    Had this game not suffered from poor frame rate and stuttering on ps4, i would have given it a 10/10. Great adventure!

    There are two major flaws that I have found with this game that are absolutely infuriating.

Secondly the combat is infuriating due to the near inability to time blocking against multiple enemies as stamina runs out way to quickly even against two enemies. It is near impossible to be able to time this on the higher difficulties. Story however is good just gameplay frustrations.… Expand

    STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order is one of those games that really leave an unexpectedly positive impact, it being my second Star Wars game ever (After SW: Phantom Menace on PlayStation 1), this game felt like a great throwback, tribute, revival and step up for the Star Wars series in the gaming field.

    Graphic wise, the game is top notch, and hard to diminish nor negatively criticize, the lighting and shading is one of the best that I've seen yet, the textures are clear and detailed, and the models are well sculpted and smooth.
    The gameplay is also nothing to ignore, the LightSaber combat is a great Hit, block and dodge type of thing, very well executed, the movement is fluid, and the use of the Force is quite creative and fun, the UI is simple, distinct and great, the skill tree is well put and balanced, however this doesn't excuse the very limited attacks that range from what feels like 5 different animations only in finisher, and some minor bugs when falling off the map or simply approaching the edge.
    The Music is nothing too fancy, simple, not that catchy, but still good, on the other hand, the audio effects are great, either it is the LightSaber, environment or the simply the vehicles and tangible structures.
    In Summary, I haven't yet finished the game, and I'm intending to do so, but I feel 3.2 hours is good enough for me to already cite my impression of this game, which I humbly give a 7.5/10    … Expand

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    I mean, it was ok, at times. Visually it was nice, most of the time. Frustrating? Most of the time. Repetitive? Most of the time. Plus the worlds are endless and on multiple levels. I don't know how many times I got lost. When I finished it, I never touched it again.

    The shoved the clunkyness of Gears of War into Bloodborne, and the result is frustrating. It seems impossible to find any rhythm in combat, you'll hear that alot. Bloodborne is my 2nd best game of all time, behind only The Ocarina of Time. There is some fantastic presentation here and some fun exploring, but even turning down the difficulty to story mode, it felt like a chore.

    Graphics are good but after about an hour of playing the game becomes an obstacle course. Super irritating I much preferred the storyline of the force unleashed and battlefront 2.

    Okay game.
    Pros : The robot is cute, the environment is interesting, and the facial animations are top notch.
    Cons: The boss design is horrible and lazy especially lightsaber wielding bosses

    One of the shortest games i ever played, takes the entire game...
    To make your custom lightsaber, then it ends. there just isnt alot too do.
    It felt pretty solid, not terrible story, but its ending is the worst part of it.
    Good for 1 playthrough, then forget it

    I don't play Star Wars games, but this was OK. Plenty of frustrating bits, but the overall experience was fine. I can't give a solid recommendation as the various game design shoices might not be to many people's liking, and I was thankful that the game was relatively short: I enjoyed things, but I wasn't hungry for much more.

    - Jogabilidade
    - Cenários

    Contras:
    - Performance (Drop fps)
    - Bugs (npcs travados)
    - Otimização (no geral é pessima)

    Conclusão:
    Game é divertido mas muito bugado e mal otimizado, recomendo se for fã da franquia.

    Fallen Order is a Star Wars classic. It is by far the Star Wars game I have enjoyed the most, and it's a game I keep replaying.

It makes Cal's struggles seem all the more relatable as his struggles don't conflict with my gameplay experience, which is one of getting up after failing again and again. It's a theme the game repeats at many times, especially during Cal's flashbacks to training. However, the challenging and rewarding nature of the combat system is what sets Fallen Order apart from other Star Wars games, at least for me. It made beating a difficult area or a difficult boss feel rewarding, and it was an experience that left a permanent impression on my gaming memory.… Expand

    Unskippable cut scenes, unforgivable. Even worse, play on NG+, you still can't skip them. Ridiculous. The devs had ample feedback, massive feedback in fact that this was needed and just ignored it.

    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

    I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the Star Wars aspect of this game. However, I didn't realize how big the world was going to be, and I won't finish the game for a long time because the backlog of games I have on my list is too long to give this one a try. I get it's a short game, but it's looking like it's a short game with most of the game running between areas.

    I liked the combat well enough. I'm not into the sort of skill tree this game chose. I made it halfway through the first world and I went, uh oh, it doesn't look like exploring the world will be fun and the game's cramming it down my throat.

    Good game, I would have enjoyed it further had it felt like there was more action. I also was enjoying the story. But goodness, the puzzles in this game were limited enough to where I just wanted to progress in the story. I don't play Star Wars to climb and zipline.    … 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.

    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    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.

    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.

    If you get over a slower start without powers, we can assure you, that it will only get better and better. An entertaining mix of Uncharted, Tomb Raider and Dark Souls set in the Star Wars universe. You don’t have to worry; the game is worth its full price. [Issue#300]

    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.
