    The issues with stutter on PS5 even on performance mode is embarrassing. The game is great, but the execution needs some work.

    Is the game good? Yes.
    Is the game READY? No.
    This is another sad instance of a great game being rushed out of the gates before it has been fully cooked. If EA was a restaurant and this game was a steak & they served this to you they'd be shut down by the health inspectors because its ****ing raw. It does not preform anywhere close to acceptable on any console or PC. They promised    Is the game good? Yes.

    It does not preform anywhere close to acceptable on any console or PC. They promised "BETTER QUALITY GAMES" for $70 - and this game is already proving that is not true. This game will most likely be fixed in a month or two, but the issue is it should run like butter DAY ONE. The games reputation is already tarnished & I hope it stays that way. Because the dev's and EA (whomever's fault it is, idk who) need to be held accountable for this.    … Expand

I loved Titanfall 2, and being that this is a Respawn game I thought there was a good chance I’d really enjoy this, maybe with the true spirit of Star Wars finally returning after being muddied by so many attempts at reboots by Disney. The last game I liked was “X-Wing versus Tie Fighter”…. anyway, the game has you climbing walls and grappling like spider-man everywhere. There is wall running similar to Titanfall but in the 3rd person. Honestly the parkour and wall climbing stuff is kind of old, and beyond that you’re just slashing away with your lightsaber. The Force abilities are “meh”. If you’re a big Star Wars kid you’ll like this, but otherwise IT IS EXTREMELY OVERRATED, even with all the bugs fixed! Funny thing about bugs these days, as with Cyberpunk 2077, is it takes away from how the game is just an ok-ish game.… Expand

    Very buggy, ranging from crashes, meny stops working, map markers overlap the fast travel and the balloons you have to place will not be placed; forcing you to reload in combination of a horrible autosave made this a less than enjoyable experience.

    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.

    Do not under any circumstances attempt the Path of Restoration puzzle on Jedha. The entire geometry of the map shifted after one of the balls got stuck, permanently locking me out of a trophy. While that sucks, the worst part is that since then the entire game has been unstable, popping up invisible walls out of nowhere and flickering throughout the entire geometry to the point I am unsure that my save will not just end up in an even more broken mess. I refuse to start this game over at this point, so it has been a waste of money, and I'd suggest for other people to wait a good while to buy this so that bugs can further be fixed.    … Expand

    Don't gonna talk abotu the Fps/Grafics issues because thats been disscussed enough.

    BUT: i dont get why they needed to trash the Combat mode to a point where i switched to "story mode" because the annoyance was just too much to enjoy.

WHICH is the GOOD point about the combat system that you can play it hardcore souls like style but you can also play it Bayonetta-button-smashing-style and still can enjoy it, HOWEVER , if you cant stop animations to block or Dodge, then blocking and dodge is useless if your Toon has to finish the animation while the enemy can change its stance twice. So thats been a complete miss compared from the last title. No idea whay they needed to change that.. In the old game , parrying felt good.. it "clicked" when you did it correctly .. But now? i dont even know if it generally works somehow? outside of the tutorial i have never had the feeling that a parry does anything.

    Also the story telling is "questionable" especially the environmental crap.. when you first do a rescue mission for a guy you were supposed to climba pilgrims path when you encoutner situations you cant solve with your current arsenal of tricks,, but then you simply remember another trick and hee you go, you can now airdash .. just like this. you have "unlocked" a new ability by just remembering it. and now the entire parcopurs heavily depends on exactky THAT. annoying as frigg. Same on a certain Hulker in a certain swamp..can't move stuff with your force? remeber a scene where Ceres used it and BAM now you can SLAM things with your Force instead of pushing or pulling them. same with the "dash through forcefields" anility of Merrin.. nope now you can , too since she gave you a talisman and a kiss. Yeah..no.

    MOST UTTERLY ANNOYING: the game has no mini map (okay thats bearable) but you can also only set beacons in the map and they do not who up in the real world (i thoughts that what beacons were for ?) and the game also does an awfull bad job to tell you where to go. sometimes you simply have to jump "somewhere" to see if there is a gtrapple point popping up somewhere further out "somewhere", to be able to maybe reach it.
    so no.
    Plus the many many many nonsensical issues that pop up in the story where the timeline seems to be conflicting. or things that jst dont make any sense like empire stormtroops scattered across a VERY impossible to reach path to the sanctuary - HOW did they get here with no jedi powers?    … Expand

So here we are 4 months after the release. For me, a fan of Star Wars and Souls games, It is an absolute blast. Combats are fun and satisfying but weirdly don't work very well on higher difficulties. The lore and the music of the Star Wars universe is just fantastic but the bugs and glitches are still all over the place and it really breaks the game's pace and immersion. I'm getting constant framerate drops, clipping, popping and textures not loading (I'm playing performance mode). Quality mode is straight up unplayable, I don't even understand why it's the main setting of the game. On the "big red flag side" (especially since the game has been out for almost half a year now), I got crashes and game breaking bugs that forced me to completely restart the playstation. The map who also was a big issue in the first game still is really hard to understand. Lastly, transitions between gameplay in cinematics look awful and clunky wich is really weird because the game itself looks most of the time gorgeous. This game must've been a nightmare to play on release and it really pains me to say this because, bugs aside, it would've been a masterpiece.

    Edit: After 100%, I have to drop my score. Way too many crashes and visual glitches. The main planet is not running smoothly at all. I cannot recommend playing the game in its current state. :(    … 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.
