STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor™

Before anything else: I did not have performance issues with this game. I'm running an old Vega 56, and despite all the reports about stuttering, I found some fixes online and the game ran completely fine for me. So no, this isn't a negative review because of performance. I'm giving Jedi: Survivor a thumbs down because the game sucks ass. The gameplay is frustrating, unfair, and completely unfun. I finished the campaign on the second-highest difficulty and was already ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fuming by the end. When I went back for 100% completion, I dropped it to Normal because I couldn't be bothered anymore, and the game still managed to piss me off. I've never played Dark Souls, so I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert on Soulslikes, but I've always heard that Souls games are difficult while still being fair. Jedi: Survivor rarely felt fair to me. Enemies can stun-lock you, some attacks practically one-shot you, and certain attacks have to be jumped over instead of dodged, which the game does a terrible job of communicating. Some of the Force Tears are the perfect example of this game's idea of "fun": fight two Rancors at once, fight Oggdo Bogdo and Spawn of Oggdo at once, or do some obnoxious parkour challenge where you have to get from A to B without falling to your death. They're not fun. They're just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying. Then there's the Force. You're supposed to be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Jedi, yet your Force meter is so restrictive that you can barely have fun using your abilities. Compare that to Jedi Knight or The Force Unleashed, where actually using the Force is one of the best parts of the game. Exploration is even worse. Getting 100% of the collectibles was miserable because the level design constantly turns reaching something twenty metres away into an irritating puzzle of walls, ledges, tunnels, and hidden paths. It feels like the game is deliberately designed to waste your time. And the story isn't good enough to make up for any of this. It's mid. The characters are mid. It feels like another forgettable Disney Star Wars story that will leave about as much of an impression on me as Obi-Wan Kenobi or Ahsoka did. I enjoyed Fallen Order considerably more because you actually got to meet the crew and watch their relationships develop. Here, the group has already split up, most of the characters gave me very little reason to care about them, and even the supposedly emotional moments did nothing for me. I finished the game only a couple of months ago and already barely remember the plot. I put around 76 hours into this game, finished the campaign, and got 100% completion. I still hated it. I'm currently playing RealRTCW, a free mod on Steam, and I've had more fun in its first few hours than I had during dozens of hours of this tedious mess. Farewell, Jedi: Survivor. You won't be missed.

Right so theres two reasons i give this a negative review, even though i got all achievos and put in this many hours. Reason 1, the state this game launched in. Now after many, many and i mean many patches, and some new hardware on my end, i could run this on max with almost no problems. However that doesnt excuse its terrible launch. Reason 2, ea launcher, hate it. That is all. Now the positive things. This game proves a jedi academy style rpg would work quite well, if only ea didn't controll the reigns for star wars.......

This game barely has any checkpoints and you can't manually save. If you die you basically have to replay the past 80 years again which is too exhausting - so it's a no go for me

No pude jugarlo en la consola como al primero, pero aún así lo disfruté mucho. No es perfecto, pero me encantó de todas maneras 10/10

still bugged, not playable in 2026

Que grande jornada e que grande jogo! Mesmo com os inúmeros problemas de performance, consegue ser um sucessor à altura: ótimos personagens, jogabilidade fluida e bons cenários.

За русофобию, не из-за чего, а по причине простой национальности

This looks like a fun game. Every day I hope for a patch that will let me play the damn thing.
