Finished Fallen Order (and got the platinum)

Decent game, but it kind of feels like it had a lot of content cut (whether for time/budget reasons, or to save it for a sequel). Like I would have expected at least 1-2 more planets... kind of feels like they duct taped together what they had in places (like having two tombs on Zeffo, can't help but think they moved one there after cutting a planet) and threw in a bunch of powerup requiring barriers to disguise the length by breaking it up and making you go to another planet before you could continue. Also the developers clearly weren't expecting you to backtrack, since there's all sorts of really baffling one way paths/shortcuts, doors that get locked but never get unlocked so you have to take some super roundabout path or alternate entrance to get back to where you were if you wanted to go back for what you missed.

The lightsaber boss fights were really fun, and reflecting blaster shots back at doofuses was entertaining but the skill tree was pretty small and generally force powers didn't really seem like using since they eat up force power faster than you could get it back since it doesn't regenerate on its own like stamina you have to hit something to get it back or use a stim (when you get the upgrade). Like they could have had it so that you got all your force back when you killed something (make it an upgrade or something), then the weak stormtroopers and such that die in 1 hit could be a resource and you would have a tradeoff (do you want to thin them out first so you can focus on strong enemies without worrying about getting hit, or do you save them so you can restore your force after you use it up?). And I can't help but think that there was some plans for another lightsaber style but it got cut down to one move (which I used on accident too often because it was mapped to guard+attack) again due to time/resources or to save it as a new feature for a sequel.

Graphics felt kind of off sometimes too. The creatures looked fine, the environments were a bit mixed (some of the organic/outdoor environments didn't quite seem up to par), and then some of the human characters like Cere and Cal just kind of fell into the uncanny valley. The Wookie fur was also a joke.

that covers most of it I guess.
