EA's app is terrible. caused me much grief and devalued the whole experience.

i hate the collectibles system. its no replacement for a virtual economy, even a basic one. i hate having to go out into the world to specific corners to find specific rocks to get a mullet. in places clearly only accessible to jedi that can wall run. normal people dont wall run as their main method of travel like cal. id would implore the devs look to the witcher 3 here, just a basic currency exchange system, and some jobs to make them.

the "gamifying" of so many elements do a lot to break immersion. the level design for instance, is good for the mechanics in the game, but many of the structures you will traverse make no real world sense at all. rooms that are, again, only accessible by a jedi with force powers, filled with boxes???...is there a jedi janitor somewhere maintaining these mystery arcade rooms?

the planet choices are more boring this time around. with no civilization, merchants, hub areas, or anything else to actually *do* on any of them, they feel more bland.

the game made me crave a proper star wars sandbox rpg. it nailed what it was aiming for in the areas of combat and character acting, but the gameplay loop left a lot to be desired.
