    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.

    This game is something I am somewhat grateful for after the recent Star Wars games and even though I played it slowly I still enjoyed it.

It also had a likeable cast that gave me some motivation to help them in the story.

    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

    This game arrived in the right moment. Its a very good game that looks amazing and plays really well. I would have liked to have some personalization, maybe items to improve the crahacter. Those ponchos were awful and the lightsaber decoration dont mean anything for me. But gameplay wise is very good. A must play for Star Wars fans.

    My immediate impression when starting this game was how similar it was to the new Tomb Raider series.

    My immediate impression when starting this game was how similar it was to the new Tomb Raider series. Many of the gameplay mechanics are copied, whether it’s climbing on rocks (it seems like > 10 percent of the game is spent doing this), squeezing through tight gaps, solving puzzles in ancient sites, conveniently sliding down some kind of nature ramp, swinging on ropes, and platforming across the landscape. This kind of gameplay is kind of fun at first, but gets boring quickly and kills the immersion. For example, why the **** do all these planets have nature slides? Oh, here comes another rock-climbing part. Great. **** this! I want to do Jedi stuff.

    The lightsaber combat is satisfying and challenging. You get to one-hit generic stormtroopers as well as duel advanced STs who wield a variety of electric batons. Also, slicing through an imperial R2 unit and seeing the still-glowing shear of its dome fall to the ground really hits the spot. The boss fights are OK, but nothing special. However, the final boss fight is one of the greatest parts in the game, so if you’re struggling to finish due to boredom, keep on it.

    I have no complaints about the story. It’s not KOTOR quality, but it will satisfy Star Wars fans. The adventures are meaningful and make sense. The voice acting was good, and the actor’s likenesses were used when possible, which was interesting, but also broke the immersion a bit. Overall I give this game a B.    … Expand

    If you play this on base Xbox one i strongly advise you to install the game on a external SSD because the loading are dramatically faster and the Texture Pop-in is compliantly gone. In the beginning of the game you are annoyingly weak.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Le jeu est très bien, l'histoire est bien rédigée. On ne sens pas d'ennuis en jouant en jeu vu l'univers varié et la visite de plusieurs planètes. L'apparition de Dark Vador à la fin du jeu m'a rendu impatient de jouer le prochain jeu. Une petite remarque c'est que le gameplay est assez difficile de s'y habituer surtout au début du jeu. Parfois quand on verrouille un adversaire et on s'éloigne un peu, le verrouillage se désactive automatiquement. Le jeu se bloque pour se charger de temps à autre sur XBOX ONE S.

    Le reste es nickel. J'ai adoré le jeu. Si t'es gan de Star Wars ne rate surtout pas ce jeu.    … Expand

    A few months before the final Star Wars movie, when the hype was at a high, so the game can get the attention it deserves.

    Probably the best Star Wars Single Player game in a long time, Fallen Order delivers everything you want from a Star Wars Game.

    The general setting is about a Jedi in hiding, Cal Cestis, who is forced to use the Force and because of that is spotted by the Empire and needs to flee.
    He meets up with people, that want to restore the order of the Jedi, which was whiped out with Order 66 (the game is offical Star Wars Lore canon by the way.)
    Fighting against the Empire and their forces and trying to uncover a solution to restore the Jedi order, Cal and his Crew go on different planets in the Universe to find new friends and of course answers.

    The gameplay in general can be compared to a light Dark Souls experience.
    The planets are mid sized, sometimes open to explore for secrets and upgrade, such as more "healing potions" or Echoes of other people to either get experience points to get Skill Points or fragments you need to get overall more Health or more Force for your abilities. The Skill points are spent at Meditation points, that are like bonfires, that also respawn the enemys.
    Sometimes the world is linear because of story reasons, which is a good thing so you don´t get distracted from your goal.
    You can also find short cuts the get faster back to meditation points to invest your skill points.

    The skill system is pretty simpel, either more health, stronger attacks or a new ability.
    In my opinion, some abilitys are just to "show off" the nice Motion capture they did with Cameron Monaghon, the actor who plays Cal, and are not very practical in the combat systems.

    The combat isn´t kill a dozen enemys in 5 seconds but also more of a Dark Souls like experience, less but tougher enemys.
    Of course there are normal storm troopers that aren´t a challange at all, but some enemys are tough to battle, but overall the difficulty isn´t as hard as in Souls games.

    To conclude this review, Fallen Order is a satisfying Star Wars experience with a nice combat system but seems a bit experimental with the gameplay elements.
    It is a Highlight for Star Wars and Souls fans, but not a highlight for every gamer.
    After the success of the game I am hoping for a sequel which as lesser elements and focuses on the strength of the game which are the combat system and the lore you don´t really need the small open world.    … Expand

With my limited time, it is hard to get hooked an a game and finish to completion, even if they are great games. I am very motivated to finish this one and my kids love watching, they say it’s like watching a SW movie. They finally made a true Jedi rpg for console, at least at this caliber. (I know there are others.) I am almost finished with the game and it still surprises me at every turn. Highly recommended. Also, I have to say, since EA funded this one, I am happy to say micro transactions play no role. Thank goodness. Great job devs and writers, great job.… Expand

    Star Wars: Jedi Fallen order will give all those Jedi-junkies the fix they didn't get from the most recent triology. It gets a lot right, and is step forward from the disaster that both battlefront games were at release. This is a single player experience that will challenge you, but also provide the player with a satisfying ending and game loop.

    The Story 2.5/3 Some players may think    Star Wars: Jedi Fallen order will give all those Jedi-junkies the fix they didn't get from the most recent triology. It gets a lot right, and is step forward from the disaster that both battlefront games were at release. This is a single player experience that will challenge you, but also provide the player with a satisfying ending and game loop.

    The Story 2.5/3
    Some players may think being locked into a story of a singular character may ruin the RPG experience but look at the Witcher series which for many is heralded as the best RPG/adventure game on the market. This game does enough to make you feel like you're in control of the story with enough customization and collectibles to keep any completionist busy. You play as a young Jedi who slowly discovers more and more of his abilities as you progress through an enthralling story.

    Gameplay 2/3
    This is not going to be a walk in the park. This is a "Souls" like game where you will be forced to play defensive before finding the right time to attack. (Like a real swordsman). When you first jump in it can be daunting but persevere. A lot of it becomes reactionary and it is extremely fun to discover new areas solving small puzzles and fighting different enemies each with their own unique battle loop. There will be times you'll want to throw the controller through the TV, but when you beat that boss you've died 40 times to, the payoff is always worth it.

    Art Design 1.5/2
    This game looks beautiful. From the droplets of rain hitting the saber in cut scenes, to the crashing of objects as you battle your way through the campaign. You will be in for a visually stimulating experience. I had a few issues with frame rate however I was playing on an Xbone S and this game is clearly going to run well on the newest hardware.

    Sound 2/2
    The voice acting and the characters were all unique and made you feel apart of this world. The sounds from the blasters bouncing off the deflection of your light saber. The crashing of constructs falling from the battlements. This is a masterpiece and a real stimulation of your ear holes.

    This game is a solid 8/10 with a 20-30 hour campaign depending on how much of the collectibles and shinnies you want to find along the way. This is a must play game for any star was fan.    … Expand

One complaint I do have was that the story was TOO SHORT, only about 17 hours which is a bummer, I would have loved to spend more time with these characters. Another thing I did not like, which would have made the game so much better for other people would have been ADDING MORE CONTENT after the story was done such as some kind of multiplayer or some kind of side missions. I have found every secret and chest and it gives you a really good feeling knowing you found them all. I really did like the ponchos even though some did not but I would have liked to have MORE CUSTOMIZATION options specifically for Cal. Gameplay feels amazing, really makes you FEEL LIKE A JEDI, there is a big difference in gameplay between the first couple hours of gameplay and towards the end of the game where you have so many more SKILLS, ABILITIES AND TRICKS. Lightsaber customization is PERFECT. I usually play FPS games so this felt so much harder and different in a good way. My favorite planet was definitely BOGANO and my least favorite was probably DATHOMIR, I would love MORE LOCATIONS AND PLACES to go to for the sequel. EXPLORATION is one of the best parts of the game and the fact that there isn't fast travel doesn't bother me so much as you unlock secret passage ways. I like the Bounty Hunters but I wish they could look and play different as a lot of them look and play the same with the big robot and the smaller guy with the jetpack. So pumped for the sequel hopefully the story will be LONGER and there will me MORE CONTENT after the story is done. Electronic Arts really surprised me with this even though Respawn is my one of my favorite games studios. My favorite game of 2019.… Expand

    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.
