    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. See I played Fallen Order and loved it, the revolutionary combat and intriguing story made it great. It could pass as a new game and be just fine. Of course, there wasn’t enough customization and there were some bugs here and there + there wasnt enough lightsaber stances. But Jedi Survivor improved on everything. Sure for PC the graphics were bad but not me, I was just fine (I’m on Xbox). The story and customization and everything was great. Honestly the one bad thing about this game is that I didn’t like Dagan Gera’s voice actor he sounded like a toddler. And I’m most definitely hyped for the inevitable trequel. And I hope we can see Kata grown up and Cal and Merrin have some goofy Jedi + Night Sister kid I don’t know how that’ll work but it will. Anyways this game blew away my expectation and I almost cried over Cere’s death and Bode’s betrayal and actions. So yeah 10/10 gonna probably replay it 6 times like I did with Fallen Order.… Expand

    When I heard this game was targeting current gen only hardware I wasn't sure what to expect. When at its best, the ray traced GI/reflections 4k (upscaled) quality mode looks superb on my oled screen. Lost count of the number of jaw dropping moments in my play through. The story and cutscenes were far better quality than I'd anticipated and these were at times stunning. I also preferred the level design this time around.
    Sadly there are a number of distractingly poor technical issues throughout the majority of the game. Namely a frame rate that although often hits its target 30fps has distracting dips as new areas load into memory. For a game that often requires precision for fighting/platforming this performance problem sticks out and impacts gameplay and immersion. Add to this some noticeable texture stream in and things can look a bit shakey at times.

    The 'open linear' style hub planet introduced a more interesting and detailed experience rather than planet hopping this time. I enjoyed the fun holotactitcs mini game and enjoyed the detail in some of the NPC dialogue. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the genre but be warned, even now Aug 2023 there are still very noticeable performance issues.    … Expand

    CONS: This is where things get bad, The Story is a MAJOR L. Wasted antagonist that who motivations overall just suck, and a secondary antagonist shoehorned in. The Overall pacing and plot developments just over all make for a story that is incoherent and lazy. Which really sucks because the overall Performances are great.

    Optimization, and preformance, is terrible it seems like the devs overall released a broken game, I had this game crash on me more times than I can count, the FPS in preformance mode were sub 30 alot of the time.    … Expand

    Played this game in August 2023, it still has heavy framerate issues. Tried alternating settings including the performance setting. Lots of games I don't mind 30 fps, but this is just unbearable. Luckily I could return it to the store.

    A lot of dumb kids bombing the rating without even playing the game. Probably watched some "funny" YouTube content creators and just copied their opinion.
    This is a great single player game with great gameplay. I love how it evolved from the first part. The combat evolved a lot and there is a lot of variance how to fight enemies. I finished the first part on Grand Master difficulty. And    A lot of dumb kids bombing the rating without even playing the game.

    This is a great single player game with great gameplay. I love how it evolved from the first part. The combat evolved a lot and there is a lot of variance how to fight enemies. I finished the first part on Grand Master difficulty. And now already spend ~15 hours on Jedi survivor also on the hardest difficulty. It brings a lot of joy once you master the parry mechanic and understand how to defeat different enemies (spend 40 minutes on Rancor).
    If you like challenging single player game with great combat - just pick the hardest difficulty and the game will bring you a lot of fun.
    The only negative part is performance, it's not terrible, it's ok. I play on Xbox series X on 4K TV, I have some noticable fps drops time to time, but that is 4k and the console is already 3 years after release, it's analogue of rtx 2070-2080. So if you have rtx 30**/40** series and full HD monitor - I believe there wouldn't be any noticable issues with fps. I mean Witcher 3 had good enough 100+ fps only after many years of release and the game was still good. So this one is great as well.    … Expand

    I'll start by saying Fallen Order was a much better game.

    The Bad: 30 minutes between save points is back. And seems to be even worse than Fallen Order. Is it really so hard to allow us to save games as we want?!?

    I played all of Fallen Order on the default Jedi Knight difficulty. The difficulty on this one seems to be on steroids, as I've even had to lower it to story mode to advance a few times.

    Good: The fighting is fantastic and on point. But that's the one positive. In my opinion, this game is worse than Fallen Order in every way.    … Expand

    Here are the positives
    - Respawn gets the lore. We see things in this game that I never thought I would see outside of books with deep cut lore. I was thrilled by the stuff they pulled and put in this game.
    - It is canon! This is just as much canon as the movies which is great to know!
    - Cal is one of my favorite jedi in all of Star Wars, he gets so much character development in this game. Love him!
    - The whole cast is here and great, love the mew additions!
    - The story. The story is unmatched. It starts slow but it builds into a jaw dropping finally that had me yelling at my TV. This game is shocking. The writing is perfect. What a story!
    - Gameplay! The gameplay is perfect. You start with the powers you had at the end of Fallen Order. You are a Jedi Knight now and that comes with being stronger. The combat is even better, the lightsaber stances are all fun and unique. The boss battles are incredibly fun and fast pace! The platforming is very fun and challenging also!
    - Customization! Lots you can do in this game with making Cala and your lightsaber look the way you want.
    - Maps and world design/level design. Multiple planets, all very big and unique. The level design with the short cuts reminds me of the first dark souls game, very intelligently designed!
    - Side content! There is a lot from side quests to animal collecting to holo battles.    … Expand

Unless the name of your company is Rockstar or FromSoftware, I will be waiting until I can physically watch footage of the game I want running with built in vrr @40fps+ and 4k resolution or 60fps+ at nothing less than 1440p.

Lightsaber combat is fun, and different styles are cool to experiment with once you have enough skills unlocked. Difficulty is totally up to you and can be changed easily. My biggest wish is that the main story were longer, and I hope the devs opt for an proper expansion DLC. I've played through main storyline and now completing side quests and unlocking things I missed. Complaints from other reviews seem to be performance. For me, it was annoying at times but not game breaking. Don't expect to push 4K/120hz, it simply won't work. I play in performance mode (1440p/60hz), and gameplay is consistently smooth with some slow downs at transition points and cut scenes. Never an issue during combat.… Expand

The level design is is alright but its definitely the weakest part about this game as usually there is only way to get around or solve a puzzle, which can feel a bit repetitive and too linear. Also many areas feel like you should be able to reach or jump onto but they are out of bounds- this was a very annoying part of the game. The fall damage system was also irritating as the game would reset if you jump from a slightly high place- this really slowed down the game in a bad way. However despite this the story was mostly great and the boss fights were done well especially Rayvis- Bode at the end was a bit irrational. Overall a great game with fun quests that was let down by too linear level design and being a bit buggy.… Expand

    Fighting groups of elite enemies doesn’t work very well with the way they built the combat system. You’re often at the mercy of constant strong attacks that you can’t block They added a weapon and character customization component that’s completely pointless unless you like finding new facial hair or lightsaber handles
    Way too much platforming. It feels like the developers gave up on improving the combat system and instead focused on building environments large enough that you’d have to spend your time jumping and climbing on things for most of the main sections.
    A lot of the enemies are able to reject your force powers making you feel not like a powerful Jedi but instead an average character trying to compete with whatever the empire has thrown at you.

    Overall I recommend this game to anyone that was a fan of the original as long as you go knowing it’s not as polished as the critics make it out to be. I’d wait until this one is on sale.    … Expand

    The Survivor artists have captured the aesthetic of Episodes I-VI so compellingly that the distant planets will engulf you like a sarlacc. At the same time, the writers reflect the reality of the Star Wars animated and live-action series, reaching back to the ancient era of the High Republic. Everything blends into one in Survivor. It represents the best that Star Wars gaming can currently give. [Issue#327]
