Amazing, makes me feel like I'm in the world of Star Wars more than half of the actual movies. Tough, but rewarding combat system is incredible, wielding a lightsaber has never been so satisfying.
What I know of star wars is that couple of bits that I can remember from watching it with my father when I was a wee lad. Aside from that, I believe I went ahead and watched Rouge one and Episode 9 in the theatres with some mates, so all in all, I don't know much about star wars and I don't count myself as a star wars fan. However, due to popular demand and numerous recommendations, I decided to play Fallen Order on stream and it was a blast. As a souls-like enjoyer (Finished Sekiro, my first FromSoft, DS3, yet to have played the DLC and Elden Ring, still unfinished) It had the perfect balance of being difficult and enjoyable at the same time. The enemy variety was surprisingly good for a game that was mediocre in gameplay time. Story was concise and led you properly to climaxes. Okay, now for my reason as to why I cannot give it a 10/10. I know that it's totally a subjective point however, it affected my experience while playing the game, thus affecting the score. With the meditation aka the save points being far away and not being to teleport to them or find a way back aside from backtracking, it led to a lot of time wasted just trying to backtrack and go back to the point where you have to go. The map was confusing because of the layering and I believe a lot of people would agree with that as well. With that being said, it is a great game, even for somebody who's not inclined with star wars, I had an amazing time! Looking forward to Jedi Survivor and I'll be playing it once I am able to afford it, for sure.
A game that plays out like an actual Star Wars movie.
I got a chance to play this game for a couple of weeks, beat it for around 20 hours, and now, In celebration of May 4th "Star Wars day" to write a review. The story created more sense to the Star Wars canon since "Order 66" is not a complete success. There are some Jedi's survived the purge like Obi-wan, grandmaster Yoda and the man of this game Cal Kestis. Throughout his journey, you will learn the ways of a Jedi that can be used in combat and traversing through obstacles. Judging from how it is played, it feels like I am playing "Uncharted" or "Tomb Raider" without guns but with the spice of a "Souls" game. _\*giggles when lightsaber decapitates enemy_ It's not much of an open world since you can only visit a limited number of planets. This game will certainly satisfy your itch for exploration along with discovering hidden paths and unlocking secret item boxes but will always remind you for a skill check therefore detours are inevitable. Replayability-wise, you can always practice your mastery of the force _(or have fun playing with the force)_ through playing combat challenges and battle grid. Completing these challenges will earn you tokens that can be exchanged for rewards. Overall, EA games did not let me down on this one, in which the story is its strongest point. They made this game loyal to the Star Wars canon and even made it open for future sequels, spin-offs, and cameos.
Beautiful just flat out built amazingly with a lot of depth to story and just the fact its cannon to the actual star wars movies and shows is just even better. I highly do recommend this if your a star wars fan orrr not, it really don't matter.
i don't like the combat system. i don't like the graphics. i don't like the respawn gameplay. something feels really off in this game. it's hard i know but this game is annoying kind-of-hard. idk maybe i play this after playing god of war and it made this looks terrible. sorry EA. the rating goes to lightsaber customization and slow-motion effect after hundred times of trying and finally managed to parry the attacks.
to rate this game.
