    Outstanding. About 20 hours in and I haven’t experienced any of the problems I’ve seen in the review bombs listed here. Frame rate is great. No graphics issues at all. The worlds are gorgeous and feel less linear from the outset when you start a new world. Size wise the levels feel massive compared to the original. Playing on the hardest difficulty provides a substantial challenge. BattleOutstanding. About 20 hours in and I haven’t experienced any of the problems I’ve seen in the review bombs listed here.

    Edit: I just learned that the physical disc copy doesn't have the entire game on. So my nephew who doesn't currently have net access can't even install this single player game! Which we spent 70£ on! OMG this is disgusting and may be even criminal. So I've changed the score to 0 as a sham scam product :Edit.

So I've changed the score to 0 as a sham scam product :Edit.

    So I'm a big fan of the franchise, the dev and the first game. And if you love starwars then JS has lots of good aspects from gameplay to graphics to sound. But right now on ps5...It's a mess :(

    In a galaxy far far away one day soon JS might be an 8 or 9... as it's as good as the original. But on ps5 (and pc) despite the publisher and co lies, blame and mis information...There is a large cross section of players / payers who have a broken game. Myself included.

    "Broken" and more accurately unfinished. Poor performance and more importantly an inconsistent frame rate which stutters in performance mode. With audio desyncing And cutscenes all over the place. Plus some hard crashes and broken quests. And ofcourse this all effects gameplay and storytelling...which is really good ...when it works...

    And if you're not having any issues and have a magical 60fps 4k version...then it doesn't mean others payers do too.
    And a simple Google video will provide 100s of legit issues by upset players...fans just like you.

    The above issues have Not been fixed by the mandatory day 1 patch. And all those physical media players who paid 100£€$ but don't have net access or room on their tiny ssd ...have bought a permanently broken mess! And I believe how full your ssd drive is effects this game or it did for me. But a 150gig with large patches means my 500gig free of a 800 gig ssd leaves me with few options. But no one seems to care about this.

    So imo there is no excuse on consoles for these issue... beyond the game was rushed out early. And we know that's a fact as ea released a pre-release statement acknowledging above issues etc.

    So this negative review is justified. All of this junk effects a review score. And yes the game crashes once a day to ps hub so and I've lost progress too. That isn't ok either. I refuse to encourage EA and co to keep treating customers in this anti consumer way. I will amend score as game technical issues improves.    … Expand

    This game is good. Don't waste your time on forspoken, redfall, or other half baked game. You will have a great time playing this. The star wars jedi video game series is by far the best star wars to come our since Disney bought it.

    Preordered the game and really liked Fallen Order so I was excited for Survivor. Very disappointed by Survivor. This game just doesn't look very good on my TV. I have a 4k 120hz tv where Burning Shores looks like the best graphics I have ever seen on PS5, while Survivor can't even consistently hit 60fps and looks like a bad PS3 or PS4 game.

I don't know who's fault this is at EA but it pisses me off. I feel scammed. Who ever at EA thought they should release this game in this condition should be fired in my opinion. I'm never buying an EA game as a preorder and never paying full price for an EA game ever again. And to think people even paid more for the deluxe version and it's in this condition lol. Further, apparently the huge game file is not completely on the physical game disc so whenever EA decides to not support the game you can't play it? Why even release a physical copy if it's not really a full copy of the game? I feel lied to by EA and by reviewers that I'm assuming EA bought. This game wasn't ready for release period. If this was a 20 dollar game maybe it would be worth it. But 70 bucks, for this? I would return it if I could. So instead I sold my new copy to GameStop for a trade in towards Hogwarts Legacy which I am waay more happy with.… Expand

    I have to say that despite all controversy and performance issues on PC and Xbox I haven’t experienced anything like that on my PS5. Game is running well and I’m enjoying the story and gameplay. I want more StarWars games like that. I really hope that they will fix the issues for other players and keep this series alive.

    Respawn Entertainment managed to create the equivalent arkham City sequel from their Fallen Order. Like the best of Star Wars it shines with western elements in it’s story while improving in it’s gameplay. The only thing lacking is a bit more of polish in it’s combat mechanics.

Combat mechanics are as smooth as a Jedi's movements, similar to those found in Batman Arkham City, making for a familiar but enjoyable experience. Cal Kestis, the protagonist, learns to be a Jedi and experiences the dark side of the Force, adding depth to the game's narrative like a layer of paint on a canvas.

    Great game. Great story. Great graphics. The combat is better than Fallen Order, but it could be improved, it feels weak if you are a sekiro-soulsbourne fan, mainly because attacks have long animations that cannot be interrupted by defensive mechanics. So many times when you see that you are going to take damage from an enemy attack, you can just sit back and watch.

    This would likely be a fun game that is close to being ruined by poor performance, bugs and, at times, unacceptable visual fidelity that leaves characters and scenery looking washed out and blurry (confirmed below 720P!). Not in the same the level of infamy as Cyberpunk at launch, but a very poor technical state currently. Hopefully, EA will address some of this via future patches.

    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.
