Fallen Order was a very enjoyable experience especially as a long time Star Wars fan but largely lacks in finding a proper direction for what the game wants to be.

The visuals for the game are extremely enjoyable especially in combat, which also feels very fluid and satisfying. The combat lends itself to very clearly being a fast paced Souls-like game which feels correct for the game. The game however seems like it wants to also be an action adventure game and those aspects dont really mesh well together. The game tries to incorporate some Souls game design of a connected world with different paths that encourage exploration but exploration in this game doesn't feel satisfying or rewarding. Even ignoring that, while most areas do look good, I do feel given the Star Wars setting more interesting and unique things can be done.

But if you do treat this game more as a typical action adventure game with souls-like combat, where you focus on the story and not much else, the whole experience was very enjoyable and I could see myself playing through this game again every now and then just for some sick lightsaber action.
