Some polish quirks here and there (My game crashed less than a handful of times), and a little on the short side (Skilled players can easily complete this in a day), but overall fantastic ground work for a future series of Star Wars games.… Expand

Independientemente de la dificultad que selecciones para el juego, los puzzles, los combos y el movimiento en general por el mapa es a mi opinión, terrible. Cualquier mínimo roce con el Joystick hará que tu personaje salga del juego, valla a la luna y vuelva. UNA PASADA y no se soluciona reduciendo la sensibilidad. Otro punto que no es del todo negativo, pero tampoco positivo, es la duración. Considero que podría ser más largo (sin alargar artificialmente), si no más historia y seguiría estando bien, pero bueno en definitiva, es un juego recomendado si no tienes otro juego en prioridad.… Expand

    I thought aside from the terribly dodgy character graphics and animation, there were a couple of great characters, most notably my new favourite droid BD-1 who I felt the most connection with out of all of the characters in the game.

I will say there was one character who was introduced fully later on in the game and I am so gutted she wasn’t used more. The villain, the Second Sister was incredible and had such an incredible back story, I loved everything about her, she was one of the characters I thought looked the best and was written the best out of them all.

    Herein lies the game’s biggest strength, and its biggest draw, the story. The narrative of the game was very interesting and engaging and is what saved this game from being a complete disaster in my eyes. Learning more about the time between the main films is so exciting for me and I love being introduced to a new crew, some new villains, but also some familiar faces, it is so rewarding.

    Although there is a lot of good things to be said about Jedi: Fallen Order, there is a lot that could have been improved on and I can’t help but think that if they had just left it for a few more months or even a year this could have been one of the best Star Wars games we have seen. However, even the stunning environments, fun lightsaber action and incredible narrative couldn’t mask the jarring character graphics, glitches and heavy-handed cinematic moments of gameplay.    … Expand

This is because I wanted to explore the worlds in detail. I wanted to marvel at the different planets, fight against the Empire and feel like a Jedi. Jedi: Fallen Order has accomplished this for me. Each planet is quite large and enjoyable to explore. On the hardest difficulty, fights are tense and rewarding. The story is well told and while it is overall predictable, I felt it was well-developed and interesting. Every planet I visited, I often stopped to marvel at beautiful vistas hoping I could explore the far off artwork. To my surprise and satisfaction, you almost always could. Each combat scenario is a challenge and even the basic enemies can kill you. Larger encounters force you to strategise and carefully employ your variety of abilities. Boss and mini-boss encounters are exciting and the right mix of mechanically varied and cinematic. The platforming and exploration in the game is satisfying as well. You get new abilities to assist your exploration. In turn, you are also rewarded for exploration with hidden goodies and experience. I have read criticisms that exploration does not reward you enough. If your expectations are tempered, I do not think this will be a problem. To that end, you are rewarded with experience through greater combat encounters. You are also rewarded with health, force and droid ability upgrades. While the majority of other exploration rewards are cosmetic items, I found exploration enjoyable. I explored for the sake of experiencing the well-designed levels, seeing more beautiful environments and hunting down challenging combat encounters. I did experience some low-level frustrations. I was playing on a PS4 Pro and evening with the updates, load times were long. These were about 30 seconds per death, and I died often on the hardest starting difficulty. Texture pop-in was widespread and enemies often would load in late. Frame rate also dipped when loading new areas. I stress these were all minor inconveniences that did not deeply impact my enjoyment of the game. This game is excellent and I am greatly anticipating the next instalment. If you like Star Wars, challenging combat and exploration, I am very comfortable recommending this game. Just know that loot is mostly cosmetic and there are some minor technical issues. For me, it was a 9.5/10 and my game of the year so far (though I have a lot to catch up on).… Expand

    Jump doesn't work, evade doesn't work, block doesn't work. Attack, meh... Hugely disappointing in a retro is the past, move forward kind of way. The collision detection is akin to 80's games. This is the same for the average look of the game too. Loading times also feel retro, appalling in fact. Story ok though, but that's only because I am a huge star wars fan. Great if cheap, but not worth £50

    Very boring platform game. Graphic is very nice. Gameplay - repetitive. Difficulty - casual. But the most annoying and rejecting element is platforming. My god - this is Super Mario Star Wars rather then jedi game. It's dissapointing.

    I've put over 8 hours into it, not finished yet, but I've explored more than 3 planets, and hit some awesome story beats. There are some minor bugs in the background environment, nothing that causes any issue with gameplay. And other than that, it is just amazing! It's beautiful, it's fun, and I can't wait to play more! And again on a more difficult setting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had high hopes but it just didn’t stick the landing. I get lots of people will love this game and that’s okay I’m not here to hate on you for loving the game, just to give my opinion on it. The Story. I feel the story of this game isn’t all that great. It’s not bad, but it’s not good either. It’s just decent. The problem I have is just the base idea “rebuilding the Jedi Order” this is probably the most generic Star Wars story that you can make. When I heard this game was going to be about a Jedi Padawan after Order 66 I was so excited. I thought we were just going to get a game with you playing as a young Jedi right after Order 66 on the run from the newly instated empire. Having to learn the ways of the force by yourself with nothing but your Masters training. Just that would have been great. We didn’t need a “Rebuilding the entire Jedi order, while on the run, and while being hunted by the empire. It’s just too much. I also don’t get the point in the whole Rebuilding the order if we already know it isn’t going to happen. This was just a bad choice in my opinion. Our Protagonist.
    The actor playing Cal seems to be doing his best with the script he’s been given but for me he still falls flat. The character is generic and bland. “Blah blah blah light side or dark side blah blah blah Jedi order blah blah blah I’ll be a good guy.” The best characters in this game are the side characters which isn’t a bad thing but Cal is just so absolutely boring for me. You can tell what decisions he’ll make nothing ever surprises me with what he does. It also doesn’t help the Cal just doesn’t look, sound, or act like a badass Jedi. He just looks goofy to me and I know some people agree. Lastly the Customization.
    The customization overall in this game is complete garbage. Yes the Lightsaber customization is really good. You really get to make it feel like your own, but that’s it. That’s all the customization. All that’s left is new poncho and outfit colors. Really? Colors? You couldn’t be bothered to make at least one more outfit? When I found out about this I was baffled. I couldn’t believe that they released a game with one single outfit. The best thing about the Force Unleashed games was the outfit customization! You could look like anyone you could look good or evil, Jedi robes, or a Sith monster. It was incredible. I get this game you are 100% a “good guy” which is okay, but we couldn’t get any Jedi robes? Or just a new jacket? It’s pitiful that this is what we got for all the customization. Guess what you get for completely the game on the hardest difficulty? You get nothing. No colors. No outfits, No lightsaber. Nothing. That is absolutely shameful. There is no point in beating the game on the hardest difficulty. All you get is a trophy...

    I do have one good thing to say. The gameplay is smooth and the graphics are pretty amazing. It can be a little janky at times but wielding your lightsaber just makes you feel powerful and untouchable which is how it’s supposed to feel. This game just disappointing. For me it misses all the marks. There’s a great game hiding in this one somewhere but it just feels like it’ll never see the light of day. I’m glad people actually like it I’m happy it isn’t a train wreck. Thanks for reading I appreciate it.    … Expand

It's fast, fluid, exciting, great combat, amazing visuals, gorgeous settings throughout different planets. Additionally, there is a pretty decent story to chase, filled with secrets and some cool lore (which, supposedly is canon).

    Everything works: the souls-like vibe, the jedi combat, the GIGANTIC maps filled with little secrets to explore and shortcuts to discover. The hero is likable, as well as the other characters - the little droid bd is a super cool companion (and an extremely helpful one). This is a SOLID game, no question about it.

    All that being said, there are some baffling issues that I cannot believe were not addressed, during the development. The main one, for me, is the lack of a fast travel option betweeen meditation spots. That makes returning to your ship a MAJOR CHORE, when you are barely making through maps that are complete vertical labyrinths. Additionally, there are some hiccups and stuttering and frame drops that don't hurt the experience but cannot be unnoticed.

    The game is awesome, there are breathtaking sequences that remind me of games like Uncharted and Tomb Raider - as well as God of War and Shadow of the Colossus. Finally EA did something good. FINALLY.    … Expand

The quicker you understand the map the less treading over the same ground is necessary. You need to fully explore every inch of this game to get the most out of it, and the upgrades.

Watched the films, there alright and I suppose the game might be a little more enjoyable if you are a star wars fan but either way I found the game to be brilliant. Great story line, looks and feels great and the character development works really well. One of the best of 2019.

    This a average/good game, it has exploration but it focuses on it a little too much as you explore more than you fight and you are supposed to being chased by the empire. 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 skillsThis a average/good game, it has exploration but it focuses on it a little too much as you explore more than you fight and you are supposed to being chased by the empire. 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.
    I really hope they can do much for the next installment (if there is ever one) because this game is well done and Respawn is an awesome game developer company    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I finished the game on Saturday and am close to having the Platinum now. It has been a while since I played a really enjoyable Star Wars game and with EAs Track Record, I was very apprehensive of getting this one. While there are some flaws in the game, it is overall super enjoyable. Now let's go into some positive parts of the game:

    - All fights feel good and while most aren't very hard, all story critical fights were decently hard
    - Fighting Trilla felt like the endboss fight, that it should feel like
    - Darth Vader showing up after the endboss fight and seeing how utterly weak you are compared to him, felt right
    - The story was good, but ended in the way I thought it would
    - Finding all the lore all around the world was nice
    - No microtransactions
    - Lots of Lightsaber cosmetics to make your lightsaber feel like yours

    Now for the negative points:

    - Default generic male protagonist - having a custom character creator would have been nice
    - Sliding is the most annoying part in the game. It controls weird
    - Bugs, especially when jumping to another platform and then glitching through the world and falling to your death is really annoying
    - Only Ponchos that look pretty weird, some more cosmetic customizables would have been nice

    All in all, this still is a really good, and while it is not perfect it is definitely a step in the right direction. If you enjoy Action RPGs and Star Wars, I believe you'll enjoy 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.
