Good Jedi (walk back to your ship) simulator. ;)

The Good:
  • Best solo Star Wars game we had after a long time. Thanks Respawn!
  • Beautiful art sytle and vistas.
  • Good story, compared to what EA did to us beforehand.
  • Dual-blade is in. :)

The Bad:
  • Way too much forced backtracking.
  • Pretty linear, exploration (due to blocked paths) is not much there.
  • 70% walking/running/jumping, 20% melee, 10% force. Please adjust this next time.
  • Too few force powers. Also, they kick in too late.
  • Clunky combat / movement that drags you down when you depend on it.
  • Some atrocious map / level design.
  • No ranged weapons (apart from lightsaber throw at the very end).
  • Frequent texture / asset pop-ins / slow downs.
  • Ilum could use some creatures and a Wampa cave.
  • I want my white light sabres and a full dark cloak! :(

The Verdict:
A nice Star Was game. Technical, design and other issues hold it back.
I hope Respawn can uplift the next game as they did with Titanfall II.

Score: 7.0/10 dead Shock Troopers.

P.S. Every upvote helps Ahsoka Tano.
