- Thanks to EA for the review code!
As stated in my review of Jedi Fallen Order, it was the best Star Wars game since KOTOR in my book. To get a high quality Star Wars title without any waiting, patching, or canceling involved felt incredible. With that said, the stakes now grow even higher for Jedi Survivor and I'm pleased to say that this game expands on the original in every conceivable way while delivering a much more personal tale this time around. Indeed, Jedi Survivor made Matty say the forbidden word.

I see some folks coming in here following the controversy surrounding Jedi Survivor's performance and acting like this was not accounted for based on my experience with the game ahead of launch in this review. I speak at length about it starting at 6:50 and issue multiple warnings on *what I was told* about PC and *what I experienced* on PS5. It's a shame to see how the performance ended up following the patches for the game as it seems to made it far worse compared to what I played. You can see the in the gameplay of the video for yourself that was I experienced was a far cry from what is available online. EA looks to be submitting more patches for the game, but we'll see if it gets better (or worse) from there. I hope it gets better because the story and gameplay here are marvelous and absolutely worth experiencing.
I’m a big fan of yours MM and always appreciate your balance between fair and fandom on D1R’s. You most certainly brought attention to the performance issues so not sure why all the unnecessary blowback?? I installed the game on Monday and thought there was something wrong with my system the exp was that bad (7700x running a 79000xt)😮 3 crashes and sub 60fps with lows in the teens in the first hour. I found this video and a few others that were very helpful to understand the current situation. I’m a huge SW fan and cant wait to jump further into the gameplay and new storylines of Survivor once future patches (that work) are released . Thanks again for all your hard work creating amazing content. Staying sexy and active on this end bro 😂 ✌️
Side note - Starfield won’t have these same performance issues post launch will they………😬
My man shit his pants over redfall shipping at 30 FPS but this game is fine when so many players can barely get a consistent 30 FPS playing this?
@@williamstump2197cus the game at the least has quality and performance mode, red fall has only one
I only watched 3 minutes of this video as you confidently talked about the game in a great to perfect sense with no mention of performance. I stopped watching as I wanted no spoilers of both story and visual. I got the game and boy was I so disappointed. Sorry but I felt you did a huge disservice to your community with this review. You definitely should of mentioned the glaring issue off the bat within the first two minutes and called the title "perfect but flawed" or something of the sort, that way we would be aware of that issue and decide afterwards. If you did this, I definitely would of not bought the game and waited until the patch came. I could of gotten this game a lot cheaper than full price and this review made me pay for that. Sorry but in my eyes you went from credible to not so credible anymore. You aren't down there with game journalist terrible non-credible but you definitely went down a few notches. You seem like a nice dude and all but damn.... my already distrust in video games these days went down even further after this.
🤑
I hope this along with Fallen Order can serve as examples of what great single-player Star Wars games can be made. We're finally back to that Star Wars 1313 era
Apex legends, Titanfall, star wars are all amazing under respawn.
Me too mate!! Love me some good single player games
Single player game which does not work without downloading it from the internet...
most games are single player🤷🏼♂️
it will never happen
I was just blown away by how much bigger and better the game was than fallen order. I mean way bigger and way better. What an incredible experience I had with the game
It is good to hear that people aren’t falling in the trap of social media complaints, I agree with everything you said so much more and fast travel was nice to have I’m loving this game
Never thought I’d say it, but with their last few single player releases, it seems like something has finally clicked over there at EA. Genuinely intrigued to see if they can continue this streak with their other devs… BioWare especially 😅
Yh hoping the new dragon age is good and ik its a long wait but hope they can do the same with mass effect 4.
I know it was already first made in 2008 but dead space remake was just brilliant for me, and Jedi survivor looks like another hit
I really hope they pull it off with DA4, but judging from the leaks that I've seen, it makes me really skeptical for the gameplay to be good as the previous games.
No the performance is garbage
@@gamesmaster1060 on what PC?
The only thing I really didn't like about Fallen Order was the world map - it was so difficult to read the way they did it as a hologram. You basically had to rely on photographic memory to get around.
And the backtracking through the levels
The puzzles. That damn puzzle that involved all those spheres. Still loved the game as a whole though
I played only a little of the previous star wars and I agree, i was too lost on where to go next and maybe this new one would be easier to navigate
@@johnson24811 this is why I quit
They did Darth Vader justice in the end the way he is presented in the story is brilliant with the sister being terrified of her failures and what awaits her.
How come NONE of these REVIEWERS are mentioning the horrible PC performance on Jedi Survivor? I am running a 3080TI and I can’t run at 2k on medium settings 60 FPS. I am absolutely fed up with this garbage.
At least you can play at all, I cant even get to the main menu ffs
That’s really bad. I haven’t heard of a PC version that bad in years. Not even The Last of Us Part 1 is that bad on PC.
He did mention it almost halfway though
It's garbage on PS5 as well. Fucking stutter fest, screen tearing, frame rate drops down into 20s on performance mode. Not to mention it looks like straight shit on performance mode.
13:20 Nah, I don’t think this is nit picky at all. Traversing levels was one of the biggest pains in my ass while playing Fallen Order, especially since you couldn’t warp between meditation areas. It was so bad that it made me not want to go back and pick up the collectibles I had missed.
You just need to reallocate some of your skill points into patience my man
@@truesdemon1644 Nah. It’s unforgivable in my opinion. I actually stopped playing after I realized I had to find my way back to the beginning of the long, convoluted level every time.
When a game feels like it’s deliberately wasting your time in a way which has been long since solved by every other developer in this genre of game, I don’t blame anyone for being frustrated.
@@totezmcgotez44 yeah i understand that sentiment completely. it’s a very jarring experience in a metroidvania style game when you have to go back to the beginning without fast travel. it’s the main reason why i only played fallen order once. With that said, survivor looks like it does nothing but improve on everything fallen order built.
@@totezmcgotez44 idk i don't think it was that bad. Could be like elden ring which is like fallen order x10. When i went around trying to do everything in the game i was constantly looking at the map
Three games I had high hopes for Dead space remake, REV4 remake, and Jedi Survivor the fact that all them look so damn good this year tells me this is a good year for 🎮
All of these get even better if you own a PC 🖥️
@@TapTwoCounterspell It wouldn’t make a difference either way no right?
@@TapTwoCounterspell apparently the Jedi survivor PC Port is trash unfortunately.
Completely agreed man. The 3 I was looking for this year are all great.
@@TapTwoCounterspell All of those ports are fucking trash sadly and I hate it. The superior experience is unfortunately NOT pc as it’s supposed to be
The PC port is objectively speaking bad. Game is great but the bugs really mess with the immersion. Cutscenes are hilarious, unironically
This is the only reason I’ve played this series on Xbox. The first game still stutters on PC years later. Such a shame.
They actually managed to impress me with the horrible optimization. Well done
Yeha the pc port is bad, ps5 looks but janky in performance mode and is the first game I’ve played in resolution mode, but it’s a lot better on console which is suprising
@@lukebrunker264 if you've been following pc ports for any amount of time you would not be surprised. This is basically industry standard at this point.
@@PandaBearJellyyep it's unfortunate as I own a great pc but I don't really play the latest games unless it's a good port I use it for many games not available on consoles. I do wish I could get more games day 1 on PC and be confident but you just can't these days so I own a ps5 as an option.
I kinda disagree with "wait till the credits roll to explore non-story stuff"
It can be annoying constantly coming across obstacles you can't overcome without a specific ability, but you'd be missing out on a TON of health upgrades, force upgrades, skill points, perks, and perk slot upgrades that can make a huge difference to how capable Cal is throughout the game
I'm not a big Star Wars fan (though I loved KOTOR) but I really enjoyed Fallen Order so I'm looking forward to this one. glad to hear it delivers
Fallen Order was a piece of shit.
@@bassage13 in a vacuum yeah I guess you could say that. trust me I'd be a lot happier if we got more games like the original Deus Ex, but that's not happening. however looking at the current state of the gaming industry it was good, which sucks but what can you do. after a billion mediocre soulless AAA live service games it was nice to see EA dares to publish single player games again
Matty has a 100% strike rate with the "P-word".
Beware guys, the game is busted on the PC.
It's not exactly bug free on console either.
Matty you really need to start mentioning the games performance in your reviews.
I can’t believe you got me to buy this broken fucking mess, constant fps issues, nearly unplayable due to bugs constant crashes and screen tearing! Repeating loops of cutscenes. Like wtf man I trusted you
Really love your review… Everybody likes to hear a good positive review, but it sounds like the team developing this game. Really put some heart and soul into it. Thanks for your posting.
Cal is in my top 5 fav Star Wars characters list. He’s the Kyle Katarn of the younger generation, and as a 31 year old SW nerd. I’m here for it.
From what I’ve gathered from most reviews, Survivor is an improvement in every way - only downside I’ve heard is some reviewers thinking the story isn’t as strong, but from what I gathered, it feels as though Survivors story essentially got the Andor treatment - which I think is the best Star Wars story telling currently. So doubly excited on that end.
Pc performance sucks
I guess PC performance isn’t very good though. But I’m on PS5 and it’s fine
Actually the story and characters are much better than fallen order.
I always come to your channel for honest reviews man. You are the best in the business. Great job!
The reviews from people who didnt sell their souls to corporations : Spawn Wave - game runs like crap. Even he said it. Mutahar - game runs like crap. Steam reviews - Mostly negative. Born2Game - game runs like crap. MrSelloutPlays - game is perfect.
Can’t wait to play this. I’m so glad they still kept the difficulty settings because if not, I wouldn’t been able to play the game I’m not into souls type of games. 😂
It feels so much cooler wiping a room in a higher difficulty though
Then you don't deserve to play games. Go read a book.
@@crumpetsNskin on grandmaster the bosses 1 shot u thats not fun and ive beatin every souls game
hmm. now that everyone's reviews are out, this is looking a bit odd.
Right!?
IM SO EXCITED HOLY SHIT. This is gonna be a celebration for all star wars fans
"They have delivered before and never got their roses" what a great way to put it. Arkane is a great studio.
I’m just now finally finishing the first one. I remember I stopped playing it because the map was so bad and hard to find your way around. But I finally got the hang of it and finishing it for the sequel. Glad to know it’s a good sequel.
I have a question how did you navigate the map because I feel like it's worst in this game for me
@@sethmende I rarely ever use that horrendous map. It’s absolutely awful. Only when I need to see the general direction of objectives. The second game map was easier to read but still awful.
@@The_Primary_Axiom I have to half the time or more
@@sethmende Yes me too, I just look to see the direction the objective is but it never helps me find my way around.
@@sethmendeit’s bro it’s fixed up a lot from the last game
Excellent review, Matty! I've recently started getting into your content and it has been just EXCELLENT. I love listening to you talk about games and this is easily a top tier review. Excited to try Survivor out when I get the chance, you really helped make me a bit more excited for it.
Apex legends, Titanfall, star wars are all amazing under respawn.
this comment speaks for me also... well spoken! 10/10 comment :)
you just got me even more hyped
Your comparison to Arkham Asylum and arkham city was EXACTLY how it felt for me too.
Getting to where I don’t trust Matty’s opinion on Star Wars
Just got it for 40$ with the holiday sales going on. This game looks incredibly good. On ps5 it runs and plays great now
6 and a half minutes in, I can genuinely feel how much Matty wants to gush about how good this game and the story is. Never change man, you and Cogs genuine love for games and what you do is why I listen to DD and I've never owned an Xbox. I do have pc game pass, but the listen is a very serious compliment
Now I’m sad that I fished it because it’s was an incredible experience for me. I live for these games
Should have went Ham on the performance cause the day 1 patch didnt help at all. I think its hard to recommend a great game with bad performance
gotta say i really appreciate the manaan music in the background you never fail to show out as a kotor fan WAITING ON THAT PLAYTHRU FOR THE REMAKE CANT WAITTTTTTTT
I can't tell you how happy I am to hear the the story is outstanding!! From everything I've seen so far I have been very confident that the gameplay would be amazing, but i honestly care the most about the story. I love Fallen Order largely for the story, so I am so relieved to hear that you loved the story!
I cannot wait to jump into this world and experience Cal's story once again!!
Day one performance on ps5 is piss poor, not a good launch at all.
Imagine owning a PC with a 4090 and getting bad peformance... it's awful for every platform
Perfect 30fps on the 4090
YES, THANK THE DEVS, They could've not make you any game.
Finally someone actually giving a good review, most people lose their crap over performance issues and they look past everything else. The story is great, I aint gonna go into detail cuz spoilers and the combat is AMAZING! The combat is just expanded on and improved every single way. Like I understand but I never had any issues besides like 2 bugs and one crash. Also I am on pc so idk why ppl r bugging.
this game was great. It built on the first one and made some of the pain points so much better. the one major gripe I had is it consistantly crashed reputedly after 2-4 hours of gameplay
I find the thumbnail of this video really misleading considering all the major performance issues that have been so widely noted. A perfect game with major performance issues ceases to be a perfect game.
I look forward to playing this when the price drops $30 bucks.
Great spoiler free review Matty, thank you for such a complete and fair review. Can't wait to play...
I’ll probably get it this summer when it’s on sale. Gotta save cash right now.
Rip
My plans to get EA premium for a month and smash this and dead space off in 1 month
Get a job.
I love Star Wars, to me the first game may me love the franchise more. Excited to add to my game library🎉❤
Awesome review. Gives me just enough hype and info without spoiling anything!
Your doing your viewers a disservice by not putting performance front and centre (yes, even on next gen). It might be “the perfect sequel” when patched but to call it that now is disingenuous as well as a disservice.
and here we are today. patched and better
does anyone else find it, let's say "odd", that games can pan among players and have poor reviews publicly but every "reviewer" on youtube always has good reviews about those games?
they are either fanboys that eat up anything or simply want to be in the good graces of companies to continue to recieve early access/free copies/other perks. usually both
@@thanksgivingh6185 it's the later. they know they're lying about at least some of these games.
Mattys the type of guy who eats avocado toast in the morning while listening to Beatle vinyls drinking a turmeric latte
Tumeric latte sounds goodb
I could feel your enthusiasm for this game through the screen. Great review Matty
It's a framrate disaster. It has dialog issues. The list is long. Day one patch is out. They have weeks, not days, but weeks of patches are coming. The game could be great if they fixed it. Like Reddall, it was not ready for release. Which is the norm these days with games.
just beat the game. THAT was intense.
My only concern is the reports of PC frame drop and stutter issues. I hope the day one patch improves it.
I'm glad I didn't watch this video before I cancel the order. "perfect"? wtf
Excellent review Matty! (Love the KOTOR music btw) I really enjoyed Fallen Order, but the platforming was my least favorite, sounds like they turned it up to 11 in this game haha. I'm definitely going to check this out, but I might wait for some performance patches first. Besides, I'm in the middle of a Cyberpunk playthrough. I'm really happy to see the return of high-quality single- player Star Wars games!
I've been waiting for this and your review. I've had the deluxe on pre-purchase since it became available.
Thanks alot Matt, really appreciate this one
YES YES YES. Finally played Jedi Fallen Order recently and loved it but had some minor nags with the combat. SO hyped to hear this is delivering that but on a whole new level.
“Jedi Survivor took everything in fallen order and found a way to improve it!”
“Sweet! So the map is easier to read right?”
“…”
“…they made the map easier to read right?”😂😂😭
🌞
The first games map wasn’t difficult to read.
@@evanbelisle8464 respectfully disagree, at least for me it was the main reason I never spent the time to get the platinum, the 3D interface was not jiving with the navigational part of my brain. Had the same issue with Ragnarok to a certain extent but Jedi’s color palatine exasperated it
I wouldn’t say perfect… I had so many game glitches and random freezes that kicked me out of the game, had to start so many parts over that I almost quit playing entirely. That was on PS5, I’m sure many other people could attest to this.
Please watch Skill Up & ACG’s reviews..this game is seriously broken, no offense to Matty his experience is his experience but I wish it wasn’t busted…
You too can equip Cal Kestis with a Mr Matty hair and beard...
I’ve seen a lot of complaints about the FPS and stuff, but from what I have seen it’s completely fine. So far I’m enjoying it😂
What platform? I'm waiting as I want a flawless experience or as close as possible as I loved the first and can't wait for this
not on the fucking pc, I AM THIS close to just quit gaming
Getting kind of bored of being given shitty ports when the PC platform is the biggest it's ever been, it's mind numbing to me that publisher's are still skimping out on putting in the time, effort and money to get these games across the finish line properly.
I love how this game actually makes troopers dangerous
“Perfect” Matty wants to make sure he’s in good standing with EA I see ✌️
I just want to shout out Matty plays for all the KOTOR music in the background. You're a real one sir.
Ah one of my favourite reviewers gets a game early, good on ya Matty (i can't wait for this game, the first one was the one Soulslike i got into, it's not usually my game or genre but Jedi Fallen Order clicked with me and i LOVED it) Yet another game for the ever growing list of games i need to buy, thanks for the review Matty :)
Glad this game is good, never expected the day EA does something good
Every jedi wants to swing his light saber around from time to time , nam sayin
Hogwarts a 7 without the IP? Sorry but that game was good with or without the Harry Potter name.
7 is good….
Yeah, I don’t get that at all.
This is the best review of the game I've heard yet. So much better than the one's just saying the game sucks due to PC issues.
Hope we get live action Cal at some point.
It would make perfect sense, since Cal is identical to his actor
Not every game needs a fucking live action adaptation. Fucking hell you people.
The PC version seems to be absolute dogshit so I'll be waiting for fixes and a steep discount.
Hogwarts Legacy was a genuinely great game. It was not at all just because it was Harry Potter.
Yup, it was a Fable game with a coat of HP paint.
I didn’t know you had another channel! I’ve only seen Retro Rebound but i’m glad this showed up in my recommended. I love those videos and I can’t wait to get more content
Like your channel a lot dude. Love the theme and attitude towards content we love
First! Good news folks--it's a banger!
Great game covered with bugs and performance issues. Still there is a great game under all that, if they fix bugs/performance in 1 years its a golden game. I would love an option to refight bosses - Like Sekiro has. This game is a Sekiro like game mostly, but easier. Lightsaber combat is the coolest, platforming is cool, remind me of prince of Persia, what i hate is killing bushes for seeds, exploring toon much for some cosmetics etc, they should remove like 50% of the exploring, or if i explore let me explore/platform to the top of a mountain and get a cool side boss battle that takes like 10 minutes and its epic. Every exploration or platforming should end with some combat, we play these for the lightsaber fights lets be real.
Even though I bought and binged the hell out of BG3 on PC, I'm going to buy it on Xbox as well.
I'm sort of a digital sellout and don't care much about physical editions anymore, but sometimes I change my tune. I'll absolutely be getting the deluxe physical edition FOR $80, NOT LIKE $100+!?.
Larian is such a wonderful studio. I don't mind double dipping for quality.
IF ONLY……it was perfect. I’d be interested to see if your review copy was as bad as the release version. Or did you take the word of the developers that the game will run better after the Day One patch? This game is far from “Perfect”.
Why do you look so sad in the thumbnail here is a hug 🤗
Yay, very excited to play tomorrow!
Man what I wouldn't give to see Respawn take a crack at some kind of sequel/remake for Star Wars Bounty Hunter, or even a Mandalorian game that works similarly. Would be amazing to see the concepts from that game realized with modern graphics and third person shooting mechanics, the shooting could work similar to RDR2 where you could either aim and shoot or rapid fire from the hip, and could incorporate that into melee fighting combos. They could make it open world with the player picking and choosing which bounties to accept, and use the jetpack to get around. Ugh, there's just so much potential that I'm shocked there hasn't been a single triple A attempt at a SW: Bounty Hunter game since the PS2 era
the first game is one of my favorites now. it's the perfect mix of uncharted and a souls like
Apex legends, Titanfall, star wars are all amazing under respawn.
Respawn devs are awesome.
"There are ziplines across giant chasms..."
Have you _seen_ the Star Wars films? The Empire sure does love its giant pits and chasms, and apparently has never heard of railings. There's nothing more quintessentially Star Wars than bewildering level design!
Great review, but man the KOTOR 2 soundtrack in the background made me so nostalgic
Hopefully there's more Jedi vs Jedi (lightsaber vs lightsaber) fights than Fallen Order.
Yes Matty, preach! Ive been saying this! Star Wars Jedi Survivor is one of the best Star Wars games we've ever gotten. The story gave me "the old republic" vibes sometimes. Absolutely amazing. Cal is in my Top 5 for favorite Star Wars characters, canon and non canon.
Also little treat. Change FOV to Narrowest with HUD off. Looks like a Santa Monica Studio's game. Very fun way to play.
Who knew we would have this type of a Gem in Star Wars again. So many failures on the opposite end of Star Wars. I’m glad it stays true and genuine with the story, characters and mood. Truly hits all the Star Wars beats with love and it shows. I am extremely excited to see what’s next for Cal. The Dark Side looms ever closer to Cals greatest quest yet.
Star Wars golden age finally maybe?!
It’s so hard to muster excitement for Star Wars these days
I can't wait to buy this game once they fix the abysmal performance on PC.
Loving the KOTOR 2 background music!!
So you call it a perfect game but half way through your review it becomes plainly obvious it is not a perfect game! 🤔
I love this souls-like approach. However, Star Wars deserves a Witcher-like experience where you can go to different planets, hunt bounties and do missions in procedural Open World. Such a waste to not work with multiple studios for multiple SW games.
It´s end of April and we already got several absolute bangers. And now this. I feel really good about gaming in 2023.
I've been looking forward to this - Darth Tyrannus.
I just finished the game and WOW!!!! I love it so so much. Cal is even becoming one of my favorite Jedi.
I loved the first game. I really never though about a sequel but I can tell you now I’m definitely going to be anticipating the 3rd game.
These are easily the best Star Wars games we have ever gotten. Good job RESPAWN. Please fix the performance issues tho.
Cal is alright. He's no Star Killer
Just imagine Destiny 2 and StarWars Jedi Suviver had a baby🤯😱 I would be hooked for life 🙌🏼 great cover on the game @MrMattyPlays 👍🏼
So glad this game came out so amazing. I was worried we'd have another The Force Unleashed 2, but I was dead wrong. Respawn, you outdid yourselves again, huge credit. EA, you deserve a tiny bit of credit for what you've done for SW games the last four years.
glad to have bought it a year later after release bugs free and at half price. Really good game so far!
Thats why Im here . The game is 50% off on PS store. Hoping the game is as fun as fallen Oder was .
Fextralife played it on Series X and said performance was immaculate after the patch on the 25th 👀
Great use of the KotOR Manaan theme in the background.
