There's three main aspects to the gameplay parkour, combat, and puzzles. You'll not brutally run over the enemies kill them jump and swing to pass missions,

    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 !    … Expand

On the One S (and the OG Xbox One) this game is an unmitigated disaster. Dynamic resolution frequently drops to 540p and it STILL cannot maintain anything close to a stable framerate. 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

    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

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

A grab bag of established techniques that ultimately fall short, Uncharted style action/exploration that’s let down by shonky controls. Sekiro style combat that’s way too loose and unbalanced, getting more and more aggravating as the game progresses. 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. But, if you are a fan of Star Wars this is a must to play for for the story alone, solid emotional performances just made me want to keep playing.

    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

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 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

    I don't have too many complaints. One is the texture pop-in is absolutely horrendous, please fix. Also your attacks are very long and drawn out, and you aren't able to cancel them, so you are left exposed if you strike even a moment to early.

The lightsaber customisation is unreal too, you can change everything about Cals lightsaber, from colour to individual segments of the Saber, and (this can maybe be seen as a spoiler but it’s an item you find exploring) You can find a duel blades lightsaber attachment changing Cals fighting style completely and the way you need to play completely, which adds so much more. The exploration is great too, kind of like charted, fun and addictive also.

    Now sadly, on to the negatives; Sometimes I’m put off but some of the Human faces, particularly Cere, something about it seems unpolished, wether that be animation or Mocap or whatever it’s not massive though. I’ve found sometimes the lighting can be a bit off making the game look worse than it actually is. I wish the lightsaber had proper physics like in the Jedi Knight games, I.E. if your lightsaber touches a wall it burnt a hole in it and I wish we could cut the arms off storm troopers but that’s minor too. The game is a little unoriginal, which to me is fine It still plays and fits so well in starwars. The characters seem really rushed, I know I’ll learn more about them as I play more but I felt as if I could identify as Cal at first because of how fast things escalated, that’s really the main issue for me at the moment.
    Over all great game by respawn, hope EA sees how much people love it and will continue with single player starwars games.    … 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

    Finally a good Star Wars game from EA thanks Respawn. Technically not very clean, Worldbuilding and gameplay are great.

    I'm really enjoying the game. It really feels like Star Wars. Have a great combat system in max difficult. The levels design is in someway like God of War. The combat kind of DS. The way to play each map like Uncharted. This game wants to combine all the good stuff, nothing new, no innovations, but a really good combination of everything we love in videogames with the star wars feel. I'mI'm really enjoying the game.

    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.
