Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a thoroughly enjoyable experience if you're playing on quality mode and can put up with a few bugs. Here are our first impressions of the sequel:
is finally here, and while we didn’t quite have enough time for a full review due to the code coming in after launch, we’ve opted for a quick First Impressions article to get our thoughts out there on the Fallen Order sequel.Survivor opens with Jedi fugitive Cal Kestis arrested and handed over to a senator on the city planet Coruscant, with its towering megastructures, neon lights, and flying space cars.
In my ten-or-so hours with the game so far, two of the biggest improvements over Fallen Order that I’ve noticed are with the combat and traversal. The combat is excellent, and I was happy to see that Respawn hadn’t come up with some arbitrary reason to nerf Cal of his powers and abilities from Fallen Order — he’s still a capable Jedi.
As for traversal, Cal now leaps, bounds, flips, and wall runs like a dream. In Fallen Order, the wall-running was always a bit off and incredibly frustrating when you’d not stick a landing and slip off into the dark unknown. With Survivor, Respawn has worked out the traversal kinks, and Cal now speeds through environments and platforming sections without issue.
On Koboh, the second planet in the game, the training wheels are off, and you can explore much more freely once you reach a certain point. Again, Respawn has created an interesting, rich, and highly-detailed world that begs you to explore its rocky landscape and lush forest while cutting down stormtroopers and a menagerie of weird and wonderful Star Wars creatures, familiar and new.
Aside from all the bugs and performance issues, I have loved my time so far with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. From the excellent combat to the detailed worlds to explore, Survivor is a worthy sequel that could be shaping up to be my favourite Star Wars game of all time — I can’t wait to see where it takes me next. If you are on the fence about this one and playing at 60fps is important to you, definitely wait until Respawn has rolled out a few patches to get the game in a decent state.
