I'm not really a big Star Wars guy, but I was interested hearing this was a metroidvania/soulslike type game. Sadly, those were the weakest parts of the game. While I really loved the core lightsaber fighting, all of the backtracking and other souls elements were really poorly handled and not that fun. It REALLY needed a fast travel system. Also, one of the worst maps I have used in a game in my opinion. I did love the characters and production values of this game, with a lot of really great moments. This crew is really fun, and one of the strongest aspects of the game. The set pieces were fun and exciting, and a lot of the story beats surprisingly resonated with me more than I thought they would. Even with all the flaws, I did enjoy my time and I am very excited to play the sequel in a year once all the performance issues are fixed.
