    Foi um dos poucos jogos que me fizeram continuar mais pelo gameplay do que pela história. O gameplay é muito bom, esquiva, poderes jedi, habilitar novos poderes, bloqueio... você realmente se sente jogando com um jedi. Uma coisa que não gostei foi que quiseram colocar muitos elementos de plataforma e backtracking, fica confuso e ofusca a melhor parte do jogo que é as batalhas.

    Obs Spoiler: A ultima parte do jogo , onde você controla o Cal fugindo de Darth Vader é um dos momentos mais legais do jogo, deveria ter mais momentos assim.

One thing I didn't like was that they wanted to add a lot of platform and backtracking elements, it gets confusing and overshadows the best part of the game, which is the battles.

This is not it. While the story is slightly above average, and the voice acting and motion capture brings the characters to life, that is where the praise ends for Fallen Order. The traversal is clunky and infuriating, with Cal making crazy leaps and falls off into oblivion and respawning with a slightly lower health bar, akin to the Legend of Zelda but without the charm or tact. The save point system is ridiculous and outdated, suitable for MMORPG's that require grinding of monsters, not a single player story driven RPG. The lightsaber combat is nice and satisfying-if you are facing a single enemy, which is about 20% of the time. Boss fights are boring and unsatisfying, with dark souls-esque gimmicks and patterns, but the overall lack of refinement makes it feel unsatisfying and unrewarding. I felt myself plodding through, just trying to get to the next area to see if the game miraculously started being fun. News flash, it didn't. Do not buy this game. Get a month of EA Play, give it a go for a few days until the charm of lightsaber customization and cute robots wears off, then put it down and move on to something better.… Expand

    1. The collectibles are pointless and everywhere. I don't care about ponchos or ship color. None of that stuff mattered and felt like a waste of time.
    2. The game is too easy on regular difficulty to have the same "risk/reward" feeling of a souls game. I never once lost my progress and there is a checkpoint around EVERY corner making the shortcuts useless.
    3. The wall running/swinging and sliding are fun at first but overused and felt tedious at times. There was no challenge there it felt like filler after a while.
    4. A couple of the puzzles are obnoxiously unclear what to do. I ended up looking them up and thinking to myself "I NEVER would have known that is what I was supposed to do!"

    I want to give this game a higher rating to support single-player endeavours rather than the trite we got from Battlefront, however there are just too many glaring issues that I couldn't overlook once I'd seen them.

    The graphics allows you the typical performance mode vs resolution. The difference is noticeable, however even in performance mode I had serious framerate dips and chopping.    I want to give this game a higher rating to support single-player endeavours rather than the trite we got from Battlefront, however there are just too many glaring issues that I couldn't overlook once I'd seen them.

    The graphics allows you the typical performance mode vs resolution. The difference is noticeable, however even in performance mode I had serious framerate dips and chopping. This wasn't even during hectic scenes; it happened randomly. When it worked it worked amazingly and I loved seeing 60FPS lightsaber action but this was hindered far too often.

    The story of the game is fairly by the numbers, although I didn't progress far enough to experience it properly. I liked that it went down a more original route rather than imitating movies or rebooting old material. This had the foundation for an amazing game if not for the issues I'll outline below.

    The gameplay is where the game really falters. Fallen Order does not shy away from its inspirations, however this goes a step too far in that it basically copy and pastes mechanics and concepts from games like Dark Souls, Assassins Creed, Uncharted, and Ratchet and Clank. Unfortunately, it doesn't do a very good job of this. The holomap is a confusing mess. The meditation spots not being used for fast travel is a bewildering oversight. The parrying seems temperamental and chaotic. Traversal is fun at first but eventually becomes a chore and the puzzles are very irritating.

    I will give credit for including an option for difficulty levels that helps overcome mundane boss fights, something I think Soulborne games need.

    The problem I have with this game is that it comes across like a handful of developers had some budget left over from the Battlefront games but resources were very limited. If not for the Jedi and lightsaber elements, it would be a very simplistic and dated experience. It could have benefitted from being a smaller experience because there just isn't enough depth and variety to maintain interest for the entire game. Having said that, I am very interested in a sequel should improvements be made.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros
    + sound
    + lightsaber customization
    + Cool transitions between single and dualwielded lightsabers
    + BD-1

    Cons
    - Blocking system
    - Basic movement
    - Character and ship customization are just reskins with no details (looting chests is just useless)
    - Story is linear
    - Characters are flat and poorly written
    - Unecessary jumping and climbing sequences with buggy controls
    - Fauna is buggy with undodgable attacks (if you can you want to avoid it)
    - Load times on respawn are way too long (Played of PS5 and encountered more than 2 minutes loads)
    - Fighting more enemies at once is just infuriating (they always interrupt your combo)
    - Fights are very repetitive
    - Behind every second corner there is an enemy who attacks on sight
    - Unskippable cutscenes

    It is Uncharted and Sekiro ripoff, but all the things that make these games great are done very poorly. The climbing is buggy and the game forces you to walk/climb the same path several times over. I am not a fan of the bonfire/meditation mechanic.

    If this wasn't a Star Wars game it would have at most 60.

    This game is difficult and I don't mean challenging, I don't mind challenge, I finished Kingdome Come Deliverance on Hardcore with all negative perks. It is so infuriating trying to block some attacks and the attack still goes through. It ruins the pace of the game and you have to stick to the most basic combos which just gets boring. Once you get L1 Square combo there is no point in using anything else.

    It looked so promising but it's a disapointment.    … Expand

After 2 years you would think the movement and grabbing would be seamless and run together nicely, or the cutscene transitions would be flawless, but that is not the case. When you attempt to grab a ledge often times Cal will miss and you either fall to your death or have to climb back up to where you were, or when a cutscene happens there will be a little pause and the NPCs will seemingly teleport to a different place a foot away from where they were standing at the end of the cutscene. I’ve had several bugs where I had to close out the game and start it up again and others where Cal froze in place when I attempted to interact with something. Again, this is 2 years after release. The story isn’t bad and I don’t mind the platform of or fighting. Had it not been for these seemingly minor things that I mentioned before I’d probably give the game a 8/9, but the fact that these things are still an issue makes me remember why I was never truly excited to play this game.… 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.
