So a new a game that has been the best one since Star Wars The Force Unleashed 1 and 2 and in the right era of what people would have wanted, that's right the Empire Strikes Back! If you get my quote, Jedi: Fallen Order is set five years after Star Wars Episode III Revenge Of The Jedi and fourteen years before Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope. So first off, you are a young Jedi in exile who is called Cal Kestis, which after both what is known of Order 66 and in the game and comics, The Purge, he is on the mining Planet of Bracca which he's a scrapper of salvaging Clone Ships, just on the plus side you do get to see a Trade Federation Ship and a Jedi Star Fighter.Hence why Cal says it has been five years since the tragic year of the death of the Jedi along with his humanoid friend Prauf, everything is okay on working with these ships until they get separated and falling downhill, near to their deaths, but Cal uses a bit of the force to save his friend which freaks Prauf out and in short the Empire stops a train that they are both on until an Inquisitor comes by and kills Prauf. only to get Cal's anger out to show he's a Jedi, hence activating his blue lightsaber, which later on you can get your lightsaber worked on single, to double and then to two in both hands and different colours, with my'n I preferred green, so in the story line a little bit again. You are chased down, noting that Cal takes a hell lot of pain in until a ship comes to rescue him by a woman who is known by the name of Cere Junda, once a Jedi Knight and unattuned by the force, so no longer a Jedi Knight and the Captain of the ship as a humanoid, sort of a four armed cat. Called both Caption and Greez Dritus. The main part of all of this game is, after having your own droid called BD-1 a funny droid who jumps onto Cal's shoulder, Cal is unattuned to the force a little bit, now and again you go back to your teachings by your Master, in the Clone Wars, but mainly to re-build the Jedi Order. But to do that you have to follow a former Jedi Master named Eno Cordover. To reveal the meaning of the cult, called the Zeffo, who will have the list of the Jedi children, before the Empire can get there hands onto it, it's a race for the future...so from Bogano, to Kashyyyk, your love being inside an AT-AT moment. I did, but then to Darth Maul's Planet, Dathomir, beware of the Night Sister! Then going back and fourth you will have both the Inquisitor called the Second Sister and another one who is the Ninth Sister, and I'll reveal that Darth Vader will be apart of the game at some point, but I won't ruin all of it.This game is five stars to me, as well as ten out of ten, Cal Kestis is a brilliant character, the force powers are upgraded as if it was like a movie game, which my best friend had said and some of my staff carers have said that it is like a movie in one. There is so many pro's but there is one con:The Pro's:You get to travel the universe, as you want, it doesn't have to be in order, you can do any part of the game as you wish it to beYou have a lot to explore, a lot of game footage that is brilliant and companions that are amazing!Cal's past haunts him but you get to go back as a Padawan up to Order 66/The Purge with your Master and learn stuff like wall run's, lightsaber throws, force push, force pull ect... it comes slowly but in a good way.The whole re-building the Jedi Order, visiting the different temples is great!The Empire era is amazing, as is the graphics and as near to the Force UnleashedYou get to see Vader and a fair bit more of himThe Con:The Inquisitor is an amazing idea but you don't get to battle this enemy as much as many other random characters, only learning the Inquisitors past and true identity is both good but weak

Okay, so I pre-ordered Fallen Order and I have since completed the game in it's entirety. I've scoured each of the 5 planets looking for every hidden detail and collectable, of which there are many (but not too many) I've achieved every trophy in the game and it was an absolute joy. My only complaint is that the game wasn't much much longer and there weren't more planets to explore!I have loved every minute of the game. Yes, it's a little flawed but other than a couple of awkward glitches here and there, and the one time I kept falling through the map, which was highly frustrating, I have had a hell of good time with this game.So it saddens me to see so many negative reviews on Amazon.A huge surprise.I'll start by saying the game has an excellent story, nothing hugely game changing but enough to show me it's the best star wars game I've played. The gameplay takes a lot of inspiration from games like God of War, Uncharted and Tomb Raider, which is wonderful since these are what I consider to be TRUE games.Anyone going in expecting a sequel to The Force Unleashed (a game full of over the top action and broken controls) will be disappointed. This game requires actual skill. It's absolutely NOT a 'button masher' as some have stated, but a game were you have to carefully plan you're attack, make very good use of your parry and evade buttons and choose the right moment to strike, if you feel you cannot defeat an enemy, avoid them return later. You are a Jedi, and quite respectively, the combat requires patience and skill. Anyone not adaptable to that can turn the difficulty right down and it'll be a breeze. But where's the fun in that?Throughout the game you unlock a large array of fun abilities and upgrades that help you progress through the story. Some of the areas require backtracking later once you've unlocked the skill to unblock your path. Which brings to my next point.The level design is outstanding. This is not a simple linear game, it's requires a lot of thought and exploration (something hugely lacking in many modern games) As you progress through the map you'll find many doors locked from the other side or places beyond your reach and areas you can only explore with a new skill. Many of these doors are intelligently designed shortcuts, so if you play through the game for several hours you may find yourself on the other side of where you started, so that when you need to get back there later it won't take nearly as long.The lightsabre combat is fantastic, I will never tire of throwing my lightsabre at enemies, wielding double blades, and force pulling enemies directly into the sabre, and pulling off a precision evade-into attack, is always so satisfying.This is a quality game, made by a quality developer who understand what a good game consists of. This isn't Battlefront or Call of Duty. It's something infinitely better, and more exciting. THIS is the way a Star Wars game should be done, and I absolutely cannot wait to see where Respawn take the franchise next!Side note: The game is published by EA, but as far as I'm concerned they have no presence in the game. It is purely story based, there is no way to unload your money into the game to make yourself a better jedi. That happens by playing the game, as it should.

Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.PS4 Review.Pro's.Interesting CharactersIntriguing Storyline.Atmospheric Music Score.BD Is Awesome.Con's:Combat Needs ImprovingJumping Mechanics Are Awful.That Ruddy Daft Force Metre.Synopsis.A former Padawan named Cal is on the run from the Empire, you must complete your training before Imperial Inquisitors discover your plan to revive the Jedi Order. Aided by a former Jedi Knight, a cantankerous pilot & a fearless droid, you must escape the evil machinations of the Empire.Timelord Review.Fallen Jedi Order despite a few technical issues finally delivers a solidly enjoyable story driven game that features great characters, plenty of drama,mystery & emotion enhanced by a superb music score which gave me goosebumps during several scenes throughout the game.The game takes around 20 hours to complete & features plenty of side quests along with the main campaign, there are around 6 planets to explore each with there own weather environments, monsters & characters to interact with.There's plenty to upgrade along the way from Cals upgraded light saber abilities to increased force powers, also there are ponchos to collect & various parts or skins to upgrade for your light saber, BD & your ship, the characters are well written & each have there own back story which makes the story progressively intriguing as you learn more about them.However there are a few issues i had with this game, the jumping/climbing mechanics are shocking & i found myself dying more from a miss-timed jump than a actual light saber battle, several times i jumped & missed my mark or veered off the ice falling to my death while climbing i sometimes just fell for no apparent reason & I'm surprised this issue hasn't been patched as its quite a frustrating experience.My other gripe is the Sekiro combat style timed button presses which doesn't work for this type of game as no matter how much you upgrade Cal's abilities i always felt on the backfoot defending against enemies especially in the later boss battles when i should be on the frontfoot attacking, taking out stormtrropers is also slow & sluggish made more annoying by a Force Metre which quickly depletes, when you upgrade you should be able to use that manoeuvre as much as you like not be hampered by a ruddy force metre this feels dated & the gameplay would've benefited from a Shadow Of War style combat.Fallen Jedi Order adds a great storyline to the Star Wars universe that embodies the qualities of George Lucas true vision & while it has a few issues that occasionally frustrate it doesn't ruin this from being a unplayable experience, hopefully if Respawn/EA do a sequel these issues will be fixed because finally we have a Star Wars game that i can highly recommend playing.

Following the deeply disappointing Star Wars Battlefront games Jedi Fallen Order is the first Star Wars game on the PS4 that is actually half decent. The graphics and voice acting do a lot to capture the mood and tone of an original Star Wars story. However, apart from some cosmetic choices, such as picking which poncho you wear, the story is very linear and there are few meaningful player decisions.In its gameplay Fallen Order most closely resembles the recent Tomb Raider releases with big open world maps to explore, but which funnel you down a particular route. As you unlock new abilities and equipment new routes will become available, allowing you to revisit previously explored locations.Comparisons to Dark Souls can be found,

Update: Played another couple of hours and have come to the conclusion that this is another game I will not see the end of simply due to boredom. There are some great set-pieces (ATAT cockpit etc.) but the story is becoming tedious and game formula is getting a bit too repetitive for my liking. EA could have/should have been a little more ambitious here considering how badly they have handled the rights to star wars so far. the further I get in the game the more copy and pasted from other (better) games it feels and I'm losing the will to carry on. I would wait for a price drop before purchasing.

Ok so this game is good, not great but good. Im about 5hrs in I'd say. Now i like to think that I'm pretty good at these kind of adventure games but I am finding this bloody hard, there are 4 difficulty levels and when I play any game I normally opt for either hard setting or normal, I started with the fourth difficulty setting and it was solid, went to third and still found myself dieing more than I liked, then went to the second and still found myself getting my butt kicked, luckily like most games now you can change the difficulty setting at any time during the game, what I found in the normal setting is that you can have one enemy ie storm trooper attacking you and you would have no problem taking him down but it's the massive creatures that can just take you out in a couple chomps,

Update at the end of this: EA have pulled some ground back with this game. Its really good. I love the souls franchise and all of its clones. But this is the best star wars game i have played in years. Good story great gameplay and alot of fun. I been playing since release and i cant turn it off. I am playing on jedi difficulty and it is abit of a challange but easy to get through so far i am about 15 hours in and i am trying to do everything.If you like star wars this game is worth it trust me! If you like souls and hate star wars this is still worth a try.What you would expect from a souls clone, you gain xp ans loose it if you die, however this game unlike dark souls is forgiving.

Thanks to EA for bringing the world a Star Wars game that is more than just a bitty, online-only punch-up. As a fan of old titles like 'Knight of the Old Republic', a single-player, immersive adventure like this was just the ticket for me. That said, the game is not without its problems. If EA is planning more like this, I'd like to offer some constructive criticism.First - combat difficulty levels. I'm an old fart and my gamer reflexes are very mid-table by some standards. That said, I'm generally far above the easy-peasy modes, which is where I spend a lot of my Fallen Order time. It's just too difficult to time parries and use force powers - particularly against animals - without getting killed,

If your a Star wars fan this game is an absolute must, not only is it probably one of the best Star Wars games ever made but its close to being one of the top games I've ever played on Xbox, a fantastic story that captures the magic of the movies in every way, the campaign is very long and will take you much longer than your usual game of this type, (but that also depends on how many hours a day you play for) the story is very well played out with your character building upon their skills as you progress through the game, by the time your finished you will be a fully skilled Jedi, there are several planets you will explore as the story unfolds, every planet is lush to look at with beautiful scenery and art,

I'd heard a lot of bad things about this game before I played it. My expectations were low, alas it was lockdown so my requirements for entertainment weren't exactly high either! Still, I think it's great game.The story is really well paced and enjoyable. It's an incredibly cinematic game which is blighted only by frame rate issues (occasionally, sporadically and only on some consoles - read about that elsewhere!). It also has a nice little turn of events towards the end which I didn't see coming. I like star wars, but not one of those who cries about things they don't like, but to my mind this is a proper star wars story.The graphics are pretty good, the worlds are fun and, I must admit,

Loved this game.Yes it is another game where you play a light sabre wielding Jedi (in the making), but it is done so well, the combat is fluid and challenging, I mean storm troopers can kill you in this. For example instead of holding the block button and firing the shots back and defeating the enemies easily, you simply just knock them away, if, however, you want to fire them back you have to time it, which is a nice addition. And you don't just face the run of the mill storm troopers, you face a large variety of them, all with their own individual strengths and weaknesses. You have to approach each slightly differently. There are ones that have a mini gun, of sorts,

It's been a while since Jedi Knight, Jedi Academy - the Kyle Katarn saga - and while the Force Unleashed series was welcome, it didn't have the tactical saber combat I was looking for.The Fallen Order takes it to a whole new tactical level of combat. You can't hack and slash your way through enemies, healing as you go. Nor can you just hold down block and wait for an opening, then rinse and repeat. You need to dodge, roll, jump, parry, use Force powers and then you get to do maybe one or two slashes before going back on defence again. Enemies are rock hard, even on medium difficulty, and they have a variety of moves to confuse you - some un-blockable and highly damaging.

This is the game we've been waiting for, I'm someone who enjoyed the Star Wars Battlefront series from Dice and I really recommend you re-visit Battlefront 2 if you haven't played it, but a gripping story is something we haven't had since 2010 when The Force Unleashed 2 came out.Respawn Entertainment once again made a fantastic game with so much character.Combat: I'm not very good at difficult games, and I'd say on Jedi Knight (Normal), this game was difficult for me but the game has a difficulty slider you can change in the Settings menu and you get no punishment for doing so. I'd recommend to not play it on Story mode though, it makes you feel a bit over powered and takes some of the fun away.Visuals & Sound: They nailed the look,

3.12.2019

Only a handful of hours in and so far it's been marvellous. The opening moments are exhilarating and I've been blown away completely by the graphics. Playing on a standard PS4 and the details and textures are incredible and highly polished. The character models look fantastic and the special effects are movie quality.Another reviewer posted some screenshots highlighting how bad (?!) the graphics are but failed to also upload examples of where the visuals shine, of which is many.The gameplay is challenging but then again I am playing on the hardest difficulty. The controls are fine, they are very responsive. I'm not sure what some people were expecting, but you can't expect to be a Jedi ninja from the off.

Star wars fallen order what can i use best to review this single player star Adventure? Frustration , Fun , nostalgia of past star wars games of the early 2000s Jedi knight jedi knight academy.This game really brings a smile to my face every time i play it because it does not hold your hand .Cons.The game play i enjoyed the light saber combat and it is the best combat in a star wars game since jedi knight games of the early 2000s.The levels layouts of the planets is both frustating and rewarding at the same time,this game takes a little patient to get into at first but when you get the climbing mastered you will begin to enjoy exploring the various planets.The graphics are nice and detailed
