STAR WARS: Shadows of the Empire is a fun and classic STAR WARS game with an surprisingly strong story and characters. However the gameplay feels quite clunky, although it must be remembered that it was an N64 title from 1997. But still the PC port is alright and even though most of the game was clunky, it was fun nonetheless. Definitely a game from a golden age of Star Wars games, but not the best of its kind. [6/10]

Star Wars: Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast is a fantastic Star Wars action-adventure game from a time when LucasArts were pumping out masterpiece after masterpiece. Outcast truly takes everything I loved from the Dark Forces games and modernize it while also improving on the aspects that already worked in the old games. While also having amazing gameplay with fluid animations and great visuals for the time.

Especially the lightsaber combat works really well this time around, it feels great to wield and the saber fights are the most fun this game has to offer. The level design also delivers some quite amazing locations, if a few repetitive ship locations over the course of the game. The story follow Kyle Katarn about 2 years after Mysteries of the Sith, where Kyle continues to aid the New Republic in the fight against the Imperial Remnants. Katarn is confronted with his choice on giving up his Lightsaber and the Force. We also see the return of some Legacy characters from the Original Trilogy which serves as a thrilling addition to the story.

There is surely a lot to enjoy in Jedi Outcast. If you like Star Wars and classic action-adventure games that offer great story and gameplay, you should give Star Wars: Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast a try.

[9/10]

Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Mysteries of the Sith is a thrilling if a bit messy continuation of Dark Forces II, where you play mainly as the legendary Star Wars Legends character of Mara Jade about 5 years after the events of Dark Forces II. This was in fact an expansion of Dark Forces II, but functions pretty much as its own game. The mechanics, graphics and level design is mostly similar to Dark Forces II, however the level design for me was a little step down, since some of the levels were quite boring and annoying to navigate at times.

The story is a mix for me, since a big chunk of the middle section of the game have very unrelated and unimportant story arcs. However when the game is focused on the "Mysteries of the Sith" in the beginning and towards the last few levels, I was hooked and had a blast. Overall the game was fun, but not on the same levels as the previous 2 games in the Jedi Knight series.

I would still recommend the game as it does provide some cool character development for both Mara Jade and Kyle Katarn. If you like these classic Star Wars action adventure games from the late 90s and early 20s, you should give this game a try.
[Score: 6.5/10]

PS!
I have finished this game, but since I used the "Mysteries of the Sith Remastered 2.0" Mod Steam did not count my hours. I would recommend playing modded since the game doesn't natively support modern day resolutions. I spent roughly 7-8 hours to finish the game.

Star Wars - Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II is a true sequel and a big improvement of the original Dark Force game. The continuation of Kyle Katarns story is more fun and exciting this time around. The gameplay has much more depth and variety, and the graphical fidelity is much improved. The live action cut-scenes were a cool and funny concept, even though a bit corny its still very memorable. So far I'm really enjoying the Jedi Knight series and looking forward to trying out the other remaining games. If you like the classic Star Wars action adventure genre and don't mind outdated visuals and gameplay mechanics I would definitely recommend Dark Forces II. (7.5/10)

PS!
I have finished the game, however since I used the "enhanced upscale JKGFX mod" Steam didn't track my hours. Would definitely recommend the mod as this game is quite old and doesn't support modern resolutions natively.

Star Wars - The Force Unleashed (2009) is a thrilling and pure chaos Star Wars experience. The way this game allows you to use the Force is insanely fun. While following the fantastic original character Galen Marek or "Starkiller" as he finds his place in this universe prior to the events of A New Hope. The story is quite interesting and allows for the player to make certain choices to affect the outcome. The Game is also very beautiful graphically, especially for a game that came out in 2009. The Force Unleashed delivers an insanely fun Star Wars single-player experience with a great story if however a bit short. Would recommend this to any Star Wars fan! (8.5/10)
