8/10 I Star Wars Jedi: Survivor A small but welcome improvement on Fallen Order, that has some of the best lightsaber fights and Soulslite action this side of the Outer Rim.
was more ambitious, although even now the idea of mixing Dark Souls gameplay with Star Wars seems an odd combination. Fallen Order was never as difficult as that comparison implies but that was clearly the primary inspiration, along with Uncharted andThe end result was a solid and enjoyable experience but one that suffered from some irritating level design contrivances, bland storytelling, and Force powers that were never quite as fun as other games with telekinesis .
The core gameplay of Survivor is very similar to Fallen Order, so much so that you start the game with all the abilities Cal learnt by the end of the last game – rather than you starting from scratch in traditional Metroid style. That’s not the problem for accessibility it might sound, as the basics of combat are very simple: a single main button for swinging your lightsaber and pushing and pulling with the Force is on the left and right triggers.
The use of lightsabers is an improvement on Fallen Order and a new high watermark for laser swords in video games, with a really solid, satisfying heft to the action. As good as it is though, the Force powers still aren’t as much fun as Control, probably because Star Wars in general tends to use telekinesis in a less bombastic manner.
By being that little bit more grounded it all starts to seem rather contrived in a Star Wars setting, especially in a fictional world where anti-gravity devices and jetpacks are commonplace. Your new pal Bode has one of the latter and the game would probably be over in half the time if you just played as him. As it is you get him, and nightsister Merrin , helping you out in some of the levels, where you can direct them to attack specific enemies.
