A cinematic masterpiece that captures the true soul of Star Wars through incredible visuals and thrilling lightsaber combat.
STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order is a triumphant return to form for single-player Star Wars games. Respawn Entertainment crafted an absolute visual marvel that immerses you completely in the galaxy far, far away. From the staggering scale of the Bracca junkyards to the ancient, moody ruins of Zeffo and the crimson, sun-drenched cliffs of Dathomir, every single planet is a work of art. Paired with a top-tier cinematic score and detailed character animations, simply exploring these environments delivers a massive thrill for any fan. Cal Kestis’ journey from a hidden survivor to a true Jedi Knight provides a deeply emotional, authentic story that feels like it seamlessly belongs in the main film saga.
The gameplay loop is a brilliant fusion of Soulslike combat and Metroidvania exploration. Fighting with a lightsaber feels immensely satisfying, punchy, and weighty; mastering parry timings, deflecting blaster bolts back at stormtroopers, and weaving Force pushes into your combos makes you feel like an absolute force of nature. Traversing the giant, interconnected maps using Force pulls, wall-running, and climbing ropes rewards curiosity with hidden cosmetics, lore entries, and health upgrades. The addition of your adorable droid companion, BD-1, adds a ton of heart to the journey while serving as a fantastic mechanical tool for slicing open doors and scanning alien fauna.
While the game is widely praised across the Steam community, it isn't completely without its minor technical quirks. The map system can occasionally feel a bit confusing to navigate when backtracking for 100% completion, and combat animations can sometimes suffer from slight stutter or clipping on certain PC configurations. However, these small hiccups are easily eclipsed by the sheer quality of the narrative pacing, legendary boss fights against terrifying Inquisitors, and the pure joy of wielding a lightsaber. It stands tall as an absolute mandatory play for action-adventure fans and remains one of the best single-player experiences in modern Star Wars history.
9.5/10 — I customized my lightsaber with a purple kyber crystal, Force-pushed an imperial purge trooper off a cliff, and got genuine chills during the final boss encounter. Unforgettable.
