    I've been waiting for trash, and here it is. Probably one of the best games in 2019, and knowing EA, I'm waiting for DLC)))

    After a year the game still suffers frame drops and some bugs.
    Some mechanics are broken, jumping is redicilous. Combat is very bad and doesnt satistify players. The game is kinda hard. Its world is overwhelming and confusing even with holomap.

    História ok, combate viciante. Falta identidade no jogo, parece uncharted no mundo de star wars.

    기존에 나왔던 다크소울이나 세키로의 전투를 스타워즈에 접목. 전체적으로 흠잡을 곳 없는 게임이지만 캐넌이라 그런지 무난하게만 흘러가는 스토리가 살짝 아쉽다. 이해는 가지만 역시 불편하기는한 빠른 이동의 부재도..

    A really fun game, combat is challenging, the bosses can be really hard and I was playing on normal difficulty (Jedi Master), the story is interesting and exploring the planet is really fun. Visually it not the impressive, in cutscene some of the character pop up out of nowhere and the environment didn't render properly. Is a really good game, I recommended

    Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a true Star Wars game, it masterfully puts your hand in controls of a Jedi, but not giving to much control to become a god.

This balances the skill and patience to master the game. It creates a rich story that keeps the player interested in the characters and the events surrounding them. The anticipation to see what major plot event comes next with its gritty and dark story is well done and can commend them for that.

    However, there are some issues I do have with the game. The bosses tend to feel like brick walls that attack you. When you attack while the said boss is not in its stance, they can easily slap you in the face with there lightsaber as if they weren't hit at all. I do struggle with the bosses but that might just me being complete and utter garbage at the game. I have at certain moments sad down to reevaluate my life choices for 30 minutes thinking why the final boss is so hard. It certainly has sent me into utter rage plentiful of times.

    The design encourages players to explore the world and find hidden secrets within small corners of the map. They do feel like a maze and overwhelm the player when looking for a way to the objective and can almost seem like a chore to return back to the mantis. collectibles throughout the map are quite common but sometimes new a little puzzle to solve. Same for missions, you will always run into a puzzle every now and then that takes you away from the combat for a few minutes to test your wits which adds a nice change to the pacing of the game.

    Most of all the combat using the lightsaber is phenomenal. You can't fight through every battle without having consequences for reckless tactics to kill the enemy. To be successful you must think of what to do and study each enemy's attacks and blocks to get the kill. This goes for the bosses as well.

    Anyone who is into an adventure game in space with fun characters and a deep story should pick this up. And if your not into these types of games then you should buy it anyway.

    P.S. I just realized the game was really hard because I set the difficulty to Jedi Master    … Expand

    Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is a fairly good game. Combat is fairly fast paced as one would expect from Respawn. It is fairly easy to get the hang of and gets easier as you unlock more abilities. The Story is good, contiguous and doesn't go against any canon lore. I give it 9/10.
    Reasons:
    Story, while very good, is fairly short and there were quite a few missed opportunities on the side of Respawn.
    On playtime, I explored and collected almost everything, and minus the time I spent bashing my head against bosses refusing to lower the difficulty my playtime is around 23 hours. If you B-Line straight for the ending without exploring, collecting etc youre possibly done in under 10 hours.

    That being said. I do not regret my purchase whatsoever, and hope there will be some sort of follow-up. While interactions with your "Teammates" are few and far between, they were solid and I got attached to the people in the game (desired effect). I hope the game will have a sequel, or at the very very least a book series on it. Given that Fallen Order takes place in 14BBY, 5 years after Order 66, there should still be a decent amount of wiggle room for followup stories.    … Expand

The game is at its best when you explore, when you uncover secrets, when you find little story-pieces here and there and try to connect the dots, when you think you are lost in this chaotic labyrinth only to discover a few moments later a miraculous shortcut which will lead to a place you were 30 minutes ago, when ultimately you lose yourself in this beautiful, sophisticated and interconnected world. I caught myself on countless occasions to diverge from my main objective without even realizing it. And when I finally did realize it, I was always hearing this voice in my head, "five more minutes and then I'll return to my mission".

    The game requires of you, first and foremost, to take your time. Relax, don't rush into things. Let the Force flow through you. Be patient.

    This, also, goes for the combat. If you try and muscle your way through this game, if you expect that you can eliminate a group of enemies -hell, even one enemy!- with mindless button mashing, if you think that you are this overpowered jedi who can crush anyone and anything (plot twist - YOU ARE NOT) without carefully plan first, you are about to enter a world of pain. Each encounter with enemies is like a puzzle on its own (especially in higher difficulties). You need to think before you act. Take. Your. Time.

    Regarding the story, I found it good enough, darker than your usual SW story, a fact which I really appreciated. It had some problems with the pacing and the ending is indeed a bit underwhelming, but to be honest it didn't bother me much.

    The one major complain I have with this game is its excessive platforming elements (sometimes it broke the immersion for me) combined with its clunky controls (this doesn't concern the combat, only the traversing). I think they should have toned that down a bit.

    Other than that, it had some technical issues which will be resolved in time I suppose. Moreover, there were a few areas which were under-cooked. In general, the game probably needed 3-4 extra months to be polished I think.

    All in all, I wouldn't regard Fallen Order as a masterpiece, I would however regard it as one of the better SW games out there, and certainly one of the best games of this year. It is not what I wanted (full scale, open world RPG), but in the end I am pleased with what I got. And I really hope we'll get more in the future.    … Expand

    Jedi Fallen Order a new star wars single-player game published by EA made by respawn entertainment. Why do i say this? Well for me it seems this game almost got 1-2 points more on the review scale only because its a single player game published by EA without lootboxes or microtransactions. Dont get me wrong i hate loot boxes and the mt **** but this game is imho not as good as all the critics say. Now i got this out of the way we get to the acutal review.

    A bit of plot summary for the first two hours of gameplay:
    Jedi Fallen Order is a game about a young Jedi that hides from the Imperial Forces that seem to control the entire Galaxy all is good and well until he uses his force and suddenly his whole live seems to fall apart and his ass is hunted by a trillion of storm troopers and more until suddenly some rebels come along to rescue him and he joins their forces. Thats to plot summary for the first 1-2 hours of gameplay and the hook to go on an adventure to collect more power and eventually fight the leaders of the Imperial forces. Which is in my opinion no really good story nore is it very
    exciting to go through the first hour with only jumping around and talking about nonsense with some side charakters that does nothing for the story and nothing to build an emmersive universe its just bland out boring (imo). Even in force unleashed i had a charakter that was evil from the beginning and changed throughout the story (it wasnt that good of a story either) but at least i had something different than the underdog jedi padawan **** for the 100th time.

    Gameplay:
    You have some different comination of attacks and some different force attacks like force push and slowing enemys overall nothing really exciting or new which is kinda dissapoiting imo because this game could have done so much more than just using the old meachnics and doing nothing creative or new. It goes a bit for the style of a souls like genre so you can parry and dodge roll enemy attacks. If you die you have to attack the enemy that killed you to absorb some of your xp back again which is overall a neat idea and the souls like gameplay feels kinda good i want to say if the enemys werent programmed to follow your every movement which makes the doding feel kinda pointless to me. Some more wasted opportunitys are in the lack of physics while you can push around some enemys and grenades you cant use your enviroment good enough to kill some enemys with force etc. Again in force unleashed it was so much better hell even vases only crumble one by one if you force push a bunch of them while in tfu you push everything in front of you and it breaks crumbles into pieces which was very satisfying to watch. Also this game goes for a kind of a Metroid Style which imo sucks very hard. So you have this wall in the game and you see its there for being broken but you just cant because you haven learned force push so you have to complete two more planets to backtrack through the whole planet again to find a different style for your clothing how pointless. i dont understand why this is in the game maybe so stretch the time you can play this game but it just doesnt work for me when you have play through 50% of the game twice.

    Bugs:
    This game is sadly sometimes kinda flawed as it could have used some more polishing. Sometimes when you fall of a cliff (when you fall you loose some hp and spawn back up the plattform again which is good so you dont insta die) you spawn right in the middle of the enemys you were fighting so you have no chance for recovery time this will result in an immediate death. Enemys that touch water will immediatley die. Enemys hit you in mid roll almost everytime. Physical bugs that had me flying through the air severeal meters.

    Overall:
    What can i say i really want to like this game but in so many places this game feels lackluster and unpolished maybe with a little more time and effort it could have been a good game but in this case its just a solid 50 imho. Its a single player game from EA with no loot boxes thats a nice start but its not enough to make this game a good game    … Expand

You are barely a jedi knight, and it shows. Your chatacter Cal Kestis doesn't feel overpowered in anyway, although the game makes it satisfying to expand your abilities to a point where you feel powerfull, yet not overpowered.
    With that said however, there are a few things that could have been better. Like the loot you'll find throughout the game in chests and what are known as "force echoes". You can craft and tinker with your own lightsaber, and these chests gives you various hilts, switches, and so on. Instead of purely cosmetic, I'd like them to have a more purpose to them. Like hilts that gives you faster swing speed, more initial damage, blocking costs less stamina or so on. Also I'd like to point out that the map feels uninspired and clunky. This is a nitpick from my part though. I finished the game on Jedi Master difficulty, and cleared the Platinum trophy on PS4. So when finding all secrets and chests, the map was of minimal use to me.
    The story is is decent, and better than any of the newer movies (in my opinion). All the characters I grew to love and care about. The only point that I took away was for the loot feeling "useless". But still fun to grind because of combat and puzzles. This is of course all just my opinion. I would strongly recommend this game to any Star Wars fans and casuals alike :).    … Expand

    This is the best star wars game ever made. The story is amazing and perfect length with great villain's and plot twists. Cal is a fun person to play and the combat is very good to. The only reason it's not a 10 is due to the post story game there just isn't much to do after the story. But it is perfect everywhere else

    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.
