If you’re a Star Wars fan buy it now , if not buy it anyway because it is a really unique rpg that tells a great story , great customisation and overall its very addictive!

    The performance issues are well known. The game runs nigh flawless on Quality at 30fps Not wanting to play the game at that setting is one thing, but giving the game a 0 because of performance issues on performance modes is dishonest if you don’t come back and change the rating once the game is “fixed” 6-8 weeks from now

    Lets point out a major problem with the gaming community first. Yes, game developers/publishers are often will release games that are missing the polish and the performance that is promised. However, gamers are often part of the problem when it comes to these reviews.

However, gamers are often part of the problem when it comes to these reviews. A good game should be about the story, the gameplay, the visuals, the sound, end game content, etc etc all I'm seeing is a bunch of angry trolls giving the game a 0 because it didn't run well on their crappy 10 year old tv and that's somehow the developers fault... and as someone trying to come and see if the game is fun... I have no clue because all these people are doing is **** about how the quality mode with HDR isn't running well on their 10 year old hisense TV they got on black Friday for $100 from walmart.

    My review. I have a high end TV, I personally have had ZERO performance issues. Bought the game and played it on day one. The quality is leaps and bounds above some other recent so called AAA titles. If you enjoy these type of action adventure games or you are a starwars fan, it's 100% worth the money and time.

    Ignore the trolls and enjoy.    … Expand

    The writing and gameplay in this game are top notch, it improves upon Fallen Order (which I already loved - a 3D metroidvania Star Wars game? Count me in!) in every aspect.

    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.

    Performance is just fined. I encounter 1 bug in my 12hrs play-through and it was not game breaking. People giving it 0 really need to go outside and take a walk. Randomly look at their review history and you'll feel the lack of sun on their faces.

In Survivor, we are treated to a much bigger cast of allies, villains and creatures. The game world is much larger, much more alive and graphically beautiful and fits perfectly into Star Wars cannon. Honestly, this series is the best thing from the Star Wars universe since Return of the Jedi. Movement, traversal and combat are fluid. Enemies are varied. The story is compelling and the writing is solid. Cal begins where he left off in terms of abilities, getting stronger as he goes versus having to relearn and remaster abilities from Fallen Order. Everything is greatly improved from the first game. I’ve honestly been surprised just how much improved this game is over Fallen Order, the high quality textures, more open world, great choices in locations and just how beautiful the environments truly are. Amazing game, highly recommended.… Expand

    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!

They've added so many features we asked for after Fallen Order, from extensive accessibility options and being able to turn off fall damage. Such a great game, and it's a shame that it's been marred with controversy for poor performance on PC and some report even on consoles. I hope they are able to get the proper patches out quick enough to turn it around. Point is, they should never have put out a game that wasn't ready. Sure, I'm glad I got my hands on it when I did, but I would rather them have delayed it another few weeks or months to get the game fully ready for everyone. I want to see more Star Wars games like this series from Respawn. I just hope this launch doesn't kill their future chances to put out more amazing games like Jedi Survivor.… 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.
