I'll start off by saying that Star Wars is probably the single most important franchise to me. It's been my favorite for basically as long as I can remember, and was a big part of growing up. I love Star Wars to death, but the last few years have been a pretty rough patch. The first fallen order, Clone Wars S7 and Rogue One, there really isn't anything to come out of Disney's Star Wars that I really felt was special. Jedi Survivor is easily the best piece of Star Wars media in recent memory, and maybe since Revenge of the Sith.

So why 3 stars? Well, you know why, and its painfully obvious. I want to give this 5 stars, and if I purely judged it from the intended experience, it would be. I know my recent logs are filled with 5 star ratings, but I seriously think this is probably the best year for gaming in a decade, while also foreshadowing a worrying trend that seems to be increasing in frequency with every AAA release.

This game is just flat out unfinished. Every single part of the experience outside of the actual gameplay is broken, almost disgustingly so. After the patches the game was at least playable, but its embarrassing how poorly this game at release was, and its easily the worst game for it to happen to that I've ever played. This game DESERVED a working product, and shame on EA for launching it in its horrendous state.

If and when Jedi Survivor reaches a state worthy of its legacy namesake, It will without a doubt be 5 stars.
