    The game is very fun. I mostly appreciate that they started you out with the abilities you had to work through the previous game to get. The combat is improved from last game and I appreciated the new addition of lightsaber forms. Overall, highly recommend.

    A very enjoyable star wars experience. It takes the semi open world concept with hints of old school prince of persia, uncharted, and even dark souls elements all wrapped up in an epic star wars story.

    Jedi: Fallen Order was an amazing experience as a Star Wars fan. The sequel expanded upon and provided a more polished and impressive experience.

    It's good, but... Dude the game is stuttery as heck. This is the first game I immediately saw screen tearing on, on an end to end Compatible setup. I'm confused, why can't we sue, for being sold a defective product? So I really need to engage local government to make sure publishers are held responsible?

Edit: let's put it this way, when it gets to the point where I can't tell if I'm just dumb, and not able to solve the puzzle or if I'm dealing with a bug, that's where I draw the line. When prompts don't trigger when they should or if you're constantly trying to determine if you're In a bug or not, no dude... Not for $70. Again, there's got to be a way to just class action publishers for this. There's nothing like furting the bottom line that wakes investors up.

    For a little flavor, the game is a little bit god of war, titanfall 2, and horizon...I actually like the game TBH, which is why I'm updating this a second time, but still...that doesn't excuse the poor runtime experience. As I said before, I keep ending up in situation(environmental puzzles) where I cant tell if its a bug or a feature.

    After finishing the story I'm upgrading the score from 4 to 8 due to how many time I sat back and said, man this is a good game. Further, ps5 is serviceable, it was distracting at first impression but the game was so good, I soon forgot/ignored the performance.    … Expand

    A narratively engaging and mechanically sound game that defies its infrequent bugginess to be something quite excellent.

    Survivor manages to trump its prequel, Fallen Order, by adding content in a truly additive fashion. It also presents a more mature and powerful story - one that manages to subvert common tropes within the Star Wars universe, and injects its messages into its gameplay in ways that are both powerful and inventive. This story is also carried by solid acting and extremely well-animated cutscenes.

    Sadly, Survivor does have some issues with performance - while not nearly as abysmal as I have heard the game's performance on PC is, there were some issues on PS5 with stuttering, lengthy framerate drops, mistimed lip-sync outside of cutscenes, and three crashes to the home screen within a single area. These issues did not ruin my experience by any means, but they did leave an impression.

    Overall, Jedi: Survivor is an excellent follow-up to Fallen Order, which is solid in its own right, and I would argue it even manages to surpass it. I urge anyone who feels wary about purchasing it (based on criticisms of its performance) to be cautiously optimistic, as I believe there is more than enough good here to encourage players to look past some choppiness in its performance.    … Expand

So, I was extremely excited to see everything new that this game had to offer and it didn’t disappoint. Many things have been added or expanded upon from its predecessor and are mostly worthwhile additions. It adds more enemies and abilities, a huge main world to explore, side quests (rumors), challenges, an immensely fun mini game, and more. Holotactics is now one of my favorite mini games ever. You also get an outpost to interact with and recruit intriguing NPCs to. This game also has one of the coolest action sequences that I’ve ever played through (when you escape the Pilgrim Sanctuary with Merrin).

    This game has some flaws though. First, the beginning of the plot feels like happenstance, more so than I can recall in any other game. No spoilers, but is Cal the luckiest Jedi in the galaxy? Also, the villain’s motives seem naive and are not fleshed out enough. Second, you obtain some gadgets very late in the story, which slightly discourages exploration, even after 25+ hours. Last, sometimes the controls are unresponsive and there are minor glitches that caused me to restart the game (R1 button not working, couldn’t change stance, or couldn’t cycle targets.)

    Combat in this game was slightly frustrating too. I played on Jedi Master (Hard mode) difficulty, for context. The ranged enemies are irritating. Whether, attacking them or deflecting their shots back at them, they are highly evasive. The targeting controls are messy, so when targeting someone, if I get attacked, the game will switch targets. There was also one instance where I had an enemy trapped in a corner and he dodged all of my attacks, despite my lightsaber clipping through his body. Finally, some mini bosses have one hit kill attacks (not present in Fallen Order), which adds another level of frustration.

    I personally enjoyed Jedi: Fallen Order slightly more. I found it to be simpler and better paced. The vast amount of combat options in this game is frankly overwhelming and unnecessary. And, maybe the story could have been told better. Regardless, this is an amazing sequel that I still highly recommend. The plot gets pretty dark towards the end and I can’t wait to see the payoff in another entry. - 8.5    … Expand

Quick travel from meditation points is very welcome. Story pacing is not a problem; if you want to explore between main quests and knock out some collectibles/side quests you get the opportunity. As you progress in abilities more areas open up, even on worlds you've previously visited - so there's some reason to revisit "completed" worlds. Overall it was just a good fun game. Not a 10/10, but 8 seems reasonable (if I was forced to go over/under 8 it'd probably be slightly under).

    I can't speak to the performance issues others seemed to have. I bought this upon release on a PS5 and didn't have any noticeable issues. Some gamers have trouble with games under 60fps; I prefer 60fps but I can enjoy a game perfectly well at 30fps. YMMV here.

    The level of difficulty is a bit uneven. While I beat the final boss the first try on "normal" (Jedi Knight) difficulty, certain bosses took dozens of tries. One I even had to give up on and lower the difficulty to get past. Maybe I just need to "git gud", but it just seemed out of sync with the rest of the game.

    If you prefer bigger open worlds and exploration, this teases that a bit but I certainly wouldn't buy it for that; the story and game are mostly linear. There is opportunity to explore each area after, but basically you're just hunting down collectibles. It's satisfying enough if you like that sort of thing.    … Expand

    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.
