why

    story: after the purge of all the jedi a young padawan named cal kestis survived the order by keeping his head low at some point the empire finds him but cal escapes with the help of cere and greez and with careful planing by cere cal goes on a self discovering adventure to find a powerful relic that could change the tide of the war

    pros:

    the game is just beautiful and everything just looks to real even the small things

    the map is very helpful and you can find your way around easily thanks to it

    the combat is really good and the fact that you can use your force powers in it just adds more depth to it

    the parkour which is obviously inspired by the uncharted series is a very cool addition to the game and adds more platforming to the mix which is always welcome

    the sound in this game is on point and really gets you the feeling like you are again visiting the star wars universe also the light saber sound and all the blasters are top notch

    the fact that you travel to other planets and you can discover and find all sorts of collectibles in each planet is just so cool oh and every planet has cool puzzles you can solve

    cons:

    the controls are super clunky to the point of things looking super goofy at certain times

    the story felt short and made no sense at the end also it was really predictable and a lot of missed opportunities that could made the story so much better

    customization is pretty lame and adds nothing to the game

    performance issues such as fps drops and bugs

    barely any character i could relate to

    a personal con in my opinion that could make the game even better is the fact that they didn't give you the opportunity to learn dark side powers and let you choose which path you want to take

    in conclusion this game is a good one ill give it that plus its respawns first third person adventure game so ill give em some slack there are some missteps here and there but overall this is a solid game which brings me to the final score and its a 8 out of 10    … Expand

    Ironicamante o brilhantismo deste jogo deixa-me mais chateado e revoltado contra a EA do que antes: porra, quando quereis sabeis fazer um jogo incrivel. Entao porque nao o fazeis sempre??? Dead Space 4 pode ser algo fabuloso , basta ter a boa vontade para o fazer.

    It took a little bit of time for me to warm to Star Wars Jedi, possibly due to having never played a Dark Souls styled game before, but once I got into it I found the game highly enjoyable.

Visually this is a really well designed game. The characters look good and are well acted with a great cast of original characters and a couple of characters from the films. The game world looks great. A lot of creativity has been put into designing all of the worlds as well as the monsters that inhabit them, putting the lack of creativity on some of the recent films to shame. You will have to revisit each planet several times which might sound annoying on the surface but with plenty of new areas to unlock, revisiting new areas remains fresh with new things to discover. Each level also has plenty of shortcuts that can be opened in order to prevent retreading old ground. Unfortunately the game can be a bit laggy at times.

    The games combat system did take a bit of getting used to. At first combat does feel quite slow and clunky. Cal seems to take an age to attack enemies which leaves you open to taking easy damage. Once you learn to play more defensively and take your opportunities to attack it soon feels natural. And it really comes into its own once you start to learn more force skills allowing you to push and pull your enemies around helping combat feel much more fluid. There are a few issues that do drag the gameplay down. Sometimes the game can feel unresponsive. When knocked down Cal can take an age to get up leaving him vulnerable to another attack and there is nothing that you can do about it. I also found healing can be annoying at times. BD-1 heals you when you press the Up button but if you get hit before Cal finishes speaking, you won't get healed and I found that at times nothing would happen even if I wasn't hit. The camera can also be an issue in tight areas making it hard to see where Cal is making escape unnecessarily difficult.

    Overall, Star Wars Jedi is a worthy buy for any Star Wars fan or anyone that just likes a melee games. It's just a shame that some annoying issues hold it back from being a great game.    … Expand

It's not perfect as it tries to be too much of a Dark Souls clone then being its own game and has some graphical glitches and problems that need ironed out. But they've set up for a sequel here that should be the start of a good branching storyline. The game really needs to work on some of the graphical glitches and problems that come with that but its definitely worth it for any major Star Wars fans and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who has an affinity for Souls Clone style games.… Expand

    Respawn Entertainment signaled its revival through this game. They managed to capture both Star Wars and Soul-like fans. The deletion of multiplayer and removal of loot box have come as a very successful element, and this is why we are looking forward for EA's next move.

    Fantastic game, it is not KotOR 3 or the second coming of Jedi Academy, but it is still a small beam of hope that we can get one of those games soon enough. Respawn did well with this one, even if I feel the main character is a bit generic and sometimes you just want to punch his face.

I was messing around and exploring when I found this big old frog that just stomped me and what I loved was that it wasn't because the game was being cheap but because my skill level wasn't there yet I honestly believed that that mini-boss is beatable early if you have enough skill.

    This game was better than my wildest dreams. Well written story, well-polished tight gameplay, nice characters. It can be very challenging and very rewarding in the same time.

    I really, really can't understand why they're blaming this remarkable Star Wars game. This well-made video game showed me kind of 'hope' that Star wars series can be proceeded in game. In addition, I think it has surpassed the movie in contents. I sincerely hope that a sequel to this game will be released.

    People say "Dark Souls Clone" like it's a bad thing, but I can't think of a better franchise to borrow from, and as long as publishers do an adequate job with the formula, I'll keep buying the hell out of these games. The combat is a little clunky and it doesn't have that From Software polish, but there's no reason the SEQUEL (hint!) can't be a perfect Souls-like game.

    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.
