I barely Jedi Survived.
There is some cool stuff in this game but it mostly pissed me off.
I liked the first one quite a bit (played before I started logging on backloggd). And was looking forward to this one.
I wouldn’t be the first to complain about performance and honestly performance is something I can have a pretty high tolerance for, but this game is broke to fuck and that didn’t help anything.
The combat wasn’t particularly engaging to me from a mechanics perspective. The different stances and abilities were pretty cool but especially later on when so many enemies are thrown at you (not particularly a variety of them later on either) I never felt like I could utilize everything and I got bored. (Skill issue? I don’t think so but I get older by the day).
The story pissed me off. I remember really liking the characters in the first game, and I still like them here, but they don’t have a whole lot going on. Greez has some interesting stuff early on and it didn’t go very far. Cere and Cordova have a thing going on they want to do, that’s it. Cal grapples with some things that don’t fully come together for me. The romance bit was okayyyy. The main story conceit and villains that drive it are so bad to me that I feel like I am too harsh. Dagan Gera is cool! But why he did what he did I have -6% a clue. Bode betrays everyone because of his daughter, okay, okay? His primary motivation for this boils down to “Tanallor could save both of our families, but you wanted to invite strangers”. ??????? You just don’t want…. Fellow refugees to come?? And you’re so pressed about that it’s time to murder everyone?? The ISB couldn’t have followed you there fella.
Darth Vader is back and he’s here to kill a main character real quick.
The platforming is dull.
Maybe some of the base/community building is cool but I couldn’t be bothered to dive into it since I didn’t like the main story and the game barely works.
The enjoyment I could get out of this game is mostly due to me loving Star Wars. And don’t get me wrong there were still some positives I appreciated but I don’t wanna type it out.
Watch Andor instead.
