Jedi Survivor - what a dissapointment :(
Just completed the game.
The bright side? The story, characters we know from Fallen Order, comat mechanics. That's it. All the rest is just a garbage ☹️
The big maps? Geez, nothing interesting there, just arcade parcour everywhere. Like literally, 90% of everything you will do in a game, will be jumping or dashing or both.
Fallen Order had story, combat and parcour nicely ballanced. Here it is different. As the maps are big, so is the backtracking in key locations. It is not fun at all from some point of the game, just feeling of seeing the same, jumping the same, just to have another collectible as finally you got some skill needed to open some passage, which you run by like 3 or 4 times before.
NPCs? All newly introduced in a game, with exception of one or two, are written so porly, that they are simply waste of time. Necessary to acquire some side quests, but they bring no value to the story at all (and this is the nicest I can write of them). I could probably evaluate them better, if was in kindergarden's age, playing my first game ever 🙂
This is clearly the example how not to do continuation of a good game. Dominant feeling after I completed it is a relief, that no more arcade gameplay with Jedi Survivor.
New Game +? New collectibles? Waste of effort - I won't play this again never ever. I simply had enough of ingame parcour for the next decade ☹️
Good they did combat mechanics good, and the main plot too - the only things which kept me to complete game till the very end.
Despite around 98% of completion, I spend in Survivor few hours less, than in Fallen Order. The latter I also evaluate as a great 9/10 game. Survivor is barely 6/10 in my opinion.
Technically I have no specific issues, maybe except menu/map navigation with Keyboard/Mouse combo - again, these are example how not to do things in the PC games.
Had around 4-5 crashes per few dozens of hours ingame, so not so bad. With GTX 1080, epic settings, I was able to have 40-60 FPS per average, except galaxy map, where it was 15-20FPS. Dunno why, as galactic map seems to be a simple picture to display ....
