Just completed Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order and I really enjoyed it. My review on yesterday's stream holds strongly.
I got 100% of all secrets, chests, and unlockables because I really did enjoy exploring the beautiful planets and getting the bits of lore. Proud of that :)
The exploration is very fun, the environments are really well done visually, and the boss fights are intense and engaging.
The weak spots are in late-game enemy variety, the extreme bugginess of the environment and collision detection, and the wasteful overuse of "sliding segments" and other "cinematic action" sequences.
The actual cinematics look really nice and I quite enjoyed them when I wasn't having to slide through an obligatory and incredibly easy mud or ice tunnel.
While the dialogue writing isn't perfect, and some of it is a *little* awkward, the themes of the story shine through very strongly and are built on throughout the games levels and dialogue. While the ending was very linear and the enemy variety had completely fallen off by the last 10% of the game, I actually quite liked the storyline conclusion and found it really endearing.
All in all, I enjoyed my experience with Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order and will most certainly be giving Jedi Survivor a try when it comes out!
@DemonMama Merrin feels like a late-game addition to the story, once she joins the ship it's like she has nothing to do until the end. And her character arc feels disjointed, when they remove the hood and give her a softer appearance she really feels like a completely different character.
@DemonMama almost feels like there was an aborted romance arc there between Cal and Merrin. maybe jedi survivor will expand on that.
