    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is now my favorite Star Wars game since Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. There are so many things that this game does just right that you could argue that this game is the best Star Wars game to date.

There are so many things that this game does just right that you could argue that this game is the best Star Wars game to date. An example that I’ll use is Jedi: Survivor’s excellent combat system and the number of directions you could go with it. You’re given 5 different stances that you can use in combat which consist of single, double-sided, duel wield, blaster, and crossguard. Each one is meant to help you feel like a Jedi Master, as you traverse through each planet. Speaking of which, each planet is filled with so much content that you can practically get lost exploring for hours. I once spent 10 hours just exploring and leveling up my Cal Kestis so much that I also had a huge wardrobe of cosmetics for him after. Even when I thought I explored every corner of the map, there was always a bigger mystery I had not discovered.
    The cast of characters in Jedi Survivor is written so well that it can be hard to choose a favorite. Of course, we play as Cal Kestis, our main protagonist from the last game, however, he’s not the only returning character. Characters like Cere, Greez, and Merrin return, and lots has changed since the last time we’ve seen them in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. We do get new characters like Bode Akuna and Dagan Gera who both play a huge role in Jedi: Survivor’s plot. I won’t be discussing it for spoiler reasons but this story is a huge step up from the last game that it raises the bar for where Cal might go in his inevitable third game. With the addition of the many different stances and new game plus, you could get multiple playthroughs with this game, almost justifying the 70-dollar price tag. One big complaint I have with this game is how badly it runs on console, with constant problems dealing with low frame rate, pop-in issues, and textures not loading. I had my game crash 4 different times, one particular one right after a boss fight that ruined any tension the scene had. Even after all the patches it still ran bad and sometimes even worse than before. Hopefully, this gets patched so that future players can experience this amazing story with no bugs.
    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a perfect example of cinematic translation from movie to game. With an amazing soundtrack, action set pieces, and writing that it makes other Star Wars media look lower tier. With its amazing lightsaber combat system that allows you to be your own Jedi that you always dreamed of being, this game gives what any Star Wars fan would want. While the technical issues can be bad, the game itself does a great job of allowing you to overlook the issues and continue playing. In the end, I give Star Wars Jedi: Survivor a 9/10 score.    … Expand

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

    I'm playing on PS5, it's really fun. Haven't notice a lot of the problems people have mentioned here. It is a big download even from disk, and it resets you back to the main menu when there's an update when you come back from standby which is annoying.

    The game should have been delayed. It’s unfinished and it’s inexcusable that it’s been released in the state it’s in. Game journalists putting out fluff pieces saying things along the lines of “the developers are working tirelessly to fix the game” are really pissing me off, acting like they’re doing this big noble thing for the consumer by doing so when it should have just been finished by purchase day. To make things worse, one of those articles suggested I turn off HDR so it would improve performance. Turn off HDR on my £60 game I’m playing on my £500 PS5. That’s the level we’re at with this now. All of this while what they should actually be doing is holding the company behind it accountable, but of course they won’t want to piss off the wrong people now, do they?

    Anyone that has bought this game has bought a broken product and defending it is just enabling big companies like EA to keep doing **** like this to the consumer. I’ve literally seen reviews on here giving it a score of 8-10 even acknowledging the performance issues but accepting it because the name Star Wars is slapped onto it.

    To be critical, I’ll give it a 2 in its current state. Combat, gameplay and story are mostly fine even if slightly generic, but it loses 8 because of it being a total mess on launch and I feel cheated into buying a game with that much money behind it when it’s not finished.

    Also please remember, that a big company like EA does not need you to white knight for them. A brand like Star Wars does not need you to white knight for them. They’ll do just fine on their own. They don’t care about you, just your money and the more we keep giving it to them and defending them for stuff like this, the less they are ever likely to change.    … Expand

    This is a step up from the original in terms of gameplay alone. The narrative also happens to be a lot more interesting. The big downside to this game is obviously the glaring performance issues. I can overlook them quite a bit but other than that I think the side quests are pretty boring and the worlds feel empty. The game however is really fun.

    - Bounties are an exciting addition leading to fun fights
    - cutscenes genuinely feel like movie scenes with wonderful direction and voice acting
    - the OST makes the already amazing cutscenes hit deep in moments I did not expect
    - both the returning and newly introduced characters feel appropriate with some definite stand outs (Cal, Merrin, Bode, Caij, Greez)
    - the inhabitants of the cantina are fun and interesting to talk to, making me do the rounds anytime I visited the saloon

    Cons
    - performance issues and crashes
    - anti-consumer practices in selling a physical copy that requires a download to play
    - a motivation for a certain characters actions feel like the worst way to write what the writers were trying to accomplish

    As a sequel Survivor succeeds in improving on everything Fallen Order did and then some. As a game release, survivor fails hard. My god if they cooked this for some more time and released it finished this would be an easy nine with a potential for a ten for me.

    When it comes to the main bulk of the game, Survivor is packed with content and fun side activities. Outside of the main story, the game is a collectathon where you are encouraged to find all of the various outfits and lightsabers you can, to fuel the newly added customization.

    A fantastic feature by the way, supported by the fact that all cutscenes are not pre-rendered which means your customization actually affects how Cal looks throughout the story.

    So what about the story? Bigger, grander and a lot more ambitious. After the first game the characters ended in very appropriate places and are now encouraged to find their actual place in the galaxy. Filled with fun and epic moments, Survivor delivers on character development and adds in some obvious twists that hide some of the less obvious ones. All this accompanied by a stellar OST that makes this game a thrillride.

    Side activities are way more fun as the Bounty and Rumor systems lead to organic exploration while Holotactics is just a fun way to unwind. Exploration is made a lot more fun with such additions as a grappling hook and an air dash.

    So how about the massive elephant in the room? The botched release leaves the game feeling unfinished. Full transparency, played on a PS5, Quality Mode week after a release. Started the game on the third patch and ended it on the fourth.

    From all I have seen and heard, I thought my time would be much worse than it actually was. During my fifty hours with the game, I have experienced three crashes, one within three minutes of starting a new game.

    Quality mode means locked to 30fps. Grew up with a bad PC so 30fps was a luxury to me so that does not bother me, though I believe the complaint of paying 70$ for a new-gen game and getting only 30 is valid.

    I mean you can attempt 60 with the Performance mode but I would not recommend that. Even locked to 30 the game tanked way below that on Koboh, mainly in areas like Riverbed Watch and Untamed Downs. That on PS5 is straight garbage.

    So, Survivor eh? One of the best sequels that almost did not survive its release. I want to stress that I genuinely had a good time with the game while not invalidating the issues other people had. Though I can only rate my own experience. For me, just like the first game, this is a fantastic product held back by some of the most avoidable failures. What a shame.    … Expand

    The story feels like a very bad predictable fanfiction with dialogues that feel insulting and are on this level: "You are bad" "Yes I am bad" "Why aren't you good?" "Maybe you are right. I should be good. NO. HAHA. I am bad" *lightsaber clash

    The characters are stereotypical, uninteresting, and even Cal became a dreamy robot.

    The environments are lacklustre, everything feels like an empty desert. There is empty Coruscant, empty random planet I cannot even remember the name of, the broken moon which in reality is just an uninteresting space base and Jedah, which is a desert. What happened??? We had Kashyyyk, Zeffo, Bracca, all beautiful unique environments...

    The platform elements are boring. Jump on wall, run on wall, use a rope. We had these already in the previous episode and in every action platformer game in the past 20 years.

    The combat is unbalanced. There are mini bosses that are waaaaay harder than almost any of the big bosses. Which are mostly hit and dodge too, anyways. The stances could be a nice refreshment, but why can I slot only 2 at the same time? Why is there a 2 handed stance where the lightsaber feels like a broadsword? The blade of the lightsaber does not have weight and the weight of the hilt does not change based on how it's held. Illogical ****

    And the customization. Ahh. I can change the color and appearance of the lightsaber, Cal, BD who is not even visible most of the time and can have an aquarium and a garden. This feels more than insulting. Why can't we customize the Mantis, intertior, exterior? Customize the interior of the pub... Build a small settlement... Or do anything that feels remotely interesting and meaningful.

    Last but not least, the technical part: I had some crashes, a lot of texture popups, slowdowns, etc which probably will be better in a couple of weeks. But the animations are horrible, the characters and mounts seem/feel like ice skating on the ground.
    And the game does not seem like a PS5 game. Horizon which was released last year has jaw-dropping environments, animations, lighting, character animations. Compared to that, SWJ:S feels like at least previous generation.

    Overall, the whole thing feels like a very bad fan mod or a 5 dollar unofficial DLC.    … Expand

    Only two real planets to explore (and 4 very small and linear ones) none of them are really interesting besides the two main ones...

    Level design is very strange as it feels like the different areas are connected by stuff kinda floating in the air that doesn't really make a lot of sense if you think about it... kills the immersion a bit.

    Beside that, gameplay feels pretty good (when the game runs properly) the new stances are fun, the crossguard is pretty badass i have to admit (even if i'm not a fan of the sequels)

    There is a lot of customisation, and a lot of items to force you to explore, sometimes it's a bit much, if you're a completionist.

    Anyway, even without performance issues, i think Jedi Survivor is not bad, but not a great game either, without i'ts star wars skin it would have been pretty a average game, i played it for the gameplay and the jedi fantasy, but the rest was kinda underwhelming to me.    … Expand

Even with the MINOR bugs on console this game is still a 9/10 for me, and is a contestant for GOTY. If you're a Star Wars fan and have been missing what KOTOR made you feel in the early 2000s check out Jedi Survivor!!!… Expand

    Huge improvement over the first game. Wish there were more planets to explore, but the combat is fun and story is alright. You can always count on Star Wars fans to be the absolute worst on the internet, hence all the review bombs.

    Bland characters. Poor story pacing. Performance issues even on the PS5. Clunky when doing obstacle courses (would phase through ropes or the animations wouldn't fire).

Exploration was a bit lackluster. Visual bugs like the red lightsabers being just a dark orange is ridiculous. The asset for red is in the first game, no reason why there should have been an issue porting it to this one. The game feels like a 2016 game and if it was released then, I wouldn't be as critical. If a studio with more experience in these types of game (Like santa monica) had control of development without the oversight of EA, it'd have been a far better game.… Expand

I keep trying to give it more chances and end up turning off the PlayStation all together because Cal didn’t latch onto a wall or something. I really can not stress enough how awful the combat is. For example I go to take one swing with the light saber, Cal is so slow that I see the enemy start to attack, I press block, but no no, Cal is still stuck on the last move. I take damage, so I just sit there focusing on defense, the enemy has an opening so I attack, enemy moves slightly and Cal misses altogether wasting a force move, now a rocket comes in from the periphery but I can’t force push it because I’m out of force, I get knocked over, meanwhile another enemy jumps on top of me. I try to block again but still Cal is too late. It’s like trying to play an online game but the lag is sooo bad you turn it off. When there are titles out there with amazing gameplay, horizon, assassins creed, nier automata to name a couple examples, heck the Witcher III wild hunt has better combat(or should I say more enjoyable). So disappointed in this game. Do not waste your money, wait for it to go on sale.… Expand

By the way, without the “dark” side points it would have been a 10 rating, so subject to change here if it is patched.

    Let`s go to the good points first!
    Cal is a real Jedi now! I like that I do not have to upgrade him to usual stuff first, he is competitive from the beginning
    The story idea is great again
    The characters are great again
    The sound is awesome! Blew me off!
    The open world idea, somehow cool, not the biggest fan of it, but ok.

    Let`s go to the dark side now

    Once you start the game for the first time you see that HDR is broken- I do not start any workaround on my PS5 settings for a full price game, how can a Q&A department not see this before release?! I do not get it, seriously!
    So I chose SDR mode, as I wanted to play and Performance mode….geez the framerate dropped on some points badly!!

    This cannot be when you see what a Burning Shores is doing with the PS5 on stable 60 FPS and more even with this huge end boss….maybe EA gives Guerilla a call and ask for help.

    So all in all this game is a 10 for me, but not in this condition as it is right now, especially when you have Burning Shores as a comparism.

    Update: Yesterday the PS5 Update was released, game is now in a condition how I expected it! Great game, great story
    The only minus point is the open world, not a big fan of it in the Star Wars universe, but well also not that bad, yelling at high level it is.

    Actually the best scene happens when you finish the bounty hunter quest! That was unexpected and pretty cool!    … Expand

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

Except larger and filled with lots of irrelevant stuff and side activities like gardening, fishing, more clothes and lightsaber parts as well as uninteresting, irrelevant NPC's. Also combat feels dissatisfying since there is hardly any control especcially when it is hampered by bad camera positioning. I often find Cal making moves I do not want or simply refusing to execute button presses. Since Survivor is relying on fighting more enemies at once than its predecessor as well as more close combat, you will often find yourself surrounded by multiple enemies, beating the **** out of you and interrupting your every moves, while you helplessly see your health drained to certain death. This makes combat very dissatisfying compared to its predecessor. It could have been prevented by making the controls more accurate, immediate and yours. Then it would have been less frustrating and fair, comparable to Demon Souls f.e.
    The inaccuracy of the controls are particularly visible during the force tear challenges. Jumping, dashing etc is so inaccurate. Cables, ledges etc are missed despite clearly reaching them, so that these challenges become one long tedious trial and error frustration.

    Picked it up on launch day, had no issues or bugs playing on the PS5. Story is solid and you can tell that the time that has passed between Fallen Order and Survivor has taken its toll on the characters. I appreciate the change in pace from a linear story (Fallen Order) to open world and being able to pick up side quests.

    This game should not be released at this time:
    -performance mode have even 640x480 graphics - really! Even then it has almost all the time drops of fps
    -graphic mode looks better, but it has huge fps drops all the time, it is not usable
    -reuse of fragments of previous game - what is funny, those places looked better than.
    -platformer with almost no "force" use - only lightsaber.

    Playing on Ps5. This is by far the best star wars game ever, developpers really did a great job creating a heartful story, gameplay is fantastic and builds itself bette than the first game. I do not have performance issues as some others seem to have.

    PS5 performance very very bad. Fps drops, screen tearing is happening too much. I bought the game for $70 but I can't play it. My eyes are almost going to break. For technical reasons i deducted 2 points.

    Quality mode is really good but 30fps is not acceptable to my eyes. The story is good, the gameplay is very very good, the exploration feeling is excellent.

    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.

    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.

    Not ok.

    Combat feels a bit wonky and like a very unpolished version of Dark Souls. The world design is big and pretty, but also very confusing (I don’t think I’ve ever been stuck this many times in a game, simply because finding the correct path to take is a pain). Rewards for doing anything optional in the game, are kind of meaningless. Sure, they listened and made your character and lightsaber more customizable, but… what’s the point? It’s all cosmetic, and there are no gear, weapons or anything that affects gameplay besides stances. When am I ever gonna stop to look at which one of the many similar looking components, I’m using on my lightsaber?! It’s meaningless, unnecessary fluff. But besides these gripes, it’s still a functional, playable video game - it just doesn’t do anything you haven’t already played a million times before, but what it does, it does well enough. Definitely not the worst offender in terms of playing it safe, but not a game that has a unique voice either. Am I alone in being fed up with the standard AAA-formulas we keep being served? I miss the days of creativity in AAA game design. Seems like the indie scene is where all the interesting stuff keeps happening.    … Expand

Performance mode is a joke and charging £70 for something as unstable and poor looking as this is nothing short of disgusting. Graphics themselves can look very impressive in certain areas and on specific character models (at times) however the textures and overall look of the game in general is pathetically average for an exclusive next gen title. Blatantly no noticeable improvements over last gen. The story and the protagonist carries this game; as Cal Kestis, a likeable and empathetic character that continues to bring the best out of the series. His commitment as a true jedi and also someone who cares deeply for the relationships with the people around him are consistently at odds with each other, which makes for an intriguing and entertaining dynamic. The story overall is satisfying however, even with its longer length than fallen order, it still manages to feel as though it was cut short. The entire game focuses on reaching a specific location but the payoff to this falls completely short. Twists and turns keep things interesting but mostly occur towards the backend of the story adding to that feeling of an abrupt ending. Combat has been somewhat dulled down in a sense, there are now three more lightsaber stances over fallen order’s two, however, the existing lightsaber stances have been reduced to being less intricate and the new stances are watered down even more so. Frustrating development choices mean only two of the five stances can be equipped at anytime, this leads to players becoming accustomed to the same two stances that they are most proficient with, making the other three completely pointless outside of special narrative circumstances. The planets are a lot less diverse and there aren’t an abundance of locations to choose from. One location is semi open world and where the player will spend arguably 75% of the game. The other locations become increasingly smaller with only one other open location that isn’t even half the size of the first, and multiple small locations (including the final planet) that are even less of the size of the linear locations of fallen order. It’s genuinely a massive back step with the exception of the amazing semi open world location, that breathes new life into the franchise. The new cosmetic system is fantastic and gives the player a sense of input and control of the main character, all cosmetics are implemented into cutscenes and this much needed improvement enhances the experience massively. Overall Jedi survivor is still an impressive title that does truly allow you as Cal Kestis to feel like a Jedi knight, especially when free roaming the open locations picking off droids and stormtroopers, it’s that type of experience that saves this game but other elements hold it back and even go completely in the wrong direction from fallen order. Hopefully these are things that can be improved further in the third instalment.… Expand

    I had a great time playing Jedi Survivor. The combat was amazing, really good action gameplay. I really enjoyed the story. The voice actors were amazing, movie quality performances. Some of the puzzles were frustrating and slowed my progress. Apart from that it was a really good game. No bugs or glitches for me at all.

    I’ve never written a review for a game in my life, but considering the overwhelming negative reviews this game is getting, I felt compelled to write something positive. I understand people are frustrated that the game has performance issues, but the game itself shouldn’t be getting bad reviews because of that—the game developer should.

I understand people are frustrated that the game has performance issues, but the game itself shouldn’t be getting bad reviews because of that—the game developer should. I played on PS5 and I only had one small hiccup where the game crashed within the first 3-4 hours of the game, and then after that, I never had another issue.

    But then again, I’m sure my opinion is irrelevant since I’m not a hardcore gamer. I don’t spend thousands of dollars on gaming hardware, and I don’t even really know the difference between 30 fps vs. 60 fps. I’m just an average millennial that still gets amazed when I play a game that looks super realistic.

    With that being said, I just finished the game, and…wow. It was AMAZING, in my opinion. The story was great, the acting was great, the gameplay was great, and the visuals were stunning. Throughout like, half of the game (probably more), I kept thinking that even though I liked this game a lot, I preferred Jedi Fallen Order more. However, the ending completely changed my perspective and I still can’t get over how good that ending was.

    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.
