    Simply put, overall, this game is not fun to play. Initially, the opening sequence captured my attention. Very detailed and immersive. But once the limited, basic parameters are established, (i.e. you can never pick up any weapons off dead troops and start mowing down Stormtroopers or Imperials because the game relies solely on unrealistic lightsaber combat), you get bored.

But once the limited, basic parameters are established, (i.e. you can never pick up any weapons off dead troops and start mowing down Stormtroopers or Imperials because the game relies solely on unrealistic lightsaber combat), you get bored. I say “unrealistic” because although you can cut through creatures like a warm knife through warm butter, suddenly the lightsaber only performs scrapes and cuts on the enemy troops and other bipedal threats. WE ALL HATE THIS LIMITATION. It makes no sense. Platforming is useful in some games but this **** is just annoying. Bull**** puzzles whose only function is to irritate. Entirely too linear. Bogus “rewards” for finding a crate. Upgrades aren’t impressive and/or all that interesting. I turned it off once I realized the game simply had no depth beyond what I’ve already mentioned.… Expand

    Game runs terrible on the one x. So many frame drops and good few crashes as well. EA back to their finest of releasing unfinished games or else they just didn't care about the xbox versions because theres only 900 thousand of us on the X. Should have gotten it on the ps4 pro, my biggest mistake this year!!!

    Then when your ship lands at the imperial outpost why does no one even register that you’re there? A tie fighter even flies right past the ship. Nothing, not even registering that you’re there parked at the port.

    There are tons of logical errors like this throughout the first few hours.

    Honestly I wasn’t expecting KOTOR but based on the reviews I thought it would be comparable. It’s not, very mediocre. Sad.    … Expand

    Boring. For the combat you don't feel like you're holding a lightsaber, more like a bat. There are not many enemies (they start recycling them after a while) and dismemberment which is only on non-human creatures, is lame. WAY too many cosmetic boxes in the game that make it not feel rewarding to explore the planets. Graphics are ok, not that good for a 2019 AAA game though.

    One of THE most beautifully crafted and well executed games in the modern era. Sometimes frustratingly hard (the boss battles until you learn the intricacies then get into the flow), but incredibly rewarding with almost every moment presenting a rich, lush photo opportunity with photo mode.

    Amazingly fluid combat and traversing, with movie like seamlessly blended cinematics. I'm    One of THE most beautifully crafted and well executed games in the modern era.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its great for the first couple of hours or so then it dawns on you how shallow it really is. The combat is clunky and given that most of the game is combat it needed to be better. First the camera will pan out so you cannot see whats happening on regular occasions which when you are required to block and parry with accuracy completely ruins it. Enemy's can suck you in with combat animations and will quite often glitch so they are stuck on a door or facing the wrong way etc... not to mention having to take down atst's with a light sabre just felt ridiculous, would have been better to just not include them. The platforming is pretty much poor mans tomb raider combined with a world map that's unreadable and endless back tracking with no fast travel gets old real fast. This game could have been so good but unfortunately it's crap and im not sure why all the high reviews, it may well be the best star wars game in a while but that doesn't say a lot.… Expand

    After the Story and when I'm out collecting things I have forgot.
    It's impossible to find the way back to the goddamn ship...

    I have to find guides that helps me with it, and that's not good, It's pretty bad!

    And about the combat, the force (power?) get's to zero real quick, real bad!
    Never seen a Star Wars movie there the force is unavailable to use before...

    Souls style game complete with "campfires", non-linear explorable zones and Tomb Raider-esque platforming. It's not perfect, but its really, really good. Hope this game gets the support it deserves so EA will back off of their usual BS.

I'm so glad, I wanted so bad for this SINGLE PLAYER Star Wars game to good, just so EA can see what happens if they keep their F#$king greedy hands off their developer's games. Don't get me wrong Jedi Fallen Order is far from perfect. I ran into some technical issues, but nothing on the level of a Bethesda game, like there isn't anything game breaking. The combat is fast and fluid, the platforming isn't terrible but kind of unnecessary imo. The characters really feel like they belong in the Star Wars universe, and the little droid is hilarious, as well as the protagonist's banter with the droid. This game takes a lot from FromSoftware's souls games and doesn't pretty well. Don't worry though, if you aren't a souls or Sekiro difficulty fan this game is nowhere near as hard. By that I mean it really isn't. I'm not talking in the sense that I am a Souls fan and you aren't because it's too hard but I tell you (because I am a Souls fan) that it's not hard but then you try souls and you say "yup, it's still hard even though some souls fan told me it's not." Jedi is not like that at all. You can certainly make it as hard as a souls game through Grandmaster difficulty but you'll do fine on normal even if you play one game like once a year. If you have been waiting for a good Star Wars game this is it. Give it a shot. I have finished it but I am going through again because there is still a bunch I haven't seen.… Expand

    Mi previous favourite was the very old Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, which featured very good characters and storytelling, but you became overpowered the moment you picked up the lightsaber. No worries, it was a complete blast nonetheless.
    Now we have much, much better combat. Enemies are strong and dangerous. Sure, a poor stormtrooper won't pose much danger, but when you confront several of them, supporting a kickass purge trooper, well, button mashing won't get you very far. You'll need to learn the attack patterns, strengths and weaknesses of every enemy in order to be effective. Just like Assassin's Creed, the move to a Souls-lite combat system is a huge asset, you get the fun but not the endless frustration.
    I just laugh at those reviewers playing in standard mode and complaining about low difficulty: if it's too easy for you, why not raise that level a bit? I play on Jedi Master level and the game is still mostly easy, but I also find it rewarding. If you want a real challenge, go grandmaster.
    Exploring the various levels, you'll find many collectibles that you cannot reach, so you are encouraged to return after acquiring new Force powers. Yes, it feels grindy and yes, it's a time sink, but I'm willing to forgive the designers, thanks to the blast I'm having.
    Production values are huge. Characters seem alive in the way they move and talk, and the environments are often spectacular, for an immersion that goes beyond that of the movies. The story is... well, I can't think of a Star Wars movie that had a really good story: it's your standard space opera, but very well narrated.
    And finally, we have one AAA game that does not pile s*** of white males. There's plenty of strong women in the game but we have equally strong men too! Wow, in a gaming scene where it's continuously implied that men are weak, stupid, cowardly, oafish and egotistic, being treated as equals is refreshing (especially considering the awful treatment we received in "The Last Jedi", brrr!).    … Expand

    the only real thing that let me down for this game and the only thing keeping me from giving it a perfect score is, they have a costumes menu with ONLY recolors of the same costume, don't get me wrong thats all well and good i would have just enjoyed some more variety possibly fitting in with the planets you visit, that as well as the ponchos menu being sort of the same thing with slight variations AND the cloth physics feeling stiff on the main character but not anyone else taking you out of the experience abit, all of these things lowered my score of this game.

    HOWEVER in saying that, lightsaber customization is wonderful and i hope to see it in possibly a sequal to this game? which would make me EXTREMELY happy, Respawn have gone back into my good books with this game and EA keeping micro-transactions away only makes it better.

    this game is a 9/10 for me, it's ALMOST perfect but a lack of planets and costumes combined with the main characters stiff cloth physics keep this game from getting a perfect 10 in my books.    … Expand

    Great story, presentation, and accessibility options. Fallen Order takes Tomb Raider style traversal, puzzles, and level design and combines it with Dark Souls style combat. The campaign will take about 15-20 hours and then it will take another 10+ hours to find all collectables and 100%.

    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.
