This is a classic case of "The first one would be better if this one didn't play so much better". Every addition made to the formula here is good, I especially loved the blaster. The world is fun to explore, the combat engaging, the story intriguing. But honestly I'd rather have had a more linear game with a more expansive and bombastic story. This isn't dark souls with wallrunning, it's a star wars game. It's at its best when you're having engaging sword duels, digging into the plot, traversing the galaxy. I had fun exploring the world, I really did, but I just would've rather seen it go another way.
Bottom line, I had fun. I got all the collectibles I cared to and customized everything in a way I liked, defeated most of the bosses (including the spawn of Oggdo, oof), and then finished the story for a nice sense of completion. For that, it was a good experience.

I wish I could've done the bounty hunting missions but my game bugged out and never unlocked those (vendor won't speak to me, bounty tab in journal just says "undiscovered". So beware, the game is still rather buggy.
