This game is a masterclass in story telling. There is honestly not much more I can say. If I rated it only based on the story of the game, it would be 5 stars without a shadow of a doubt.
But. Sadly there are two things about this game that I dislike, firstly the combat. I enjoy the combat enough to play the game but if I could change it to something similar to the Fallen Order combat I would.
The second part is just that sometimes the game is quite tedious, frankly it's the same with Sith Lords. It just has puzzles, and some gameplay elements that slow the pace down enough to the point where it can get a little stale.
It more than makes up for it though with the story. I honestly wish I could play this game + the sequel again without knowing what happened.

I have had the luxury to sit back and watch this game grow from back in 2016 when it was in open beta and I first purchased it.
When I buy a game, I like to imagine that every £ that goes into it equates to 1 hour of play time in the game. I believe I purchased this game for around £10-15 so for my money's worth, I would have to play around 15 hours.
I got those 15 hours in the game in the beta alone. Since then, the game has been consistently updated by an incredible dev team who have a strong focus on where they want the game to be going, and I have loved every moment of it.
It's not a game I play very often, I normally just pick it up around once a year, mostly after I watch someone play it for the first time in ages (notably, this time, it was Jerma985), and I am super glad that I did again.
The gameplay is relaxing, but incredibly engaging. The sense of progression in the game just continues and continues to give me motivation to play it. If you really want to have a game to play in the background to relax, I cannot recommend this game enough.
