    I have been waiting for the game since 2016, and my expectations are not in vain. This game is one of the best star wars games. The gameplay is peppy, although I do not like souls like games, but I am a big fan of star wars, and for them I was ready to play this game. The plot is very good, certainly not 10/10 but still very interesting. In general, I am very satisfied, I recommend to buy.

    1. Too bad optimization, corridor shooter, which does not even have large locations.
    2. The price-55$ Ah too many for game, that can be pass for 10 hours. 3. Too monotonous locations, where you just run around with yourself, no settlements, cities, quests, even communication between the characters only plot. 4.The plot is ill-conceived, simple, incomprehensible, cheap.

    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.

Gameplay is good and the game finds ways to challenge you, the enemies are not easy but they aren't extremely difficult to beat either which just makes it more memorable. The Dodge/counter system is infuriating at times as it feels that many enemies are faster and have a better target system than the character. I found myself at times dodging an attack and timing it perfectly only for the enemy to strike me again before I could even recover from the dodge. The biggest problems would be the graphical bugs (which it has plenty) and the loading screens which seem to feel eternal specially when a boss kills you and all you want is to just get back to try and beat it again. Overall it is a good game but what really got me was the story and the characters which is why I'm giving it this rating and I can't believe I'm saying this about an EA game but, I can't wait for the next one.… Expand

Yes, the game's not perfect, there are a few bugs to be found.....but then again, what game DOESN'T have a few glitches here and there (as I recall, Witcher III had a plethora of bugs, yet it's heralded as one of the greatest games of all time, yet this game is penalized for it? Yeah, THAT makes sense! Lol). People also seem to be a bit harsh on the main character, saying he's boring. I honestly don't have a problem with him, but to each their own I suppose. It just seems like there's a lot of nitpicking going on about this game, but again, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. As for me, I'm enjoying this title..... MUCH more than the boring, overrated Death Stranding! (How that game, as well as the one millionth damn Pokemon game has a higher Metacritic score than this game is beyond me) Anyway, in conclusion, do yourself a favor and pick this title up. You won't be disappointed!… Expand

    Gameplay is poor and repetitive. The combat system is absolute trash.
    Enemies are strong as in Dark Souls.
    Save game is out of date. (Bonfire style included)
    Good graphics but the story is simple, nothing special.

    The BAD: Not enough role playing aspects. For example no stats, just skills, no equipment to change stats, all changes to light-saber are purely cosmetic, so are poncho and equipment changes. I would have liked a more traditional RPG    THE GOOD:

Here's my breakdown:

    Gameplay: 4/10
    The controls feel a bit awkward, and you can't adjust the controller sensitivity. Also, when the character moves through the environment, it feels like he's programmed to essentially be a straight line perpendicular to the ground, and when you turn, it just changes the angle of the line. It makes for an odd experience and it always feels like you're anchored to the ground and slave to some strange set of non-newtonian physics. The combat is alright, the respawns are painful.

    Presentation: 3/10
    You'll notice right out of the gate that the graphics for characters are noticably worse than the environments/effects, particularly when it comes to facial animations. It looks like they hired all the animators from Mass Effect Andromeda. Faces look low resolution and lifeless on most humans, although the alien characters seemed to look much better. The only reason the Empire soldiers look good is because they're wearing helmets. Also, this is a light saber combat game that doesn't include full limb dismemberment, which is pretty weak. Textures in general seem to be hit an miss, but many of them look like they are from the ps3 era.

    Story 2/10
    So for a single player game with so much source material to work from, the writing/dialog/story for this game is a steaming turd sandwich. You start off as a scrapper working with your buddy on crashed imperial ships from a recent conflict, oh but you're also a padawan, which you may or may not have been aware of, and your friend may or may not have been your jedi master, but it doesn't matter because he dies about 40 minutes into the game right as your starting to like him. Then theres a sith lord who couldn't tell you were a Jedi at first, despite their entire reason for being involved in the story is to find/hunt jedi's. So you run from this sith lord and while walking on top of some super futuristic monorail made out of metal grates, a ship flies up next to you, a bug eyed black lady opens the landing ramps, says she's your friend and she'll help, then that ship flies off. You reach the predictable end of the train level just in time to have that ship come and save you from certain doom. At this point bug eyed black lady basically reads you the cliff notes for the first several chapters of the games story. She's a rebel leader, and you know each other or at least she knows you, although its not explained why you would be working as a scrapper when you have contacts in the rebel alliance and you're actively being hunted. A talented writer would have written multiple nuanced interactions and dialogues that could have slowly brought you up to speed while letting you identify with, and become attached to these new characters. A talented writer was nowhere near this project. In about 5 minutes of exposition, Cera, the rebel lady basically just dumps out all the bullet points of who you are and why your here, and she does so in a way that's pretty painful. It looks like the same approach to the scripts for recent star wars movies was utilized for this game, which means dialogue is painfully simplistic and lacking any nuance or subtlety. It was written so that it translates easily to chinese and languages from other countries where Disney is trying to establish the franchise, and as a result, it has the quality of a script written by 5 year olds.

    The 'professional' reviews for this game are full of **** This game, at best, is a 6/10 in its current state, and thats being pretty generous    … 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.
