    Сюжет на втянул, красивая графика, персонажи так же не вызывают интереса. Боевка слизана с Sekiro, поэтому она весьма не плохая На один раз игра пойдет.

    The story is interesting. Graphics are very beautiful but gameplay is boring. I was hoping more of this games.

    Tedious platform game. Horrible save point system. Enemies regenerate after every save. You have to explore to find things, but most of what you find is just cosmetic and doesn't improve your weapon. To add to this frustration, some areas are impossible to go back to. $14 is the maximum I would pay for this. Games should be fun, not frustrating

    Awesome game ! Loved the story. The game does a great job of maintaining a lot of the Star Wars mysticism that first made me fall in love with the saga. Gameplay is awesome ! The double bladed lightsabers are so much fun ! And the NPC’s are great ! Really hope EA does a sequel.

    Pros:

    The combat is awesome. Especially against bosses. I know I've seen a few people harping about the combat, but I had a blast swinging my lightsaber around. On the hardest difficulty, some of the bosses took me 1-2 hours to defeat, but each and every battle was earned and was damn fun too.

    The story is well crafted and fits right into the SW universe.

    The graphics are among some of the best over the past couple years.

    Cons:

    3D Map layout is frustrating when trying to go back and complete side missions/unlock all ares Not a fan.

    Lightsaber/ponchos don't come with upgrades

    Also not a huge fan of the enemies respawning at every meditation. It makes for tedious, repetitive gameplay.

    All in all, the few sour points don't spoil this game in the least bit. You will have a lot of fun playing this game, but I'd bet you will want to smash your controller at a few points. If you're a SW fan however, this game is a must have.

    I didn't finish the game because of infuriating gameplay. Spent most of the time dying, falling off ledges and also missing the ropes. And combat is kluncky. The game looks great and has cool story but I do not have the patience for it.

    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.

    great atmosphere and characters. Decent graphics and visuals. Very enjoyable story.

On top of all of this, there is an absolute plethora of bugs, glitches and so on which really take away from the experience. There are constant pop ins, sometimes you walk into a corridor that is not even there because the game hasn’t loaded it yet. Loading times are hilarious given that the game’s environments are quite small and uninspiring. I played the game with patches, I can’t imagine how bad it was on launch. One must think whether this thing went through quality control. One last thing I wanted to mention is that the whole souls-like mechanic doesn’t work for this game, I would find it more engaging and enjoyable if it was a linear experience. Overall, it is 4/10, it is not the quality I would expect from a AAA video game experience. A disappointment to say the least.… Expand

    This thing was put together by Jawas. It's clunky and janky, and possibly overpriced; but damn, it just works! I was engaged and challenged, and had fun with a ragtag group of misfits. Possibly the beginning of something great.

    I love Star Wars games when you can actually play as a Jedi. This game did a pretty good job on that. I just wish it was more like KOTOR that way you can create your own character. but with that being said. I still liked it a lot.

    The story in this game is better than basically every Star wars movie or series. Including the originals. In my opinion. Just incredible. The game is still very buggy in 2023. Not sure why some of these bugs haven't been patched. That's the only reason I couldn't give it a 10. Amazing title. I really hope they don't mess this up with the sequel by inserting new age weirdo ideas.

    The story mode is awesome, full of references and a good and pleasable experience.
    The problem is the map, terrible designed and a sufferable navigation, forcing the player to spend hours trying to find a way to reach at some point.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yes, I've been starved for a good Star Wars game - I think we've all been starved for a good star wars game- and EA has done very little to deliver here (surprise, surprise).

    So I was very much looking forward to this game when it was released. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my hopes and expectations.

    There's no risks taken with this game. No big plot twists or new avenues. What is considered cannon by Disney is really limiting the creativity and endless possibilities that the Star Wars universe offers.

    Some of my favorite star wars games were KOTR 1 & 2 and Star Wars Battlefront 1&2 (the originals). Lucas Arts had some duds as well, but they also released some amazing star wars games.

    EA has let the Star Wars exclusive license down. I hope Disney picks somebody else to run with it, but I doubt it - just like the NFL continues to blindly trust EA even though Madden has been lacking innovation for years.

    The graphics and sounds are generally very good, but the game lacks a true open world feel that it tries so hard to convey. Levels are very linear, character customization while it appears to be vast, end up not being so, as you are limited to ponchos and camos and the skill tree isn't all that exciting.

    It's very east to get lost - the holographic map, while a good idea, was not executed well. It's very hard to use and you frequently spend a lot of time trying to find where you want to go. Also, please put in a fast travel to ship as opposed to backtracking all the way back to the ship at the end of each main questline on each planet. So annoying to spend a half hour or more fighting the exact same respawning enemies as you go back to the ship.

    Also, speaking of re-spawning enemies, that's not my favorite game design. It kind of messes with the whole in-game immersion where if you kill people, they just re-appear when you come back. I know its a Dark Souls element, but it's not my thing.

    I'd much prefer to have the bodies and carnage stay around for the duration of the level. Would feel much more immersive. But it would also require a lot more lines of code and writing to develop counter attacks or other subplots where more enemies are sent in depending on your choices.

    Speaking of choices, this is another area where the game fell flat. I didn't feel like choices or exploration mattered. Oh yay, I found a brown and red poncho...

    Story was generic and didn't excite me. The combat wasn't bad, but I would have liked to see more realistic lightsaber effects with people, not just creatures. Speaking of creatures, please, less creatures. I don't want to fight off space rats, weird toads and other creatures as much as you had to in this game. That doesn't feel like star wars.

    Sadly, I got bored of this game and wasn't able to finish it (got about 50-60% of the way through) and just quit. Not enough to keep me coming back for more.    … Expand

    Also worth mentioning that I am not the biggest Star Wars fan you would find, but I enjoy the movies. With that being said, I would argue that this game has a better and more interesting story than majority of the movies. It even FEELS like a Star Wars movie so kudos to that.
    But now, let's get to the gameplay. Unfortunately, the game does not handle rendering and minor platforming glitches too well. For me though, it was nothing that seemed game breaking. They were minor annoyances, but the game would simply fix it within seconds. The combat is awesome especially on Grand Master mode, I have never played The Force Unleashed games, but this was the first Star Wars game that made me feel like I was a real Jedi. There is a pretty good size skill tree as well as new abilities to unlock at a healthy pace throughout your adventure. I am a big fan of the Dark Souls' inspiration, meditations are like bonfires, which are used to replenish health/force and respawn all enemies (besides bosses). Overall, you get plenty of boss fights, plenty of optional areas, and collectibles.

    I would have to agree with its current User Score at 2,533 ratings (7.7), I would score this game in the range of 7.6-7.8. For me personally, the cons are: needs better loading, fix minor glitches + animations, add some type of fast travel (maybe be able to fast travel only back to ship), and edit some level design to make navigating a little less of a chore especially for revisited planets. Those are my major complaints, but all in all it is a really good game, It has a decent story length being a semi-open world game so it will keep you entertained 15-25hr. I recommend it to any gamer, and it is a must buy for any Star Wars fan!    … Expand

    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.
