I must thank this game for convincing me to finally delve deeper into the Star Wars franchise so much that after finishing the game, I immediately went to watch the films and TV shows because I fell in love with the lore and the world of Star Wars.

The game in itself, was brilliant and tackled a personal story of our protagonist, Cal Kastis. That is what I liked about it the most that it wasn't some grandiose 'save the universe' type of story but a personal one for Cal. We witness him accepting defeat, and all of what he did against the empire was meaningless, as the empire kept growing and growing, and Cal kept losing friends, it began to take a toll on him. We saw what Cal could be if he continued his hopeless fight against the empire. It felt toshing, and the surprise at the end of the game was very well done. The side characters were excellent and supported what the game wanted to deliver.

The gameplay and the exploring were so much fun. The gameplay has tons of abilities from the first game already unlocked. The lightsabre stances were pretty diverse and unique. We have five stances, and all of them offer a different gameplay style. The exploration was spot on. Everywhere I go, I want to discover it, and thankfully, there is always some reward. Every time I unlocked a new ability, I backtracked to open a chest I was not able to open before, etc.

I loved this game, and I hope for many more from the Star Wars franchise. I recommend it, especially after playing the first game.

Just one note, the game runs horribly.
