I like how different it was from DKC, except needing to collect the KONG letters to save after a level is BS.

Killer Instinct (SNES)

So I normally would not count it as beating a fighting game just by beating the arcade mode once, but here I am doing that because I don't like this game or understand how to play it. I mainly just used Orchid's upward swing over and over and eventually won through attrition. I'll probably never play this one again.
Cinders forward-forward-Y is probably the easiest way to get through it

If you haven't already, get the Octogon Rod for Vivi from Esto Garza (I forget if you have access to this yet but if you don't, you will real soon).
I missed this on my first playthrough and was deeply frustrated when I realized it was the only way to get those spells.

Wait, what are they???
A 2015 storyline revised Wanda's origin, establishing that her superhuman traits are entirely a result of experimentation done by the High Evolutionary and on inherited magic abilities. Like Franklin Richards and other characters, her genetics were such that standard X-gene tests gave a false positive, meaning she was never actually born a mutant.

The 20152017 Scarlet Witch series reveals Wanda and Pietro's adopted parents Django and Marya Maximoff are biologically their aunt and uncle. Their real mother is confirmed to be Natalya Maximoff, the previous Scarlet Witch, a sorceress whose father was the Scarlet Warlock.

Game Informer - 9.25/10
Developer Respawn Entertainment clearly took a measured and thoughtful approach to analyze what worked and what didnt in its last Star Wars game, and Jedi: Survivor feels like a worthy attempt at evolution. It captures the magic of Star Wars as well as anything in the current canon, and its a stellar adventure in its own right. Still, nailing the fantasy of being a Jedi? Doesnt hurt.
https://www.gameinformer.com/review/star-wars (remove space) -jedi-survivor/capturing-the-fantasy

GameSpot - 8/10
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor builds on the already-winning formula of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order by making Cal Kestis a more powerful and resourceful Jedi Knight, while also upping the stakes and the challenges he's facing. Exhilarating lightsaber combat and physics-defying platforming puzzle challenges remain the best part of Respawn's latest Star Wars game, but Survivor also makes big swings with its story this time around. Cal's quest takes him to new corners of the galaxy, but the most compelling journey he makes is an introspective one. Survivor is a very well-written tale about overcoming fear, and it's the Jedi story I've wanted for a long time.
https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/star-wars- (remove space) jedi-survivor-review-fear-itself/1900-6418060/

Easy Allies - 9/10
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is an excellent sequel that expands upon the strengths of its predecessor and introduces great new ideas. Exploration is engaging, and visiting each of its vast and detailed locations is a pleasure. Combat is satisfying with some solid new additions, and its story keeps you invested until the end. It's a fantastic sequel and one of the best Star Wars games around.
https://youtu.be/FCCXU6Ot7hc

IGN - 9/10
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes what Fallen Order achieved and wall-runs with it, then double-jumps and air-dashes straight into an epic lightsaber battle. Rather than taking us back to square one to begin Cals journey as a Padawan again, were trusted with control of a full-fledged Jedi Knight who we can grow into a master of superhuman mobility and fantastic and challenging combat. With a new set of larger, more diverse, and densely packed worlds to explore and a memorable cast of returning characters, Survivor tells a story that may be predictable but is still fun and at times emotional to watch play out. Launch performance issues aside, its a sequel that does virtually everything better than the original which was already an exceptional Star Wars game. If Respawn makes one more like this itll complete the best Star Wars trilogy in 30 years, hands down.
