Ever since Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, which were my previous favorite SW games, I was waiting for a similar Jedi game, in a more modern rendition. The two Force Unleashed games weren’t bad but they were sort of mediocre in some ways.
Then came Jedi Fallen Order in 2019 and I felt that this was almost the game I was waiting for, I liked it a lot. It had everything but I felt it was only just the beginning of better things to come.
And now I finally have it. The modern jedi knight game I was waiting for, that has everything Jedi Fallen Order had but in a better form.
Being the graphics whore I am, let me start with the visuals. This is one of the very, very few games for which I can say that, “yes, this looks next (current) gen”. I know it got a lot of flak for technical issues but I don’t care what pc problems there are, it looks breathtaking in quality mode on ps5, often feeling like playing a cg movie (I love the motion blur in it!).
Edit: I almost forgot, the animations! Outstanding animations, that help achieve this cg movie feeling.
The sounds are awesome, exactly as you‘d expect from a SW game, and the music is beautiful. Thankfully, the tone is also similar to the movies, not too serious, not too comedic, it strikes a good balance IMO.
I love the progression, that only such handcrafted single player experiences can provide. No ”roguelike” and “open world” bullshit in here, but pure handcrafted joyness. For me, both the traversing and the combat sequences are a joy to play.
TLDR, if you like Star Wars, especially the Jedi Knight games and you are on the fence, go buy it and play it, you won’t regret it. Can’t wait for the sequel!
