    The game's not bad, but not anywhere near God of War material either.

    The first good and sometimes great thing is that the level art is beautiful with visually vast open areas - as expected from a space adventure game from the Star Wars franchise.

    The level design itself (I'm referring to how the pathways and progression is made in the levels) is not that great. Usually in these kind of semi-linear games you have a relatively obvious path to main story progression, and then secondary paths to other objectives (loot, achievement, collectibles etc.), but in this game you don't really know where you're heading and therefore unsure of if you're about to leave the local area or not. You also open shortcuts throughout the progression of the levels (like the Souls-games) but there is no transportation feature between the different parts of the levels except manually walking. This get's hugely frustrating when the game has a lot of intricate paths to different places and you often have to backtrack through the levels several times.

    Secondly, the loot is very uninteresting, since it's all cosmetics and not anything related to stats or combat. You can find lore related things though, which are fairly interesting, but generally not as interesting as they could be, given that it is the Star Wars universe and that there's a lot of lore to potentially play around with.

    The gameplay is okey. Combat has it's moments but it's just not as refined as games great contenders (mainly GoW/Souls-games) since it's clunky and sometimes very unpredictable. Fighting multiple enemies can be a huge headache since you have to use hit-and-run tactics mostly. There is also very few weapons in the game or different fighting styles. This isn't a huge problem though, since the game is relatively short.

    Story-wise the game is interesting enough to make you want to progress the game fully. But it doesn't really reach its potential in the end unfortunately.

    All in all the game's not bad, it's worth a playthrough, specially if you like the Star Wars universe. It probably won't leave a lasting impression on you though. If you don't mind waiting, wait till it hits around 50 usd or below.

    Star Wars makes me want to stick a blaster to my dome. Have fun playing as kid anakin as he becomes one who looks like he has downs. A robot that’s a dog. With a compelling story of a junior Jedi and all the Jedi stuff that they never explain. The force is telling me right now 0/10

    I like the souls mechanic in a star wars game , the game art looks amazing. It could be better if there is more character skills development (like i souls game) also character movement feels like abit clunky. In overall very nice experience, hope there will be a 2nd part.

The combat is not without its problems though, as sometimes your hit do not register and your perfectly timed parries are not punishable against the opponent. An advice I would give here would be to swap the jump and dodge button, as you would be using the latter much more frequently in combat. The checkpoints are also exceptionally poorly placed, causing a ton of repetitive and meaningless game play if you die. Though this gets much better in the late game, perhaps from the experience gained from combat. Once you get the hang of it, the combat becomes significantly more fun after ~2 hours of play. Btw, block and parry is useless, so learn how to time your dodge and punish. Expand

(Please make it sure doesn't work at least a few times and on most obstacles even if timed correctly). Next, identify ledges on which character can jump onto by making it look like it's slathered in bird sh*t...Check."

    Point is it's formulaic in the worst way. It's Soooo overdone and droll at times and chalk full of infuriatingly unnecessary obstacles or "puzzles". As many have already mention in their reviews, it makes the most fake and insulting facade of choice in where to explore first. "Here are some planets you can choose from but unless you choose the linear path, you won't be able to progress because you don't have the powers yet to bypass huge glowing red obstacles". how is that fun? how can anyone think it's entertaining to have to go back and try to find all the places you couldn't access the first around only to find useless things most all of which have no bearing on the game play itself. For example, lightsaber handles? It's gotta be one of the worst and again insulting attempts at giving one the impression they can customize their gear. Ponchos? Colors for your ship which you almost never look at? Switches for your lightsaber? at what point would I even be able to really see and appreciate my ability to change the color of my lightsaber switch?

    There should be a rule that you can't include a workbench in a game unless they players can actually craft something, not just change cosmetics half of which aren't really noticeable the entire game while the other half are different colored ponchos.

    The animation and movement really made me feel like I was playing an early PS3 game. it's clunky, counteriintuitive, and just bad. They did reproduce the awkward demeanor of the actor judging by his performance in Shameless. It just really is so so so overdone and not fun. So sick and tired of trying to jump onto a platform, falling, running back and trying again, falling running back and trying again. Why would EA think that's enjoyable? I can only assume the game is getting those higher reviews because of the franchise.

    We are soooooo long overdue for a True, Actual and Immersive open world action/rpg Star Wars game. More genuine abilities, not having to use the force to make a quick dodge to the left or right so that i can boot the enemy doing practically damage. A force ability shouldn't have to be wasted on
    increases to your force meter or health. Leveling up should handle that and points should be save for real skills that really change up play style.

    I agree with others that it tries to incorporate elements from the Souls series except it doesn't pull it off half as well. I also agree with others about the ridiculous loading time when you die, especially having just played Death Stranding, a game with much more data, incredible graphics, amazing movement mechanics and yet takes about 6 seconds to load the screen for just about anything.

    The game is overdone, annoying if not infuriating at times and just plain sucks. This seems like it's little more than EA needing a revenue influx for it 's board members and figures they can turn a quick buck by slapping a Star Wars theme on a washed out version of Uncharted, Prince of Persia, Metroid like game with tiny hints of a Souls game.

    In fact, I own literally hundreds of games on my PS4 and am obviously pretty opinionated and yet it I just now made my metacritic account only to review this game. It's just so frustrating to be reminded that though we've come so far in gaming, that stupid rehashed games like this are still being cranked out. Enough already, we don't need to waste Waaaay too much time jumping onto ledges covered in bird droppings, climbing left or right along a wall, traversing a pipe that bears no risk and is just a different looking pathway or again, having to jump to grab a rope after an icy slip and slide or wait, even more challenging, jumping from one rope to another. These things a good game does not make. Only quick cash for EA Games. Wait till it's released for free on PS Plus, and even that might be paying too much. I gave it a one only because of nostalgia in being able to see the name star wars. that's it.

    So I was not really awaiting the Fallen Order in first place, since the last Star Wars games not really matched any criteria I would have to a title out of this universe.

    I started playing the game on release with the Origin Access Premier pass and ended up very frustrated after the first 3 hours.

    This game lacks so much, that is not seen by the testers, or the audiences as well, that I needed to write my own review to this.

    The game starts very promising with your character being on a space station doing engineering.
    So far so okay. I mean many Jedi seem to be engineers in that universe if they are not recuing the universe ... so no hard feelings here.
    The level looks very good. Many particle effects, believable as well.
    The when you first control "Cal" the first thing I noticed is, that this game has literally no weight on the figure. He floats compared to all recent games I played. So there is no real physics on him.

    After the very promising first level you get to a planet named "Bogano" that is pretty much unknown and if you arrive there you know why. This level compared with the previous one is stuck in Alpha stadium of the game design. I have never seen such a big quality gap between two levels as in this phase of the game. And to tell it ... the quality never gets close again to the first level, at least as far as I have seen the next 3 planets.

    That almost made me quit. But then I read the reviews and all were cheering to this title so I thought .... well there mus be something past this level.
    It wasnt.

    The gameplay is Soulslike, which is technically a nice idea, but completely not fitting to Star Wars.
    You are literally the worstr Jedi ever seen, as even some rats are a threat to you in this game.
    Combined with the Soulslike respawn of all enemies after resting, this is just rediculous. The game also NEVER explains why its like that and thats why it is even worse.
    The fighting itself is the best part of the game, and what kept me playing at least a while, but also the upgrade system, which limits you in first instances, as you can get more upgrate points that the story ... or level progress will let you spend is also pretty boring.

    On top they added Metroidvania style levels, that force you to come back to planets just to see all of them ... also not very Star Wars in my oppinion. Which bothers people to play that ugly planets again and again.

    The story is promising with typical Star Wars twists .. no spoilers here, but I did not want to know how it ends to be honest.

    So people that tell something like "it respects the Star Wars lore" etc. read the above part of this review and tell me how that even closely is bound to Star Wars. Its a Star Wars themed mediocre Dark Souls / Tomb Raider /Metroidvania Clone which is not excellent in any of their disciplines.

    Sorry guys, but if you rate this higher than a 7, then you did never play any actual title or good Star Wars game.

    Todos podemos reconocer que Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order es uno de los mejores juegos de Star Wars en mucho tiempo. Sin embargo, eso no significa que el juego como tal llegue a esas mismas cotas de calidad.

    Lo más destacable del titulo es, seguramente, su apartado estético, artístico y sonoro. Se trata de Star Wars y eso siempre viene acompañado de un gran despliegue visual.

    Lo más destacable del titulo es, seguramente, su apartado estético, artístico y sonoro. Se trata de Star Wars y eso siempre viene acompañado de un gran despliegue visual.

    Desafortunadamente, el resto de apartados no llegan al nivel del anterior.
    - La historia es más que correcta, pero puede llegar a ser un tanto predecible y poco original y suele abusar de elementos como los flashbacks. En cuanto a los personajes cumplen su función, estando un tanto lejos de ser carismáticos. Las cinemáticas son en general muy espectaculares pero también irregulares, unas son muy buenas otras no están mal.

    - Jugablemente es un popurrí de mecánicas de otros juegos como Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, God of War, Sekiro,... Algo que no es malo de por sí pero no se profundizan lo suficiente como para darle una identidad propia al juego.
    Cabe destacar el combate, muy similar al de Sekiro (sin llegar a la fluidez de este), que peca de simplón, con un árbol de habilidades escaso y poco inspirado, sumado a unas animaciones que faltan de pulir y a un muy limitado número de ejecuciones, concretamente 3 en humanoides y 1 en otras criaturas. La barra de fuerza y su uso no termina de cuajar del todo.

    - La personalización es escasa y falta originalidad y variedad, basándose principalmente en ponchos y partes del sable de luz.

    En general nos encontramos con un BUEN juego que no llegar a alcanzar todo su potencial por beber demasiado de otros títulos y no saber encontrar su propia identidad.

But this is all patchable stuff. for a force user who can save his boy with a big force power first thing, you'd think a jedi would mind-move that rope a lil bit right?

    What's more is the story seems good so far, there's really good cameo's even early on, and I'm really liking the different planets. I would've liked a little more customization from the start but at the end of the day I should see how it pans out. That being said, this game is an easy 7.5-8 whereas dark souls 3 is an easy 9. I'm giving the round up because of the complete lack of greed involved in releasing the game itself.
    As glitchy as it is, though, the hardest difficulty can be stupid infuriating. As someone who's beat some souls games it's not satisfying, because half the time you glitch a win as much as you triumph or die. that's kinda meh.

This balances the skill and patience to master the game. It creates a rich story that keeps the player interested in the characters and the events surrounding them. The anticipation to see what major plot event comes next with its gritty and dark story is well done and can commend them for that.

    However, there are some issues I do have with the game. The bosses tend to feel like brick walls that attack you. When you attack while the said boss is not in its stance, they can easily slap you in the face with there lightsaber as if they weren't hit at all. I do struggle with the bosses but that might just me being complete and utter garbage at the game. I have at certain moments sad down to reevaluate my life choices for 30 minutes thinking why the final boss is so hard. It certainly has sent me into utter rage plentiful of times.

    The design encourages players to explore the world and find hidden secrets within small corners of the map. They do feel like a maze and overwhelm the player when looking for a way to the objective and can almost seem like a chore to return back to the mantis. collectibles throughout the map are quite common but sometimes new a little puzzle to solve. Same for missions, you will always run into a puzzle every now and then that takes you away from the combat for a few minutes to test your wits which adds a nice change to the pacing of the game.

    Most of all the combat using the lightsaber is phenomenal. You can't fight through every battle without having consequences for reckless tactics to kill the enemy. To be successful you must think of what to do and study each enemy's attacks and blocks to get the kill. This goes for the bosses as well.

    Anyone who is into an adventure game in space with fun characters and a deep story should pick this up. And if your not into these types of games then you should buy it anyway.

    P.S. I just realized the game was really hard because I set the difficulty to Jedi Master

    I had hoped for a renaissance of the Jedi Knight series from the 00's.

I had hoped for a narrative-driven, modern take of the Star Wars universe that did away with complete open worldedness with the need to run endless pointless missions in order to level up. I had hoped for a game that would balance narrative with a strong, fluid, combat system that would put me on the offensive and allow me to develop a character that felt almost, but not quite god-like. I had hoped for immersiveness brought on by a detailed visual world with compelling characters; characters that made me feel something - anything. For the most part, I've been let down.

    To start with, the combat system is stilted and fails to offer that free-flowing, fluidity I would expect from a light-saber wielding Jedi - you know, the ones you see in the movies, jumping, flipping, rolling, and throwing endless flourishes with their near weight-less light swords. This was my biggest disappointment. I think back to the days of the Jedi Knight series in the 00s, where I could endlessly chain swings, I could throw heavy attacks at will, with the only penalty being a time cost to throw the attack (and not draining a force meter), and I could endlessly block pathetic little laser blasts from the feeble stormtroopers. Sadly, none of this was to be. To make things worse, combat is further encumbered by the AI's ability to permanently stunlock you with a single blaster shot. If you get hit by a blaster, you become staggered, leaving an opening for the next and the next and the next blaster shot. My all-powerful Jedi character has the physical fortitude of a toothpick.

    Using the force should have been a pleasure. It felt more like a chore. There is no fluidity in transitioning between a force push and a melee attack. Your character physically stops one action, resets frame in order to perform the next move. It's not a huge limitation in combat, but it does break the immersion - and it made me feel like I was truly a padawan, stopping between each attack as though I had forgotten something and was quickly trying to remember how to be a Jedi.

    The ultimate fail in combat was the balance between offense and defense. The combat relies so much on playing defensively and rewards waiting for the opponent to attack first before parrying in order to set up a finisher. Again, this removed the fluidity to combat which Jedi are so well known for.

    There were a couple of characters that I really enjoyed - unfortunately one of them is killed in the first 30 minutes of the game. Many of the others failed to deliver much in the way of emotional connection.

    Still, the element of discovery as the protagonist progresses through the story, the beauty of the worlds, and the move to a slightly more puzzle and linear oriented gameplay (I am personally a little over open world for the time being) was refreshing, and well implemented (although not overly challenging).

    The biggest detractor from a world design perspective, was the implementation of elements from the 90s and 00s where jumping and swinging from a rope was a big deal. While I did enjoy an element of linearity to the maps, with shortcuts thrown in for good measure, I felt like the way some of these were implemented with random ropes were not adequately thought out - it felt like this was simply the 'easy' option.

    Finally, glitches. These will be patched - of that I'm certain. But at the time of release, there's clipping issues, camera issues, and NPCs doing all sorts of bizarre things. I feel like we're used to this in the modern day of meeting game deadlines, but the fact is we shouldn't have to be used to this. That being said, I'm not detracting any points in my review for glitches with the view that these will be fixed.

    I've run out of steam. Long story short, the game had so much potential, but simply fails to deliver at every turn. In summary, combat was the biggest drain for me, which detracted so much from the enjoyment.

    World: 8/10
    Combat: 5/10
    Story: 7/10 (although, with some of the lore, I could bump this up to 8/10)
    Characters: 6.5/10
    Visuals: 8/10
    Level Design: 6.5/10

    My overall weighting: 6/10 - I place a lot of emphasis on the combat (my preference). if it wasn't for the combat, I could give this game 7-8/10.

    This game basically takes the exploration from Metroid Prime, the combat from Dark Souls, and some action mechanics from Uncharted and combines them into a cohesive, satisfying experience set in the Star Wars universe.

    The controls and gameplay animations are clunky and infuriating. Anything to do with traversal is horrendous - trying to grab vines, running on walls, grabbing ledges is not fluid and breaks the pace of the game. In some parts seems like the character just misses an obvious ledge or rope resulting in death and loss of health.

    The meditation / health mechanic is irritating and also

In some parts seems like the character just misses an obvious ledge or rope resulting in death and loss of health.

    The meditation / health mechanic is irritating and also breaks the pace of the game. I wish they had just stuck to a traditional health replenishment system. eg. just find or craft health 'stims' as you go around the game instead of revisiting meditation points which resets enemies, resulting in you having to re-kill them all.

    You'll like this game more if you are into the animated Star Wars TV shows - the aliens, creatures and motion in this game feel cartoony and exaggerated to me. Understand the stylised approach from a technical perspective but feels too much.

    A few design decisions are a bit out of place in my opinion - like having huge, portly aliens dressed in imperial guard uniforms with no shoes. But I guess if you are accustomed to things like the Clone Wars animated show you wont find this strange.

    They've mixed in some Uncharted-esque tomb raiding levels but without the same fluid traversal as something like Uncharted 4 these segments are aggravating to play. You just want them to be over asap.

    You spend most of your time fighting seriously overpowered fauna that appear from literally nowhere and get stuck in 'boss fights' with 'Tolkien' type creatures. I don't want to spend my time fighting Orcs and ogres in a SW game to be honest, I'd prefer more one-on-one / group lightsaber battles.

    When you do get to fight a group of troopers, fighting multiple enemies can be a bit of a nightmare. You can only really focus on one at a time and that seems to leave you exposed to blaster fire from other troopers quite easily. Constantly evading and not being able to transition smoothly back into attack mode because there's either clunkiness in controls or animations.

    Kind of disappointed overall but appreciate the effort to make a single player SW game. When you can figure out a rhythm and obtain more skills in the skill tree, the lightsaber gameplay gets better. I just wish they'd focused more on that overall and less on puzzles and alien fights.

    Hello. This isn't so much a review of the game (which is fine on all systems but best on pc), as a warning to all those relying on this site.

    There has been a number of paid shill reviews from 'powers that be' with...wait for it... fake low scores. Yes that's right it is now a new marketing trick at my company (who is employed by others to promote and "influence" products), to 1) write fake positive reviews on all sites and social media but 2) to post fake bad reviews which are poorly written.

    I'll explain. If you look over the RED negative reviews of 5 and under you will notice that not only are they short and poorly written but they have terrible grammar and spelling. They are intentionally bad. Too bad to be genuine with the intent to cause a reader who is unsure, to believe the RED reviews are written by idiots. This is a clever new trick to counter review bombing but review bombing is often a legitimate form of protest if a game is bad while this is a very sneaky practice I do not agree with.

    The irony is the game is average to good but the powers that be (i cant name them for obvious reasons) are paying to ensure as many people are snared in the lie that its a 10 perfect game as possible. We should be seeing far more yellow average reviews but the tribal camp mentality has made it a yay or nay arena with the nay now being discredited. These practices are all about never ending escalation because the publishers declared war on their customers once Whales and addicts became a reliable form of alternative income.

    So when looking at this games score...please bare in mind that many of the negative reviews are intentionally illiterate / illegitimate with a view to making you believe only the positive and make a purchase. But the good news is the game is average and fine to buy, though it has some severe tech issues right now on consoles.

    I was not paid to write this but colleagues were paid to write some of the green and reds. This is the world we live in but there are sites which actually will help you spot the fake reviews. Just because I work for them does not mean I have to like it. May the force be with you :)

    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.

    Respawn has shown us, and EA, that single player games are well enough alive and kicking and has set a bright future for the Star Wars franchise of videogames if they keep this up.
