Slow paced, too many puzzles and not enough action to cleanse pellet, rip off of many games, and not fun. And I'm not a troll lol, it's my opinion... the only good thing about this game arethe visuals and dialogue
Tyler Mcgrew Same man! Also my game of the year! Never have I felt so bad for completing a game.... I just want to continue playing Cal’s story right away
KC White The game is really big.... It has 5 planets to explore freely.... Its hard to to say... Its a game you should take your time with.... Don’t rush through.... I guess I played around 30 hours for the story ending and after continued for collectibles like gear and colours for my lightsaber
At least when this guy has a burst of adrenaline, he is only able to save a co worker from falling because he cut himself off from the force. Instead of flying through the vacuum of space
I'm really glad I played before watchihg this review. You spoil the opening 30 to 45 minutes completely, describe and show all the major planets along with a hefty number of the enemies. Seriously, spoilers aren't just about story details. Don't watch this if you don't like spoilers.
Have to disagree with you pal. I really liked Cal. He’s like what Rey was supposed to be, but one hundred times better, while also managing to be better than Ezra and Kanan combined. He IS a generic character, I won’t deny that, but this game proved to me that this isn’t necessarily always a bad thing. Cal has so much personality and his story is so well told and so grounded in reality that it managed to captivate me until the last second. My biggest fear was that he was gonna die by the end since this is canon. I can see why you and a lot of other people would call him generic, but to me, that didn’t make him a bad character when his story and development were so well written and executed in the game.
For anyone who is planning on getting this id suggest playing on at least jedi master or grand master for the full experience. It adds a bit of a challenge but not too bad
The Real Obscure yeah GM is a joke tbh. It’s just my opinion but it feels way too easy ... the only challenge I faced was the last boss (no spoilers) just because of broken mechs
Yo not so many details, I came out to find if the game is god or bad, not the opening and how every planet I visit will look like. Just tell me in 5 to 10 min how the mechanics, graphics, game play, and if its got oodles of micro transactions ruining the game... But really chill on the games intricate details.
I think the way it works with dying / checkpoints is that 1) If you die in battle, you respawn at the last meditation point you visited and you'll need to hit the enemy that killed you to regain XP. I think you can still get killed on your way back to that enemy and then you will have two enemies to regain XP from. You don't need to rest at the meditation point. It's enough to interact with it to save your progress there. 2) If you die by falling, you restart where you died but your health bar will decrease by a bit. I haven't tested this 100% but I think that if you die consistently without healing to the point that your health goes to 0, you'll be taken back to the last meditation point you visited. I'm not sure whether you'll be taken to the meditation point after a fixed number of failed attempts I.e. preventing you from just healing constantly as your life decreases after each fall.
don't hope for a dlc man, support the game and spread Respawn product quality so you can get a solid sequel for this game. Hoping for dlcs is exactly what EA's planning to do to make games less enjoyable
This guy played on normal, I would definitely recommend playing on Jedi Knight, or whatever the third option is called. It’s just a little to easy on normal. Jedi master is basically insane mode
The game is hella buggy, story is predictable but solid, combat is good but can be annoying, only when you get most of the force powers do you feel like a true Jedi which I guess was the point. A perfectly solid God of War remake with Star Wars skin,
I really hope they can at least let Respawn keep developing this gem. A sequel is more likely to happen for this game, all we need to do is to avoid playing any of those damn multiplayer game.
A jedi knight with these graphics would be 1000 times better and WITHOUT scripted lighsaber fights . We want full control of the lightsaber combat like in jedi knight outcast
Spoiler alert in the first minute bro. Not cool. The comments section is blowing up with positive response soooooo it's on my Christmas list. Good Job EA😒
Devs said no, at least for now. They said because they believed that the player would be far too powerful and would be able to blow straight through all the areas as some are gated by upgrades needed to progress through certain parts of levels to keep from moving to far before story warrants it. But maybe they will change some things and put one in!
I'd like to give this a shot after a nice price drop. So far, I like most of what I've learned. What I am not a fan of is losing unspent experience and the means of getting them back and no fast travel. Hopefully, that won't get old and I will be able to enjoy and finish the game.
@@lifeispain404 Yeah, I gathered that based on a few articles and videos I've come across. I never had an interest in Dark Souls so I never played and as such, I am unfamiliar with it. I like the story of this game and I think it could be fun. Force Unleashed is the first Star Wars game I played and I enjoyed the heck out of it. I'm hoping I'll enjoy this too.
It usually take less than a minute for you to get back to where you died and reclaim. Any XP you gained (you don’t have to fight everything; just run past enemies to reach section) is instantly recouped. Also, you can adjust difficulty level on the fly so if one enemy/boss is giving you really hard time, you can lower difficulty for that fight, then raise it back up. If you like Star Wars, you’ll def enjoy the game
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order is such a fun and amazing game ! 😁 I got this game when it came out last year :) The lightsaber combat and the Force powers are amazing and the story and characters are outstanding and The Inquisitors. This game had epic bossbattles and lightsaber duels against the Inquisitors and Taron Malicos 😁.
don't hope for a dlc man, support the game and spread Respawn product quality so you can get a solid sequel for this game. Hoping for dlcs is exactly what EA's planning to do to make games less enjoyable
I must say, i wasn't expecting to like this game because I'm not a big fan of any of the new SW stuff and not even the new Mandalorian series(well, so far at least it's pretty bland imo) but after a few hours I'm really liking this game. I don't know, it just feels like SW to me as far as atmosphere goes and the game is not bad at all. It's nothing new, i admit. I recently played Shadow of the Tomb Raider and this game has a lot in common with that game in terms of actual gameplay but it's a good game. It's fun, it looks great and it runs great in 1080p on an old i5 4690k, GTX 970 setup, 60 fps no problems. It does have minor microstutter but mainly during cinematics and I don't really mind. Overall i give it a 7.5 / 10.
It's still no Outcast or Academy but it's definitely still the best Jedi game since the Jedi Knight series. I don't think there will ever be a better Jedi/lightsaber combat game than Jedi Outcast and Academy unless they just made a new Jedi Knight game and even then I would be worried that the gameplay still wouldn't live up to what Outcast and Academy achieved unless they brought back the original team that worked on those last 2 games.
@@heartlesslucas7781 Fallen Order takes another approach to combat. It's more cinematic and tries to look real while beeing a souls "lite" game. Jedi Outcast and Academy plays faster, the movement of the characters is outdated af, but its a good dueling game. Frankly I dont believe games like Jedi Academy would do well those days. Imagine the Gameplay of Academy combined with the graphics of Fallen Order... it would look ridiculous and silly.
@@Junglebauer I think Academy-like combat games could do well, if devs would add a few twists. Imho Skyrim combat gives similar feeling... I asked because I long for a game with lightsabers, in which I could cut imperials in half on different angles. I don't want to argue about the best SW game.
How are people praising the combat? The dodging is horrible. I'm not new to this kind of game at all. I dodge at the right time, but I still get hit. It makes Grand Master difficulty a lot less fun. Maybe everyone is playing on normal difficulty
My only complaint of this game is that it wasn't enough for a single player only story, people beat it in the first weekend! 40-50 hours of content would've been perfect!!
at least 15+ hrs needed to complete all the planet contents, that is if you don't use a walkthrough... This game is really great though, the portion is just right, and without a SIDE QUEST. Remember the first Mass Effect? It can be finished in relatively shorter than Star Wars JFO with only the main story.
@@nickochioneantony9288 if that's good for your $60 cool, but I'm comparing to GREAT not just good length games like Witcher 3, RDR2, Nioh, GTA5, FFXV all who have at LEAST 30 hours of MAIN story content for the same $60...yea I feel cheated, zero other complaints though
@@tonybailey89 oh now if you applying cost-benefit to the game, it is a different story... surely the witcher 3 wins the $60 paradigm in term of gameplay length. For me though, if the content as a whole is enjoyable and it has "context" for its story, then it is a good game (Journey for example, so short, but so breathtaking)... Ass'creed Odyssey meanwhile has a ton of content, lots of hours to sink in, but the contextuality of the game is so poor to the point it is not enjoyable.
@@nickochioneantony9288 that's a well supported context I must say lol, I loved AC Origins and it's DLC and enjoyed all 50-60 hours... But I skipped Odyssey all together... But on Fallen order I enjoyed it so much I just want more which I guess is more of a good than bad thing!
@@whatfreedom7 its my game of the year. doubt you'll be dissappointed. its an average game at the very worst but one of the best star wars games best case scienerio its actually a good game that i had a blast with until the end.
Stop smashing EA shitstain on this 2019's hidden gem. Because it is from Respawn and they deserve so much more credit for this game. Everyone compare it to soulsborne game, BUT this Star Wars ia actually a really good game and actually fun to play, not ridiculously waste your time with punishing deaths. Respawn nailed this game and should be considered an achievement considering they have pact with the dEAvil.
once again... Disney should stick to prequels... the sequel characters are ok but the movies they are in are terrible...force awakens was ok but all went to hell with last jedi.. I just hope that Rise of Skywalker is decent... I expect it to at least be better than attack of the clones but not worse than last jedi...I put force awakens right under the bar to attack of the clones because I guess I am the only person who appreciated that movie for what it was...the secret is that you cant screw up a prequel as bad as a sequel because if you do you will break the hell out of canon...
This game is amazing u like how u can fight as a Jedi but I think it would be very Interesting if u can choose to fight as a Jedi or play as a Sith for empire but that’s just my opinion. Having a choice of what side u want to fight as. Because I already beat the game in two days idk it was to easy but I’m getting off topic I think it would be interesting If u fight as a sith for the empire I mean playing as a Jedi’s for each difficulty when u beat the game each difficulty there’s really nothing else to do it would be interesting if they made it where u can fight as a sith for the next update or even when new dlc comes out they should give u at least a option to which side u can fight as at least it would make the game interesting as well just my opinion
i think i see the excitement of branching story.. but actually it is hard to do, doing all extra work costs more and the outcome is insignificant.. don't forget that this game is under EA's radar, they have their own silly deadline for a branching story game like Mass Effect Andromeda, and was it delivered? no, MEA is an embarrassment (even more hurtful for ME fans). Star Wars JFO gives you more than 14 hours of pure STORY contents, no side mission or fetch quest. Just be grateful that Respawn can nailed this game, the sequel of this game should be exactly start from JFO ending, fvck those who hoping for a dlc at this point. A metaphor: a masterpiece film is praised because of what it is in the execution, not because "what if it ended this/that way of the ideal term?".
@@Yliaster1234 but he still is able to use force powers and is still well trained with the lightsaber. He's more than just a kid with a lightsaber lol now if he didn't know any force powers and was barley able to use his saber I would have agreed with his statement
It didn't "replace" anything. It just wasn't cancelled like 1313 was. It would be nice if someday 1313 became a reality, but for now I am VERY satisfied with Fallen Order.
So you’re not going to mention the bulky controls? Or why Cal falls even when he’s jumping across the easiest gaps. Or why when you hit an enemy they don’t stagger and they get to continue hitting you but if they hit you Cal goes flying? What about the input lag? You forgot to mention the terrible input lag that causes you to be hit even though you pressed dodge well within the sweet spot. Just saying.
the game is not made to be as boring as dynasty warriors mechanic. It will punish you for your bad decision but highly satisfying when you succeed... Trying to success for all combat encounter in this game is actually so much more enjoyable. It is basically a soulslike game where the frustration is put to minimal, great game.
Nickochione Antony I beat the game. There was no satisfaction. You’re speaking your opinion. That’s fine. But you need to realize what you said was all your opinion apparently.
@@sincityquinn of course, what would it be beside opinion dude? Just a little bit shame you couldn't enjoy the game.. hope you find it in other title though, like Nier Automata for anime cultist perhaps? Just saying.
Nickochione Antony I didn’t say I didn’t enjoy it. I thought the ending was cool. But the game mechanics that I mentioned were really annoying. Wasn’t a bad game but it wasn’t great to me either.
The game is very good but its not 9/10 as most outlets are giving it... if it wanst an EA game and star wars and we werent conditioned to recieving ABSOLUTE GARBAGE and calling it a game no one would give this game a second look. it would be given a 6-7/10 which is what the game is.
I disagree its the most fun i have had on a game in while. One of the most fun experiences all year for me personally. I think you just have different taste.
@@Mayorofsexytown1303 It was pretty fun, but I felt like I had played this game before, nothing felt fresh or really amazing worth a 9/10 review. It was kind of like Sekiro, but a bit worse. Kind of like tomb raider but yeah more of the same. The only scene that I was like ok this is EPIC is right after the final boss fight. If the game could have been more of that it would have been better. Also the cosmetics/things you want to hunt around the world for are absolute trash and I'm not even bothering to go collect them. Already uninstalled.
@@emich34 Yeah its just not for you, the items you collect are one of my favorite parts. Being able to customize a lightsaaber in a video game is a dream come true for me and its mtx free. Also the story had me hooked its one of my favorite time periods of starwars. I enjoyed this story a lot more than sekiro and the setting. Combat was good and not crazy over the top force powers allowing it to feel more like the films. I really enjoyed some of the characters as well like the the pilot and the sisters. For me its a solid 9/10. The only thing i can think of to make it better would be the fact some people had bugs on launch and i think it could have been longer but thats just because i want more lol. Would love a squeal.
@@Mayorofsexytown1303 Well the game should be totally for me, im a huge starwars and action game fan. Ive 100% games like the Batman Arkham trilogy, Spiderman, Bioshock etc. It sounds more like you are just fanboying and not critically looking at it. Imagine instead of just having a bunch of recolors you actually got cosmetics that looked different, or if the way you tweaked the lightsaber actually impacted the way it played. Imagine if the combat was as detailed as something like the Arkham games. Imagine if there were more than 3 lightsaber boss battles!!! that's actually the craziest part that there are only 3 boss battles like... are you kidding me!! game is nowhere close to a 9/10 and it pissess me off more because as a huge fan i really wanted a 9/10 or 10/10 game.
"The Best Star Wars Game...." Not for me. Story is okay, nothing groundbreaking new, but still enjoyable. To a certain degree... What bugs me more(Pun intended..) are the Performance Issues and that frustrating Combatsystem on higher Difficulties. I played it on my Xbox One X and it still had Issues like loosing Dialogs in Cutscences, Freezes, Bugs, Glitches and Crashes. The Game went a bit more stable after deleting the Game from my external Hard Drive and installing it on my internal Drive, but still with minor Glitches and one huge Crash (which scared the Hell outta me!) while i was fighting four Stormtroopers. Btw what's with this frikkin' Holomap?! It's sooo annoying because Floors are overlapping and that confuses me, which furthermore, makes backtraking a long and (again) annoying Game of Luck. And lastly, the End. I won't spoiler, but seriously?! That's it?! Nah...i hardly disagree. For me it's not the best Star Wars Game. Playable and enjoyable, yeah, but far from Perfect or "Best".
Tommaso Sirigu He said it’s the best Star Wars game in 10 years, maybe even more, not the best ever. The story is great, I think most Star Wars fans would agree. Great characters, a compelling storyline and fan service, as well as respawns own spin on things. It was an excellent Star Wars story, one of my favourites is recent years. I don’t think the game is as buggy as you’re making it sound but my game did crash a few times and there were some minor glitches, but not many. While not welcomed, this is usually expected with a new game and hopefully Respawn will release a patch soon. The holomap was a great addition. One of the best video game maps I’ve used. It was slightly confusing at first, only because of how intricate it is. But once you figure it out, it is extremely helpful. It shows you what paths you have yet to travel, what you can and can’t traverse, your short cuts, all of the different floor levels, elevators, entrances and exits, as well as numerous other things such as how many chests you’ve unlocked and how much of the world you’ve explored. The ending sequence was amazing, I was very happy with what they did with it. I was blown away by the appearance made, without giving anything away. The ending itself is also what I wanted it to be, it leaves us open to interpretation of what could be in store for a sequel, while also concluding the games story. So, I have to disagree with you. Also, I’m not sure what you meant about the combat system being frustrating on higher difficulties. It is such a fun combat system. Isn’t the point of higher difficulties to make combat more....difficult? Or even frustrating? All I can say is, Get better at the game?
Flying Lions Especially when people have compared the combat to Dark Souls. That alone says the combat is not going to be a simple “button mash for victory”.
I haven't played every Star Wars game by far but out of the ones I have played I would place it as the best (and yes of course, for its time). My order: 1: Fallen Order 2: Dark Forces 3: Shadows of the Empire It marries three of my favorite games: Sekiro/Souls, Uncharted and Shadows of the Empire into one amazing experience capturing most of the best aspects of each of those series/games. Now I have to convince my friend who's sworn off EA games because of their unethical behavior in the past to not punish Remedy Games for their publisher's sins (and himself as a consumer) and give it a try. The only real complaint I can think of is you only get to choose between this overly magnetic lock on that grabs the guy closest to you (rather than the one you're centered on whereas I think that type of lock on magnatism needs to have a left stick reorientation threshold where when you are clearly pursuing one target the lock on readjusts accordingly) or turning it off that makes you need to adjust your view by the right thumb stick (PS4) while you're using that thumb to hit the face buttons to attack.
@@VulturePilot I've played the first one, I just forgot about that one because I was thinking of action games rather than RPGs. It was really good too but I would still say Fallen Order tops it. I hope we see more games in both series though, for sure.
Loving this game, almost perfect. I will say, one thing that would greatly improve the combat in the game (not that is needs it much) would be to have a Nioh-like stance system. High, Mid, Low attacks and High, Mid and Low blocks/parries. add to Jedi Fallen Order 2 maybe?
From my point of view, (and sorry but is my personal opinion) there are good and bad things. The only interesting character in the game is BD-1 (all others, including Cal, are too plain to my taste), the plot is practically null and the combat system is BORING and REPETITIVE, extremely slow against elite units. The dialogs are poor. The lack of a fast travel system forces you to do very long and annoying backtracking to the ship, and you waste a lot of your gaming time doing it. The levels are HUGE and BEAUTIFUL, one of the best level systems I have ever seen, and the puzzles you find are good enough to have fun with them. The enemies are very attractive, even more the elite and special ones (purge troopers and inquisitors are incredible, and the Second Sister is simply awesome). The animations are clean and, even when the character controller is a bit clumsy and can change direction midair (I hate that) it's enjoyable and reliable. Cal is not as interesting as other Star Wars games main characters as Galen Marek (not in a million years), Iden Versio (not a Jedi but I loved Iden, such a bad girl) or even Kyle Katarn (with his very own sense of humor). I believe the graphics are important, but personality is what makes your game huge, and Cal does not have it...
I see what you did there, with your weak, halfassed virtue signal jab about the main character. Guess your right, if he was any color other than white he'd be soooo much more interesting, cause everyone knows that's how it works.
Wait until Black Friday. It’s not a bad game. But it can be very tedious and annoying. The controls and jumping are extremely frustrating. I’m about 10 hours in and there are a lot of dumb things.
The Real Obscure Yeah, if you like doing the same thing over and over again while playing with surprisingly terrible game controls. Not even the ripped off Perry system. The “why does it take 10 times to jump across the gap with this vine and why is the input lag so bad” controls.
The Real Obscure it’s not a bad game I just wish I would have waited til it was cheaper. The controls and the repeating the same thing in the same sections of the same 5 planets is just like... why? Anybody saying this game is great is lying because they’re fan boys. Cal is a terribly boring character, also.
Too many spoilers in this review. Had to dislike because of that and stop watching before all the locations were spoiled. Come on GamingBolt you have been getting sloppy of late.
I had one major issue while playing this game, at one point I fell off a cliff and when the game respawned it responded me falling off the cliff over and over and over again... I had to quit and restart from my previous checkpoint.... That's when I learned you want to meditate at every meditation spot because I lost about 35 minutes worth of gameplay
Skyrim, fallout, mass effect, batman arkham, the witcher, mgsv, uncharted 4, these are huge games with lots to do. JFO is short and saying it huge is a big lie. Also nothing in this game has 'lots of depth'. Every collectible is useless and purely cosmetic. Only steam canisters add something to the game. The lack of fast travel to your ship when this game's maps are mazes is a cheap move to artificially sum up more time. Same for not having skippable cutscenes. This game may look good and have all the star wars hype over it, but in the end it's not worth all the praise it's getting at all.
boss fights were so underwhelming and forgettable, the only really good one was with Vader and that was just "surviving" also i laughed more than taking it seriously after the FPS drops when he shot tiles at u and when he reaches u at the elevator, so awkward lmao
Having just finished I can say that I found it to be mediocre for the same reason the last Jedi mediocre but at least fallen order was not painful to finish
The story is really lame, and the gameplay is full of repetitive, mindless stiff platforming that never changes throughout the padded kit game. The blaster bolt deflection mechanic is the best thing about the game. Everything else like the badly copied and pasted souls mechanics aren’t as good as they could’ve been imo.
See EA, if you let developers do there own thing you get games like this.
But this game is still horrible though...
Nick Konopnicki How so?

I think the way it works with dying / checkpoints is that 1) If you die in battle, you respawn at the last meditation point you visited and you'll need to hit the enemy that killed you to regain XP. I think you can still get killed on your way back to that enemy and then you will have two enemies to regain XP from. You don't need to rest at the meditation point. It's enough to interact with it to save your progress there. 2) If you die by falling, you restart where you died but your health bar will decrease by a bit. I haven't tested this 100% but I think that if you die consistently without healing to the point that your health goes to 0, you'll be taken back to the last meditation point you visited. I'm not sure whether you'll be taken to the meditation point after a fixed number of failed attempts I.e. preventing you from just healing constantly as your life decreases after each fall.
I played it for 3 days. Finished it. And now I'm sad it's finished. Please get some dlc on this

They said because they believed that the player would be far too powerful and would be able to blow straight through all the areas as some are gated by upgrades needed to progress through certain parts of levels to keep from moving to far before story warrants it. But maybe they will change some things and put one in!
I’ll be doing a full play through on my channel!
Star Raider is a fantastic game. I do have enemies glitch in sometimes.
Hands down Respawn makes awesome games and this is a must cop for any star wars fan..
I'd like to give this a shot after a nice price drop. So far, I like most of what I've learned. What I am not a fan of is losing unspent experience and the means of getting them back and no fast travel. Hopefully, that won't get old and I will be able to enjoy and finish the game.
its based on dark souls bro. thats what happens in dark souls
@@lifeispain404 Yeah, I gathered that based on a few articles and videos I've come across. I never had an interest in Dark Souls so I never played and as such, I am unfamiliar with it. I like the story of this game and I think it could be fun. Force Unleashed is the first Star Wars game I played and I enjoyed the heck out of it. I'm hoping I'll enjoy this too.
It usually take less than a minute for you to get back to where you died and reclaim. Any XP you gained (you don’t have to fight everything; just run past enemies to reach section) is instantly recouped. Also, you can adjust difficulty level on the fly so if one enemy/boss is giving you really hard time, you can lower difficulty for that fight, then raise it back up. If you like Star Wars, you’ll def enjoy the game
@@Filthyanimal9 Nice. Thanks for the tip, man.
I really enjoyed it but it was far too short. Hopefully they slap some dlc on this
It would been a 10 if it was a dark side story with with all the amazing dark side force powers.
Cal's a bit.. vanilla? Man I feel like he wanted to say white so bad haha
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order is such a fun and amazing game ! 😁 I got this game when it came out last year :)
The lightsaber combat and the Force powers are amazing and the story and characters are outstanding and The Inquisitors. This game had epic bossbattles and lightsaber duels against the Inquisitors and Taron Malicos 😁.
By far better than the latest movies. Best sw game the last couple gens. Might be my goty
seriously loving the game. its a type of game that i am willing to buy the dlc if they come out with new missions
don't hope for a dlc man, support the game and spread Respawn product quality so you can get a solid sequel for this game. Hoping for dlcs is exactly what EA's planning to do to make games less enjoyable
I must say, i wasn't expecting to like this game because I'm not a big fan of any of the new SW stuff and not even the new Mandalorian series(well, so far at least it's pretty bland imo) but after a few hours I'm really liking this game. I don't know, it just feels like SW to me as far as atmosphere goes and the game is not bad at all. It's nothing new, i admit. I recently played Shadow of the Tomb Raider and this game has a lot in common with that game in terms of actual gameplay but it's a good game. It's fun, it looks great and it runs great in 1080p on an old i5 4690k, GTX 970 setup, 60 fps no problems. It does have minor microstutter but mainly during cinematics and I don't really mind. Overall i give it a 7.5 / 10.
Is combat as good as in Jedi Academy?
its more like a mixture of the witcher and dark souls
It's still no Outcast or Academy but it's definitely still the best Jedi game since the Jedi Knight series. I don't think there will ever be a better Jedi/lightsaber combat game than Jedi Outcast and Academy unless they just made a new Jedi Knight game and even then I would be worried that the gameplay still wouldn't live up to what Outcast and Academy achieved unless they brought back the original team that worked on those last 2 games.
@@heartlesslucas7781 Fallen Order takes another approach to combat. It's more cinematic and tries to look real while beeing a souls "lite" game. Jedi Outcast and Academy plays faster, the movement of the characters is outdated af, but its a good dueling game.
Frankly I dont believe games like Jedi Academy would do well those days. Imagine the Gameplay of Academy combined with the graphics of Fallen Order... it would look ridiculous and silly.
@@Junglebauer I think Academy-like combat games could do well, if devs would add a few twists. Imho Skyrim combat gives similar feeling...
I asked because I long for a game with lightsabers, in which I could cut imperials in half on different angles. I don't want to argue about the best SW game.
@@Vilissimus skyrim doesnt have angled combat?? thinking of mount and blade my guy.
Fantastic review.
This game is an easy 8.5/10. Maybe a 9. Definitely one of the better Star Wars games out there, and probably in my top 10 favorite games ever.
How are people praising the combat? The dodging is horrible. I'm not new to this kind of game at all. I dodge at the right time, but I still get hit. It makes Grand Master difficulty a lot less fun. Maybe everyone is playing on normal difficulty
It's got my game of the year if they add more content
My only complaint of this game is that it wasn't enough for a single player only story, people beat it in the first weekend! 40-50 hours of content would've been perfect!!
at least 15+ hrs needed to complete all the planet contents, that is if you don't use a walkthrough... This game is really great though, the portion is just right, and without a SIDE QUEST.
Remember the first Mass Effect? It can be finished in relatively shorter than Star Wars JFO with only the main story.
@@nickochioneantony9288 if that's good for your $60 cool, but I'm comparing to GREAT not just good length games like Witcher 3, RDR2, Nioh, GTA5, FFXV all who have at LEAST 30 hours of MAIN story content for the same $60...yea I feel cheated, zero other complaints though
@@tonybailey89 oh now if you applying cost-benefit to the game, it is a different story... surely the witcher 3 wins the $60 paradigm in term of gameplay length.
For me though, if the content as a whole is enjoyable and it has "context" for its story, then it is a good game (Journey for example, so short, but so breathtaking)... Ass'creed Odyssey meanwhile has a ton of content, lots of hours to sink in, but the contextuality of the game is so poor to the point it is not enjoyable.
@@nickochioneantony9288 that's a well supported context I must say lol, I loved AC Origins and it's DLC and enjoyed all 50-60 hours... But I skipped Odyssey all together... But on Fallen order I enjoyed it so much I just want more which I guess is more of a good than bad thing!
i just can’t trust star wars games anymore, EA scarred me with battlefront lol
Same here. It looks ok but I’m still hesitant.
@@whatfreedom7 its my game of the year. doubt you'll be dissappointed. its an average game at the very worst but one of the best star wars games best case scienerio its actually a good game that i had a blast with until the end.
You're missing out, plus i feel like its our duty to give money to this game and make EA have an incentive to make more non mtx singleplayer games
Stop smashing EA shitstain on this 2019's hidden gem. Because it is from Respawn and they deserve so much more credit for this game.
Everyone compare it to soulsborne game, BUT this Star Wars ia actually a really good game and actually fun to play, not ridiculously waste your time with punishing deaths.
Respawn nailed this game and should be considered an achievement considering they have pact with the dEAvil.
It sounds amazing but doesn’t look great. I’m so torn! Also I hate not being able to progress just because I don’t have a certain power.
The game is really fun. Imagine uncharted, Breath of the Wild, and Dark Souls all came together and then sprinkle Star Wars on top of it.
once again... Disney should stick to prequels... the sequel characters are ok but the movies they are in are terrible...force awakens was ok but all went to hell with last jedi.. I just hope that Rise of Skywalker is decent... I expect it to at least be better than attack of the clones but not worse than last jedi...I put force awakens right under the bar to attack of the clones because I guess I am the only person who appreciated that movie for what it was...the secret is that you cant screw up a prequel as bad as a sequel because if you do you will break the hell out of canon...
Great game.. has a few bugs and animation glitches but it is great and I'm sure they will release some patch fixes here and there
The souls borne formula is the best!
why did no one else have a review for this game besides IGN
I liked this review, it was fair and well argued
so are we not going to talk about it like force unleashed 1 anyone notice that or it just me
This game is amazing u like how u can fight as a Jedi but I think it would be very Interesting if u can choose to fight as a Jedi or play as a Sith for empire but that’s just my opinion. Having a choice of what side u want to fight as. Because I already beat the game in two days idk it was to easy but I’m getting off topic I think it would be interesting If u fight as a sith for the empire I mean playing as a Jedi’s for each difficulty when u beat the game each difficulty there’s really nothing else to do it would be interesting if they made it where u can fight as a sith for the next update or even when new dlc comes out they should give u at least a option to which side u can fight as at least it would make the game interesting as well just my opinion
i think i see the excitement of branching story.. but actually it is hard to do, doing all extra work costs more and the outcome is insignificant.. don't forget that this game is under EA's radar, they have their own silly deadline for a branching story game like Mass Effect Andromeda, and was it delivered? no, MEA is an embarrassment (even more hurtful for ME fans).
Star Wars JFO gives you more than 14 hours of pure STORY contents, no side mission or fetch quest. Just be grateful that Respawn can nailed this game, the sequel of this game should be exactly start from JFO ending, fvck those who hoping for a dlc at this point.
A metaphor: a masterpiece film is praised because of what it is in the execution, not because "what if it ended this/that way of the ideal term?".
Was this the Star Wars game started by Amy Hennig before E.A let her go? Only ask because we can see parts of Uncharted in this game.
No, that game was canceled outright
I don't think being a trained Padawan is just a "kid with a lightsaber"
he doesn't remember mist of his training due to the trauma attached to it.
@@Yliaster1234 but he still is able to use force powers and is still well trained with the lightsaber. He's more than just a kid with a lightsaber lol now if he didn't know any force powers and was barley able to use his saber I would have agreed with his statement
@@duomaxwell90 ...that's exactly how he starts out. with one force power and barely able to use his lightsaber.
Worst protagonist = Rey
Was this game the one that replaced Star Wars 1313? I still wish we will get that game!
It didn't "replace" anything. It just wasn't cancelled like 1313 was. It would be nice if someday 1313 became a reality, but for now I am VERY satisfied with Fallen Order.
Easier darksouls in Star wars universe
Aadharsh K Praveen Not quite. There are many similarities of course though.
Soo
So you’re not going to mention the bulky controls? Or why Cal falls even when he’s jumping across the easiest gaps. Or why when you hit an enemy they don’t stagger and they get to continue hitting you but if they hit you Cal goes flying? What about the input lag? You forgot to mention the terrible input lag that causes you to be hit even though you pressed dodge well within the sweet spot. Just saying.
the game is not made to be as boring as dynasty warriors mechanic. It will punish you for your bad decision but highly satisfying when you succeed... Trying to success for all combat encounter in this game is actually so much more enjoyable. It is basically a soulslike game where the frustration is put to minimal, great game.
Nickochione Antony I beat the game. There was no satisfaction. You’re speaking your opinion. That’s fine. But you need to realize what you said was all your opinion apparently.
@@sincityquinn of course, what would it be beside opinion dude? Just a little bit shame you couldn't enjoy the game.. hope you find it in other title though, like Nier Automata for anime cultist perhaps? Just saying.
Nickochione Antony I didn’t say I didn’t enjoy it. I thought the ending was cool. But the game mechanics that I mentioned were really annoying. Wasn’t a bad game but it wasn’t great to me either.
Ok. I may just have to download this on Gamepass 😂
The game is very good but its not 9/10 as most outlets are giving it... if it wanst an EA game and star wars and we werent conditioned to recieving ABSOLUTE GARBAGE and calling it a game no one would give this game a second look. it would be given a 6-7/10 which is what the game is.
Man i think exactly the same
I disagree its the most fun i have had on a game in while. One of the most fun experiences all year for me personally. I think you just have different taste.
@@Mayorofsexytown1303 It was pretty fun, but I felt like I had played this game before, nothing felt fresh or really amazing worth a 9/10 review. It was kind of like Sekiro, but a bit worse. Kind of like tomb raider but yeah more of the same. The only scene that I was like ok this is EPIC is right after the final boss fight. If the game could have been more of that it would have been better. Also the cosmetics/things you want to hunt around the world for are absolute trash and I'm not even bothering to go collect them. Already uninstalled.
@@emich34 Yeah its just not for you, the items you collect are one of my favorite parts. Being able to customize a lightsaaber in a video game is a dream come true for me and its mtx free. Also the story had me hooked its one of my favorite time periods of starwars. I enjoyed this story a lot more than sekiro and the setting. Combat was good and not crazy over the top force powers allowing it to feel more like the films. I really enjoyed some of the characters as well like the the pilot and the sisters. For me its a solid 9/10. The only thing i can think of to make it better would be the fact some people had bugs on launch and i think it could have been longer but thats just because i want more lol. Would love a squeal.
@@Mayorofsexytown1303 Well the game should be totally for me, im a huge starwars and action game fan. Ive 100% games like the Batman Arkham trilogy, Spiderman, Bioshock etc. It sounds more like you are just fanboying and not critically looking at it. Imagine instead of just having a bunch of recolors you actually got cosmetics that looked different, or if the way you tweaked the lightsaber actually impacted the way it played. Imagine if the combat was as detailed as something like the Arkham games. Imagine if there were more than 3 lightsaber boss battles!!! that's actually the craziest part that there are only 3 boss battles like... are you kidding me!! game is nowhere close to a 9/10 and it pissess me off more because as a huge fan i really wanted a 9/10 or 10/10 game.
"The Best Star Wars Game...."
Not for me. Story is okay, nothing groundbreaking new, but still enjoyable. To a certain degree...
What bugs me more(Pun intended..) are the Performance Issues and that frustrating Combatsystem on higher Difficulties. I played it on my Xbox One X and it still had Issues like loosing Dialogs in Cutscences, Freezes, Bugs, Glitches and Crashes.
The Game went a bit more stable after deleting the Game from my external Hard Drive and installing it on my internal Drive, but still with minor Glitches and one huge Crash (which scared the Hell outta me!) while i was fighting four Stormtroopers.
Btw what's with this frikkin' Holomap?! It's sooo annoying because Floors are overlapping and that confuses me, which furthermore, makes backtraking a long and (again) annoying Game of Luck.
And lastly, the End. I won't spoiler, but seriously?! That's it?!
Nah...i hardly disagree. For me it's not the best Star Wars Game. Playable and enjoyable, yeah, but far from Perfect or "Best".
Tommaso Sirigu He said it’s the best Star Wars game in 10 years, maybe even more, not the best ever.
The story is great, I think most Star Wars fans would agree. Great characters, a compelling storyline and fan service, as well as respawns own spin on things. It was an excellent Star Wars story, one of my favourites is recent years.
I don’t think the game is as buggy as you’re making it sound but my game did crash a few times and there were some minor glitches, but not many. While not welcomed, this is usually expected with a new game and hopefully Respawn will release a patch soon.
The holomap was a great addition. One of the best video game maps I’ve used. It was slightly confusing at first, only because of how intricate it is. But once you figure it out, it is extremely helpful. It shows you what paths you have yet to travel, what you can and can’t traverse, your short cuts, all of the different floor levels, elevators, entrances and exits, as well as numerous other things such as how many chests you’ve unlocked and how much of the world you’ve explored.
The ending sequence was amazing, I was very happy with what they did with it. I was blown away by the appearance made, without giving anything away. The ending itself is also what I wanted it to be, it leaves us open to interpretation of what could be in store for a sequel, while also concluding the games story.
So, I have to disagree with you.
Also, I’m not sure what you meant about the combat system being frustrating on higher difficulties. It is such a fun combat system. Isn’t the point of higher difficulties to make combat more....difficult? Or even frustrating? All I can say is, Get better at the game?
Flying Lions Especially when people have compared the combat to Dark Souls. That alone says the combat is not going to be a simple “button mash for victory”.
I haven't played every Star Wars game by far but out of the ones I have played I would place it as the best (and yes of course, for its time).
My order:
1: Fallen Order
2: Dark Forces
3: Shadows of the Empire
It marries three of my favorite games: Sekiro/Souls, Uncharted and Shadows of the Empire into one amazing experience capturing most of the best aspects of each of those series/games. Now I have to convince my friend who's sworn off EA games because of their unethical behavior in the past to not punish Remedy Games for their publisher's sins (and himself as a consumer) and give it a try.
The only real complaint I can think of is you only get to choose between this overly magnetic lock on that grabs the guy closest to you (rather than the one you're centered on whereas I think that type of lock on magnatism needs to have a left stick reorientation threshold where when you are clearly pursuing one target the lock on readjusts accordingly) or turning it off that makes you need to adjust your view by the right thumb stick (PS4) while you're using that thumb to hit the face buttons to attack.
Neanderthal Tom Cave Beast Sociopathic Parasite - you should really play KOTOR 1-2
@@VulturePilot I've played the first one, I just forgot about that one because I was thinking of action games rather than RPGs. It was really good too but I would still say Fallen Order tops it. I hope we see more games in both series though, for sure.
Only 3 force powers ?
Loving this game, almost perfect. I will say, one thing that would greatly improve the combat in the game (not that is needs it much) would be to have a Nioh-like stance system. High, Mid, Low attacks and High, Mid and Low blocks/parries. add to Jedi Fallen Order 2 maybe?
wish i could afford it
From my point of view, (and sorry but is my personal opinion) there are good and bad things. The only interesting character in the game is BD-1 (all others, including Cal, are too plain to my taste), the plot is practically null and the combat system is BORING and REPETITIVE, extremely slow against elite units. The dialogs are poor. The lack of a fast travel system forces you to do very long and annoying backtracking to the ship, and you waste a lot of your gaming time doing it. The levels are HUGE and BEAUTIFUL, one of the best level systems I have ever seen, and the puzzles you find are good enough to have fun with them. The enemies are very attractive, even more the elite and special ones (purge troopers and inquisitors are incredible, and the Second Sister is simply awesome). The animations are clean and, even when the character controller is a bit clumsy and can change direction midair (I hate that) it's enjoyable and reliable. Cal is not as interesting as other Star Wars games main characters as Galen Marek (not in a million years), Iden Versio (not a Jedi but I loved Iden, such a bad girl) or even Kyle Katarn (with his very own sense of humor). I believe the graphics are important, but personality is what makes your game huge, and Cal does not have it...
Obiwan best jedi of all time
I see what you did there, with your weak, halfassed virtue signal jab about the main character. Guess your right, if he was any color other than white he'd be soooo much more interesting, cause everyone knows that's how it works.
Tf you talkin about 😂
I dodged the game because it was an ea game..😴.. I feel stupid now 😥
Wait until Black Friday. It’s not a bad game. But it can be very tedious and annoying. The controls and jumping are extremely frustrating. I’m about 10 hours in and there are a lot of dumb things.
Games really good
The Real Obscure Yeah, if you like doing the same thing over and over again while playing with surprisingly terrible game controls. Not even the ripped off Perry system. The “why does it take 10 times to jump across the gap with this vine and why is the input lag so bad” controls.
The Real Obscure it’s not a bad game I just wish I would have waited til it was cheaper. The controls and the repeating the same thing in the same sections of the same 5 planets is just like... why? Anybody saying this game is great is lying because they’re fan boys. Cal is a terribly boring character, also.
They won't add any micro trsnsactions most people saying this are just using it as a excuse not to spend or can't afford it ..
How about it looks boring.
SPOILERS...SPOILERS..SPOILERS...SPOILERS
I like the game. But also no micro transactions. That's for me is already enough these days to buy a goog game
I think the question is..... is it better than force unleashed?????
yes.
In my Opinion, no.
Jayden White hell no
Fair fair. I agree looks really good but in the end he's not starkiller XD
My opinion it blows force unleashed out of the water. I even played force unleashed 2 recently.

I had one major issue while playing this game, at one point I fell off a cliff and when the game respawned it responded me falling off the cliff over and over and over again... I had to quit and restart from my previous checkpoint.... That's when I learned you want to meditate at every meditation spot because I lost about 35 minutes worth of gameplay
Even with those added 35 minutes it's a short game
Saying the collectibles in this game are engaging sounds so biased, sorry!!!
I hope they make a next gen sequel with the scale of the Witcher with cities and NPCs and vehicles and more force abilities
Mate, If you can't review a game without spoiling it you shouldn't be reviewing games
Don't watch the review then
@@LydellG4 nice logic skills...
This dude said normal lol
Yo put a spoiler warning in the title or something, you literally just gave away the whole intro to the game
This is why I just skip to the final score ;)
Vanillia Kal? Would you rather have a black transsexual purple haired Kal who identifies as a Jedi?
Most puzzles are playing football with the force!! It makes no sense.
Skyrim, fallout, mass effect, batman arkham, the witcher, mgsv, uncharted 4, these are huge games with lots to do. JFO is short and saying it huge is a big lie. Also nothing in this game has 'lots of depth'. Every collectible is useless and purely cosmetic. Only steam canisters add something to the game. The lack of fast travel to your ship when this game's maps are mazes is a cheap move to artificially sum up more time. Same for not having skippable cutscenes. This game may look good and have all the star wars hype over it, but in the end it's not worth all the praise it's getting at all.

No need to play the game. You gave it all out. The game was great.
This game can be so god damn annoying.
So.. it's open world..? Kinda. I like that.
Metroidvania
Jonathan Abrams no it's not open world. It's a platformer
The force may be strong but in time the mircotransactions they add will be stronger
Jay Ghost doubt they will coz why add them to a single player game
Oh, go home... and stop complaining about things that aren’t there.
Stop fishing it’s been told since beginning there would be no microtransactions. I have spoken.
Cracked already
my man
Having just finished I can say that I found it to be mediocre for the same reason the last Jedi mediocre but at least fallen order was not painful to finish
The story is really lame, and the gameplay is full of repetitive, mindless stiff platforming that never changes throughout the padded kit game. The blaster bolt deflection mechanic is the best thing about the game. Everything else like the badly copied and pasted souls mechanics aren’t as good as they could’ve been imo.
