3.5/5 ★ – MechaniChris's review of STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™.

Honestly a pretty good piece of Star Wars media in general. While the gameplay does get a bit repetitive, even with the accumulation of new abilities and fighting styles, the story really excels here, far surpassing games like The Force Unleashed which tries to be a similar experience, but feeling hollow. I do wish the lightsaber combat felt a little smoother. Often times, you’re forced to just dodge and swipe when you really want to be parrying blows like the movies. At the very least, a blaster side arm would be a welcome change of pace to to some of the combat, instead of just waiting for an enemy to fire so you can reflect back. Customization was also pretty satisfying, though I wish we had more clothing options beyond different color ponchos. So much fun designing your own lightsaber though, especially because you can recreate the ones available at Galaxy’s Edge in-game (yes I made the lightsaber I own in real life). I’d happily play a sequel to this, having truly enjoyed where the story led, but I do hope they offer a bit more gameplay variety. I can only run hop off so many walls before I start getting bored.
