    The issues with stutter on PS5 even on performance mode is embarrassing. The game is great, but the execution needs some work.

    Is the game good? Yes.
    Is the game READY? No.
    This is another sad instance of a great game being rushed out of the gates before it has been fully cooked. If EA was a restaurant and this game was a steak & they served this to you they'd be shut down by the health inspectors because its ****ing raw. It does not preform anywhere close to acceptable on any console or PC. They promised    Is the game good? Yes.

    It does not preform anywhere close to acceptable on any console or PC. They promised "BETTER QUALITY GAMES" for $70 - and this game is already proving that is not true. This game will most likely be fixed in a month or two, but the issue is it should run like butter DAY ONE. The games reputation is already tarnished & I hope it stays that way. Because the dev's and EA (whomever's fault it is, idk who) need to be held accountable for this.    … Expand

    Performance mode is awful and the 30 fps mode gives me too much of a headache to be able to play more than a hour. I wouldnt care so much but it so frustrating that a good game is ruined by a bad performance.

    Absolutely DREADFUL release on ps5 performance mode. Frame drops, screen tearing and crashes and bugs. How can EA and Respawn think it was a good idea to release it at this state? Very disappointing since I liked the first game.

    Very buggy, ranging from crashes, meny stops working, map markers overlap the fast travel and the balloons you have to place will not be placed; forcing you to reload in combination of a horrible autosave made this a less than enjoyable experience.

    Do not under any circumstances attempt the Path of Restoration puzzle on Jedha. The entire geometry of the map shifted after one of the balls got stuck, permanently locking me out of a trophy. While that sucks, the worst part is that since then the entire game has been unstable, popping up invisible walls out of nowhere and flickering throughout the entire geometry to the point I am unsure that my save will not just end up in an even more broken mess. I refuse to start this game over at this point, so it has been a waste of money, and I'd suggest for other people to wait a good while to buy this so that bugs can further be fixed.    … Expand

    Don't gonna talk abotu the Fps/Grafics issues because thats been disscussed enough.

    BUT: i dont get why they needed to trash the Combat mode to a point where i switched to "story mode" because the annoyance was just too much to enjoy.

    BUT: i dont get why they needed to trash the Combat mode to a point where i switched to "story mode" because the annoyance was just too much to enjoy. WHICH is the GOOD point about the combat system that you can play it hardcore souls like style but you can also play it Bayonetta-button-smashing-style and still can enjoy it, HOWEVER , if you cant stop animations to block or Dodge, then blocking and dodge is useless if your Toon has to finish the animation while the enemy can change its stance twice. So thats been a complete miss compared from the last title. No idea whay they needed to change that.. In the old game , parrying felt good.. it "clicked" when you did it correctly .. But now? i dont even know if it generally works somehow? outside of the tutorial i have never had the feeling that a parry does anything.

    Also the story telling is "questionable" especially the environmental crap.. when you first do a rescue mission for a guy you were supposed to climba pilgrims path when you encoutner situations you cant solve with your current arsenal of tricks,, but then you simply remember another trick and hee you go, you can now airdash .. just like this. you have "unlocked" a new ability by just remembering it. and now the entire parcopurs heavily depends on exactky THAT. annoying as frigg. Same on a certain Hulker in a certain swamp..can't move stuff with your force? remeber a scene where Ceres used it and BAM now you can SLAM things with your Force instead of pushing or pulling them. same with the "dash through forcefields" anility of Merrin.. nope now you can , too since she gave you a talisman and a kiss. Yeah..no.

    MOST UTTERLY ANNOYING: the game has no mini map (okay thats bearable) but you can also only set beacons in the map and they do not who up in the real world (i thoughts that what beacons were for ?) and the game also does an awfull bad job to tell you where to go. sometimes you simply have to jump "somewhere" to see if there is a gtrapple point popping up somewhere further out "somewhere", to be able to maybe reach it.
    so no.
    Plus the many many many nonsensical issues that pop up in the story where the timeline seems to be conflicting. or things that jst dont make any sense like empire stormtroops scattered across a VERY impossible to reach path to the sanctuary - HOW did they get here with no jedi powers?    … Expand

    Overhyped buggy disaster. Even on graphics mode the game is beyond blurry and looks like an early ps4 game. Not to mention the unresponsive controls and the uninspired combat. Save your money and wait for a sale. Most i’d recommend paying for this currently is $15.

    Really too bad how this game has screen tearing, jittering, and slowness, even after the latest updates. This is performance mode on a 1080p TV. Nothing too crazy. This game is just not optimized. Tired of paying these prices for unfinished games. Lesson learned.

    This game run very poorly--uneven/stuttery frame dropping, screen tearing, crashing, and more. The worst is the horrible bugs. For example there is an xp loss bug which is maddening. You waste hours with that one bug alone, not to mention the other, many glitches.

    Gra bardzo fajna pod względem merytorycznym i kreacji świata, postaci. Niestety błedy techniczne, brak stabilności i jakość prezentowanej grafiki są tak fatalne, że uniemożliwiają grę. Przez to co się dzieje odechciewa się grać. Miejmy tylko nadzięję, że zostanie to naprawione. Na tą chwilę żałuję, że kupiłem grę.

Game crashes gala. I can't change stances anymore after fighting a big fat enemy in Jedha, as of my last gameplay. Story cliché and predictable. Mandatory Darth Vader fan service. Combat controls really stiff and no input cancelling. Fighting against hordes of enemies too frustrating because of the constant stun locks and hit staggers from multiple enemies simultaneously. Typical trappings of Ubisoft style open world collectathon, map defogging and icon clearing.

    I really miss the days when games used to actually be fun. This game is nothing but frustration. Especially the traversal puzzles in the Force Tears. The devs themselves came out and confirmed that the stupid red scavenger droids that burrow and get away every single time were made on purpose to be frustrating and trolling you. Here is one big middle finger to that!

    Not surprised one bit, given it came right out of EA's cesspit. That'll be 70 bucks please.    … Expand

    Even after the first patch since it's release the performance is upsetting. This game does not deserve anywhere near a score of 10. These developers need to get it together and ship out games that are finished. If they expect us to pay full price for a game the game better be fully finished.

    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a much bigger game than before, with plenty of new moves, collectibles and characters to discover. The size of its open-world maps means it also lacks some of the variety of its predecessor, but there is so much to see and do that you'll likely not care one jot. Perhaps the most impressive aspect is how well fleshed-out the adventure is - better even than many of the TV series and films on which it is based. This is a blockbuster in the truest sense.
