    Good story and even better combat. Game looks great and runs well (other than a few occasional frame drops). Lots of customization and it’s rewarding to explore. Really enjoyed this game and you can tell a lot of love went into it.

Yo como siempre empiezo diciendo que literalmente tengo una flor en el culo ya que no me ha dado más problemas que las bajadas de FPS sobre todo al principio y también noto que la resolución no es todo lo buena que debería ser y aveces se ve raro. Quitando eso creo que es un juego que te atrapa desde el primer momento con la historia la ambientación y los personajes tan tan carismáticos. Los planetas son enormes hasta tal punto que te abruma, básicamente ha mejorado X5 todo lo que el primer juego ya hacía bien así que en general diría que es una gozada en cuanto pulan un poco las bajadas de FPS.. Bugs como ta,l de la jugabilidad no he tenido más que uno que me he salido del mapa y ya está. Incluso DLC le puedes meter a este juego con nuevos planetas y enemigos y sería BRUTAL.… Expand

    Jedi Survivor is an incredible game. Were there bugs, sure. What game doesn't, especially a Star Wars game. 2 Complaints; #1. It was short and not many planets.

    Even though I'm only through one hour of the game, this game has shown itself to be a masterful use of the Star Wars universe. Personally, I loved the first game and the glitches aren't game-breaking, but hilarious instead. Like how I went into a meditation point with my lightsaber was on.

    As a SW fan, I have to say that they improved on the previous game but overall it feels rushed and unpolished. I am struggling to enjoy the game and I can't recommend it at full price. Gameplay is repetitive and combat uninspired. Platforming feels like a chore. I just don't have any fun playing.

    I'm not sure why this is being down voted... I've got the series X version and the game runs just fine. I'm playing it on fancy settings via a LGCX and it looks great, and plays at 30 odd fps. The game itself is a brilliant sequel, and has added some cool features and skills, adding new content to what was already a great format. Love it, don't belive the negative hype!

    Don't listen to the outrageously bad reviews, the game has some glitches but nothing to ruin the experience. It improves on the previous game in terms of gameplay and exploration and is very fun in itself.

    If it weren't for the technical glitches it would be a 9 game but as it is now it's still a great game.

I loved the first one and had high hopes for the sequel, and the game started off pretty well. It has a great first act and seemed to be everything that was promised. There are new stances, a plethora of customization choices for your lightsaber and Cal’s outfit. The cinematography, voice acting, script and story have continued to be above average and are this game’s primary strengths. Unfortunately, they do not make up for this game’s many, MANY shortcomings in almost all other areas.

    We should get the obvious issues out of the way; the ones everyone talks about: performance. This game runs abysmally. It really is as bad as other users have described. There was a huge red glad when I was booting this up for the first time. I was setting HDR and other settings and got the the performance or quality mode preset options. I’m not joking when I tell you that I laughed out loud when I saw just how terrible this game looked in performance mode. I joked with my girlfriend who was watching with me that it looked like a game from the ps3 era. It is sub-720p in performance mode. I knew this game had terrible performance issues so I had contemplated using performance mode but selected quality and a low frame rate because I just could not stand to play it in performance mode. The frame rate is terrible. It’s as bad as they say. Constant dropped frames, low rates, etc. in larger areas like koboh it is especially noticeable. And don’t ever go near water. The game cannot handle rendering water at all. Even a small waterfall will tank your frame rate into the teens. It is as ridiculous as it sounds. You would think that with such terrible performance issues that this game looks beautiful, but it absolutely does not. In quality mode with hdr on (which is broken), this game looks like a ps4 game. It doesn’t help that everything is muddy and so visual cues such as teleportation circles are hard to see. The game also renders wind terribly which is a big game mechanic in some of the areas. You can’t even tell where it’s blowing or what direction it pushes you. The bugs. Oh my lord the bugs. Every single area, every single action, every single story beat is affected by at least one. I was exploring the desert in Jedha and the sand on the ground in some parts were completely black like they couldn’t be rendered in the engine. Incredibly jarring. Falling off of handholds during platforming sections, dropping through the floor, animations bugging out and hitching. It’s all very jarring and wonky. Now we are getting into the game’s biggest issues. Yes, the previous issues were appetizers. This game is entirely too big. I don’t mean that in an assassin’s creed way. I mean there is very little to do and yet the map is 4-5x bigger than it has any reason to be. Every single thing in this game is preceded by inordinate amounts of time walking because the spaces are so huge and empty. For the life of me I cannot understand why there is this much walking and dead space. It is insane how much walking there is. There is no meaningful story information to be gleaned, as in companion dialogue etc. It is literally silent walking for far too long. By FAR, this game’s biggest issue it the combat. There are so many problems with it that it is hard to be inclusive of every one of them. This game is marketed as a souls like with (relatively) tight combat and design choices that emphasize this relation. Respawning enemies, meditation points instead of combat checkpoints, etc would all lead you to believe that the combat system is fair and yet it is far from it. The first game struck a balance between a lot of things such as enemy attack queueing, aggression, and unblockables. This game has thrown it all out of the window. Enemies spam unblockables, many of them mixups which have unreachable windows. Five enemies will spam unblockables on you at the same time while the others constantly shoot you with blasters stunning you. It is **** broken. A ridiculous amount of enemies in combat encounters coupled with terrible hit boxes and almost nonexistent punish windows make this the worst combat system I have ever played. I am not exaggerating. Not to mention the terrible frame rate exacerbating all of these issues. This is a solid pass. I wish I could tell more people not to buy this. It’s a huge letdown and hopefully enough people see this review and pass on it. The story is okay, it’s really nothing special. It is presented pretty well, but everything else is trash. Do not. Buy.

Put me a clear path forward if I want it, similar to Dead Space's awesome navigation.

I played FO on my old rig but didn’t have a good time as it didn’t perform well. FO was amazing on my new computer and I couldn’t wait to dive into Survivor… but I never expected this!!!

    Sure I also had a bit of performance issues, but overall the game ran even better than    Just WOW!!!

FO was amazing on my new computer and I couldn’t wait to dive into Survivor… but I never expected this!!!

    Sure I also had a bit of performance issues, but overall the game ran even better than FO. I’ve made a ton of tweaks, including capping the game at 40 FPS and honestly it’s seamless now! Tracking the FPS with Rivia Tuner and it literally DOES NOT MOVE no matter what happens on screen! It’s INSANE! Now… truly, the more I play the more I’m freaking out! This game improves on every aspect of the first one, in spectacular ways!!! From the story, to the pacing, to the level design and especially combat! It’s **** insane!!! Every time I think I’m getting the hang of it, a new boss comes along, or I unlock new gear or abilities. Or the story takes me to a moon and back!!! I’m truly so, so amazed by this game. At it’s core, IT’S FUN!!!

    The added insane level of customisation just adds that extra layer that makes the immersion so much better. Every time I am about to embark on a new journey to a new area, I kit my Cal out with an appropriate outfit to enhance my experience. It just adds to the cinematic when Cal seems to fit into the situation with what he’s wearing. I love it!! If I’m expecting a big fight, we do a bun, otherwise we have the hair loose for some exploring. The added physics in the hair and clothes are just supreme!

    From playing the Hologram mini game, to just now unlocking the Bounties… I just had to come on here and share my experience. They fixed my performance issues with the first patch, and I can play with nearly every setting on Epic, at a PERFECT 40 FPS. Which feels buttery smooth and responsive. I have zero stutter, frame drops or lag now. My PC also stays much cooler now having capped the frame rate to a nice middle ground. I do wish it had DLSS though, as then I’d be able to max everything and turn on Ray Tracing. I have a 3070 in my MSI laptop. But honestly that all feels like overkill as my current experience is flawless.

    I’m not even a Star Wars fan, like at all. So this whole world and the lore is all new to me. And it’s AMAZING!!! From the performances by the cast, the EPIC music, the detailed and beautifully constructed worlds. This game is an absolute joy to play! It’s challenging in all the right ways, the rewards feel meaningful. And exploring almost always has a nice pay off.

    This game is 10 times the game Fallen Order was, and that game was GOOD. But this, this is on another level! I can not wait to see where the story goes. I’m only 20 hours in now! I just came back from Jedha. I am sorry to the people who worked on this game to have it review bombed the way that it was. However I’m taking notes from how things have gone with releases the past few years, adding about a month or two after release before I jump in, so the kinks can be ironed out. However with Survivor, you guys pretty much fixed every issue I was was having with that initial patch, which came days after release. So thanks for that.

    PHENOMENAL GAME!!! Holy **** Thank you to everyone involved! This truly is so, so much fun!!! I never expected it to be THIS GOOD!!! Nor that I’d have this much fun playing it. Feels like it’s been years since I’ve played a game where literally every aspect has so much love and care in it, that the entire experience just becomes legendary!

    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.
