    Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order On The Cusp of Perfection
    How do you remember Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order? I remember it being one of the better titles to release in 2019 but I wouldn’t blame you for forgetting about it, as 2019 gave us some insane releases. Pokemon Sword and Shield, Metro Exodus, Sekiro, DMC 5, and releases like Outer Wilds and Catherine Full Body occupy my top ten of all time. That didn’t stop many from enjoying the game however, as Jedi Fallen Order received some excellent reviews. I loved the game for being a self contained Star Wars experience, requiring minimal external knowledge of the world or events to understand the story. Vibrant worlds, an intriguing story, and visceral combat lead to me remembering the game fondly. With the announcement of this game's sequel, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, I’ve had an itch to replay Jedi Fallen Order, and spoiler alert, I am glad I did. I can also finally keep my word about covering this game, as I promised it would be the next video almost 3 years ago now. Better late than never. While there were some hiccups in the performance and combat, the game overall is a fun ride from beginning to end. So, without further adieu let’s take a look back at what I would consider to be the best modern Star Wars video game, 3 years later. I’ll be spoiling most of the game here too so be warned.
    Something important to note about Fallen Order is that it is, mostly, self contained. This remedies any issues with lore, as the game has no greater impact on the Star Wars universe, but it also makes the game accessible. I have to admit, I like Star Wars, and I have seen all the movies, and played all the games, but only once or twice. I wouldn’t consider myself a die hard fan, and I entered this game with a surface level understanding of Jedis, Siths, The Force, and the galaxy, far far away. Fortunately, my experience was not hindered at all, and what information I did know before going in was rewarded. There were small cameos from characters I recognised from the films, and plenty of familiar songs will score your journey.
    Unfortunately, all of these praises are under a caveat that the game didn’t run the best on launch and still struggles occasionally. These hiccups were minor in my experience, and often occurred when exploring new areas, leading me to believe that the game is chugging as it loads new textures in, perhaps this could be alleviated when playing on the PS5s SSD, but on the PS4 it did struggle in some minor areas. On PC it was a similar story on my Hard Drive, but everything was as smooth as possible on an SSD. All footage was captured on PC, but I have played both versions. I’d say go for the PC version as it offers more replayability through mods, some of which are a bit too horny for my taste, but others like being able to customise your lightsaber down to the exact colour value, can enhance a new game plus playthrough.
    Star Wars is a series I am not very familiar with. With the release of star wars jedi survivor I've had an urge to replay star wars jedi fallen order. With the release of a new star wars game on the horizon, we should look at one of the better star wars game, perhaps the best star wars game, which I find to be consistently on the cusp of perfection. This Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Critique, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Review, or Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Analysis will feature Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Gameplay, throughout. This Jedi Fallen Order Review, Jedi Fallen Order Analysis, or Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order Retrospective, was made by That Boy Aqua.

    Guys please, I did not say that SW/SH occupy my top 10. I said those games were major releases of the year, and that both Outer Wilds and Catherine occupy the top 10. I don’t know what’s worse; the amount of people misinterpreting the sentence, or how pressed they’re getting about it.

      Fun fact, but useless detail about the game
      When you first meet Vader and he force chokes you and cal pulls a peice of machinery to hit Vader but if you look closely
      Vader didn't anticipate it with the force.
      Just before Vader blocks the machine with the force. he looks at calls hand. He instantly realizes cal is pulling the machinery towards him and for a very quick then reacts. So Vader even when he is caught of guard handles it like a giga chad.

    Honestly, I was more terrified of Kashyyyk than I was of Dathomir. Dathomir was uneasy, but aside from the occasional enemy around a corner. There isn’t much to actively scare you.
    Meanwhile Kashyyyk has spiders the size of cars that can jumpscare you, ginormous Venus flytraps and parasitic plants that slowly and ominously go towards you. I found Dathomir a nice stroll compared to the horrors on Kashyyyk.

    • @reno9821

      Very good point. To me, I found the scariness of Dathmoir to come from how dead and abandoned it felt, like a place where nothing should be. Meanwile Kashyyyk is this incredibly lush lively natural enviroment where you might get jumpscared and oppressed by its various predators, but it does feel like you're just a trespasser on their home.
      It is also funny tho because after you get to climb the origin tree and essentialy conquer the Kashyyyk area, you are rewarded with seeing it's actual beauty and wonder. While in Dathomir, you get to meet the Gorgara, which is problably the scariest encounter you come across there.

      @ThatBoyAqua  Рік тому +52

      I think I actually found Ninth Sister the hardest.
      On my NG playthrough I felt no challenge against most bosses, but on Jedi Grandmaster, you need to make proper use of all your abilities, understand all the enemies attacks, and have precise timing. Ninth Sister was the first boss to have me stuck for close to 45 minutes because I was conditioned to play recklessly and it taught me to approach fights with focused aggression rather than improvising the whole time. Once I understood that concept and worked it into my gameplay the other bosses were still challenging, and even more fun, but nowhere near as hard to adapt to.
      Malicos and Trilla are tough for sure, but they follow the same concepts and patterns that Ninth Sister forces you to grapple with.

Some of the side quests can be a little repetitive but there are several that have their own story and engage you in other ways than just your generic "fetch this, kill that". And the expansions are practically new games unto themselves. The replay value is high, with deep narrative and abundant choices, few of which are strictly good or bad/black or white. It holds up quite well for a game that's nearly 8 years old and, for me, comes in a very close second to RDR2 among my favorites for story driven action.

    I beat Fallen Order yesterday and It's a great game.
    It's unfortunate the amount of technical issues present, even on next-gen consoles, such as pop in, characters taking a good second to load and audio desync during cutscenes. Most issues aren't that bad but what annoyed me was that they were constant. On top of that, the combat was hit-or-miss with me, with some encounters been fantastic while others been annoying.
    That said, I would gladly give it a second go because the story and characters are great, I really like the uncharted-esque platforming and the locations are fantastic. I was planning to do a NG+ but now I'll clear my current save and do NG+ at a later date.
    In any case, this is a great video that reminds me the many highlights from the game.

The first time I picked it up, I only gave it a couple hours and felt the combat was too simple, but when I gave it another try and worked my way down the upgrade tree, I quickly started enjoying the flow of the combat and after the first boss fight I was hooked. The story wasn't groundbreaking, but the characters were really well acted and most of the writing was good enough to keep me interested in what happened next. The focus on a mostly linear platforming experience with set pieces and metroid-vania progression was a lot more fun than I originally expected. I'm still considering going back to platinum it, just because I want to play more.

    I really liked it, but it's extremely far from perfect.
    The lightsaber feels like a glowstick during combat, and you can tell EA gave Respawn a bag of peanuts for a budget, expected them to fail and to get an excuse to say "well, people don't want Single Player games, we told you".
    Respawn took that bag of peanuts, worked their magic and pulled it off like champs à la Sekiro, same combat, same budget compensated by re-using levels.

      Opposite - started an 8, but after all the backtracking I turned to the darkside, 7, or 6/10 if you're going for 100%. Star Wars music would've upped it back to 8. Mal's battle was unfair on normal, especially as you respawned a fair bit away each time.

    I played this game on PS4 Pro this month. The performance was pretty awful at times. Frame drops are pretty common. Sometimes, textures don't load for a few seconds. On another level, the enemies loaded in 10 seconds late, and they just idled. Certain enemies get launched in the air for no reason. There are times where I'll do a perfect dodge but still get hit. I can keep going. That being said, I had a blast playing this game in Grand Master difficulty. Currently, I'm trying to finish the combat challenges. I just wish these issues would have been polished out.

    Some of the performance issues, lack of enemy variety and combat towards the end, and other shortcomings seemed like it was still a proof of concept, just pulled off really well. This could be cynical based on EA's history, but I'm hoping now Survivor is much more polished. The being said, I played normal through grandmaster and it was always satisfying. Great game, good characters, and BD-1 is the best.
    Great video. Like the breakdowns of gameplay, performance, presentation and story all on their own merits.

    You can actually force push the flame troopers into a wall and cause their flame packs to explode.
    Also there's actually more changes to the legendary creatures than just HP. The Alpha Nydak can't be parried 3 times and immediately killed, as its bio says its far more intelligent than the lesser nydaks. The Albino Wyyyshock has the claw attack the normal ones have that normally is an instant kill but its an unblockable. And many similar things to the other creatures.
    Also it makes sense to lock the dual wield behind a combo attack, seeing as Cal at that time only knew double bladed combos from Tapal and form 1 in training.

    this feels a little rambly but i wanna share my experience with Fallen Order. i enjoyed watching souls and soulslike games before, but i never wanted to play them myself; why play something that's difficult for difficulty's sake? but i'm a HUGE star wars fan, so sure, i'll try Fallen Order even though it's a style i don't think i'll like. but then when i play it, my favorite part is those same systems i thought i wouldn't enjoy! the combat isn't difficult by being unfair, it's just a complex, quick system to be learned (and a satisfying one at that). and now, i’m saving up for Elden Ring (we'll see how that goes)
    this is something i love about the star wars universe; it's so big and varied that there's room for so many kinds of stories and games and experiences. and it'll get nerds like me to try new styles we might think we won't like, only to open us to broader experiences :)

It succeeded in spades for just being solid.

    I liked it well enough but there are too many places where I can tell the team was just good enough to hide where they cut their corners that most people don't notice. Without harping on the inconsistencies you mentioned, I hate being in caves because without the skyboxes, I'm abruptly reminded that I was running around on a floating Unreal asset. You can fly by alternately mashing jump and slow after you get the double jump. combat is straight forward and traversal, even with flying, is slow and monotonous.
    I honestly think I'm just spoiled by Jedi Academy, but I really feel like this game could have been so much better if it was given just one more coat of polish.
