    Alright, I gave this game some time to see if patches would fix all the issues....sadly, they are unchanged. Hdr is absolutely broken, visible and I mean very visible not just slight vertices bars seperate the color gradients. Stuttering is bad, just bad. After playing ps5 games like Ragnorak and Forbidden west going to a nonstatic sub 60fps is extraordinarily noticeable.

    Don’t buy unless on sale. First mission is 9/10, the rest of the game is 3/10.
    1. Performance: constant drops on performance mode and runs in 720p. Looks like pixelated mess
    2. Story: most boring story, especially compared to previous game. Main villains is just blend, characters don’t develop at all. The only interesting part is the first mission and the observatory assault. 3. Gameplay:    Don’t buy unless on sale. First mission is 9/10, the rest of the game is 3/10.

    2. Story: most boring story, especially compared to previous game. Main villains is just blend, characters don’t develop at all. The only interesting part is the first mission and the observatory assault.
    3. Gameplay: 80% of the game is Lara Croft style empty dungeon exploration. Other 20% it tries to be Sekiro, but fails. Fighting feels great in duels, but when there are multiple enemies it’s just bad. Game punishes you for everything, blocking invincibility windows and strange(because of the delay between blocks), enemies spam unblockable attacks and unlike souls games those are the same basic attack animations just with red light. Same goes for droids, sometimes they flash red lasers for unblockables, other times do the same for regular attacks.
    Play forming part is a big joke. You can run walls, but only the highlighted ones. You have a grapple hook, but it works only for specific points. Sometimes it gets ridiculous even for a Jedi game - you push yourself from a wall and force push yourself back in it 5 times in a row to go up. After middle of the game most of the time you do double jump + force dash through power field which allows you to double jump and force push again. Just give him a jet pack.
    4) Voice acting: it was great for everybody except Merin. Only in English she sounds like a fan made voice acting, dull and uninspired. Even worse than Ada in RE4 remake.
    Good parts: Some boss duels and first 3 hours of the game feel interesting, then it just becomes repetitive and silly.    … Expand

    Jeux pas fini, il fallait le repousser . Énormément de bug pour un jeu qui a du potentiel . Je ne peux même pas finir les quetes de Caij à cause d’un bug! Déçu pour toute cette attente. En gros à ne pas acheter pour l’instant tant que les corrections ne seront pas faites .

    I am a massive fan of all things star wars but this game i found to be boring and a massive step back from the original. I am referring here to the back step in stances, that you can now only use 2 at a time and can only be changed at a rest point. Story was ok, more so in second half.

    For me the main issue that affected my enjoyment was the numerous flaws and glitches i have experienced, the quest markers wouldn't update which made me head for 40 mins in wrong direction, on another occasion just going up a lift my character would die as if fell from great height, tears in images on screen and also blurry images, faces look ridiculous at times.
    This game has stopped me from ever buying digital game again and now i feel stuck with a game i will never play again. This coming from a fan who still plays Battlefront 2 to this day. I will also avoid this developer as a result.    … Expand

    Great story, beautiful set piece. The world feels more populated and alive than the previous entry but the bugs just absolutely kill any enjoyment and if you’re a completionist you’re gonna be sorely disappointed because a game breaking bug may prevent you from getting that platinum trophy until it’s patched; something we’ve been waiting on for over a month.

Some enemies were impossible for me to kill after research and dozens of tries on normal difficulty; blocking just doesn’t work. I also fell to my death hundreds of times wall running and jumping into oblivion. The map system is worthless and there is no minimap or indicators onscreen during gameplay - I couldn’t find more than a handful of optional quests since it’s extremely hard to find your way around. Worlds are mostly empty and it is rare to find useful loot. The stance system is silly and only a couple stances are worth using at all. I have been gaming for 30 years and this is the most frustrating game I’ve bought in that time - uninstalled it halfway through and zero chance I’ll finish this one.… Expand

When you take control of an enemy to make them fight for you, they are still more likely to attack you than your opponents, meaning you just wasted time and force for nothing, and made the fight harder for yourself because you don't expect to be hit from behind and you waste health. The game feels empty, with large sections of mindless parkour followed by more mindless sections, but this times filled with a ton of enemies the size of your foot, but somehow do half your health bar with one hit on normal mode. And the parkour is extremely bad, as well as the puzzles. The puzzles are stupid, either because they are somewhere they shouldn't be, or because they make no sense. And the parkour is either mind numbingly boring, or its extremely hard to do because finding the path is like finding Waldo. If you aren't 2 inches from your screen, it can be easy to overlook slightly differently shaped pieces of rock, meaning you can be stuck on one jump for minutes because the game designers don't know how to distinguish between background textures and important-pieces-to-the-puzzle textures. And for some reason, you can lose hours of progress at once for no reason, and the game will just spawn you in at a random meditation point you visited. Afterwards, the ride-able creatures will float in the air, or rubber-band around when you are riding them. This game came out almost half a year ago, and yet t major bugs like this are still in the game. It is a waste of money to buy, because they clearly don't care about making an actually engaging and enjoyable story and world. They just want your money. But hey, pay them like 20 extra bucks, and you can get a few free skins and colors you can use if you want, even though they don't look much different than the other skins you can unlock. I haven't really noticed the performance issues the others are dealing with, but it does sometimes get really bad for no reason, just not enough to be an issue for me.… Expand

    Sometimes uneven, often wondrous, Survivor is bombastic and joyous, though it feels like a middle child in search of a trilogy ending. May the Force be with it. [Issue#28, p.72]

    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.
