Respawn really knows how to make a sequel after the success of Jedi: Fallen Order. Jedi: Survivor is a production that is better than the first game in many respects. Jedi Survivor first stands out as being open world compared to the first game. There are many planets in the game and each of them is beautifully designed. Although other planets are not designed as detailed and comprehensive as Koboh, each of them has activities to do and places to explore. You can meet many NPCs in the game, listen to their stories and receive tasks from them, and expand your space by bringing these NPCs together in a bar that acts as a hub. Side missions are generally boss battle style missions, such as bounty hunting or legendary beast killing missions. In this section, I wish there were missions that were interconnected and contained stories within themselves, because it would be nice to experience different stories in a huge open world. Apart from this, you can collect fish in the open world and expand the aquarium, or find new flower seeds and beautify your bar's garden. You can even play Sabacc at the bar as a mini game (A lot of times depends on luck but it is a gamble after all). You can find new outfits, new parts for the BD, paints, and lightsaber and blaster parts from chests in the open world. You can also buy perks, clothes, paints or parts from various shops with different collectibles that you can find on different planets. You can also explore much faster and more easily with animals that will help you travel in the open world (I wish there was a speeder :/). The game has made a lot of progress over the first game in terms of combat, first of all there are many new lightsaber stances. Stances have their own unique features and strengths/weaknesses, so you can change many of them frequently and use different combinations to suit your best play style. Combat mechanics are no different from the first game and still use the souls-like logic, but unlike the first game, the game becomes more difficult as you progress in the story and you may encounter more challenging enemies in the open world, which makes it necessary to explore and get stronger in order to progress. (Fighting without power, especially in some bosses and force tear levels, is no different from torture). I personally found the first game better in terms of story, but I'm not sure how differently it could have been done as a sequel. Many things in the story have been left as cliffhangers, which seems to prove the future of the 3rd game. The game offers tremendous image quality in 4K and OLED in terms of graphics and lighting. However, although I played the game at a stable FPS on PS 5, I experienced FPS drops from time to time, and the situation is even worse on the PC side. Reviews of the game on Steam are still mixed and not much has been done in terms of optimization yet. As a result, Jedi Survivor is a successful sequel and manages to be a great Star Wars game with the open world structure it brings to the series. The open world of each planet is beautifully designed and feels like Star Wars through and through.
As I mentioned about side missions, there could have been more detailed and connected missions, so the already well-designed open world could have been used much better, but it still offers a very enjoyable exploration experience. Another shortcoming is that it still does not have a very successful performance in terms of optimization (especially on the PC side). Although its story sounds a bit cliché, it manages to close this gap because its presentation style is quite successful. If you liked the first game, I'm sure you'll get the same pleasure from Jedi Survivor, maybe even more.
