    I get lost to much. No fast travel. Good combat. No sense of direction. Game doesn't tell you where to go. Can place down points to go to.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love the gameplay and the story I give it a 9.5 out of 10 the various environments are beautiful and the difficulty is just right as it gives you a challenge until you get the groove of things THE ONLY THING that drags it down is the ending. The running from Vader was epic but the ending scene when Cal destroyed the holocron made me feel like everything the game lead up to was for nothing I understand what they were going for but that's just me. It left room for a sequel so that's good and I really hope it happens because this game was excellent… Expand

    Positively surprised with this one. It has a great story that even people who never seen Star Wars (me) will enjoy it, the gameplay at first might be a lil dull but once you unlock some skills it gets way way better. I'd give it a 9/10 but the game (as many EA games) has lots of glitches n bugs sometimes very frustrating. Enemies disappearing for a while and coming back from nowhere.

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.

    This is a good game at it's core, but it's dragged down by an utterly arbitrary narrative, repetitive game-play, backtracking through explored areas to fill the time and the general sense of frustration that this COULD have been a great title.

    Visuals are ok, music is ok, customisation options are great.

    A very bad Star Wars Tomb Raider/Uncharted clone. The graphics are sputtery (at best) even on my 1080ti SLI machine. You spend a lot of time climbing, and it isn't any more fun than it was in the previously mentioned games. The controls are very clunky, both in and out of combat.

    It is no wonder they put an embargo on reviews before release.

    I have never experienced a Metroidvania so flawlessly created in 3D. This is not only one of the best Star Wars Games ever made but also one of the few 3D Metroidvania genres done right in 3D. A lot of design risks were taken in this and it is worthy of a 10/10 in my opinion. I have over 30 hours in the game on Grand Master difficulty and still have more to do.

    Just finished the game on Jedi Master. It's a very enjoyable game. A very linear single player experience with no micro transactions, felt like playing a PS2 title.

    The visuals are crisp although I was playing Death Stranding before and it made this game's visuals very ordinary. Light Saber doesn't feel powerful except slicing regular storm troopers apart. Love the spark effects though.    Just finished the game on Jedi Master. It's a very enjoyable game. A very linear single player experience with no micro transactions, felt like playing a PS2 title.

    Characters are very good although I felt there wasn't enough time to build relationships with them especially the Night sister. Overall campaign took about 20hrs.

    Couple things I hate about this game is the slow loading screens. When you make a game with a similar model to the Souls series where you're expected to die many times you'd make the loading screens a bit shorter. Hopefully they'll iron this one out soon because it's very frustrating.

    Others is the clunky controls especially with the sliding terrain. The other is the vine climbing and platforming. Cal feels like an old man jumping around desperately. Luckily when you fall to your death it respawns you quickly with a bit of your health gone.

    Overall, it's step in the right direction. Could of wished it had a bit more content maybe including some lightsaber forms. A solid 7.5 rounded to a 8.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is definitely one of the best Star Wars games ever made, and maybe the best.

    You got a lot of story in between episode 3 and 4 happening in this game - I mean a lot which also includes other Jedi's (Masters and Padwans) story from the day order 66 was executed. If you walk around to explore the planets there are a lot of echoes to be found.

    The combat system is very good and you have four difficult modes to choose between, and you can at any point, except from in battles, switch to one of the other difficulties.

    There are some surprises throughout the game - both story related and boss fight related, and not to say gameplay related.

    ONE SPOILER:

    You'll get a double bladed lightsaber during the game's story - you may also get it earlier.

    Junk control scheme. Games establishes mechanics and then can't follow them (e.g. unblockable attacks light up red, 10 minutes later a fight with tons of unblockable attacks that don't light up red). Platforming is contrived. Story is too short. I like this genre of game, and this is probably the worst AAA entry in the genre to date.

    Respawn did it again! Swooping in to put another big band aid on EA's reputation. While this title does not forgive any of EA's past transgressions as a Publisher, this is certainly a step in the right direction.

    This is the best Star Wars game in years and deserves a ton of praise! it is not without flaws, but it is absolutely the game SW fans have been waiting for. Let me start off    Respawn did it again! Swooping in to put another big band aid on EA's reputation. While this title does not forgive any of EA's past transgressions as a Publisher, this is certainly a step in the right direction.

    This is the best Star Wars game in years and deserves a ton of praise! it is not without flaws, but it is absolutely the game SW fans have been waiting for.

    Let me start off by saying, if you've been following the development of this game you know it is clearly derivative. The exploration is like Tomb Raider, the combat borrows from Souls/Sekiro, and the level design is definitely Metroidvania whereby areas are locked until you return with certain gear. But all of that being said, it is all put together well and with a Star Wars coat of paint over it that makes it extremely refreshing in a way.

    The Combat, while not as difficult as Souls/Sekiro, it still offers a good challenge. Obviously a big difference here is having force powers. These powers are cool and feel powerful. You absolutely cannot go into a battle just button mashing and if you do, you will find yourself on the reloading screen once again (Which take a long time to load, but not too bad if you have an SSD). The battles against other melee wielding foes in particular are so exciting and they feel epic.

    The Exploration is EXCELLENT and the 3D map that is borrowed from games like Doom 2016 are so helpful. The map even lets you know what areas you need powers to unlock and its so great for backtracking.

    The Story so far has been fantastic and you can see it in Cals face, the internal struggle he is going through as he tries to process his trauma of surviving Order 66. Some may call him bland, but my defense to that is.. well he was just a scared kid with a lightsaber on the run from the government. He hasn't had the time or freedom to develop much of a personality. He just wants to live. I personally find him and the rest of the cast great additions and the cinematography and writing has been great so far.

    The sound design in this game is also top notch and I have nothing else to report on here.
    The music is AMAZING and extremely fitting to the SW universe. Bravo

    The Customization to a small degree is also something to be praised. It is far deeper than what I had expected. There are 5 parts to a lightsaber that can be customized at any time on your ship (which serves as a hub). However the other customization is a bit lacking. You can only choose from external ponchos to throw on Cal. While this is nice I wouldve preferred some more options. There are also 1 off design choises for BD-1 and your ship.

    I could go on and on about how well the game is made but it is not without its flaws. As I mentioned before, the loading screens can be quite lengthy and on the harder difficulties, you are going to die.. a lot. it can be a tad annoying but not game breaking by any means.

    There is also quite a bit of backtracking. That just comes with the metroidvania type of level design. While it personally does not bother me, I can see how it may bother other people.

    DISMEMBERMENT: I understand this is a sore topic for some. This is a 2 part answer. Yes, dismemberment is in the game. non-humans are dismembered regularly and it looks and feels great. Humanoid enemies on the other hand just get scorch marks. Similar to the movies, HUMAN DISMEMBERMENT is in the game, however it is reserved for bigger story driven moments. Probably to make it more dramatic and meaningful.

    I personally do not care if stormtroopers can be dismembered regularly, but I understand how it may upset others. I am just happy to have a polished SW game as a Jedi.

    Technically speaking, I have had zero issues. The game is running very well in the performance mode on a PS4 Pro. There are notable dips and some hitches but its not terribly distracting
    I also have a PC and may double dip on this title as I am enjoying it so much and want to see how it looks/runs on a PC. I've heard good things.

    All in all, this game is a dream for any Star Wars fan. it is not perfect, but it is excellent. EA has beating Star Wars fans down long enough. Respawn has come to save the day and everyone who has been thinking about getting this game needs to go out and buy it! We need to reward Respawn for a job well done and also tell EA that these are the types of games we want out from the SW franchise.    … Expand

    7 months on and the game is still not fixed. Lag, framerate and pop ins issues on PS4 pro. This would be a decent Star Wars game if it didn’t have all these issues which is annoying and frustrating. Whole game is worth $30 at best. I don’t know how this game got so much praise. Opened account just because of this games issues. Fix it!

    Incredible! A single-player experience that focuses on tight combat and immersive story-driven narrative. It's been a long time coming but this is the ONE to finally prove that EA are perhaps worthy of the license. More like this please EA, Less BS "Live-services".
    Running on a RTX 2070 i7-9700k 4K HDR - perfectly fluid and a dream to play.
    Highly recommended.

    So I was not really awaiting the Fallen Order in first place, since the last Star Wars games not really matched any criteria I would have to a title out of this universe.

    I started playing the game on release with the Origin Access Premier pass and ended up very frustrated after the first 3 hours. This game lacks so much, that is not seen by the testers, or the audiences as well,    So I was not really awaiting the Fallen Order in first place, since the last Star Wars games not really matched any criteria I would have to a title out of this universe.

    I started playing the game on release with the Origin Access Premier pass and ended up very frustrated after the first 3 hours.

    This game lacks so much, that is not seen by the testers, or the audiences as well, that I needed to write my own review to this.

    The game starts very promising with your character being on a space station doing engineering.
    So far so okay. I mean many Jedi seem to be engineers in that universe if they are not recuing the universe ... so no hard feelings here.
    The level looks very good. Many particle effects, believable as well.
    The when you first control "Cal" the first thing I noticed is, that this game has literally no weight on the figure. He floats compared to all recent games I played. So there is no real physics on him.

    After the very promising first level you get to a planet named "Bogano" that is pretty much unknown and if you arrive there you know why. This level compared with the previous one is stuck in Alpha stadium of the game design. I have never seen such a big quality gap between two levels as in this phase of the game. And to tell it ... the quality never gets close again to the first level, at least as far as I have seen the next 3 planets.

    That almost made me quit. But then I read the reviews and all were cheering to this title so I thought .... well there mus be something past this level.
    It wasnt.

    The gameplay is Soulslike, which is technically a nice idea, but completely not fitting to Star Wars.
    You are literally the worstr Jedi ever seen, as even some rats are a threat to you in this game.
    Combined with the Soulslike respawn of all enemies after resting, this is just rediculous. The game also NEVER explains why its like that and thats why it is even worse.
    The fighting itself is the best part of the game, and what kept me playing at least a while, but also the upgrade system, which limits you in first instances, as you can get more upgrate points that the story ... or level progress will let you spend is also pretty boring.

    On top they added Metroidvania style levels, that force you to come back to planets just to see all of them ... also not very Star Wars in my oppinion. Which bothers people to play that ugly planets again and again.

    The story is promising with typical Star Wars twists .. no spoilers here, but I did not want to know how it ends to be honest.

    So people that tell something like "it respects the Star Wars lore" etc. read the above part of this review and tell me how that even closely is bound to Star Wars. Its a Star Wars themed mediocre Dark Souls / Tomb Raider /Metroidvania Clone which is not excellent in any of their disciplines.

    Sorry guys, but if you rate this higher than a 7, then you did never play any actual title or good Star Wars game.    … Expand

    There is no mutliplayer. So once you beat the story, this game will go back to the shelf collecting dust. Charging $60 for a game with no replay value is a cashgrab. It's amazing how developers could just use buzzwords like "no microtransactions" and the consumers will just blindly praise the game. Microtransactions don't belong in singleplayer only games. I will not praise something that is expected in games. Praising SP only games with no microtransactions is like praising GTA games for having drivable vehicles. Uncharted 4 has microtransactions and multiplayer and it is superior to this trash game. I only recommend you pick this game up if it's $5 or less, or just wait until its on EA Access.    … Expand

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

    Some interesting side characters. Some cool boss fights.

    So-So: Serviceable story, but taken down a notch by an mostly uninteresting protaganist. Gameplay loop of fighting enemies, traversal, and exploration gets annoying half way through the game. It takes inspiration from uncharted and dark souls. But this game doen't have the personality to match uncharted. It's also not as challenging and rewarding as boss fights in the souls series. It's a valiant effort, but this game doesn't add anything to the games it takes inspiration from.

    Cons: To me exploration was tedious, 90% of exploration leads to some decent lore, but it also leads to god awful customization options. Only 10% lead to gameplay improvements like increased hp and force. I wished I didnt explored as much as I did.
    The map design was also awful. You don't know what leads to where. Good luck running from the end of the map back to your ship.

    To end, good combat and ok story. I'm not a star wars fan but if I was I'll probably be enoying this game more. Gameplay loop that can get annoying with uninteresting exploration and bad map design. The graphics are imo subpar, and there are long loading times, and some technical hiccups.

I would never recommend to buy this game for this reason alone.

    On the down side is you may find the cycle of the same 12 things to do a little harder next time tedious. Fortunately the story and how combat evolves make it worthwhile. Towards the end a few TRULY EPIC confrontations, one with a giant bat-mouse.
    Looking at the pro critics who disliked this, my bet is they did not finish the game, only played the first few hours on story mode. Play on a harder setting; make it easier towards the end; that's how it's designed.

The problem I have is, why would they pick such a niche of a genre like Dark Souls to make a SW clone? I have no problem with the TYPE of 3rd person combat gameplay. I loved the new God of War, Spider-man and slews of others which is similar combat style. But what makes Dark Souls and SWJ:FA so different are there are no notifications of incoming attacks and it you have to be very good at reading the animations of enemies to predict attacks. I tested this with just stomtroopers firing at me from a distance. Seems like you would have plenty of time to hit that block to reflect the blast bolt back at the enemy.. but if you hit the block AFTER the blaster is fired there's a chance you will get hit. So you have to hit block even before the troop fires because your Jedi even has a wind up animation just to flick his wrist and deflect a blaster bolt. Yeah, stormtroopers have a rhythm and pattern to their fire, but it seems to me that combat is needlessly tedious and difficult. And that seems weird for an IP that so universally loved like Star Wars (esp in the gaming market) that they chose this type of difficult combat.
    Was this because the levels are smaller than most games and they are trying to stretch out the game play? Maybe yes, mayhaps no. Though some levels aren't necessarily big they are stretched out, from what would be pretty linear, to be enter-twined pretzel-like levels that get very disorienting. That because they opted for no fast-travel, so they had to tie these long pretzel levels together somehow with shortcuts like "Express" elevators or sealed doors. And then they need to respawn baddies after death to make that progress even more cumbersome. All of that would be forgiven if the combat itself wasn't so drawn out and difficult.
    The combat skill tree is fun, however. And the increase in skills make you feel like you are gaining in power and abilities without bordering on the ridiculous like The Force Unleashed did. I could see this Jedi kid fighting and learning on his own during the Dark Times, but even possibly not surviving in the long run. And that's good game design and even good writing because the Savior of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker, is supposed to be the one (but not the Chosen One) coming along in a few years to be the New Hope the galaxy needs. So I like that they kept this characters power in check. And the amazing ending boss battle proves solidifies that point.
    I also love, love, love the amount of lore added to the Star Wars universe, because that's what every book, comic, video game, movie and show should do: build on the universe, honoring and complementing what came before... without destroying it. (I'm looking at you Sequel Trilogy)
    The holocron codices in the game are just a joy to read and delve further into that galaxy far far away.
    Other extras are pretty useless however. There are hidden secret littering the map but none of them did anything more me. They came in the form of reskins for your ship, droid, lightsaber and outfit with zero bonuses. In fact I couldn't even really call them re-skins, because don't reskins actually remesh the 3D model of the character? These were all new paint jobs with no changes to the 3D wire meshes except for the lightsaber which is hardly noticed when being swung around anyways. So I found that kind of lazy near the end. Especially when I was desperately looking for different lightsaber blade colors or styles and we just handed to me at one point in the story.
    Though I'm glad EA is finally making something other than mobile games and multiplayer shooters, I'd appreciate if the next single player experience is toned down in difficulty for the masses... and me... because apparently I just ain't no good at this Dark Souls combat and that's why I never bought a Dark Souls game.    … Expand

    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.

    Respawn has shown us, and EA, that single player games are well enough alive and kicking and has set a bright future for the Star Wars franchise of videogames if they keep this up.
