Final Rating: 83/100
Controls: 9/10 (played on keyboard and mouse)
Controls were easy to learn and were well optimised for PC, I remapped a few buttons onto my mouse as hitting certain combinations or dodging felt easier this way. After trying the game on controller I can say that it is much more intuitive and made the game feel a bit more immersive.
Narrative: 9/10
The story was very well done, most definitely a step up from Jedi: Fallen Order. The introduction of new villains feels very well placed and adds lots of flavour and background to an already compelling goal. Certain points along the way feel a little monotonous and samey, but this can be looked over. The climax of the story I thought was fantastic and really made you feel for the characters involved.
Combat: 9/10
Combat feels great, very satisfying to time perfect parrys and perfect dodges. The skill trees also provide a great way to customise your play style and make the way you play unique. This is also true for the light saber styles, allowing you to have two equipped at a time makes changing styles for different types of encounters very rewarding.
Characters: 8/10
The characters introduced in the first game have each had a step up in terms of depth, same goes for many characters you meet along the way. Cal's character development throughout this game is fantastic and arguably one of the best parts of the game, this is also true for one other character but spoilers are to be had there.
Graphics: 8/10
The game looks absolutely fantastic, the open worlds feel immense in size and are most certainly visually appealing. There were occasional bugs here and there with objects phasing through the characters which can ruin immersion in that moment, but nothing lasting. My main complaint would be that the game is not fully optimised for PC as even on the highest graphics settings characters looked very grainy and certain textures weren't loading in correctly. This didn't bother me too much but it may be more of an issue for others.
Sound: 7/10
The music was fitting and often matched the area that you were in I personally felt as though it was nothing special. Saying that, it was well done star wars music and well suited for the game.
