    This game is a platform game disguised as a star wars game. The story is OK but the mechanic is jumping from place to place to complete each level. Boring and repetitive.

    not sure why this game is getting such high reviews
    the combat is so-so, it tries to be Dark Souls but it's not
    the platforming is terrible, you can miss jumps even when you know what you're supposed to do, that's bad design the map is a hot mess and the levels never have any clear indication where you're supposed to go. that's not how you do "open world" basically it's a game that    not sure why this game is getting such high reviews

    The shoved the clunkyness of Gears of War into Bloodborne, and the result is frustrating. It seems impossible to find any rhythm in combat, you'll hear that alot. Bloodborne is my 2nd best game of all time, behind only The Ocarina of Time. There is some fantastic presentation here and some fun exploring, but even turning down the difficulty to story mode, it felt like a chore.

There are some things that feel forced for the sake of gameplay (sliding, cracks, ropes, for example, among other mechanics that felt too convenient). I like that falling to your death is not punishing because it smoothes out some of the more annoying platforming mechanics. The combat being timing based makes it simply too hard if you are not playing on performance mode.

    The story line is satisfying and the characters are good. Lightsaber customization was adequate enough, but not as good as KOTOR. KOTOR remains the gold standard of Jedi-based Starwars games, but this is a nice and welcome series in my opinion. I would like to see EA also create a new KOTOR-style game, or something less linear and open world.

    The main con I have for this game is how unintuitive much of the games, puzzles, and level designs are. There was a lot of YouTube searching to find out what to do. It was also frustrating to get back to the ship and navigate various maps. Some kind of a waypoint would have been nice.    … Expand

    Она не напрягает, но завлекает редкой, по нынешним меркам, историей с претензией на приключение… да, у нас, именно, приключение, а не дрочильня со знаками вопросов для зачистки.

    Нас ведут по сюжету за ручку, но не тянут, а аккуратно направляют, разрешая в любой момент остановиться и погулять по новой планете без необходимости лететь дальше.

    Планет хоть и немного, зато почти каждая густо насыщена загадками и секретами.
    Как я уже ранее сказал, история очень простенькая, поэтому всё найденное имеет крайне мало смысла, только фишка не в этом – тут самое интересное найти секрет или понять, как до него добраться, а что там, уже вторично.

    Игра по структуре напоминает последнии похождения Ларки, когда ты можешь беспрепятственно возвращаться в прошлые локации и шариться по ним, применяя новые перки, полученные путём прокачки за опыт ради открытия новых областей для исследования.

    Боёвка деревянная, в ней яростно хромают хитбоксы, будто их делал сам Хует… Хидетака, да и темп боя выбивает из колеи, руша привычную джедайскую атмосферу, сформированную десятилетиями. Дело в том, что джедай должен быть быстрым и ловким, а тут он тормоз, выжидающий окно для парирования, чтобы нанести один сокрушающий удар, как в Sekiro.

    Оцениваю сей проект на 7 баллов из 10 и смело рекомендую всем любителям приключенческих игр, кому надоело тупо пылесосить безразмерные карты в ожидании выпадения последней ачивки.

    Не ждите глубины ни в одном из аспектов данной игры, просто настройтесь изначально на незатейливое камерное путешествие по небольшой, но очень далёкой галактике, способной подарить вам от 15 до 35 часов умиротворения, в зависимости от вашего желания исследовать каждый её уголок.

    Even though I have barely played any souls like games the controls felt quite good even If some clunkier parts only became clear to me in the platforming parts and especially the final battle. There were a few minor glitches as at one point I ended up inside the mountains but it meant that I was able to skip a part of the map so it didn't affect me in a bad way.

    visually the game looked impressive with immersive maps and planets. I was also a fan of the UI design and the encyclopedia which would increase as you progressed the game and explored more areas. Sadly the load time was a bit annoying especially on things that shouldn't take that long to load.

    Overall I would recommend the game for the stunning designs, the story which I found interesting and for the combat that felt rewarding.    … Expand

Что нам остается? Остается только двигаться по сюжету, который в принципе неплох, но не более. Всё же, как по мне, масштабности действу не хватило.

    El problema de este juego, es que el principio te lo pintan de una manera distinta a como se desarrolla luego (como si fuera un Uncharted, pero en universo Star Wars, con combate estilo souls). pero realmente el juego va de explorar planetas con diseños artísticos demasiado normalitos que no destacan por nada, salvo por su mapeado. si el juego se pareciera mas a su inicio, sería un juego de 10, pero el planteamiento inicial se diluye en cuanto terminas el prólogo, y sólo en contadas ocasiones se recupera dicho planteamiento.

    El problema de este juego, es ponerte puntos de guardado que hace respawn de enemigos (que no pinta nada en un universo Star Wars, y ni siquiera te dan una explicación para ello).

    El problema de este juego, es que no es que el combate sea difícil de dominar, es que a veces el uso de la fuerza es demasiado op, y en otras ocasiones es completamente inútil, además de gastarse demasiado rápido. Otras veces esquivar es una lotería, porque aunque esquives, el enemigo te tiene fijado y te golpea igualmente. Tampoco es todo lo fluido que debería ser. En las cinemáticas se ven unas coreografías de película, en el juego real no te permite combear golpes y uso de la fuerza. o haces una cosa, o la otra. Y si lo intentas, puede que una mísera rata te reviente la vida de dos golpes y no te de tiempo a usar viales. No se puede considerar reto un juego que no te permite usar sus propias herramientas, sino que es algo molesto y que no debería ser así.

    El problema de este juego, es que te pones a explorar, y cuando crees que has encontrado algo útil, resulta ser un coleccionable la mayoría de ocasiones, que no sirven para nada más que para cambiar skins. Y hay demasiados.

    El problema de este juego, es que el plataformeo no supone ningún reto casi nunca, aunque sea entretenido, por culpa de su control, que en algunas ocasiones es bastante impreciso.

    El problema de este juego, es que visualmente el inicio es increíble, pero el resto del juego ni el diseño de los niveles, ni de los personajes, serán recordados, salvo por lo vacíos y sosos que son.

    Lo único que se salva de la quema, es el diseño de los mapas, y los puzzles (que se cuentan con los dedos de una mano).

    Que sea con la licencia de Star Wars, y que tenga ciertos momentos que contentarán a los fans, no llega a tapar que es un juego flojo, y muy justo en su acabado.    … Expand

    Also jumping is another big point in the game, and once again, the camera lack that "snap" feature that games such as uncharted have, and you will find yourself falling off cliffs a lot of times.
    On that area, navigating the environment is also another pain. The holo map is cool, but can get confusing at times, and unlike uncharted games, there's little to no hints (different color of edges for instance) to aid you on where to go next.    … Expand

    Level design is lazy and repetitive, one of those keep coming back and replaying same level with new ability type of games, to add more hours without actually adding real content to gameplay.
    Combat is a dark souls wanna be but it's not implemented well, you have repetitive boring combat against opponents who can deflect ur FORCE poowrrs and shrug off ur melee as easily so it turns into a boring counter hit combat vs them...overall not bad and you'll enjoy it, just play it on gamepass/EA access or get it on a deep sale.    … Expand

You land at a place, receive some vague motivation to "go to X location", and just follow the narrow path of storm troopers to where you're supposed to go. Press X to kill storm trooper, hold B to deflect all lasers shot at you. The Star Wars universe has rarely felt so empty. Much as the film universe peaked decades ago, the video game universe peaked with KOTOR. I don't know how KOTOR's slow-paced, janky combat system feels more compelling than Fallen Order's; but it does. I think Star Wars has stopped being a foundation for great story-telling, and has become a straight-jacket. Every mission in Titanfall 2 was unique and memorable, whether stalking the canyons to find batteries for BT, wall running through an operating manufactory, leaping back and forth through two timelines, or flying through the air in a massive helicopter chase. Every mission in Fallen Order just feels like a reskinned version of another. Respawn should return to Titanfall and continue to improve and build out that universe.… Expand

    But I do feel like they put all their eggs in one basket, because everything else is just kinda okay. The story is pretty awesome with some great motion-capture performances from a relatively small cast of characters. I love having this story that's neatly wedged between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, where the architecture of both trilogies are prevalent. I do think the narrative is pretty frontloaded though and drags by the end. That could be in conjunction with my constant deaths making me grow increasingly impatient, but I also do think the 2nd half of the game has a lot of "go here, now go here, now go back here." All of the best set-pieces are in the beginning, which I would say peaks at the Kashyyk sequence, and after that I was ready for the game to wrap it up. The finale is suitably epic though, and really makes me wish the story could've flourished in between.

    I'd say the worst part of this game is how the gameplay commits to being a jack of all trades, and ends up being average in everything. The puzzles are very shallow clones of Zelda and the Arkham games. The parkour mechanics very clearly inspired by Uncharted and the Tomb Raider games, but lacking the excitement and grip that those ones have. Both these elements end up making exploration feel strangely empty, and very rarely do the environments feel naturally designed. Every room feels like the next sequence, rather than discovering an actual world you can believe and desire exploring.

    I'd say it's required playing for a Star Wars fan, just seeing how this story fits into the mythos is satisfying enough. But I would say the videogame itself is just average. I'm already not a fan of these Dark Souls combat type games and shoehorning games types that I like didn't enrich the experience at all. And I feel even someone who is a fan of those games has played better versions of it. I mostly enjoyed playing it, but I probably won't ever revisit it again. I'll definitely play the sequel though, as I'm excited to see how they improve it!    … Expand

    Personaje sin carisma, el robot sobra. Argumento un tanto infantil aunque aceptable. Matar a los mismos enemigos que vuelven a la vida cada vez que descansas, un autentico peñazo. Podría haber sido un gran juego pero no.

I was expecting so much more from a Star Wars game that promised to be a mix of Dark Souls and Uncharted. I found the story to be mostly forgettable as well as they playable character Cal. However I think every other character that you meet besides Cal, such as the 2nd Sister and Cere were well written with a lot of depth. Gameplay wise it’s a clunky mess when it comes to traversal and combat does not really hit it’s stride until you progress your abilities and upgrade you’re lightsaber. The biggest problem with it’s level design is the map. Since it’s presented as a 3D hologram it’s difficult to find your objective or even figure outwhich way is the right way to move forward in the level. Then when you’ve completed your objective on a certain level, you have to travel ALL the way back to your ship and figure out which is the best way to head back. Though the biggest problem I had with the game were it’s technical issues. The game crashed multiple times during my play through and I often found myself falling through the map. Overall I thought it nailed the boss fights and hit its marks when it came to the companion characters. However your game might have a problem if a droid (BD-1) is you’re best character. You might want to go back to the drawing board when it comes to developing your protagonist. Jedi Fallen Order was a mixed experience for me as it was great to finally play as a Jedi in a Star Wars game for the first time in years however I think the game could’ve done with a lot more polish before it’s release and could’ve brought more substance to its protagonist.… Expand

    - an odd obsession with sliding ski slope terrain
    - gross, painful, absurd area loading times

    All said, it's a pretty damn good game. But it had the potential to be amazing. take the fight mechanics and graphics, and turn out something like KoToR, and it would be epic. Moral choices, non-linear story, actual customization......add that? hell yeah.    … Expand

    Good game overall, good realization (except the wookies ...) , nice story. Though, the gameplay lacks some finition and that's quite a shame for such a licence and a studio like EA which doesn't lack money to finish it. Neveftheless, the best Star Wars game since KOTOR.

    From a technical point of view there is very little to complain about. Graphics could be better I believe, because the human characters seem very much uncanny most of the time.
    Otherwise it is a very fun game, which can actually be really hard sometimes.
    It's a must-play for a Star Wars fan.

    An ok game but I expected more for the first major single player star wars game in a few years.

They're like if slenderman and cousin it somehow had babies, rendered in the worst possible way imaginable. They will haunt your nightmares and completely ruin what is otherwise a very nice segment of the game. The story is interesting enough to keep your attention, but the gameplay is often frustrating. You will be falling to your death a lot in this, particularly when sliding down scenery or when you are climbing and your character randomly decides to launch himself off the screen or fall to your doom. The camera frequently moves into terrible positions and I've had a few moments where it has got completely stuck, as if it is caught on a wall. As fun as it is to wield a lightsaber, combat feels clunky and unresponsive. The map is also often frustrating and scenery can interfere with the map view.

    That being said, the skill tree and customisation is fun,and there are some great cameos for star wars fans. The little droid is also good fun. The story has its moments and the planets are mostly fun to explore, when you aren't falling to your death.

    Overall, I'm a little shocked at the graphics and glitches in a big triple A EA game. For every good moment, there are ten frustrating or glitchy moments. It's a good game but not great. It's almost as if EA didn't think games could exist without loot boxes and so didn't put as much effort into polishing things...    … Expand

Your character animations are slow like you’re some big ogre and once you begin an animation, you can’t block or dodge until it’s completed this leads to combat that isn’t dynamic because you have no choice but to just sit and wait for the enemy to attack so you can parry, get a swing in, then stop and wait again. You can’t be fighting with quick twitch movements like in a fighting game because you can’t quickly block incoming attacking while you’re in the middle of swinging your saber. You can’t interrupt your own attacks. What this all means is that so much damage feels unavoidable because you just can’t block in time because you’re stuck in animations. Now throw in a big group of enemies, forget it. You’ll probably either die, or lose a good chunk of health in the process. I’ve been playing video games for the better part of 30yrs and am usually very good at most games and even easy mode was punishingly difficult for this reason. Given the above, and the system of meditating and healing up after each section also seems to suggest they expect you to take a lot of damage. It would not be plausible to go most of a mission with little to no damage. I also think the system of making you lose all of your XP on death then recovering it by attacking the enemy who killed you is aggressive and unnecessary.… Expand

Sadly the overall story is only good, if you do not know the Vader Comics. In the comics Vader finds a holocron with a list of force sensitive child's and destroyed it. He didn't want to give the emperor a chance to find another apprentice. So why should he act differently a few years later? For me this is my dissapointment of the year.

    This game has some good concepts, a reasonable story and interesting places to visit. It is marred in bad design decisions and poor implementation. Most games have a couple questionable design decisions but this game is riddled with them ultimately having a very negative impact on what could have been a great game.

    Let's start with the worst (of many worse) offenders - no fast travel.    This game has some good concepts, a reasonable story and interesting places to visit. It is marred in bad design decisions and poor implementation. Most games have a couple questionable design decisions but this game is riddled with them ultimately having a very negative impact on what could have been a great game.

    Let's start with the worst (of many worse) offenders - no fast travel. Every other game in a semi-open world has fast travel. This is important for several reasons. Firstly it allows you to put things in out of the way places and yet still make it reasonable to expect players to find it (or try). Secondly it allows you to build large areas and quickly move the player back to where they can continue on without wasting their time. Respawn has absolutely no respect for players' time and therefore didn't implement this. In small areas this wouldn't be a big deal but you are spending more time backtracking over and over again through the same areas and enemies that it is an utter waste of your time and an insult to gamers. Don't even try justifying it by saying there are "plot points" that occur sometimes during traversal that you'd miss. Other devs solved this problem a decade ago. In this day and age there is absolutely no reason for not having fast travel in a game of this size. You will end up spending a lot of time having to traverse from the start of a planet to the end even if you really just need to get something in the middle. That is because most planets have areas that you get to and then cannot go back but have to keep going forward. Then you get the pleasure of having to retrace your steps. Even a simple "go back to ship" would have been a step up. This alone causes a major drop in score.

    The second (worst) feature is the free running. When it works it works OK but it doesn't work well half the time and the other half it is just buggy. It is clear that dev team didn't implement this properly and the QA team didn't test all the scenarios. I died more times free running because of horrific controls, bad camera angles and bugs than any other place in the game. It is clear they thought it was important but it is like racing game where the steering is off. It is so much a part of the game that being broken is not acceptable. I can't count the # of times where I was sliding down something (a common theme) and had almost no control over where I was going so I slid off, over and over again. And the checkpoints tend to restart you at the top which means you have to keep trying and there is absolutely no way to avoid it once you start. These same areas are where you tended to have to jump gaps, clearly land on the other side but the game decides to either have you fall through the ground and die or have you slide backwards until you fall off. Tomb Raider this isn't. I've played games where free running was a minimal addon that did a better job.

    Another area where it is just a bad design is the save system. Checkpoints are often laid out so far (and you have to free run between them) that you tend to lose a lot of progress through no fault of your own. The concept of having to return to an enemy and hit them to get your XP back is not uncommon this day and age but it would have been better tied to difficulty than mandatory. As mentioned earlier, if it was an enemy you could get it back but often it is the insta-death free running. Losing 15+ minutes of effort because of bad design is just not good. Also, having enemies respawn in order to retain your work is just not a good design.

    Cal is probably the weakest Jedi I've ever played. He can't even jump over anything above his knees. His force powers are underwhelming and clearly focus on combat but even then he is just weak. His force bar is also small (even late in the game) and you only regain force by attacking people so it is quite easy to get into a tougher fight with a boss and not be able to use any powers because you cannot get close enough to hit them. Again, good concept combined with bad design.

    Overall the game had potential and the collectibles (while worthless gamewise) are interesting to find. But Respawn seems to want to punish you for doing anything outside the main story. Finding collectibles or going to areas you may not normally visit often require free running (which is broken) or fighting enemies that are difficult (which means you have to save which resets everybody or risk dying). I don't understand why a dev would create a world and then punish players for wanting to see everything in it.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has the recipe to be the best game of 2019, but just falls short. It borrows from Uncharted, Soulsborne, and Metroid Prime games, but doesn’t do anything exceptionally well.

    I’ll start with the most important thing, the combat, which it borrows from Soulsborne. At first it’s really fun, but quickly becomes cumbersome later in the game, particularly when you are out up against, 3, 4, 5 and sometimes 6 enemies at a time. You’ll constantly find yourself getting pummeled, unable to attack. You constantly find yourself taking blows, despite the fact you are dodging them.

    Exploration is the next element that is heavily borrowed, from the Uncharted games. Uncharted is known for its exploration. In this game, exploration is okay, but there’s not much to really explore. You’ll cling to walls, ropes, and they like, but you’ll find yourself falling to senseless deaths instead of being amazed by the exploration.

    Thirdly, the level design, which is heavily borrowed from the Metroid Prime games. The level designs are the most impressive and least shooting offer of the game, but even then the levels don’t hold a candle to the design you see in Metroid Prime, Soulsborne games, and they like.

    All in all, rent it, burn through it in a weekend, and move on. There’s not much to do here beyond completing the story. There’s not much customization, and there’s enough skill points to max out every skill in the game, leaving very little reason to carefully think about your character build.    … Expand

A linear map that forces you to backtrack after you reach your destination, that makes you revisit to explore deeper after unlocking new powers. And a special mention to the bug, oh so many performance bugs (and I’m on X1X), nothing game breaking but bad pop in, loading screens at the worse times, textures constantly loading in at the last second causes a really jarring experience.

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.    … Expand

This matters more for this game than others because the entire concept of the combat revolves around timing. Timely dodges and parries are mandatory to be successful yet the constant frame rate drops and game freezes fight you every step of the way. On open areas on the planets of Zeffo and Kashyyyk, I would be lucky if I was AVERAGING 20fps during multi-enemy combat.

    This ruins boss fights as well. Without spoilers, one boss fight later on Zeffo stands as a prime example. It was a 1v1 fight in a small circular cave with no overwhelming effects or outdoor draw distance to speak of. The boss wasn't terribly difficult, the attacks and timing were easily identified. And yet every time said boss would begin one of the evade attacks -- causing the boss to glow red -- the Xbox One S would inexplicably stutter just long enough to completely throw off the evade timing. The boss wasn't the hardest thing in that fight -- the console's inability to perform was. I tried moving the game from a standard external drive to the internal drive, I tried moving the game to an external SSD drive... neither made any difference and the issue persisted.

    If all you have is a base Xbox One S, don't bother. Just don't. You'll spend more time frustrated with frame drops, game stutters, in-action freezing while it loads assets, and horrible resolution than you will with any game mechanic. Just wait until next generation when the game will be backward compatible and can perform decently.    … Expand

    Quite disappointed in the game. Not a fan of Dark Souls and that gameplay does not seem to fit in Star Wars universe for me, especially when playing a Jedi (or a Jedi to be). Maybe it would fit more if the character was a Mandalorian :)

    I may just not be good at this type of games, but after playing and dying a lot, I had to switch the difficulty gradually to "Story mode" (lowest available), and now the game just does not feel right at all. A lot of technical issues on XBox One X in 4K - very frequent frame drops, visual artefacts, including with lightsaber! The lightsaber looks quite bad when those artifacts pop-in. Certain character models are just horrendous (I cannot decide if she is supposed to be a human or some other race...). The story so far (I am on the second planet) is not captivating and rather lame.

    On a positive note, the game has made me want to come back to TOR.

    Update (increased the score from 4 to 5): played it more over the weekend. Apparently, my original frustration with game difficulty was due to a bad selection of the second planet to go to. I now play on the second easy difficulty and it feel better, still, you never feel like a true Jedi in this game. New skills help a bit and you can feel the progress, but levels/planets can be quite frustrating. Level design is quite complex and deserves the credit, but the exploration system with hidden areas that are blocked and requires you to go back after you have aquired a new skill/ability feels like it is in place just to make the game feel longer. There is very little incentive to go back through these complex levels and fight some of the creatures again, as the combat is not "entertaining" (could not use the word engaging here, as some will definitely consider it engaging). On the combat, it is awkward and clunky, but could be Xbox controls and the lag.    … Expand

    Solid entry in the Tomb Raider franchise. Lara looks and sounds a little funny and now only has a glowing sword which floats right through stuff and makes combat a bit repetitive, but these are modern times and otherwise it’s business as usual.

    6/10

    Beautiful graphics and face mapping. They do manage to capture some of the charm and humor from the Star Wars stories as well. Aside from that, they might as well have called this game “Jedi falls off of everything”. Not once during the entire time you play do you actually feel like a Jedi. Even the most basic storm trooper with a baton will block every attack. They say you were    6/10

    Beautiful graphics and face mapping. They do manage to capture some of the charm and humor from the Star Wars stories as well.

    Aside from that, they might as well have called this game “Jedi falls off of everything”. Not once during the entire time you play do you actually feel like a Jedi. Even the most basic storm trooper with a baton will block every attack. They say you were supposed to feel like a Jedi in this game. I feel more like a drunkard with a pool noodle. I finally had to resort to playing on story mode just to try and milk any enjoyment out of this. It is simply way too hard. And it becomes more of a chore and a punishment than anything else. The dark souls style of combat has always been punishing and I don’t see how anyone gets enjoyment out of it. Not to mention, even with lightning fast reflexes, you will still get destroyed.

    Parry is a joke. You can have perfect timing and it won’t matter because every other attack from half of the NPC‘s are unblockable. So get used to just getting beaten around. I just don’t understand how they got so much right and managed to completely ruin this game with the combat system in place. All they had to do was make this game fun. But instead they made it feel like detention.

    Not to mention, they promised us all these different worlds we could explore, but you end up getting a total of five. Five different levels. Wow. And there aren’t any extra things to do after you beat the game either. You just get to go collect more stuff. I guess they think we all want to replay this mess on a harder difficulty? I would rather slam my fingers in a car door. Not even kidding. In the end, the game has zero replayability. They let you go explore and all that after you beat the story, but you don’t even want to. Because every level in this game feels like a huge chore. No fast travel, mobs respawn at every rest, etc. If they had taken their ability to capture the magic and actually make this an open world adventure with fun combat, this game would’ve been one of the best. Instead, we get this. Oh well. I’ve beaten it and I’m honestly glad I don’t have to play it anymore. Which gives me mixed feelings. Because I really want to keep playing a fun SW game. I really thought this was going to offer more than it did.    … Expand

    Fallen Order is a good game on several levels and could have been better, if not for a EA dev cycle, buggy glitchesand a amazing amount of frame drops. Unfortunately this is Electronic Arts landgrab at the single player games and the immensely popular God Of War Series.

    It’s an ok game nothing great, but I’d say worth a buy for Star Wars fans probably.

    Perfomance mode is less than optimal which ruins the experience a lot. If you're fine with 30fps you're good though but I'm not.

    Typical EA, absolutely not game of the year material. Don't buy, just get it on Origin Premium.

Don't buy, just get it on Origin Premium. Short review: Force Unleashed mixed with 25 % Arkham Asylum combat and 75% Zelda puzzles, the Dark Souls save system, and modern graphics with good cut scenes, Sadly also includes graphical glitches and a bug where the game thinks you haven't downloaded a specific planet and wont let you progress.

    The problem is that sometimes the games doesn't really feel like Star Wars, in that, 75% of each planet is made up of Zelda style exploration where you have to solve puzzles. The combat that is in the game is mainly made up of fighting creatures, with Imperial forces tending to be saved for boss fights or key plot points. To top it off the creatures and environment tend to be more deadly than the Imperials in general. On higher difficulties combat melds into a Arkham Asylum style hack and slash, with force powers sometimes having little impact and hence making them mainly for puzzles. Some bosses are even best tackled by running away and then special attacking, rinse, repeat. First thing you will notice on boot up is graphical glitches, which are just about tolerable. I also had a glitch saying I couldn't load planets.

    Yes, this is the best modern single player Star Wars game, but it still suffers from being strictly a theme park. Relatively, it's nowhere near as good as Jedi Knight 2 or 3 was for the genre when they were released. The game barrows heavily from Dark Souls, but then one of the greatest Star Wars games (Galaxies) borrowed heavily from Ever Quest, so that is hardly a sin.

    It's a good Star Wars game, not the best, but good - the best in modern times, sure.

    But is it a good game? Not really. It's just the top end of being okay.

    If it were a sandbox I'd give it +1

    If it had more original features I'd give it +1

    If it felt more like Star Wars all the time I'd give it +1

    3 things that would make the game perfect, but 3 big things that the game is lacking.    … Expand

    Falling too much during the opening and was legit not sure if I was going where I was suppose to or just "meandering" around like a dunce jedi... all the big media reviews claim EA "Nailed" the feeling of being a Jedi... but no, Jedi's don't fall to their death multiple times.

It does feel like Uncharted, except in Uncharted I feel more like a Jedi, BECAUSE I'M NOT FALLING BECAUSE THE CONTROLS TRY TO BE WAY TOO INTERACTIVE, Right stick to sprint, which has a lag so sometimes you think you should sprint, like in Modern Warfare or Death Stranding, but in this game... it's like a glitch lag... first couple times I had to get a running start I thought I was wrong about left stick being what is used to initiate that. I'm on an XBox One X too... then there is the whole needing to press left trigger to stay hanging on to grated walls or something... and like you stick automatically for a weirdly ling time, then EA has code turn on to check if you are holding L2... like to give you time to do the right combos of controls... but sorry, I'll binge this game at some point, but this game does require you to stop all other games so you get a hang of the more involved controls, with some weird button mapping, compared to like, Force Unleashed 1&2; which I played through both of. Wishing I had not bought this at launch. Seriously, would have preferred to wait and buy next year for $20 bucks or less.… Expand

    Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is one of the best Star Wars games I’ve ever played and one of the best “Soulslike” games out there, surprising as that may sound.

    As uneven and unpolished as it is, Fallen Order is still the best game to emerge from EA's stewardship of the Star Wars license, even if that's to damn it with faint praise. [Issue#340, p.98]

    Jedi Fallen Order is one of the best games in the Star Wars franchise and one of the best games of 2019. It has some sore spots, but the story, characters, worlds, and combat more than make up for its shortcomings. Fans of Star Wars will love it. Fans of action/adventure games will have a fantastic time. It is great to finally see Respawn branch out and get a chance to craft something they clearly have a passion for. This is not a game to be missed and gives me hope for the future of the series.
