I really wish I could give this game 5 stars.
When this game is good, its peak Star Wars. This is the game that has got the closest to making you feel like you're a badass jedi. Music, graphics, voice acting, gameplay... all amazing. It has just the right amount of fanservice.

However... the traversal. It's fun moving around doing parkour as a jedi, but there's just so fucking much of it. Like, an obscene amount of your playthrough will be running on walls or climbing on walls over, and over, and over, and over again. It gets really repetitive. It gets even worse when the game becomes a "where the fuck am I" simulator, which happens all the time.

Combat is a mixed bag. It's better than the original, but I wish they focused more on big groups of weak enemies instead of one or two sponge enemies, making you break their stance 3 or 4 times before being able to kill them. I'm a jedi with a lightsaber, why is a stormtrooper giving me so much trouble? There were a couple of encounters were they had you fight 10 or so regular stormtroopers (Without posture break) and you just mow them down, it's so much fun and feels like the movies. Wish the game had more of that.

Puzzles are either mindnumbingly boring or just terribly designed. Not a good time.

Finally, the story. The epic moments are epic, but there's so much stuff that doesn't make sense or feels pointless, also a couple of predictable plot points. I'm keeping this spoiler-free but yeah, a mixed bag.

It's a very fun game, also a very frustrating game. I really hope they nail the end of the trilogy so I can give it 5 stars.
