    After more than 30 hours, this game is a clear candidate for the best game of the year and of the generation, a masterpiece that takes everything good that Fallen Order had and improves it, gigantic settings, better combat system and jumps and secondary objectives in which it is a pleasure to get lost and enjoy it more than 50 hours to complete it to 100. the best star wars game in history

    Caídas de FPS, resolución pobre en modo rendimiento, en exteriores los gráficos se ven horribles, no se puede vender un juego así, me siento estafado.

    Full playthrough on Series S

    Platforming. In the previous game platforming was too often frustrating. For example rope swings were a source of much frustration to the point I never beat the first game. This has largely been fixed in the current game. In Jedi Survivor I had no trouble with the rope swings and felt the controls for the rest of the platforming was made easier.

    Platforming. In the previous game platforming was too often frustrating. For example rope swings were a source of much frustration to the point I never beat the first game. This has largely been fixed in the current game. In Jedi Survivor I had no trouble with the rope swings and felt the controls for the rest of the platforming was made easier. This is not to say that the platforming is now easy as there certainly are areas will you will die a few times until you figure out the timing and pattern. I suggest turning off fall damage so you lose no health when you respawn after a fall.

    Combat. In a word, fun. I am old and long ago lost my ninja reflexes so I play on the 2nd easiest difficulty setting which made combat much easier but not too easy. I did switch to the easiest difficulty a few times during the more challenging combat sequences. Combat is much like in the first game, fast paced and fun. A new addition to your Jedi powers allows for turning an enemy to an ally for a short period of time which adds an interesting strategic element to combat. The game is a power fantasy that when you nail the timing makes you feel like an unstoppable force.

    Story. Above average. In most games I skip through the dialogue as the story tends to be boring, not well written or acted. The story in Jedi Survivor kept me interested till the end.

    Issues. Graphics in some areas looked muddy and washed out. A couple of the cutscenes had slight lip syncing issues. Overall the issues were minor and I am sure will be patched soon, although it would be nice if games were released when ready.

    All in all a massive improvement over the previous game. I really liked the game world, the lightsaber and blaster combo and yes, even the platforming which I usually hate in games. For this reason I give the game a 9 out of 10.    … Expand

    Good god the game was excellent, fulfilling and gripping all the way through. This has to be the best Star Wars game, and one of the great action adventure games ever. The combat is satisfying with a little challenge to keep you earning those victories. The visuals were beautiful.

The visuals were beautiful. The music! true to the star wars stage as ever. absolutely grand and fitting orchestral soundtrack. The platforming never felt grueling or laborious, you flowed through maps and puzzles. The story worked well because the characters are voiced with true talent and written with modern cadences. Never corny, always just enough of drama and subtlety. The lightsaber stances all brought their own worthy twist, and could play with each one fully if needed. I loved the game truly.… Expand

    Needs a performance overhaul. Runs very inconsistently, lots of other issues todo with how the game runs. The art and actual game seems a solid 9 out if 10. Honestly seems like it was released to early

    The stutters and frame drops happening all the time on performance mode make the game unplayable, at least for me. I've never seen performance this bad on Xbox Series X from any other game before. And here I thought Elden Ring performance was pretty bad, this one takes the cake!

    I had to refund this game on Xbox Series X. The performance mode was not performant at all. It looked terrible on the LG OLED which doesn't do well with low frame rates. I can't wait to buy it again in the future when it's fixed and a lower price... SMH... That's what I get for supporting a developer I like.

    Terrible performance. I've stopped playing once you reach the second planet it goes from bad to worse. I've stopped playing until it's patched. The game itself is fun but feels a bit bloated in comparison to the lean and fast paced original. Less is more. Fix your game.

    This game is AMAZING! It improves (imo) over Fallen Order in every aspect. Traversal is more fluid (no more pulling the left trigger to grab a wall!) And they have added several new play styles to really customize how you want to play the game. I have my favorites of course but I won't spoil it for people who want to discover them in game.

I would have given it a 10, but there are performance issues so it loses a point for not having a stable frame rate. I play on a VRR TV so i don't notice too much, but it's still there. If they patch it to a stable frame rate it's a 10/10 for me.… Expand

I play on Jedi Knight difficulty which is the medium difficulty setting and I wouldn’t wanna go any harder or easier than it is right now personally. The environments are a step up compared to the first game. They really put some work into creating sight views that make you wow! It is however suffering from a few performance issues. The game crashed on me a few times and that’s not acceptable. It shouldn’t work like that and after using quick resume on Xbox series X I realized in a few occasions some fps drops occur unfortunately. I think the problem is solved by just restarting the game but still it shows it is not released fully optimized. That’s why I give it an. 8 instead of 9. As soon as they patch the game and solve these minor issues. The game easily deserves a90 over score. It’s a great game!… Expand

    I don’t understand what’s been happening with developers lately, even in quality mode - low resolution, and in performance mode it’s just a nightmare, and even with fps drop, as if I’m back in the days of Xbox one, I’m already ready to buy pro versions of consoles, because I feel like it will only get worse.

    Review bombs are ridiculous. Jedi Survivor exceeds Fallen Order in nearly every aspect minus potentially the overall story. This is a must play for Star Wars fans. Performance has taken a hit or two with some of the patches, but it’s more than reasonable. great great game.

    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]
