Arguably some of the best Star Wars gaming I've had in a really, really long time. Like most games trying to imitate FromSoft's combat style, the battles are just not quite like momma Miyazaki makes 'em, but everything around it works so much better than the fighting. The platforming is slick, the Metroidvania mechanics are rewarding and the story is really fun. If Respawn can do this again for a third outing, they'll have the best Star Wars trilogy since the prequels. Let's just hope they don't let the magical ewok-shaped spirit of George Lucas take over their bodies and make Cal Obi-Wan Kenobi's illegitimate son or some shit... in a world post the papa-Palpatine twist, you really can't assume that wouldn't happen.
