- Thanks to EA for the review code!
As stated in my review of Jedi Fallen Order, it was the best Star Wars game since KOTOR in my book. To get a high quality Star Wars title without any waiting, patching, or canceling involved felt incredible. With that said, the stakes now grow even higher for Jedi Survivor and I'm pleased to say that this game expands on the original in every conceivable way while delivering a much more personal tale this time around. Indeed, Jedi Survivor made Matty say the forbidden word.

I see some folks coming in here following the controversy surrounding Jedi Survivor's performance and acting like this was not accounted for based on my experience with the game ahead of launch in this review. I speak at length about it starting at 6:50 and issue multiple warnings on *what I was told* about PC and *what I experienced* on PS5. It's a shame to see how the performance ended up following the patches for the game as it seems to made it far worse compared to what I played. You can see the in the gameplay of the video for yourself that was I experienced was a far cry from what is available online. EA looks to be submitting more patches for the game, but we'll see if it gets better (or worse) from there. I hope it gets better because the story and gameplay here are marvelous and absolutely worth experiencing.
Ur shilling for mediocrity
I’m a big fan of yours MM and always appreciate your balance between fair and fandom on D1R’s. You most certainly brought attention to the performance issues so not sure why all the unnecessary blowback?? I installed the game on Monday and thought there was something wrong with my system the exp was that bad (7700x running a 79000xt)😮 3 crashes and sub 60fps with lows in the teens in the first hour. I found this video and a few others that were very helpful to understand the current situation. I’m a huge SW fan and cant wait to jump further into the gameplay and new storylines of Survivor once future patches (that work) are released . Thanks again for all your hard work creating amazing content. Staying sexy and active on this end bro 😂 ✌️
Side note - Starfield won’t have these same performance issues post launch will they………😬
My man shit his pants over redfall shipping at 30 FPS but this game is fine when so many players can barely get a consistent 30 FPS playing this?
@@williamstump2197cus the game at the least has quality and performance mode, red fall has only one
I only watched 3 minutes of this video as you confidently talked about the game in a great to perfect sense with no mention of performance. I stopped watching as I wanted no spoilers of both story and visual. I got the game and boy was I so disappointed. Sorry but I felt you did a huge disservice to your community with this review. You definitely should of mentioned the glaring issue off the bat within the first two minutes and called the title "perfect but flawed" or something of the sort, that way we would be aware of that issue and decide afterwards. If you did this, I definitely would of not bought the game and waited until the patch came. I could of gotten this game a lot cheaper than full price and this review made me pay for that. Sorry but in my eyes you went from credible to not so credible anymore. You aren't down there with game journalist terrible non-credible but you definitely went down a few notches. You seem like a nice dude and all but damn.... my already distrust in video games these days went down even further after this.
I hope this along with Fallen Order can serve as examples of what great single-player Star Wars games can be made. We're finally back to that Star Wars 1313 era
Apex legends, Titanfall, star wars are all amazing under respawn.
Me too mate!! Love me some good single player games
Single player game which does not work without downloading it from the internet...
most games are single player🤷🏼♂️
it will never happen
I was just blown away by how much bigger and better the game was than fallen order. I mean way bigger and way better. What an incredible experience I had with the game
It is good to hear that people aren’t falling in the trap of social media complaints, I agree with everything you said so much more and fast travel was nice to have I’m loving this game
The only thing I really didn't like about Fallen Order was the world map - it was so difficult to read the way they did it as a hologram. You basically had to rely on photographic memory to get around.
And the backtracking through the levels
The puzzles. That damn puzzle that involved all those spheres. Still loved the game as a whole though
I played only a little of the previous star wars and I agree, i was too lost on where to go next and maybe this new one would be easier to navigate
@@johnson24811 this is why I quit
They did Darth Vader justice in the end the way he is presented in the story is brilliant with the sister being terrified of her failures and what awaits her.
13:20 Nah, I don’t think this is nit picky at all. Traversing levels was one of the biggest pains in my ass while playing Fallen Order, especially since you couldn’t warp between meditation areas. It was so bad that it made me not want to go back and pick up the collectibles I had missed.
You just need to reallocate some of your skill points into patience my man
@@truesdemon1644 Nah. It’s unforgivable in my opinion. I actually stopped playing after I realized I had to find my way back to the beginning of the long, convoluted level every time.
When a game feels like it’s deliberately wasting your time in a way which has been long since solved by every other developer in this genre of game, I don’t blame anyone for being frustrated.
@@totezmcgotez44 yeah i understand that sentiment completely. it’s a very jarring experience in a metroidvania style game when you have to go back to the beginning without fast travel. it’s the main reason why i only played fallen order once. With that said, survivor looks like it does nothing but improve on everything fallen order built.
@@totezmcgotez44 idk i don't think it was that bad. Could be like elden ring which is like fallen order x10. When i went around trying to do everything in the game i was constantly looking at the map
The PC port is objectively speaking bad. Game is great but the bugs really mess with the immersion. Cutscenes are hilarious, unironically
Never thought I’d say it, but with their last few single player releases, it seems like something has finally clicked over there at EA. Genuinely intrigued to see if they can continue this streak with their other devs… BioWare especially 😅
Yh hoping the new dragon age is good and ik its a long wait but hope they can do the same with mass effect 4.
I know it was already first made in 2008 but dead space remake was just brilliant for me, and Jedi survivor looks like another hit
I really hope they pull it off with DA4, but judging from the leaks that I've seen, it makes me really skeptical for the gameplay to be good as the previous games.
No the performance is garbage
@@gamesmaster1060 on what PC?
Three games I had high hopes for Dead space remake, REV4 remake, and Jedi Survivor the fact that all them look so damn good this year tells me this is a good year for 🎮
All of these get even better if you own a PC 🖥️
@@TapTwoCounterspell It wouldn’t make a difference either way no right?
@@TapTwoCounterspell apparently the Jedi survivor PC Port is trash unfortunately.
Completely agreed man. The 3 I was looking for this year are all great.
@@TapTwoCounterspell All of those ports are fucking trash sadly and I hate it. The superior experience is unfortunately NOT pc as it’s supposed to be
Matty you really need to start mentioning the games performance in your reviews.
hmm. now that everyone's reviews are out, this is looking a bit odd.
Right!?
you just got me even more hyped
I'm not a big Star Wars fan (though I loved KOTOR) but I really enjoyed Fallen Order so I'm looking forward to this one. glad to hear it delivers
Fallen Order was a piece of shit.
@@bassage13 in a vacuum yeah I guess you could say that. trust me I'd be a lot happier if we got more games like the original Deus Ex, but that's not happening. however looking at the current state of the gaming industry it was good, which sucks but what can you do. after a billion mediocre soulless AAA live service games it was nice to see EA dares to publish single player games again
They actually managed to impress me with the horrible optimization. Well done
Yeha the pc port is bad, ps5 looks but janky in performance mode and is the first game I’ve played in resolution mode, but it’s a lot better on console which is suprising
@@lukebrunker264 if you've been following pc ports for any amount of time you would not be surprised. This is basically industry standard at this point.
@@PandaBearJellyyep it's unfortunate as I own a great pc but I don't really play the latest games unless it's a good port I use it for many games not available on consoles. I do wish I could get more games day 1 on PC and be confident but you just can't these days so I own a ps5 as an option.
I kinda disagree with "wait till the credits roll to explore non-story stuff"
It can be annoying constantly coming across obstacles you can't overcome without a specific ability, but you'd be missing out on a TON of health upgrades, force upgrades, skill points, perks, and perk slot upgrades that can make a huge difference to how capable Cal is throughout the game
Your comparison to Arkham Asylum and arkham city was EXACTLY how it felt for me too.
Really love your review… Everybody likes to hear a good positive review, but it sounds like the team developing this game. Really put some heart and soul into it. Thanks for your posting.
Can’t wait to play this. I’m so glad they still kept the difficulty settings because if not, I wouldn’t been able to play the game I’m not into souls type of games. 😂
It feels so much cooler wiping a room in a higher difficulty though
Then you don't deserve to play games. Go read a book.
@@crumpetsNskin on grandmaster the bosses 1 shot u thats not fun and ive beatin every souls game
I always come to your channel for honest reviews man. You are the best in the business. Great job!
From what I’ve gathered from most reviews, Survivor is an improvement in every way - only downside I’ve heard is some reviewers thinking the story isn’t as strong, but from what I gathered, it feels as though Survivors story essentially got the Andor treatment - which I think is the best Star Wars story telling currently. So doubly excited on that end.
Pc performance sucks
I guess PC performance isn’t very good though. But I’m on PS5 and it’s fine
Actually the story and characters are much better than fallen order.
gotta say i really appreciate the manaan music in the background you never fail to show out as a kotor fan WAITING ON THAT PLAYTHRU FOR THE REMAKE CANT WAITTTTTTTT
Should have went Ham on the performance cause the day 1 patch didnt help at all. I think its hard to recommend a great game with bad performance
I didn’t know you had another channel! I’ve only seen Retro Rebound but i’m glad this showed up in my recommended. I love those videos and I can’t wait to get more content
"They have delivered before and never got their roses" what a great way to put it. Arkane is a great studio.
I've been waiting for this and your review. I've had the deluxe on pre-purchase since it became available.
Thanks alot Matt, really appreciate this one
IM SO EXCITED HOLY SHIT. This is gonna be a celebration for all star wars fans
I’m just now finally finishing the first one. I remember I stopped playing it because the map was so bad and hard to find your way around. But I finally got the hang of it and finishing it for the sequel. Glad to know it’s a good sequel.
I have a question how did you navigate the map because I feel like it's worst in this game for me
@@sethmende I rarely ever use that horrendous map. It’s absolutely awful. Only when I need to see the general direction of objectives. The second game map was easier to read but still awful.
@@The_Primary_Axiom I have to half the time or more
@@sethmende Yes me too, I just look to see the direction the objective is but it never helps me find my way around.
@@sethmendeit’s bro it’s fixed up a lot from the last game
Excellent review, Matty! I've recently started getting into your content and it has been just EXCELLENT. I love listening to you talk about games and this is easily a top tier review. Excited to try Survivor out when I get the chance, you really helped make me a bit more excited for it.
Apex legends, Titanfall, star wars are all amazing under respawn.
this comment speaks for me also... well spoken! 10/10 comment :)
Great spoiler free review Matty, thank you for such a complete and fair review. Can't wait to play...
Hey man I’m loving the content. Do you stream games anywhere or just upload on UA-cam?
My only concern is the reports of PC frame drop and stutter issues. I hope the day one patch improves it.
great review man. was waiting for ur review before preordering it and now im getting it for sure!!! THANKS MATTY
Like your channel a lot dude. Love the theme and attitude towards content we love
I look forward to playing this when the price drops $30 bucks.
20:22 I understand your point with this.. but when I played Fallen Order I spent a bit of time (which was fine with me because I wanted the game to last awhile) every time I got a new ability that increased locations I could explore and because of this likely had quite a few more skill points to spend on skills and many more stims than those players that followed the main story only and then explored afterwards.
So can you tell us… if we do what you are suggesting and leave the exploring for after the story… will we be missing skills and stims we could have had during boss fights for the story if we went exploring as we progressed?
Just B line the story. There's so much wasted time exploring only to reach a area you cannot get through because you didn't get some power up in the story
this game was great. It built on the first one and made some of the pain points so much better. the one major gripe I had is it consistantly crashed reputedly after 2-4 hours of gameplay
Love to hear all the praise!! Keep up the great content Matty!
I could feel your enthusiasm for this game through the screen. Great review Matty
Awesome review. Gives me just enough hype and info without spoiling anything!
Just got it for 40$ with the holiday sales going on. This game looks incredibly good. On ps5 it runs and plays great now
I just want to shout out Matty plays for all the KOTOR music in the background. You're a real one sir.
Great review dude. Love your stuff. You pumped me up even more for this game!
Does anyone know if those of us who ordered the collectors edition from LRG will actually at least get the game at launch or shortly after? Or will we be forced to wait several months? 😅
They started shipping yesterday. Mine is coming in tomorrow
I always look forward to your review of a game I'm looking forward to. I know that your reviews are always fair and honest and as a result, I trust them. Sometimes, even when review is glowing, as this one is, you mention a number of things/features that I typically dislike and I'm always very thankful for that as it allows me to go in with more reasonable expectations. This is the first review that I've seen that has given me pause on the game. I don't particularly like platforming and I really dislike puzzles. Couple those with a frustrating navigation system and I'm giving real thought to waiting for it to go on sale. I thank you for that Matty. Your plain speaking honesty is very much appreciated.
Loving the KOTOR 2 background music!!
Perfect 30fps on the 4090
YES, THANK THE DEVS, They could've not make you any game.
The main thing I love is that it's actually a challenge. U need to think hard about how to approach the vast array of enemy types and which moves to use. U need to strategically use ur stims and force . And maps are a challenge to navigate. U get a sense of accomplishment when u defeat enemies and find new areas of a map
Yay, very excited to play tomorrow!
Looks amazing! Thanks for the review!
Hey matty just a quick thumbs up to say brilliant review well balanced informative indepth fair and insightful a masterclass on how to review a game objectively
Cal is in my top 5 fav Star Wars characters list. He’s the Kyle Katarn of the younger generation, and as a 31 year old SW nerd. I’m here for it.
My copy is updating as we speak. Can’t wait to dive in!
this made me so happy matty thank you !!
So excited to play this this weekend.
Best review I’ve heard thus far. Feel your love for this game and Star Wars in general coming through this video. Great to see that Respawn gets what we love about Star Wars. After disappointing Mando season, maybe they should be given a show. So psyched to play this, sounds like everything I wanted them to expand upon in first game
My man has the word "Perfect" in hos description. He must have loved the hell out of this.
Matty, what are the trophies like? Is this hopefully a challenging platinum?
I've been looking forward to this - Darth Tyrannus.
I love how this game actually makes troopers dangerous
I love Star Wars, to me the first game may me love the franchise more. Excited to add to my game library🎉❤
Excellent review Matty! (Love the KOTOR music btw) I really enjoyed Fallen Order, but the platforming was my least favorite, sounds like they turned it up to 11 in this game haha. I'm definitely going to check this out, but I might wait for some performance patches first. Besides, I'm in the middle of a Cyberpunk playthrough. I'm really happy to see the return of high-quality single- player Star Wars games!
Bro idk how you beat everyone else but I appreciate you.
"There are ziplines across giant chasms..."
Have you _seen_ the Star Wars films? The Empire sure does love its giant pits and chasms, and apparently has never heard of railings. There's nothing more quintessentially Star Wars than bewildering level design!
Been asking for months still no anwser can you turn off enemy health bars ?
Does this game PS5 dualsense features like haptics or adaptive triggers?
Excellent review - I’m excited to play this game!
Great use of the KotOR Manaan theme in the background.
It´s end of April and we already got several absolute bangers. And now this. I feel really good about gaming in 2023.
Hope we get live action Cal at some point.
It would make perfect sense, since Cal is identical to his actor
Not every game needs a fucking live action adaptation. Fucking hell you people.
This review just got me to pre order this game and I’m so hyped
How does the dismemberment system work? I only see you choppin off arms in the footage.
Great review, but man the KOTOR 2 soundtrack in the background made me so nostalgic
Great video so far, well at least audio wise. I'm super worried about spoilers so I'm only listening just in case of unintentional spoilers.
Hopefully there's more Jedi vs Jedi (lightsaber vs lightsaber) fights than Fallen Order.
Mattys the type of guy who eats avocado toast in the morning while listening to Beatle vinyls drinking a turmeric latte
Tumeric latte sounds goodb
Fextralife played it on Series X and said performance was immaculate after the patch on the 25th 👀
Matty has a 100% strike rate with the "P-word".
Beware guys, the game is busted on the PC.
It's not exactly bug free on console either.
Thank you so much for not delving into the story. I was watching other reviews and they all started talking about the story. I want to enjoy the story on my own. So yeah thanks best review of the day.👍
Finally someone actually giving a good review, most people lose their crap over performance issues and they look past everything else. The story is great, I aint gonna go into detail cuz spoilers and the combat is AMAZING! The combat is just expanded on and improved every single way. Like I understand but I never had any issues besides like 2 bugs and one crash. Also I am on pc so idk why ppl r bugging.
Top man Matty, can't wait to play it
The Dual-Weapon type is a dope as hell 😄
That is such a good title to hear, in my head
How come NONE of these REVIEWERS are mentioning the horrible PC performance on Jedi Survivor? I am running a 3080TI and I can’t run at 2k on medium settings 60 FPS. I am absolutely fed up with this garbage.
At least you can play at all, I cant even get to the main menu ffs
That’s really bad. I haven’t heard of a PC version that bad in years. Not even The Last of Us Part 1 is that bad on PC.
He did mention it almost halfway though
It's garbage on PS5 as well. Fucking stutter fest, screen tearing, frame rate drops down into 20s on performance mode. Not to mention it looks like straight shit on performance mode.
I’ll probably get it this summer when it’s on sale. Gotta save cash right now.
Okay
Rip
My plans to get EA premium for a month and smash this and dead space off in 1 month
Get a job.
I can't tell you how happy I am to hear the the story is outstanding!! From everything I've seen so far I have been very confident that the gameplay would be amazing, but i honestly care the most about the story. I love Fallen Order largely for the story, so I am so relieved to hear that you loved the story!
I cannot wait to jump into this world and experience Cal's story once again!!
Very nice review good sir. I am very excited for this game. This series is redefining the action-adventure game genre.
I really appreciate the KOTOR 2 music. Love the representation there!
can i pick who goes with me on missions? like which character?
Did they fix the back tracking or craptastic map from the first one?
I wouldn’t say perfect… I had so many game glitches and random freezes that kicked me out of the game, had to start so many parts over that I almost quit playing entirely. That was on PS5, I’m sure many other people could attest to this.
Having to constantly open the map in the original was definitely annoying to me. Trying to go for 100% completion on a planet like Zeffo? Nightmare
just finished Pre Downloading 130GB on PC really looking forward to playing this
Love the Kotor music in the background!
so excited to play this one
I know motive and that new studio in Seattle are making marvel games, but do you think respawn is also making a marvel game considering it’s a 3 game deal with marvel?
Why do you look so sad in the thumbnail here is a hug 🤗
You may have sold me with jedi knight academy comparions, I absolutely adored that game as wee lad
I have just got to the third planet and felt like the last two planets were sidequests. I played for hours just to pick up a tiny little piece of tech. I love the first game and in loving this game. I don't want any spoilers but I'm really hoping there's more substance.
Its a shame the peformance is busted as I was very excited after the first but seems im waiting.
6 and a half minutes in, I can genuinely feel how much Matty wants to gush about how good this game and the story is. Never change man, you and Cogs genuine love for games and what you do is why I listen to DD and I've never owned an Xbox. I do have pc game pass, but the listen is a very serious compliment
Now I’m sad that I fished it because it’s was an incredible experience for me. I live for these games
You sold me with the Jedi Knight vibes, I gotta play this.
