    I liked what I played of this game- except one major thing. When you lose all your health you go clear back to the beginning of a large level. Did this twice on me- last time when I was just about through the level. I threw my controller and deleted the game. The gameplay itself is pretty good- action/adventure- kind of like Uncharted. I just hated the dying mechanic. Wouldn't really recommend.

    The best Star Wars game I've ever played, and one of the best titles I've played recently. I live to play games like this one. Kudos to the great team responsible for this, I'm already hoping for a sequel!

    Summary: It a great Star Wars game with the music, atmosphere and story that captures the adventure 80s fantasy feeling of the original trilogy. The metroidvania linear adventure with action packed scenes and souls like combat is a great combination for this title. But the execution is just ok and technical aspects are a downside.

The metroidvania linear adventure with action packed scenes and souls like combat is a great combination for this title. But the execution is just ok and technical aspects are a downside.

    The game captures the magical feeling of 80s fantasy and the adventure. It is much closer to the original movies than any of the films from the sequel trilogy. The plot combines the adventure of the journey through the unknowns of the far far away galaxy and the tale about restoring the secret once great order of the Jedi. The story has everything that stereotypical 80s fantasy should have: an obvious villain, an obvious hero and his party and the mystical ancient goal. It has jungles, deserts and ancient tombs. And it has magical weapons – lighsabers. The music is inspired by the wonderful work of John Williams. It captures the adventure/fairytale feeling of the setting. As a fantasy fan I couldn't ask for more.

    I love the mix of gameplay that this game presents. Exploration is linear metroidvania style experience with lots of abilities that unlocks a new paths and collectibles. The souls-like combat fits really well. The action packed sequences and platforming sections keeps you engaged if you are not here only to slice things for the lightsaber.

    The problem is, that the execution of all this elements is just ok. The combat is difficult and satisfying but sometimes it gets frustrating. When I saw I'm too weak for the boss fight I wanted to go back and gather something that will help me and game just locks you with the enemy and leaves you no choice but to try until you rage quit or lower the difficulty. Platforming can be bugged and you will have to repeat each section a couple of times because you have fallen to your death during a slide.

    The level design is a plus. The verticality of the levels combined with agility of the character gives more depth to combat and maps. What I consider a downside are the larger planets without any shortcuts or fast travel. This can be painful at the end of the game when you are trying to gather all the collectibles, and you just have to traverse the whole planet multiple times because the an unreachable cliff or a slide blocks your way back. And speaking of collectibles, they are worthless. Unless your are planning to earn a platinum trophy, don't bother with them.

    As to the technical aspects: I have never seen a game on PS4 that is a year after the release and still has so many bugs, glitches and frame drops.    … Expand

    The level design can be flawed. When (optionally) revisiting planets, it can be difficult to find your way back to specific areas. A number of paths are one-way only, which the in-game map doesn't tell you, and some areas have a distinct lack of shortcuts, making them feel labyrinthine.    … Expand

    Lara croft meets dark souls combat (if you crank the difficulty up) meets star wars theme. I enjoyed this game quite a bit but they were absolute taking the piss with how short it is. Even if you're an absolute completionist, you'll struggle to squeeze more than 20 hours of content out of it. At a £60 price tag, it needed to be be 50-100% longer.

The gameplay is very weak. First how it was made, like, maybe it's me, but I was expecting an open world, something at least in the range of AC (where you can explore and visit, interact with people, have side missions...), and I ended up having a basic platform game (jump, grab, open a door...). And then I was disappointed in how much it was lacking content, it was really NOT starwars-y at all! All the planets felt like a basic platform game set in the middle of nowhere where you sometimes bump into random creatures that could be straight out of Crash Bandicoot or SuperMario or any other old game... where is the SW lore, the characters, the atmosphere? Dathomir is basically set in hell, Kashyyk is a random jungle, Illum a random ice world... I don't see any Star Wars, except when the characters refer to something every now and then. It's a real shame.… Expand

    First things first, this game has a wonderful storytelling and voice acting and breathtaking views, in other words - everything a great game needs to have. For Dark Souls fans this game might even work better by paying tribute to the wonderful genre we all love.

For Dark Souls fans this game might even work better by paying tribute to the wonderful genre we all love.

    I was certain this would end up one of my top favorites and was even excited with the sequel being released in a month or so, but sadly... things didn't work out, and that's due to absolutely idiotic controls that are unable to handle the overly challenging terrain. Bosses-wise the game is not hard, it's very entertaining on the contrary, but it's overly arduous when it comes to wall running, double-jumping, rope climbing with the ambiguous controls the game offers. Mostly the problem is you don't have a clear control over jumping/double-jumping, whereas you have to overcome climbing challenges that consist of cascades of the aforementioned techniques, and, sadly, most of the time you masterfully perform some perfect set of moves just to go to waste with the final jump that you fail, not because you're a bad gamer, but because you're not fully confident how the Goddamned jump works here. Whoever were responsible for this part should be immediately fired as they completely ruined my experience with Jedi: Fallen order.

    Before buying this game, do keep in mind, that for people who have acrophobia (fear of heights) this game will seem like the Sekiro of climbing games and a true nightmare. Sekiro I platinumed, but I refused to play by the idiotic control rules set by this game's developers.

    Again - very good story and level design completely undermined by the horrid controls.

    Could only give 8/10 though, the story wasn't as long as I expected, only around 20ish hours of playtime. Also, a couple of the trophies are bugged, so I would have to restart the whole campaign to just get the trophies.

    The game misses the Indicator Bar, so you don't know where to go, every games has it, but this game misses it, you need to go into the menu, and then check the point where you have to go, but in different levels, with the indicator map would be an enjoyable game, otherwise I didn't finish it.

    I give the game a golden medal for some of the best lightsaber duels ever put in games, Souls-like combat fits here perfectly, and creates a wonderful sense of progression from a weak, pushover padawan into a full-blown Jedi knight who is a force to be reckoned with. The atmosphere of Star Wars with it's sounds and visuals is unmatched. I love this universe. Great game!

The combat feels really great but only if you play it on Jedi Knight or above, otherwise it is too easy. The Jedi abilities are too simple and you don't even use some because you can win everything only with combat skills and basic force power. But when you have all the skills and you use them, it makes you feel like you are an awesome Jedi.
    The planets you visit are very simple and empty, there are structures for exploration like in tomb raider and enemies just enough to unlock skills.
    The story is the weak in my opinion, there is only a one moment of excitement and is at the end and also that moment is a wasted opportunity to have an amazing combat. And the ending is extremely lame. There is not a single dramatic moment that can make you feel worried for the characters.
    There is one part where x character says it will help you in your journey but does nothing and there are parts where you would expect the main character to say anything or have a reaction and is dead silence.
    There are only like 2 or 3 "boss" battles and is a wasted opportunity because their names imply that there are many of them.
    The characters that help you on your journey don't do a single thing apart from tellling you where you should go and take you there.
    And the game presents many frame drops even during exploration parts where there is no fight, which is weird becasue during combat I didn't notices frame drop.
    Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the game, specially the combat mechanics, it's a good/average game. It does well what it does but thats all, it doesn't take risks, it uses the Tomb raider formula with a simplified Sekiro's combat. So don't expect a Star Wars game with explotions, high emotions and overwelming excitemen. This was to me a try it once and move to another game, so my suggestion is to wait for a price drop before you buy it.

The combat is not without its problems though, as sometimes your hit do not register and your perfectly timed parries are not punishable against the opponent. An advice I would give here would be to swap the jump and dodge button, as you would be using the latter much more frequently in combat. The checkpoints are also exceptionally poorly placed, causing a ton of repetitive and meaningless game play if you die. Though this gets much better in the late game, perhaps from the experience gained from combat. Once you get the hang of it, the combat becomes significantly more fun after ~2 hours of play.

Yes, its a single player game and yes, there are no micro-transactions, but the PS4 version is riddled with bugs, glitches, and clunky performance issues that detract from the experience significantly.

    Maps for each planet are confusing and poorly laid out - so much of this game consists of backtracking, trying to understand where exactly you're located on a bewildering holomap system, and running through repetitive areas over and over. The majority of your time spent with Fallen Order will involve climbing walls, swinging from ropes, and sliding down long stretches of terrain with little control.

    Rendering is dodgy and I fell through the map several times. Combat can be satisfying but is very demanding and requires precision, which is tough to do when the game's always dropping its framerate or bugging out. The characters themselves are decent enough and the story is fine, but Jedi Fallen Order seems to take the best elements from superior titles and mixes them together in an under cooked final product.

    I can't help but feel that much of the positivity around this game has come from the sheer surprise that EA didn't give us something totally exploitative or awful. This isn't a terrible game, but it's by no means great. I was really excited to play through this one but have come out feeling underwhelmed and a bit gutted. Hopefully Respawn will patch up many of the stability issues in the future - the game sorely needs it.    … 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.
