First I'd like to mention that I played for the first time in my life STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy™, 6 years ago when I build my very first pc, this very one I playing Jedi Outcast with. I had a blast playing this Jedi Academy for the first time. I remember it was hard, but everything felt really good.
Here, on Jedi Outcast what the hell? I started in normal difficulty, I killed 30 stormtroopers, it's so hard to aim, they take forever to die, I never find ammo, I never find enough medic pack. And when I find a medic pack it heals 20-30hp when I'm suppose to have 100 at max, like what the hell. And so after I killed the first 30, I was left with 15 ammo and a stick. In a huge maze... I couldn't survived. So I restarted in easy mode.
In easy mode it's pretty cool, stormtroopers miss 90% of their shot, and only deal 1 damage when they touch you. But the imperial officers still deals way more, like 5-6 per shots. Not mentionning the horrible maze, and level design that makes no sense. If I did play this game as a child, it would have been in my nightmare, taking a week to pass the very first level of the game. So in easy mode I can play, and I must have killed 100 bad boys, and I can move to the second part of the first level, with the blue+green+red symbols what the hell it was to understand how that works. At this point till I quit, I had to check 4 times the solution to know where to go because it's just absolutely not obvious.
And after killing 200 dudes or something, still in easy mode, I have still enough ammo, but like 20-30 hp. And there is still way too many dudes to kill. And I can't find medic pack. And it's a damn maze anyway. I just died because I couldn't survive anylonger without help. I'm failing easy mode AHAHAHAH xD. I can't believe I can't make it in easy mode I'm so garbage. Or this game is.
I killed like 200 dudes with a shock stick and a blaster, and I still don't have a lightsaber to deflect blasters, nor force power to heal myself, nor medic pack to heal myself. It's in easy mode XD. This game is way too hard. Or maybe because it's 2026, there is some issues that appears with new hardware, like too fast/slow stuff, character that aim too good or bad... Nah this has nothing to do with the lack of healing, ammo, and wayyyyy tooooo many stormtroopers.
For what I've read in a recent negative review, it's suppose to be like that for 7 levels, before I can finally get a lightsaber? So you mean 7 hours playing this horrible maze, without enough medic pack, healing powers, ... please xD it's easy mode xD. I'm pretty good at fps, I tend to play them in hard mode pretty often and I do it all with a classic pistol whenever I can as I just love it that way. But here this is a nightmare. Everything is bad. Except music, but well, it's star wars so it's always good music.
Just ignore this game and jump to Jedi Academy right away. That was a real game.
