[h2]Verdict[/h2]
✅ Recommended, but with serious reservations
A good Star Wars souls-like adventure, but weaker than Fallen Order for me and technically much more frustrating.
[h2]My history with the game[/h2]
I finished Star Wars Jedi: Survivor for the first time on Steam after 18.2 hours.
I played it because I also finished Jedi: Fallen Order before, and I liked that game. Because of that, I was curious where the story of Cal Kestis would go next.
Unfortunately, while I still enjoyed parts of Survivor, I think Fallen Order left a much stronger impression on me.

[h2]What I liked[/h2]
* The core gameplay is still fun.
* Combat, exploration, platforming, Force powers, and lightsaber fighting work well enough.
* If you like souls-like games, there is definitely something here for you.
* As a Star Wars fan, I still enjoyed being in this universe again.
* It is a decent story-focused action adventure if you want something around 18 hours long.
* Some moments still have that Star Wars atmosphere.
[h2]What didn’t work for me[/h2]
* The technical state was the biggest problem.
* Even with DLSS enabled, I had low FPS and drastic FPS drops.
* For a game of this scale, the performance really hurt the experience.
* Story-wise, it felt weak to me, especially for a Star Wars game.
* I expected more emotional impact, more memorable moments, and a stronger sense of adventure.
* The game did not give me the same wow effect that Fallen Order had.
* Some areas repeat too much.
* At times, the whole game almost felt like one long tutorial instead of a true next step.
* I do not really see myself replaying this one anytime soon.
[h2]Is it an endless game? How long to beat?[/h2]
No, this is not an endless game.
I finished it in 18.2 hours. If you focus more on exploration, side content, collectibles, and optional fights, it can take longer.
[h2]Who will love it[/h2]
You will probably enjoy Jedi: Survivor if you like Star Wars, lightsaber combat, souls-like gameplay, exploration, platforming, and story-driven action games.
If you can ignore the technical problems and weaker story, there is still a solid game here.
[h2]Replay value[/h2]
For me, replay value is low.
I finished it once, and I am glad I completed the story, but I do not feel a strong reason to return to it. Fallen Order was more memorable for me.
[h2]Final note[/h2]
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is not a bad game.
Gameplay-wise, it is still fun, and fans of Star Wars or souls-like action games can enjoy it. But technically, the game disappointed me a lot. The FPS drops were drastic even with DLSS, and the story felt surprisingly weak for Star Wars.
I hope the third game, if it continues this series, improves everything: performance, story, world design, and overall impact.
Recommended, but only if you can accept its problems.
