I'm not gonna lie, this game was more difficult than I anticipated going in. I may be just bad though, but that's not to say the game is too hard to where it's unenjoyable. It provided a nice challenge, even on Jedi Knight difficulty and the combat borrowed some elements from the souls-like genre. Save points are meditation circles, which act similar to bonfires in the essence that they respawn enemies when you use them. The main issue I have with this game though, is the map and how tedious planets are to navigate. The map is very unclear at times and does little to help you navigate if you're dealing with a multi-level area. The game follows a generally linear path, which results in a lot of back tracking if you miss something or need to return to the ship since there is no fast travel. Overall though, I enjoyed the game from a story perspective and found all the characters really likable. While it's far from perfect, I'd still recommend it when it's on sale for under $5.

Great Star Wars game.

Haven't finished it yet, but I'm enjoying it very much after playing a few hours at release and then putting it down.

As it turns out, I didn't really want a Dark Souls game set in the Star Wars universe, so starting a new playthrough on story mode has made it way more fun for me.

My only regret is I wish there were a character creator in the game instead of being stuck with the 'O'doyle Rules' kid as the main character.

It's like sekiro but worse... like way worse... like did they even try kinda worse.

No one is going to read this review, but for every like I get I will pet my cat.

The story was pretty good and engaging, and actually had a good ending.

The level design was great and the whole backtracking thing was done pretty well. The puzzles are fun although some can be a bit of a head-scratcher but nothing too annoying.

I highly recommend it, especially for those who are crazy about souls-like and swordplay games like me. The combat system is an easy solid 10 for me, good lightsaber combat styles and force abilities. The game also nailed the souls game formula very well without removing it's very own characteristic.

Dynamic and beautiful souls-like game.
9/10

You can feel the "EA" influence just dripping from this game. The budget was likely massive for this game. Many graphical elements are well done. This game has a shiny coat of paint on it.

However, the combat is just a bad Souls-clone. Parrying doesn't work consistently, and the mobs are boring creatures. The story is very bland when it could have been interesting. The progression is slow and unremarkable. There isn't much customization besides your ugly poncho. You get a cute little droid. Somehow in every star wars movie or game there is a cool droid. I guess not having to do anything besides do cool gadget ♥♥♥♥ and be cute makes for a character they can really flesh out.

It's sad because I've seen so many outlets give this game a high score. I can't see why. The map design is really bad too, you spend most of the time in cramped underground caves, backtracking, getting lost, doing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ puzzles (finding a button isn't a puzzle) and collecting items from chests that aren't worth the trouble. This game just feels like a cash grab. If it wasn't Star Wars it would be a 5/10 game.

I refunded this ♥♥♥♥♥ after a short time and did not have any fun playing it.
