I don't know if it is true delay or just the inability to interrupt animations, but it feels like half the time I push a button nothing happens or it takes a second to register the input. Other than the controls and balancing, the graphics and story are OK, but I find I have to change the difficulty up and down a lot to make up for the slow controls and irregular balancing. A bit frustrating most of the time and a let-down overall compared to the first game.… Expand

    The game is a mess in PC, it's unplayable. I could let slide the poor performance, but I got to a point in the game when the constant crashing don't let me keep through.

    Performance is terrible even with my RTX4090. Serious frame drops here and there on the 1st and 2nd planet, followed by repeated crashes now on the 3rd planet halting any further progression. This game is not ready.

    The PS5 version is broken.
    Framerates drop all the time.
    There is stuttering happening every 20 seconds.

    Fun but overtuned combat, mechanics are not tight enough for the type of gameplay they are trying to emulate. A very poor souls-like on anything higher than normal difficulty.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Performance issues aside (yes even the ps5 version has consistent massive frame drops on quality mode), the story and combat were extremely lackluster, we get new characters with little to no development, a bad guy that was so forgettable I can't remember his name off the top of my head even though I just finished the main story 10 minutes ago (dago something?), and combat that feels very empty once you get the hang of just mashing square to break poise, dodging if the enemy turns red and blocking if they try a regular or ranged attack. Beyond the mediocre story and combat the level design is just so uninspired, yes there are really cool visuals and some parkour sequences that are enjoyable but otherwise it's just the same double jumping into dash with some climbing, wall running and hookshotting sprinkled in. Most of the shortcuts feel completely unnecessary, you will often get a shortcut and wonder why it was even needed at all, my guess is that this is mostly for people trying to get all the collectibles, but these weren't that appealing to me anyways. You will often pass by certain doors or objects that are unreachable until an ability is unlocked later on in the game (similar to GOW/GOW: Ragnatok in recent years), but the drive to return to these spots completely dies out once you realize it's all just for uninspired cosmetic items that do nothing to enhance gameplay in any way. The only cool items in my opinion were a few of the outfits and the lightsaber modifications, but most of the time you just ended up with a new colour pallette that you'll never use. Can't recommend this game, even if they do improve the performance. Do better please.… Expand

    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

    A worthy sequel to the original. Combat is improved, and the variety of stances feels meaningful moreso than in the original. The story is also solid.

    A worthy sequel to the original. Combat is improved, and the variety of stances feels meaningful moreso than in the original. The story is also solid. 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.
