Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

This game is fantastic. It takes the foundation of the first game and really builds upon it. Improving on gameplay variety, customization, side content, etc. I also found the overall story in this game to be much better and more gripping then it's predecessor. The story is emotional, awe-inspiring, darker and overall just really strong. From a 'video-game' standpoint there's so much to love with overall fun, exhilarating and challenging gameplay with plenty to do. From a 'Star Wars' perspective this is a welcome addition that has awesome lore, immersive worlds and super memorable cameos from iconic characters.

I could easily see myself giving this a 10/10 but the game just unfortunately struggles performance wise. The frame drops on performance mode on my ps5 were jarring and not on par with other next-gen games that run dang near flawlessly like God of War: Ragnarok, for example. Also, there is an entire bounty hunter mechanic that gives you access to 18 additional boss fights and my game is bugged out resulting in me not even being able to partake in that entire part of the game.

Amazing game play mechanics, and a wonderful storyline with some unexpected twists. There is a lot to do, event after you reach the end of the main storyline. The characters are well developed, as are their relationships. Many of the characters are new, but there is at least one legendary character that everyone will recognize. Even the principal antagonists have a lot of depth; they are far more complex that your typical "bad guys." The graphics are very nice, and the PC game is not very demanding in regard to hardware. Overall, it's one of the best games I've played in recent years. I would highly recommend it to any Star Wars fan.

I've been playing for about 20 hours now and I'd guess I'm about half way through. I'll stop and find EVERYTHING before i push on any further into the story but so far - this is an awesome game.

I'm playing on the PS5, amazing graphics and performance - it looks great. Very fun gameplay. Challenging fights with a lot of variety in strategy, there's 5 different lightsabre styles and a nice array of force powers to use. The story is interesting, the acting and cutscenes are very high quality too. The planets all feel very large and Metroidvania fans will certainly enjoy themselves, there's a vast array of goodies to find hidden all over the maps.

Its not perfect, the map is almost painful to try to read and the way the side-quests or 'rumours' are handled could be better, there's one or two game play bugs like you try to avoid a heavy attack, but you cant dodge back because there's a wall there that the camera angle didn't let you see and boom your dead but overall these are minor concerns in the bigger picture.

The game is great so far. I've played about 3 hours so far and to this point it feels like what a sequel should be. Bigger, better, and I can definitely appreciate the continuity with Cal and his abilities. (Things like double jump, pull, push, etc available right away). Always been a weird nit pick of mine that sequels make you relearn things you learned in the previous game. Although, I can't ignore the frame rate struggles. I've never been one to complain about graphics or a games performance, but playing on PS5 for 3 years now I've been spoiled with little to no frame issues. For a game to finally come out with noticeable struggles is a bit jarring, and a bit upsetting. Nothing too gamebreaking, but it is definitely noticeable in some bigger fights, and for me anyway, cutscenes have STRUGGLED so far. I'm sure this will get fixed in a future patch, so I won't let it affect my score. Can't wait to really sink my teeth into this over the weekend and get it rolling.

Jedi Survivor improved pretty much every aspect from the previous game, harder and more interesting boss fights, more variety in terms of clothes and customization, the story was Better and lengthier, we were introduced to new characters, more planets to explore and we were able to do more things like gardening and recruiting more characters for the saloon, which by the way is a wonderful place to visit each time I go to Koboh, we also got more stances to use, which is definitely one of my favorite things in this game, all of them felt really unique and fun in their own way, but the game itself is pretty laggy no matter what platform you play on, sudden frame drops, weird glitches etc. But I don't have that big of a problem with that since it doesn't happen to me very often, and the final problem I have with Jedi Survivor is Tanalorr, the whole story was basically building up anticipation for Tanalorr, but when we got to finally visit it, there was nothing to do, a few scans and echos here and there and that's it, I whish there was more to explore, and I also would have liked another outpost on Tanalorr, because they literally called it their new home. Overall the game was incredible, I loved it, it's a 9.4 for me.
