With the same repetitive gameplay throughout and not much rewarding towards the player, this game isn't for the faint hearted.

I loved this game for its simple yet intense story and amazing lightsaber combat mechanics. Jedi abilities didn't felt all that good, but the combat with lightsaber was exceptional.

It has not too much replayability, because story-wise is not too complex, but it felt so good to finish it the first time.

Have to say that it aged really well being an old game.

Disco Elysium was such a pleasant surprise to me this year. Video games with strong narratives and character development are still such a rare thing. The mechanics of the game are intertwined with the narrative in a way that makes both feel more essential. I can't wait to see and experience what developer ZA/UM creates next.

This is a very good game, and one of the best Star Wars games. The narrative pacing, sound design, and character interactions/dialog coalesce to make it instantly recognizable as authentically Star Wars. It is far from perfect however. Many of the components which surround the core experience feel hastily implemented. The map is needlessly confusing, the sliding sequences are frustrating, and some of the characters introduced later in the game are very shallow and uninteresting. More often than not, however, the core experience is so well done that these complaints are diminished.

This game compares well to the first Uncharted game. As such, I'm hoping the success of this game affords Respawn the time to make the next entry in the series truly great.

Dense atmosphere, great sound design, very pretty, but ultimately disappointing. The apparent bold and unique vision for the game's narrative devolves into something pretty generic by the end. This is a real bummer since the game starts with so much promise.

This game is the perfect fantasy game. And that’s it.

This game is the worst game I’ve ever played.

One of the most beautiful games, not just in how it looks but how it feels to play this game. My brother insisted I play it with my headphones on and I am so glad I did. Having that surround sound, being fully immersed in Senua's journey, it made this came unforgettable. The action sequences have a certain flow to them, with fighting that is more than just hack/slash, but almost like a Zelda boss...if Zelda was animated in a more realistic style. 10/10 for me.

If you want a story-driven game where choices matter, this feels like a solid choice. I picked it up on sale for $5 and it kept me guessing to the end. And it made me live with my mistakes, which was rough! I'm so used to being a bit reckless in games, only to have them roll things back for me to try again, but not this game. At the end of each chapter, it lists all the ways you failed and what opportunities you missed. That might sound awful, but really it just makes you want to play it all over again.

I just finished my first playthrough. I did not get a good ending at all, but I'm going to wait a bit to forget some of the details before I start over and see if I can do better with my choices and my skill points.

I remember putting 100s of hours into, exploring the vastness of the open world map it offered at the time. I'd see myself playing it again on Switch one day.

It was the first FF tittle that I played and was what definitely got me hooked on JRPG in the PlayStation 1 heydays. Although I wouldn't play it again nowadays anyone heart in into JRPG should give this a go.

In summary Jedi Fallen Order is fantastic. The gameplay is satisfying, the sound design is great, the graphics are aesthetically pleasing and the story is awsome. There a few negatives but they are pretty relevant within this amazing game.

The gameplay, in sumary is extremely satisfying. There are a few issues where it is buggy, resulting in falling through the map occasionally and frame rates droppping when the game renders but these are minor issues overall and can be easily overlooked especially when the game recieves its patch. It is significantly more difficult than most other star wars titles. That can mainly be put down to the combat system and is definitely not a problem. This game is not a hack and slash like the compared Force Unleashed series. The combat system is designed around patience and counter attacks, not being aggressive and reckless which I believe reflects the story in itself as the main character Cal constantly questions the consequences of his decisions in the story. The game rewards you for taking your time and thinking your way around problems, especially when exploring as you can quickly acquire higher force and health quantities if you look around planets properly. Although this is not necessary to beat the game it makes it a lot easier to complete with the upgrades recieved from exploring. You collect powers as you progress through the story and re-build Cal's connection to the force which then allows you to further explore planets you have previously visited which adds to the replayability. It is extremely replayable as you want to go back to the planets you visited to collect everything from the lightsaber customization to the ponchos and ship customization. The customization system isn't the best but it offers a great deal of options, I don't have a problem with not being able to make your own character because this game primarily tells Cal's story, a REAL story with REAL people. That is what I really want to emphasise with this review.

The story moves at a brisk yet REAL pace, everything that happens does so in a realistic time frame. What I mean to say is that most star wars content we recieve including force wielders never tells a human and satisfying story, this game changes that massively. The story feels human, all characters feel real and each of them have their scars and traumas but continue on with their journies anyway. Even the main companion BD-1 feels like he is real, all of these characters have flaws, they all have something they need to face; they all do so in this story and it results in a powerful and REAL story. The ending is satisfying and completely makes sense for these characters and their arc's. This is a very real star wars story and I think has shone light on what stories star wars is capable of. You don't see a Jedi slash his way through everything, you see a frightened and traumatised man face his fears to become something great and constantly question if what he is doing is right. This isn't just a story about a Jedi and his crew, this is a story about a man becoming a Jedi, earning that title, seeing the mental barriers along the way and learning to cope with his problems to do everything that he does in the story. This is a redmeption and development story, I love every character involved in this story. You see optimism, corruption and genuine emotional complexity in all characters which is furthered by the great voice acting and lip syncing. Overall I think that this game is incredible and is necessary to play at least once, to watch the legacy of a hero develop.
