Just one of many games in my back catalog that I want to play but will probably never actually go back and buy/play it.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

I've said it a thousand times already so I guess there's no point in going into detail. I think it doesnt do anything well and the story may as well not even be there. It's not even average imo, but if you love star wars it's a 10/10 because you'll lie to yourself about it

Solid game that I enjoyed quite a bit. I liked the story and characters, and environmental exploration was really good. Combat could feel a little clunky at times but for the most part was fun and engaging, and you unlock new moves at a pretty steady pace to keep it feeling fresh. A few fights in the game felt unfair, including one optional boss I had to cheese to beat.

Lightsaber customization needs incentive to bother using, you can barely see the in-game model so making it purely aesthetic makes it feel pointless. Gimme little damage boosts or health boosts tied to each part at least. I liked that you could find cosmetics for the ship, Cal, and BD tho.

Was a fun game. Story was fine, gameplay was fine. Nothing particularly amazing, but overall Id say its definitely good and worth a playthrough.

Would not pay full price though. If you can find it for $20-$30, its worth.

star wars dark souls is a good dark souls clone, but it sure doesn't scratch the same itch that games like jedi academy did.

thanks for the answers.

I picked it up on sale for about $23, but I haven't really gotten past the first world you explore.

Great game. One of my faves of 2019. Story is decent but not as good as the original trilogy. Coulda used more time to flesh out characters, which are interesting enough to not skip dialogue for

lol, I think that I remember one of your posts about how you felt about the game, and that was part of the inspiration for this topic.

but I was always curious about Fallen Order, and since it would likely be a long while until a deeper sale came by (digital), I took the jump

Fun game. Gameplay is good. Cal is likable. Story is fine, but it's hard to really care about it because it takes place between movie trilogies, so you know all the non-movie characters are ultimately not important at all.

I'd get the post for ya since no one's being objective with you but you might as well play it at this point. Just know it fails as a soulslike game, as an uncharted game, and as a star wars game. It has decent presentation at times, 1 (ONE) half-decent character, and one cool moment

I beat the game on the hardest difficulty and almost all of my deaths resulted from glitches. Also, IDK what that guy's talking about because on-paper none of the bosses are unfair. They're all easy

Be ready for bad pacing and a lot of backtracking with little motivation for doing so

I got it for $20 and it wasn't worth it

It's the best Star Wars game to come out in years. It has some flaws like others have mentioned but there's some good bones there to build on in a sequel.

Game is a solid 8/10. Decently fun combat, light metroidvania elements, and a pretty good story set in a timeframe that's not been super explored yet.

I wish the lightsabers had more punch. Like I understand why it is the way it is for gameplay reasons, but there is something that just feels conceptually wrong with hitting a Stormtrooper several times with a lightsaber and them not dying.

But I don't know what the solutions would be beyond ratcheting up the damage taken and received so fights are short but very dangerous.

I'm still playing through the game but I don't like it. Combat is fine but not anything special. Feels a little clunky at times. I really don't like the climbing and puzzle solving elements. The puzzles are very easy and the climbing isn't fun. I find myself thinking "What's the point of this?" during these parts of the game. The story has failed to keep my attention but I'm not a huge Star Wars fan so maybe that's why. I'm not invested in any of the characters so far, either.

I don't think it's a bad game. It's just whatever. Something I could see myself finishing then never playing it again. Also, the game feels very unpolished and it really gets on my nerves when it takes 40+ seconds to respawn on PS5. In Demon's Souls, it takes 2-4 seconds to load after a death.

ya I kinda agree with this, I did play it on pc where it ran like shit for some reason first. if it didn't have star wars shit, I probably wouldn't have played it.

Nice, it's a fun game and I hope you enjoy. I never played it a second time but would have if NG+ was a thing at launch.

Oh something I definitely want to stress tho

The enemy AI is bad. like at times they'll kill themselves or not even try to fight you bad. There's also essentially no enemy variety

a few kinds of stormtroopers varying from ranged to melee, I think one type of droid, and a couple native fauna for each planet

Excellent game overall. Combat and exploration is really fun, but there were some sections that could have used more shortcuts for when you're backtracking for collectables. Dathomir also has some annoying and confusing sections, but thankfully they're a small part of the game.

Was a great game, platinumed it and it didn't take very long even on the hardest difficulty.

I enjoyed the metroidvania aspects of it too. It feels like a classic type of action adventure game.

The story wasn't bad, and it wrapped up in a way that either leaves the story finished, or if they wanted to do a sequel they could.

I give it a 9/10.

literally the only good thing about the game is the aesthetic. there is an absurd amount of pointless platforming that serves no purpose other than to waste your time and the combat is extremely mundane and dull

I wish Star Wars games would stop making lightsabers function as essentially glowing baseball bats and Fallen Order seemed like a step in the right direction.

Yea, it should be noted that the game just recently became part of EAPlay, which you can subscribe to for $5. Game is short enough that you should be able to beat it in a month before the subscription expires.
