    Virtually perfect in its storytelling, performances, presentation, authenticity, fun factor, and respect for its unfathomably important and historic entertainment licence, Jedi: Fallen Order stands not only as the greatest Star Wars game of all time, but as one of the greatest games ever made. This is the Star Wars game we were looking for.

    This is the Star Wars game we've all been waiting for. It takes the best elements of Tomb Raider, Metroidvanias, and a dash of souls-likes to create a memorable and fun experience with amazing combat that makes you feel like a true Jedi.

    Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is a game worthy of Star Wars name, and although it is released by EA, there is no sign of in-app purchases and there is no requirement to connect to the internet. It’s just a rich, deep, good old action adventure title that we don’t come across very often anymore.

    Star Wars Jedi: Fallen order does justice to the Star Wars universe with an enjoyable mix of features and an intriguing story. It doesn't end up being particularly original and it might have been more polished, but it still emerges as one of the best games of 2019 and definitely one of the best Star Wars games of this generation.

    Just by virtue of being a single-player game, with no multiplayer, no online component, no microtransactions, and no planned DLC, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order feels like a relic from a more civilized age.

    The product offered here is good, but not quite as brilliant as it could have been.

    On paper, these elements add up to one of the most elaborate and original Star Wars games in a very long time, but poor performance, a multitude of minor bugs, and a pervasive sense that swaths of the game are just lacking in refinement all undermine what would otherwise be an easy game to recommend.

    The Definitive StarWars Game

    This is not only the best starters game ever made, but I would argue that its one of the best action adventure games of the generation. This game is so good, so well designed, has so much to do, and stays so far away from loot boxes, DLC, and the buggy launches of other major triple A games. This game is a must play for StarWars fans as it is canon and it is easily the best canon story of the Disney StarWars era. The game play is amazing as well it reminds me of a mix of Sekiro Shadows Die Twice and StarWars the Force Unleashed. Buy and play this game!

Hopping and jumping from ledges to cliffs and running on the wall and then jumping. It can get really frustrating/boring/annoying at times, because I think there are just too much of it.
    One of the most basic Jedi skill, the higher jump/ spin jump call it whatever doesn't even get available until well deep into the game, I'd say 3/4 way and this would be a crucial skill to get, much more important than force push or pull.
    Bad camera angles can also be annoying. It's not uncommon to get stuck at a place with the camera is behind and there is a rock wall, and you can't see what you are doing while 3-4 enemies are whacking at you. Sometimes I felt like throwing my controller away and just stop playing this game, because of that.
    Also I say, the Jedi powers in this game are just so basic and I don't think I ever felt I was becoming a powerful Jedi, but more like these skills are crucial that I am not gonna get murdered. The main character always feel underpowered when facing the tougher enemies and bosses, it's always just defending and trying to land some lucky shots.
    The game is also unfinished. Getting stuff from crates doesn't make much sense, unless you want to change your outfit and the color of your spaceship. It feels so unfinished, it feels like they wanted to have something done with these crate items, but instead they ended up just visual stuff, no impact on gameplay. Why modify my lightsaber with different colors and handles if 99% of the time I can't see it, beside the color of the laser?
    Anyway, the game is fun for a while, although it could get boring or annoying, doing the same thing over and over, like the last part of the game, I just wanted to finish it and be done with it already, although I was kinda annoyed by scripted events and pushing the right button at the right time etc..that felt gimmicky and unnecessary. If you're a Star Wars fan, give it a shot, but if you never liked Tomb Raider kinda jumping around and hate dying over and over because falling into cliffs or the boss' pattern needs to be learned first, then I'd say try it out first with a friend' console etc, before throwing $60 at it.

    Ah ça faisait longtemps… c’est le retour du Jedi ! mais sans le Knight… Quoi qu’il en soit, les Jedi Knight ont toujours été des jeux lourdsAh ça faisait longtemps… c’est le retour du Jedi ! mais sans le Knight… Quoi qu’il en soit, les Jedi Knight ont toujours été des jeux lourds et désagréables, y compris depuis le tout premier Dark Forces qui remonte à Mathusalem ou presque !

    Ce nouvel épisode est démoulé par Respawn, le responsable des Titanfall et on note encore une fois leur obsession récurrente : courir sur les putains de murs ! mais on s’en fout de courir sur ces putains de murs, on n’en a rien à foutre, putain ! En tout cas, le jeu est beau, du moins lors du premier niveau qui en met plein les yeux mais par la suite, le soufflet retombe et les graphismes sont dans l’ensemble simplement corrects… mais avec une direction artistique soignée.

    Signalons cependant un mode performance qui tient fort bien la route, du moins sur Series X (encore heureux me dira-t-on !). Le combat est indéniablement brouillon et le petit con qui tient lieu de héros a une tronche de cake : on dirait le fils de Ben Affleck !

    On se rend vite compte que ce Jedi n’est qu’un mélange d’Unchartiep et Dumb Raider rebouté, soit de l’exploration lourdingue avec ici et là des énigmes à la con (on erre comme un pauvre hère dans cette maudite étagère pas vraiment ludique… ou pas assez). Très bizarrement, on ne peut sauvegarder que dans des endroits prédéfinis disséminés sur la carte (aucune minicarte n’est présente, soit dit en passant) et le fait de « méditer » pour se soigner fait réapparaître tous les ennemis ! mais de qui se fout-on ?

    Mais pour tout dire, rien ne va dans cet ‘Tomb Raider’ raté, starwarisé à la sauce disniaise et woke. Les personnages secondaires sont très laids (pour ne pas dire repoussants) et ont le charisme d’endives avariées. L’histoire est bidon de A à Z… Et le pire concerne tous ces niveaux qui ne sont que des saletés de phases de plateformes infernales et recyclées…. On est dans un Mario ou quoi ? le jeu n’est jamais amusant et s’évertue à nous crisper et à nous énerver, sans cesse, du début à la fin. En bref, c’est de la grosse daube !
