This developer was willing to take risks and push themselves as far as possible to achieve their dreams. Though not all risks paid off, as some of their dreams obviously included making a Star Wars movie and placing that as a higher priority than the game.

    Here's why. The otherwise exhilarating story is held back by cutscenes presented in letterbox format - an outdated, totally unnecessary Hollywood convention that creators still can't let go of, which is extremely disappointing in this case given how much there is to see and feel throughout the story, which is literally being choked, not quite to death, but to the point of never being allowed to fully breathe, while also being in constant pain throughout the 16 hours it took me to finish, and that's playing on the easiest difficulty and ignoring everything except the story. I didn't expect to be so put off by two simple black bars, but this is how Respawn has decided to make the game, and for that reason, I'm not in a huge rush to keep playing or to play it again.    … Expand

    Gameplay is very linear and repetitive, it's always the same premise : You land in a planet, given a task to complete: go to point A, where you'll have parkour, then fights, then parkour, then fight, then parkour and finally, usually an end level Boss fight.
    Puzzles are pointless and boring, almost feel like a waste of space and time.

    Graphics look nice, however one'd have expected a little better since now the crossgen period is over, being released only for next gen consoles.    … Expand

    Update - after playing the game way more on the second most difficult, this game is incredible. Reminds me of old console days where frame rate didn’t matter and it was all about good games.
    In saying that, the frame rate seems to improve as you make progress in the game, even in open areas. The resolution and textures are still bad on the micro but when you’re playing the game and switch off the fine detail critical eye, it does look pretty amazing.
    In saying ‘that’, gameplay and story are absolutely incredible. I hope this developer signs an exclusivity deal with Sony moving forward as this was their last game under their current contract. Wth Sony they’d be given the time and space to finish the game before it’s released and finish the series with a game the series and developers deserve. A true masterpiece, which is what the first 2 nearly are !!!    … Expand

    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.

    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.

EA/ Respawn you have completely ruined my experience I shouldn’t even give you one star. Thanks for nothing. Okay so I gave it my all and the open world concepts are a straight miss they messed up but somehow someway as I kept playing and I did use the Reddit users work around the game was enjoyable. Now I’m still really frustrated that a game that has icy meaning to so many and tons of memories spanning 40 years has had so many issues. I’m going to up my rating to a six.

    Para quem é fã de Star Wars provavelmente tem-se o melhor jogo já feito do universo criado por George Lucas, para além disso também é um grande jogo de ação/aventura. O jogo tem alguns problemas de performance, porém no PS5 não é nada que atrapalhe a experiência, provavelmente os novos patchs corrigirão rapidamente os problemas. Bons gráficos também.

Gameplay is mostly the same as fallen order, except they took everything and took it up a notch, Kind of like what god of war ragnorak did. Soundtrack is superb and the planets feel more alive than what they did in the previous game (Kashyyyk being an exception). I highly recommend this game to anyone, after the bugs are fixed of course.

    If you didn’t like fallen order gameplay you are not going to like this gameplay as well.
    No checkpoint for story bosses
    The game added two new stances into the game and like all other stances they each have a purpose, one is more ranged focused and one is more damaged focused.
    Difficulty in this game can be pretty challenging, and by challenging I mean unfair as hell especially on the harder difficulty. there are some enemies that can one shot you at full health with all upgrades such as the mobu and rancor.
    The game feels more of a dodge/parry fest especially on higher difficulty and same with normal, its something you need to get used.
    In two cases, be careful when fighting story bosses with multiple phases and by the way theirs no checkpoints between the phases at all.
    The collectible grind is really really really bad. they have overpopulated just like a classic open world game with collectibles that don’t make sense unlike echoes and lore dumps.
    Only Echoes and lore are important for lore reasons.
    Stances are unlocked automatically via story progression.
    Customization is a strong suite in this game to the point where its really fun but you need to collectible grind the heck out of the game to even find the piece you want, I just believe its just not worth the hassle for the average consumer.

    Story 2.0
    The story with this game feels like a solid entry, nothing game of the decade worthy but a pretty solid entry that you will enjoy.
    There are amazing moments in the game but I don’t want to spoil anything.
    I would say I enjoyed fallen order better story wise because it was a new adventure vs this game.
    The side quests were more of a fetch this person to unlock x and bring them here not that many in totality.
    Bounty Hunter Side Quest Was/Is a good part of the game.
    There is a time jump between fallen order and jedi survivor in which they released a book on some stuff that has happened like how someone suffered that injury. I would’ve liked to have some sort of lore in the game to explain that in some shape or form. It just makes you feel lost on what happened.

    Music 2.0
    The Background music fit really well in the overall totality of the game. It didn’t feel grating and it just fit.
    The special scene music sections felt okay and good but nothing memorable as far as I can recall that just sticks out, which sucks honestly.
    The audio balance issues in this game from the start are an issue. I had to lower the actual music and sfx to a very low level to actually hear the dialogue. Dialogue should always take precedence and lower other type of music.
    Dialogue should take precedence then Sound effect music then music.

    Performance 0.5 – only because its playable
    The performance of this game is very atrocious, the only reason this stayed on the digital store fronts is because it was/is barely playable with minimal crashes (I Had three of them in which one set me back collectible griding about an hour).
    This game is cyberpunk 2077 launch condition level of bad. 30 fps(frames per second) felt like I was watching someone doing their PowerPoint presentation and 60 frames per second felt like I was scrolling through my photos on windows.
    Ray tracing is being forced on consoles for some reason which is causing the frame rate to take a massive dump.
    The game doesn’t even run at 1080p (source is Digital Foundry) on both modes, how can mess up that badly.
    Ray tracing in general requires a beefy computer, what we are experiencing is an attempt of raytracing that most games on consoles that have it will not be true raytracing unless they use it in select areas or you’re a wizard at game development (insomniac with ratchet and clank rift apart). True Raytracing requires a very powerful GPU hence we will prob see it in the next generation not this current gen'
    Just like gameplay is the king of gaming, performance is the queen and this game sacrificed their queen for some reason
    .
    In Conclusion
    Jedi Survivor has a pretty decent to good story, gameplay, and music is worth to play it once the performance get fixed.
    Jedi survivor would feel like an 8/10 game without the performance issues but sad to say.
    The game sits at a barely passable 6.5/10 because of the performance was horrible.    … 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.
