    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.

    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.

    The game and story are great but I can’t with good conscience rate this game any higher than a 2 because it’s broken. EA had no business to release the game in this state, they should’ve delayed it because it obviously needed more time to be polished. As gamers we need to start demanding complete games upon release, we vote with our wallets and all of us need to stop buying broken games.

    As of now, I don’t recommend this game to anyone playing on PS5. The frame rate (mostly at or below 50 FPS in a blurry looking 1080p) is still unacceptable for an AAA title on such a capable hardware. Buyers beware.

    There is an amazing game hidden underneath a gigantic pile of bugs and performance issues. I'd recommend checking back in about a year before buying it, or you will not have the intended experience.

    Edit: Patch 6 came out after a month of radio silence, and it only seems to have made things worse. Lowering the rating to reflect that. Please don't buy the game until at least 2024.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jedi Fallen Order was a good game with certain issues but Jedi Survivor fails as a 'next gen' game. Planets are bigger but duller. Their design is not as good and memorable as in Fallen Order, not to mention there are only 2 planets in Survivor but 5 in FO.

    The slow ability is removed from the game and replaced with boring mind control (temporary alignment change of hostile AI to friendly). The slow is not used in puzzles and is only available in combat by activating the 'super meter' (basically cuckrage mode from GoW). Survivor introduces 3 new stances (5 in total) but only 2 can be equipped at the same time for some retarded reason. You can switch stances at mediation (save) points but hairstyle can be changed in the pause menu immediately, smh. The story is just a huge sequel bait and is based on nonsensical, lame circumstances (the protagonist falls into an ancient tomb containing long lost knowledge while going for a spare part in the basement — literally). Survivor introduces close to no new major characters, mostly antagonists (they all die, unsurprisingly), new good-guys characters all die in the prologue and are replaced with old characters.
    Additionally, a very awkward, pushed and out of nothing romance is incorporated into the story. The devs decided to have a character, Merrin, go full blown edgy and deep 'Russkij akcent' that is so phonyaß and tryharded and unnatural as фак. It was much milder in FO and now my ears bleed from cringe.

    Lastly, the game is technically in an abysmal state. Frames drop below 10 during lightsaber cutscenes, the game drops below 20 fps in large areas (even on performance mode), hardlocks, softlocks, crashes are common even 2 months post initial release.

    Fallen Order wasn't perfect, it had performance issues as well (loading textures) but it had far better designed worlds and the story was built coherently, characters were utilized better.

    Jedi Survivor is similar to Horizon Forbidden West with its story - unrelated to the prequel, based on nonsense, mary-sue character saving the world, pointless characters, heavy sequel baiting; and to A Plague Tale Requiem with its 'cinematic experience' gameplay and performance issues.
    While Survivor may not be as disappointing for me as these two games, it's technically in an unpresentable state right now.    … Expand

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

    Bigger better version of Fallen Order with Cal becoming a more powerful Jedi. Same gameplay but on a larger scale and more of everything. Performance - frequent frame rate issues and crashes continue a month and half after release. Doesn’t completely ruin the experience but disappointing because it detracts from what is otherwise a great game

    I really did feel okay with the story and the gameplay. Until I find I'm just button mashing the same enemy with a different skin. It's the same formula for every encounter. The bugs, the side quests, everything about this reminds me why I wait for a deep sale so these bugs can get ironed out.

    I have seemed to always been let down by Star Wars games. I thought this one would be different. It isn't. I honestly regret buying the game, especially at $70.00

    The story doesn't make a lot of sense, but maybe it's because I didn't play the previous game. I've considered just deleting the game from my hard drive, but I keep hoping maybe the game will grow on me at some point.

    It's not a good feeling to load up a game, and then five minutes in, I'm already debating on whether I want to spend anymore time playing it.

    Maybe you just have to be a huge Star Wars fan to appreciate the game. It isn't doing it for me, however.,    … Expand

    Game is pretty wack IMO. Performance issues, short story, and a boring end boss fight. This is a $40 game that most paid $70 for. I keep hearing "they'll fix the bugs." Got the game 3 weeks after release and already finished that game. Its a lil late. Created a metacritic acct solely to complain about this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If I was rating this game based on characters, story and settings alone, it would probably get at least an eight.

    Unfortunately, the poorly implemented combat system ruins the immersion that STORY mode would otherwise give the player.

    Respawn broke practically every cardinal rule for engaging combat in this design and the end result is a grueling, repetitious grind with little reward.

    1. Don't interrupt the rhythm and flow of combat with cutscenes. We know why we are fighting... no further exposition is required. All it does is drag the player out of immersion and interrupt their gameplay.

    2. If you do decide to interrupt combat with cutscenes, at least have the courtesy to keep the enemy target locked at the end of the cutscene. They were locked on when the player went into it... why do you keep disengaging lock after the cutscene? To give the opponent a few extra hits while the player waits for the abysmally slow response to input?

    3. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Jedi Fallen Order combat was fine. The parry system in Survivor might have been an acceptable change if it weren't so poorly implemented. When you combine the parry system with the erratic camera and the random target lock loss, it's just a horrible mechanic.

    4. In the end game, after the player has mastered every force power, stance, and purchased every perk, why are they still the weakest jedi that has ever existed? What exactly is the payoff for all the work the player puts into gaining these abilities if they are so weak that they are practically useless? Why does every single jedi in the game, even one who was in the same circumstances as your character, possess grand master level force abilities? Literally the only opponents you can willfully crush are stormtroopers... you know, the same ones you were crushing at the beginning of the game. There is practically no reason to gain skills because they hardly give the player any advantage at all.

    5. Where are the player's area of effect force powers? Why does every single boss fight have AoE, but at no point in the game does the player have the opportunity to earn similar or at least competing powers? Why is the combat designed to punish the player not for choices they make, but for choices they don't even have?

    6. Unblockable attacks. Sure, why not? Spamming unblockable attacks with follow-on melee attacks at twice the combat speed of the player... no. It is not fun in any way.

    7. Unblockable arena-crossing magnetic attacks. What is the purpose of dodging when every single dodge has to be timed to perfection to evade a crushing amount of damage? In the end, the player simply becomes a damage sponge who circles their opponent trying to dodge or parry in the hopes that they might get a few shots in every few minutes or so. Rather like whittling wood... except the player isn't playing a wood whittling game, they are playing a Star Wars game as a Jedi.

    I was really looking forward to this game, but from the get-go the combat was just so sub-par in implementation that at no point did I feel like a jedi. Boss fights were so repetitious and frustrating that at the end, I felt absolutely no sense of accomplishment... just the huge relief that I could get past that and on to the next part of the story, finish the game and uninstall it without looking back.    … Expand

    I've now put a couple of hours into the game and I must say I thoroughly enjoy it! Many improvements vs the first game, beautiful graphics, challenging but not tiring combat and enjoyable side activities. The game did crash once, but I didn't lose any progress so I don't consider it a big issue.

    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.
