    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.

    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

    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!

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%.

And the story, that    This isn't a popular opinion, but to me the combat and "rest" system in this game are its two biggest downfalls. But before I dig in, here are the positives.

    The game looks great, sounds great, and I liked the main character. The RPG "skill point" system was also nice, allowing you to progressively make your character better in the ways that matched your play style. And the story, that I played up until, was good. I liked it. It wasn't amazing, but it definitely drew me in enough that I wanted to know what was going to happen next.

    Now for the negatives, starting with combat. Lots of people seem to love the combat. For me, I would recommend the combat of Dark Souls over the combat in this game, even to non-gamers. The timing of parries/blocks and the hitboxes in this game are maddeningly awful. Even when I turned the difficulty all the way down to "Story", which gives you the least enemy aggression and the largest window for parrying, it was still awful. In fact, it was worst on "Story" difficulty because enemies will sometimes stand in front of you for *minutes* without doing anything if you let them, which is entirely too passive to be interesting. But you'll be trying to reflect a blaster shot and sometimes it works, even when the shot is like 10 feet to your right, and sometimes you'll block and still get hit in the chest because it didn't register your guard. Same thing with melee fights but worse because if you get hit by the first light attack in a chain, your character is so bad at fighting that they just can't block mid-chain so you either need to find an opportunity to dodge-roll away or you just take the damage. And then even if you do roll away, the game technically punishes you for not parrying blows. Enemies have block gauges and when you parry you can take a chunk of that gauge away. But even on "common" enemies, you have to parry at least three times, but the block gauge regenerates after a few seconds of not taking a hit, so if you dodge away you might be letting the enemy regenerate all that hard work you've done up to that point. And don't even think about using your own light attack chains to deplete it, because all enemies will always block if they have the gauge for it and they will always parry you somewhere in your chain. Always.

    This wouldn't be awful if not for the "rest" mechanic, which literally resets all enemies on the map. You see, you get a limited number of healing items which only replenish when you rest. You can't find more of them in the field so resting is literally the only way to get more healing items. But if you just finished a really hard fight near a save point, and then you rest to get back all your healing items, any difficult enemies you defeated are back and potentially blocking your path forward. It's not enjoyable to use up all your healing items on a mini-boss, save your progress, replenish your supplies, and then have to fight him all over again. Probably requiring you to replenish your healing items all over again, thus starting the never-ending cycle of pain. This wouldn't be so bad if combat was actually compelling and competent. But again, your main character is a terrible fighter and should probably die in most fights because every action he takes is drawn out, slow, inefficient.

    Other nit-picks include force power not regenerating over time. It's the force, you always have the ability to use it, it's just your only constitution that determines how often you can pull off tricks. You shouldn't have to hit enemies constantly to use force powers in battle, it doesn't make sense. Also, if you are going to reset all enemies after resting, then you should be able to replenish healing items on the map somehow, without resting. That or the main character needs some kind of slow health regen. Finally, your character somehow forgot all the basic force stuff, like pushing and pulling, which seems ridiculous because he effectively uses force pull at the beginning of the game and then has to re-learn it later to actually use it whenever he wants.

    Overall, I think Control spoiled me. I played it through t completion before even touching Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. It had a great combat system with supernatural abilities similar to Jedi force powers. In fact, if you re-skinned Control with Star Wars, it would have made a substantially better Jedi game than this. Can't recommend this game, but I can recommend Control if you want to basically have Jedi powers, just with a supernatural theme.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alright this my first review for any game.

    My hopes were a little Dim and dull about this game when I was hearing about it, I didn’t trust EA with a single player RPG set during the same time as the force unleashed and Rogue one, I was hesitant to see how they’d make a cannon storyline that wouldn’t interfere with the movies.

    I can say that this Game succeeds as an amazing Star Wars experience, the issues with the game are merely with the Combat and the lack of more customization with Kal Kestis.

    Storyline it made perfect sense and gave me a perspective that I thought I already knew about but seeing the flashbacks where Kal remembers his master Jaro Topal training him and then order 66 being issued and witnessing it through the eyes of a Padawan and literally feeling powerless the first few boss fights. EA won me back over with this game they made a great game with an amazing storyline and it shows that they literally learned from the mistakes of the past games and they put time and effort into learning the whole Star Wars universe, the amount of detail into the worlds especially Dathomir blew me away.

    Overall I give it a 9/10 would’ve been 7/10 due to the combat being aggravating at times and the fact that the biggest customization I have is the damn poncho... but the storyline after finishing the game it deserves no less then a 9/10 because they respected the lore.    … Expand

    Engraçado que um dos melhores jogos da EA nessa geração foi ''Dragon Age Inquisition'', que era todo ''bugado'', Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order veio repetindo o mesmo feito, jogo ''bugado'', mas o que é interessante dizer, que ambos são bons, realmente recomendo esse jogo aí, o que é raro para eu que sou muito crítico da EA Games.

    I was extremely excited about this game -- going as far as buying a new Xbox One X. However, after several hours of gameplay I found myself bored and truly forcing myself to play. It's pretty much a less fun version of Tomb Raider with poor mechanics that is Star Wars themed (I actually loved the new Tomb Raider series). Let's start with the good.

    - The force "abilities" are boring. as. hell. Spoiler alert: one of them is a double jump. How exciting...
    - It quickly gets repetitive.

    If you want good combat go to different games. I've beaten a couple of dark souls games but this is a poor clone. This is due to auto locking and damage being way too high, a 1/8 for blaster fire is kinda much when we have zero ranged attacks. Honestly I just found myself wishing for power beyond basic stuff like push and pull.

    Jedi Fallen Order fluctuates throughout but still provides a great Star Wars experience. Visuals are beautifully authentic but can become choppy. Movement & combat feels grounded despite a severe lack of fluidity. Glitches are sadly abundant and ruin imersive moments but overall It’s a wonderful adventure, almost spectacular.

I will say this, I have most of the force skills now, and fighting finally feels fun and not painful. I really liked the main character, but had little care for most of the supporting cast. To be fair, this game is really not my favorite style, I’m more of an open world rpg that you can play for a year, not a week.

The entire game is predicated on the parry and dodge system but it’s clunky at best. 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

    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

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.

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.

    Fallen Order is WAY better than I expected. It's basically a perfect blend of Dark Souls and Tomb Raider with a Star Wars skin. It has the difficulty and level design of Dark Souls with the platforming and puzzles of Tomb Raider and a good story to wrap it all up. I highly recommend it.

Probablemente es el mejor producto relacionado con la franquicia Star Wars en bastante tiempo, al menos que haya llegado a mis manos, sin importar el medio. La historia no es que sea muy allá, pero en mi opinión supera a lo visto en las pelis de Disney de los últimos tiempos. Tenemos a Cal Kestis un joven padawan que malvive escondiéndose de las redes del imperio tras la ejecución de la Orden 66 y la purga de los Jedi. Escapando de sus perseguidores es rescatado por Cere, una antigua Jedi, de las últimas supervivientes de la purga, que busca un artefacto que contiene información que podría servir para reconstruir la orden. A partir de ese momento esa será nuestra misión. Recuperar el artefacto y buscar a aquellos sensibles a la fuerza para, desde las cenizas de la orden, volver a plantar cara al imperio.

    Jugablemente tenemos un producto que pica de varios géneros. Tenemos el plataformeo ya visto en juegos como Tomb Raider o Uncharted. Un combate que nos puede recordar a Dark Souls, pero con una dificultad más benevolente, un toque de RPG con un escueto árbol de habilidades, exploración, puzzles utilizando la fuerza, un poco de mazmorreo... En definitiva un juego del que me esperaba menos y me ha sorprendido gratamente. Me ha dado para cerca de 20 horas de partida, lo cual está muy bien. Si tengo que decir algo en contra, es quizás la aparición de varios bugs, que han afeado el conjunto, en ningún momento me han impedido disfrutar de la partida, pero siempre queda feo ver bugs en un juego de este nivel.

    Si os gusta Star Wars, los juegos de aventura y no os importa que haya un poco de mecánica souls like, este es un juego muy decente que os dará un buen puñado de horas de diversión.    … Expand

    All told it's a solid game but not a particularly inspired one. I liked the story but it's pretty standard Star Wars, and the gameplay is derivative of a lot of AAA action adventure games.

    Fallen Order is a fantastic story-driven game that every Star Wars fan needs to play. The game could've easily been a linear experience, but Respawn Entertainment took it above and beyond. Although some elements of the game can be frustrating (Ziplining), the negatives are forgotten as soon as you delve into any sort of combat or even when you experience the environment of the game.

    Это метроидвания от третьего лица про джедаев со слабеньким клишированным сюжетов, с приятным главным героем и средненькими, околопосредственными персонажами.

    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.

    cons - very short for the price. 18 hrs with almost non existent re-playability

    The graphics are good. The battle mechanics are just ok.. should have copied Dark souls 1:1. The Order 66 memories are awesome and the Vader appearance is perfect. 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.

    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.
