    I never wrote reviews before but Star Wars is one of my life's most loved story that i learned when i was a small child. Need to say that i love 4-6 chapters of the Lucas's saga shot in 77-82 of the 20th century more than 3 other screened in 2000's. I always wondered why nobody ever created vast open-world RPG based on Star Wars saga. It was a disappointment when i first launched SW Battlefront. Yeah, you can shoot and fly in some classical places of the theme but only multiplayer?! No story, no freedom, you can't feel yourself a part of the world. Just shooter... Battlefront 2 is the same. I was glad to hear that RPG action game is coming based on the story. And when i launched Fallen order - it was another disappointment. Yes, it has some pretty animation. Yes, it has a good fighting system. Yes it has good graphics. But everything else is awful. The story is simple and straight, and short. The world is small and non opened (although you may travel between maps after you discover them). You still can't travel between points inside each map (seriously? in 2019?! in rpg?!!). You have only one quest - main. No side quests. You can't shoot with a blaster (why?), you can't pick anything up, you can't fly or ride any transport. I think EA and Respawn really could do much better. There are a lot of examples like Witcher, Horizon zero dawn, ES5 Skyrim, Legend of Zelda and so on. Just use imagination. But not this time though. The game that ends in 20 hours of straight and far too predictable story telling/playing don't attract at all. I was really excited first 20-30 minutes. But then the play became dull and made me frustrated.

    I will give 10 for animations - they are good.
    10 for 3d models and fighting - i liked it.
    7 for moving - its nice but sometimes you need to do obvious move like jump and catch the rope many times because "the jedi" can't catch it (??)... or you just fall down and die because the player don't see edges of the ground or whatever you stand on.
    2 for the story - its simple, straight and short. No side quests.
    2 for the world - 4 planets with different nature and sometimes nice exterior, but small, no fast travel and not open-world.
    2 for limits - you can't use any transport in the game, no npc's to contact, no market, no loot, no armour, you can't change anything or use anything but the lightsaber and player's original clothing.
    Music is classical and i won't score it.

    One-time 'Tomb raider' kind of play just for checking the box. Regret the money paid.    … Expand

    Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is overrated and was overhyped !

    - The story is totally linear without any choices
    - The combat is repetitive
    - Lightsaber fights are bad without any combat-mechanics
    - Lightsabers are like rubber baseball bats
    - Lightsabers can't cut off body parts

    5/10 points from me and even the story alone can't save all these negative basic cores of the game.

    The game may have some negative aspects but the positives are absolutely overweighing them, especially considering the state of other recent EA games. The game may simply not be for everyone which is totally normal.
    What I really liked was the map design and I have seen some people complaining about it for not being intuitive. That's true, it can get very confusing especially in the beginning but you should get the hang of it with time and you really need to learn the maps to find your way around without much hassle but for me that's the point of a game. You need to learn the game and become better. I had so much fun going back to planets I already visited to discover new stuff/locations that were previously not accessible or that I didn't know of. Also the way all the different zones finally link together is very well designed.
    I love the story and most of the characters. Some things could still be better in that area but overall it's very solid and it makes me look forward to potentially more Single-player Star Wars games. It is a neat addition that they add so much Star Wars lore into the game that true fans can recognize.
    I have no experience in other third person combat games so I can't compare but personally I liked the mechanics. They can get a bit tricky at times but it's really been a nice experience personally. There's a steep learning curve to become really good at the game but that's exactly what I like and what many games nowadays are missing.
    The World's look stunning but the graphics and the framerate on my standard PS4 can really get bad at times.
    The lightsaber customization is very well done but there's still room for more. What i was missing was slightly more character customization.
    Maybe some more force powers could have been implemented as other people were criticizing.
    The way the game saves is probably the worst part of the game but you get the hang of it and for most parts complete the story trouble-free.
    I give the game a solid 7, low 8 but I raised it to 9 due to many people ranting on it.
    For it to be a 10 more things should be improved which we'll hopefully see in a new game in the not so distant future.    … Expand

The battles are completely inconsistent, even when the same inputs are put in by the player. The framerate on base ps4 is laughable at times, the entire game stopping to to load some sequences. There are just so many times more issues than a normal soulslike that it is impossible to list everything. The pacing of the bonfires is all over the place, the checkpoints completely random at times before bosses, a big no no in a soulslike. Give me checkpoints or dont! Dont tease me! This is such wasted potential. So many little things that should have been ironed out. The main thing is, this game is just not fun, and it should be. The whole time I'm just wondering how the game's inconsistency will kill me and piss me off.… Expand

    Second: The graphics were a little glitchy here and there, resulting in blurred landscapes or a character's clothes shaking or waving around during the cutscenes. It wasn't SUPER pervasive throughout the game; just happened a little too often to forget.

    Apart from that? Honestly, it's a great game: Tough without being insurmountable (and you can adjust the difficulty to your liking), smooth controls, and diverse, beautiful landscapes. There's a nice, small, intimate cast of characters too- all original, save for one that appears at the end.

    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.
