Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

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.

The writers if the story should win something. It has a lot of emotion and you are rooting for the good side characters. As an expert in Star Wars, I can say the developers of the game know Star Wars better than the makers of the new films. Even the short film sequences are better than any fight scenes that we saw in the sequels.

Spoiler esque: Some negative points: too many collectibles. What I miss is also a visit to the jedi temple on Coruscant, a jedi cloak. Jedi Starfighter flying would have been epic. What I think is unnecessary are the puzzles to gain sonething which takes place in a dream world.

Moreover, I need to say the game is the best Star Wars Game I ever played even above The Force Unleashed and KOTOR (sry Kotor fans).

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.

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.

Jedi: Fallen Order was like a rough draft for Jedi: Survivor. Everything you wished was different about the first game came true for the second game!

This game *can* be played without playing Fallen Order first, but I don't recommend it. I recommend playing Fallen Order straight through for story and getting to know the characters, first. It would really enhance your experience with Survivor if you had that foundation.

I gave 9/10 instead of 10/10 only because it was kinda buggy throughout, although it was nothing game-breaking. The map system was much improved from the first game, but it still had problems in this game, too. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It is beautiful, I found it immersive, and I was very invested the entire time I played.
