It's fair to say that Star Wars has always been more of a fantasy than a sci-fi, but the point is this game is a remarkably derivative one, more so even than the movies. I also mistakenly said Endor in this video instead of Hoth, and there was apparently another way to solve the second puzzle.

Everyone’s gangsta until Vader shows up without a health bar

Cal after 20 hours of jumping; ‘I just remembered I was taught by a Jedi master to double jump’

“As we know, lightsaber color determines your views on women” In the sea of amazingly deadpan comedic lines that is your channel, this might’ve been my favorite

"On Zeffo, the training wheels come off." I and other players who went to Dathomir first are grinning smugly.

Just to maybe clarify something, the zombies on Dathomir are a reference to the Clone Wars series

"its starting to feel more like fantasy than sci-fi ... thats what star wars is...

17:55 actually no I didn't get my ass kicked. I kicked that bounty hunter's ass, but then the game was like "NO STOP THATS NOT ALLOWED ZAP"

You did the candle rope burn puzzle in an interesting way. You’re supposed to use the magnetic switch on the other side which will catch the candle, rather than using force slow, but it’s cool to see another solution.

You can use the double-sided saber to deflect the entire volley from the AT-ST, and you force push it's bombs and rockets back at it.

Only thing that bothered me in this video : "This is starting to feel more like a fantasy than sci-fi" ... That's litterally what Star Wars is

Night sisters exist in Clone Wars and they call it magic but it's actually the Force. This chapter was picked from The Clone Wars and it was best part of it

The story ending isn't inconsequential. It might seem so when you first go through it, but when you think about it, it's really not. The Empire was after the holocron. If Cal didn't find it first, all those kids would have been either killed or made to join the Empire. Cal saved them all in the end.

I love the way they did vader at the end, it really showed that you aren't some lightsaber force using god mary sue like starkiller, you are just a normal jedi, and that vader is leagues above in strength and showed that there is no way you can take on the big man, and that you need to run.

Bro, im still not done with the Death Stranding review.

"They stuck out like a sane person on Twitter" best quote in the whole video.

I love how Whitelight is surprised by zombies in Star Wars. They've been here since The Clone Wars season 4.

the zombies and bows are real, I believe this should be taken up with cannon and not the game

Getting back up from failure and moving forward is pretty clearly the game's main theme. Rebuilding the order was never really about finding the holocron so much as it was learning from the Jedi's past mistakes and making something good from it. This theme also is what pairs it well with Soulslike formula. Trying again and again, never giving up hope that you can rise back up from your failures. It's cliche, but that's Star Wars.

they didn't throw random fantasy tropes into a pot and glazed it in starwars, they actually stuck pretty close to dathomir lore: the zombies are reanimated night sisters, they were seen in clone wars as well. the magic is the nightsisters' unique way of using the force, everything from teleportation, reanimation, harmful rituals to making savage opress ribbed af and giving him the force. the bows appeared exactly this way in the show (although used by nightsisters, rather than nightbrothers. although, it's not hard to imagine that the brothers would've found them and picked them up after the sisters were almost all dead).

38:37 They recently added free DLC with Arena style Challenges that you can even create yourself. Definitely added to the endgame.

Cere's eyes protrude to an extreme degree.

17:37 you actually skipped that, your meant to magnetize the flame to the wall to get it over the gap. i never thought of putting it in stasis like that

30:47 To be fair he also never learned to fight with two sabers at the same time. He learned some Double Bladed from his master and the usual combat with his past saber. I hope the next game gives us the option to learn Split Saber combat

30:16 Story-wise, that makes sense. Ilum is the planet where Jedi younglings get their kyber crystals & build their own lightsaber, as established in Clone Wars.

24:44 someone hasn't seen clone wars😬

"Be there or be square" I never understood why people say it until now. square... because you are not "a round"

"It's starting to feel more like fantasy than sci-fi" *SPACE WIZARDS*

25:43 That wasn't a glitch. The Nightbrother realised their methods weren't working so decided to resort to more dangerous tactics

A freakin' 7 hour long Death Stranding review, followed by a Need for Speed Heat review and then and in-depth Jedi Fallen Order review? All in a span of a little over a month? You sir are on a roll, and we really appreciate your quality content! Keep up the good work, but don't forget to take a break once in a while!

Cordova's speech on Illum is one of the most motivational scenes I've seen in a video game.

Tarfful was a clone wars reference, that's why he was there. And the zombies are also a clone wars reference, I think a major issue I've been having with this critique is it seems you expect it to have the consistency of an introductory point to the series but I personally believe the game was made for Star wars fans who know all the stupid little lore details, I feel that your lack of experience with the star wars universe has slightly skewed your opinion of the games story and lore references.

A lot of the criticism in this video is heavy-handed and totally unfair. It isn't that hard. I never once loaded and I found that after the first 1/3 of the game it was rare that I even died. Maybe that is because the game I played before this was Sekiro but that game is legit insanely hard, this one just had sort of tough moments. I never encountered a bug, not once. Not doing something completely unique is not a criticism, it's just not a plus. Taking elements straight from other games (Like GOD OF WAR and PRINCE OF PERSIA did and Darksiders 2 STOLE) is totally fine. Fantasy elements are 100% part of Starwars, it's Science Fantasy, not science fiction. The zombies on Dathomir are already canon. I could go on but I think I have made my point. The game isn't revolutionary but it is fun and exactly what people wanted. Sometimes that is all something needs to be. I don't know about you guys but sometimes I just need to have a box of Kraft Dinner and damn does it hit the spot.... even though it's just run of the mill noodles and cheese sauce. That's what this is, some KD, right when we needed it.

9:20 You can actually use the force push to throw the little bombs back at the AT-ST. Same with the rockets it fires. Use the force push and they will also fly back at it. I quite liked this boss fight since it gave me many different ways to defeat the AT-ST. I especially liked the fact that after you destroy the AT-ST the pilot comes out and starts to shoot at Cal. Thought that was a cool detail. Still a cool Video :)

24:36 Well Dathomir uses the Zombies from Star Wars The clone wars. So blame Clone Wars not Fallen Order for introducing Zombies ;) Also i love it that dathomir is basically a reference to Clone Wars. And to anyone who didn't watch Clone Wars... give it a try. It's really good :D Also good Video :)

There's an upgrade which means stims replenish force fully. If you were doing a run with more than two stims you could experiment far more with force abilities.

Great critique. I just want to mention that the "zombies" on Dathomir are very thematic as the Nightsisters do use the Force in a way similar to fantasy magic. We saw those zombies in the Clone Wars as well. I personally wouldn't fault the game for staying true to the lore.

Whitelight: *States several times in his Minecraft critique, that diamonds have to remain the strongest material* Mojang: *Adds Netherite* Whitelight: "Listen here you little..."

On the At-St you can use push to fire back misseles and mines

I remember doing this game on Grandmaster difficulty on the first try. It was very challenging but since I was fresh out of completing Sekiro before starting this one, it made a monumental difference in gameplay for me. I remember dying multiple times when I first faced that big ass frog and having a great time adjusting myself to its moveset and augmenting my Sekiro experience to this game.

Cal owns the bluntest lightsaber in the galaxy

"...Bigger pain in the ass than Johnny Sins!" Aaand I just spat out pineapple juice on my screen, damn it.

17:28 I never thought to solve the puzzle that way. I used the magnet and threw the lantern into it so it stuck to the wall. Glad to see that there wasn’t just one solution.

I guess we both agree that Merrin is top-notch waifu material

I want an actually realistic Jedi game where you are very vunerable (Force users can handle more punishment than most, but can still die to just one well placed blaster bolt), have more or less unlimited force use and your lightsaber is one-to-one with the actual lore, meaning if it as much as touches someone that someone will lose a limb or so. This type of game could really be skillbased but at the same time provide a uniquely "Star Warsy experience" of being a powerful Force user.

Dude, I think you meant “Hoth” when you said “Endor.” Regardless, Ilum is also a fanservicy reference, by my observation. Edit notes: Original read : “Regardless, Ilum is also a fanservicy reference in my opinion.” Reason: Grammar and word choice.

For the AT-ST battle you can also push the rockets back, slow the AT-ST so it doesn’t drop rockets on you, and also when you parry two blaster bolts in a row, the AT-ST staggers, allowing for attack

32:05 "I felt like I had to try hard to feel like a jedi" Two things. First, the lightsaber combat in this feels on point. I don't think there are any contenders aside from Academy, which is really old at this point. I mention this since lightsabers and jedi are inseparable-a jedi without a lightsaber no longer feels like a jedi. Thus if it has good lightsaber combat, I'd argue it's doing at least a decent job of making one feel like a jedi. Granted there is another half to this, the Force which again any jedi wields. Your force capabilities in this game do feel much more limited compared to some others, but I think that's part of the point. You're not Obi Wan, Yoda, Mace Windu, or any other big name jedi-you're a random jedi who was a padawan or lower grade knight-not a master. You shouldn't be expecting to feel like an unstoppable jedi-a typical jedi would find many of the situations you find difficult in the game, or limited force usage, to be equally difficult.

Also to be fair, Star Wars has always struck me more as Science Fantasy than Science Fiction. Science fiction has rules to it where Star Wars tends to operate loose and fast lol.

Sir, I beg of you, and I hope I am not being impetuous, to make a hypothetical Manhunt 3.

The reason finding Tarfful is important is because he’s an important character in extra SW media and even appears in Episode 3. Nightsister Merrin’s magic and the Sister zombies are also something from the canon and it makes a ton of sense given the fact that we already knew zombies were a thing (for the Geonosians as well as the Nightsisters) and that the Sister’s race was wiped out by General Grievous and Count Dooku (also why Merrin hates “Jedi” so much). Also for a studio that has only ever done FPS games (MW, MW2, Titanfall 1 and 2 and Apex Legends) this is a fantastic first step into the third person melee action world and aside from the bugs that have been mostly patched out since day 1. And Ilum is also given importance with Clone Wars, there’s millions of planets of course there’s multiple frost planets

force pulling someone into my lightsaber is one of my favorite animations in video games. it’s just so satisfying

I gotta say, before watching the video, I played the whole thing once on grand master difficulty, and the largest inbalance for me was the stims. Not finding a lot makes the game very tough, it's a great challenge, but as soon as I realized I had a hard time I went and collected a bunch, and the game became much easier. The balancing feels weird, and I could get through most fights thanks to my stims rather than my skills.

To me, this game had one major problem: Ilum came too late in the story. By the time you get there you’ve explored four of the five major planets and resolved most of the conflict. In my opinion, Ilum should have come right after the first Zeffo visit. Perhaps in a fight with the Second Sister Cal’s lightsaber is badly damaged and he needs to build a new one. The level itself remains the same, just moved up in the story. Why do I say this? It’s simple. Lightsaber customization was a big part of the game’s marketing, and was likely a big factor in how many people bought it. But you don’t have access to most of the crystal colors (three, if you pre-ordered) until the game is basically over. I wanted a purple lightsaber, but was stuck with a blue one for most of my playthrough. Furthermore, there’s a line from Cere once you reach Ilum about making your own lightsaber, one separate from hers or Topal’s. But that line feels awkward and out of place if you’ve spent the entire game mixing and matching pieces for your saber. What I think you’re supposed to do is keep Topal’s lightsaber as the default combination until you reach Ilum, but nobody (including myself) would want to do that when you have the chance to customize your own laser sword. What I think should have been done was have Ilum be the third planet visited, due to breaking your original lightsaber and needing a new one. That would serve, thematically, as Cal’s reintroduction to the Jedi Order. Once you’ve gotten your crystal, THEN lightsaber customization should have been unlocked, symbolizing you (and Cal) forging your own destiny, not the one your master intended for you.

Nobody: Not a single soul: Cere: 👁 👄 👁

I felt like the game's ending made the whole story pointless at first too, because of everything the characters went through just to get their hands on the holocron only to destroy it. However, now I realize that destroying the holocron made it so that the game ended differently than how I think most people expected it to end(could be wrong). The decision also prevented it from ever falling into the wrong hands. So in the end, the end didn't make the whole story pointless, and now they can come up with a sequel, that has 4 members in the group from the start instead of 3. Originally, when I got to the part after the team escaped Darth Vader, I was thinking that the sequel(which will totally happen) was going to be about the team tracking down the different force sensitive children, but when Cal destroyed the holocron, my expectations for the sequel disappeared entirely! I have no idea what they are going to do for the sequel's story, and I partially love that and hate that at the same time. Love it because I can't easily predict what the sequel's story will be and hate it, because I can't tell whether the sequel's story will be good or bad. I'm also very concerned for the lives of the characters. If the sequel is the last game in this series, then it would make sense to kill all of the characters except for Cal. Because then, no one would want a third game without anybody else but Cal. Which means that the developers have an excellent reason to not make a third game. If they do kill all of the characters, then I'm guessing Marin will be the first to die, so Greez will be sad even though he originally feared nightsisters, and Cere will comfort Cal while he's grieving. However, that's just what I think could happen, but it doesn't mean that I want it to happen.

Learning to live with your failures and moving forward is not just a great Jedi lesson, but a great life lesson. As a college student, there is no better time to hear this lesson.

You know, I would love to hear you go through Mass Effect like this. All three parts and Andromeda.

“Diabetic sea cucumber” legitimately made me laugh out loud 😂

I think you are partially correct about the game ending on a dull/anticlimactic note since the Holocron is destroyed so unceremoniously. However, I think that is part of the actual purpose of the story. Cal needed a goal, so he latched onto the idea of bringing back the Jedi Order by retrieving the list of the children. When he made amends with his past and gained confidence, he began to seriously think about what his place was, hence his realization that the Holocron needed to be destroyed (and thanks to his future waifu's advice). It was the ending of the temporary goal on top of the protecting of these force sensitive children and the beginning of a fresh start with the Mantis crew and their new quest to discover what their new purpose is. It's the introduction to them, hence why it with the ending of one goal and the need for another, this other to come in its sequel. I think the best critique to be levied at the story is that there was not enough "filler" content with the Mantis crew. A few side missions and a few more hours of content could have helped solidify the relationships and set the crew up as a Mass Effect style crew/family, ultimately culminating at the end where each character has moved beyond their past failures and can now confidently move forward, their past failures accepted, and ready to discover their destinies in a MUCH larger galaxy. However, that's the next chapter and can only be done justice in a second full length campaign. So, while I get that the ending feels underwhelming, I'd say it is so since there was not enough character downtime akin to that of Mass Effect. If the Mantis' crew's development was the main plot, the Holocron being smashed would be a a great metaphor for each character letting their past failures/pains go, hopeful for what they can accomplish together. :)

1:46 "This is probably the most game ever made" lmao

0:55 Oh you... Saw it coming from light years away

To each their own, but I think the game was close to a masterpiece with only a few gripes. I thought the plot was incredibly well executed and gave me star wars characters that I actually care about for the first time since clone wars. They utilized the universe and source material very nicely without relying on memberberries and I thought the ending was really great. Cal saves the kids from the empire taking them while also deciding it’s not his place to change the course of their lives forever. Sure the whole reason the empire knew about the holocron was from him, but he was weaker and less connected to the force when that happened. By the end of the game he’s truly grown as a person and 1. Rights the mistake he made in accidentally tipping off the empire of the holocrons existence and 2. Ensures that the kids won’t have their lives tampered with in the end. As for gameplay, it was remarkably satisfying to weave lightsaber and force attacks together, especially as you unlock more and more abilities as the game goes on. I thought the enemy variety was very nice with each planet having different creatures and people to fight with the one constant being the empire, but that’s to be expected. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring every area for the force echoes and chests to get that 100% and unlock all the skills and max myself out, by the end of the game I really truly felt like I had grown with cal and that’s something that not many games have gotten from me. The combat was a decent challenge too and parrying just feels amazing. The choice to be able to attack while simultaneously switching saber forms was genius and helped me with a decent amount of combos to break the guard of tougher enemies. My only big gripe was that the backtracking was pretty obnoxious at times on kashyyk, outside of that though this is probably one of the best games I’ve played, and certainly the best Star Wars game I’ve ever played (granted I haven’t played kotor) but seriously, this game is something special. Haven’t been that engrossed in a game in a long time

This game just screams experiment to me. They wanted to test the waters, try as much as possible and as a result it feels inconsistent, full of shitty parts, meh parts, and outstanding parts. I'm glad it exists tho. It showed EA that these kinds of games sell, and it just might break open the path to future single player experiences that will learn from this games mistakes.

gotta love those sponsored jokes

“Dark souls doesn’t have a light saber” um, the aquamarine dagger would like to have a word.

The beauty of fallen order is that it takes solid basics of lots of other games and puts them together very nicely and cleanly into a star wars setting (using a very archetypical hero story). All this whilst keeping the game SHORT! It is the definition of less is more which is why it is one of my favourite single player action adventure games. It was so refreshing as well after the 3 sequel films whcih were absolute wank. Looking forward to number 2.

Dude you really didn't force push the missiles and grenades of the AT-ST mini-boss!?!?! *BRUH*

Well, dunno man. I was told from the start that grand master difficulty sucks and the game wasn't balanced around it so I experienced my very best jedi battle system at master one. Also I haven't met even remotely as many bugs as you had, and the final twists made me go "yes, that's the correct ending!" rather than being disappointed the plot led to nowhere apart from character growth. Thus, the game is easily 8/10 for me, and I'm only disiappointed I can't revisit the arenas and play new game plus. Great review nonetheless, keep it up!

I feel like I'm the only one that played through the whole game to 100% and didnt come across any bugs.

Bro I remember learning wall running and then it pulled up the map, so I thought I had to come back, I’m so dumb

I love that you are so in depth in your videos, keep up the good work

Great Job loved the video! ... Definitely finished the video already ....

For the battle against the AT-ST, my first playthrough I never attacked its legs with my lightsaber, I only used the force to push debris at it as well its own mines, when I replayed it I realized I could use my lightsaber to attack it this caused me look at the battle as even more diverse than I first thought. I don`t think you gave it enough credit. Great video btw

Really enjoyed this game. Gives you that sense of wonder you want from Star Wars.

This video is great because it also showed to me, as I'm playing, that this game let's you finish stuff a different way. The fight against the AT-ST on Zeffo? Well, you can also push the rockets back at the AT-ST. The tomb puzzle with the water on Zeffo? You can use the magnetic array on the opposite end of the room, then throw the burning ball into it, jump over and grab it from the magnetic field instead of freezing it mid-air. So many possibilities if you think. That's great!

"its starting to feel more like fantasy than sci-fi" uhm... you know that this is star wars right? SW was always fantasy sci fi

I think the main reason why this game is as hard as it is, and also why you say you were struggling to feel like a jedi, is exactly because Cal is only a padawan throughout most of the game! How out of place would it be if you were absolutely ripping through the empire with ease while only having received basic padawan training? I think the excruciating difficulty helps with portraying and experiencing the feeling of what it would be like to stand up against the entire empire at its prime as a padawan. Anyhow, amazing review! I just discovered your channel and I'm already binging your videos. I'm deeply impressed by your cinematic styled and well written reviews! Usually I wouldn't even bother reading the title of a video longer than 20 min, but these are all incredible! Keep it up! 👌🏻

The quality of your videos is fantastic, thank you for the content

There's actually 2 ways to solve the magnet puzzle on Zeffo. I didn't consider freezing the flame canister in midair. I actually activated the magnet on the other side of the room by the chain and cube. Then I force pushed the cannister to the other side of the room where it would be pinned against the wall by the magnet. I already liked the puzzles in this game. The fact that there's more than one solution makes me like them more

While I will agree with just about everything you've said, I feel like Star Wars has always been primarily a fantasy series in a sci-fi skin. The original movie, A New Hope, ticks practically every High Fantasy trope: the farm boy destined for greatness, meets an old wizard mentor, given a magic sword, joins a rebellion against an evil empire ruled by evil sorcerers, saves and fights alongside a princess and a rogue, etc. Almost every trope from the original trilogy, and a lot of tropes from the prequel and sequel trilogies, are cribbed from the fantasy genre. IMO that's not a criticism; actually I find it quite interesting. I just think it's ironic that you cite zombies as being the thing that pushes Star Wars into being too fantasy for your tastes, when the entire chassis the franchise is built around is already basically fantasy. EDIT: I'm dumb. I literally didn't see the top pinned comment. I've always thought it was stupid when others did stuff like this, and now I've fallen victim myself. Whoopsies my bad.

1. You can upgrade your force along the way so that you can feel like a “powerful” Jedi by finding essences and using the skill tree. 2. You can also force push the mines and the rockets back at the AT-ST. You don’t have just two options. 3. I agree with pretty much everything else those were the only things I noticed to be wrong. :)

The “zombies” on Dathomir are actually in Star Wars lore and you actually see them in the Star Wars animated series

What really grinds my gears is that you never truly sway from the path. The game makes many of the choices for you-you never go to the Dark Side, you never wear anything other than a damn poncho, you will always end up destroying the holocron, nothing matters outside of the main narrative and gameplay. What if I wanted to join the Imperials? What if I wanted to use the Dark Side? What if I wanted to wear anything else other than a poncho, like say, a suit of beskar taken from a Mandalorian bounty hunter that tried to kill me? Or what if I wanted to keep the holocron so that we can do what we originally set out to do in this game and rebuild the Jedi Order? I used to remember Star Wars games that let you do things differently. Sometimes they let you choose between the Dark Side or the Light Side in combat, where you can choose to use Dark Side powers, Light Side powers, or both. Sometimes they gave you varying outfits, from Mandalorian armor suits, to Sith Stalker Armor, industrial armor suits, or bright Jedi robes. Sometimes they would even let you change key choices or which side you end up on by the end. A character who began the story as the hero can end up becoming a Dark Lord by the end of the story. Force Unleashed allowed you to choose whether or not to spare Darth Vader. KOTOR allowed you to choose between your friends or the Sith throne, and whether or not you'll redeem or kill your Fallen Jedi girlfriend. Heck, the Episode 3 game even allows Anakin Skywalker to become the Emperor if you choose him to win the battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar; he straight-up kills Palpatine and seizes control of the galaxy, changing Sith history and galactic history forever. Or, Kyle Katarn can succeed Palpatine as Emperor in Jedi Knight 1 if he chooses to devour the life energies in the Valley of the Jedi instead of freeing all the lost souls trapped there, as a true Jedi would. His apprentice Jaden Korr can end up taking the Staff of Marka Ragnos and ruling the Empire in Jedi Academy, or destroying said staff and making Luke Skywalker proud. This doesn't make Fallen Order a bad game, it's just that it's rather limited when compared to previous offerings, especially when Lucasfilm also remastered Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy and put them on the Nintendo Switch; I mean, if I'm buying my kid a game that would show him or her the modern Jedi experience, I know what I'd prefer, and I'd prefer a game where they can choose more than just one side of the Force.

You're fighting the first AT-ST wrong. You're supposed to parry its blaster bolts and use push to send its rockets back, which will let you kill it fast without ever having to get close.

What mattered more to me about this game than anything else was the atmosphere. It not only brought back refreshing memories of playing things like Ratchet and Clank 1 and 2 on PS2, along with Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon, but it also presented me with the most authentic Star Wars experience I've ever felt playing a Star Wars game, and the Kyle Katarn series already recaptures the aesthetic extremely well. But it's the way this game combines its quieter moments and respites with its action. You have an entire planet with no Imperial enemies on it that is almost purely explorative. You have some stealth and reconnaissance sections on other planets that allow the action to build. The music isn't constantly in your face like the Dark Forces games or Ratchet and Clank (although it's light-hearted cartoon style works with the heavily themed music). Fallen Order has to be one of the most rewarding explorative gaming experience I've ever had, because of all of that. Horizon Zero Dawn had a stronger story with its main character, and The Witcher 3 had a richer world full of side-quests and intertwining story lines. But I haven't played a game that felt like this in such a long time, if ever. I felt like I was experiencing parts of Star Wars in a way I never have before, interacting with it on a more personal level. That was really damn special. I also didn't quite get the Dark Souls vibes at first, until everyone in reviews kept making the comparison. And I guess that's true. But that never played into my experience when I was actively going through the story. The combat felt solid. Dark Souls combat is even more limited if we're being honest. The in-game reason for monsters and zombies respawning in Dark Souls is great. It takes things to another level to have an in-game lore-focused reason for it. But breaking the suspension of disbelief in Fallen Order by having storm troopers do the same thing didn't really ruin it for me. I guess I was okay/accepting of the two sides of the experience. I could separate out the unrealistic elements of the gameplay with the more linear parts of story progression, and envision my experience with Cal as if he hadn't already cut down those same Storm Trooper a dozen times. It never really mattered to me, I guess because the game didn't beat me over with lengthy loading screens each time I died, it just shot me right back in. A lot of games still can't do that smoothly. But anyways.

Having played this recently, I like how they did give an arena and challenge mode for all your lightsabre power fantasy needs. You can create situations as wild or as basic as your heart's content after finishing the story.

I just recently found your channel, and you've challenged my views on several games since I started watching your videos. While you haven't really changed my overall opinion on any of those games, you have made me realize flaws that I either never saw before or just didn't want to see. This game is no exception, and again, while I still think it's an amazing game, probably far more amazing than you said here, I now realize how much some of the story and exploration could use some work, as well as some of the combat. Thanks for actually saying the things some reviewers don't want to say and challenging the views that your audience may hold about their favorite games.

I did feel like the ending rendered the story meaningless, until I thought about it. Trilla and the empire were after the holocron, too, and if Cal hadn’t gotten it, they would have. Whether he had destroyed it or not, he would still be keeping it out of their hands. (Unless I missed something…)

So I solved that rain room puzzle completely differently. I'm pretty sure the way you did it is not how it's supposed to be done.

Regarding to the soul part: You forgeth, that our jedi is just learning to be a jedi. And truth been told, as we learn to be a Jedi as well the game is getting easier and easier in every aspect. i played this game through in almost 2 days on Jedi-grand-master (i think that was the name of the highest difficulty). In the last mission i bassically killed 30 storm troopers with a single double-blade block - so awsome. It was a great experience for me :)

While I do understand a lot of these critiques, I also feel that a game doesn’t need to be wholly original to be good.

Yes, you went back multiple times to read what that last sentence was in the opening crawl

I feel as if the not enough force power to do cool force stuff isn't really an issue due the the perk that enables stims to fully charge up the force meter, and up to 10 stims available in the game makes that super useful. That perk allows for the Jedi fantasy to take place imo and aids in Cal's growth as a jedi, but only having two stims kinda gets in the way of that fantasy.

I don’t like the complaint that almost everyone gives about his game that it’s not original like 1: we live in a time that because of the internet almost nothing is original 2: this is based on another IP so it can’t be even 50% original especially since it’s cannon so it has to follow strict rules that are set also when they made this they had to be careful since Disney didn’t let them communicate with the people making episode 9 3: it’s one thing to take 1 or 2 games and mix them together or add a few things that’s not original or fun if you played the other games but it’s a different thing to take ideas and mechanics from a lot of other games and bring them together and mix them with new stuff it’s like eating toast with butter it taste mostly the same but when you add other things it becomes a sandwich that could be unique to you when you add other stuff or you can make a basic ham and cheese sandwich 4: Yeah this game is cliché but it’s freaking Star Wars every movie even the original trilogy had cliche moments sure it pulls you out of the immersion but still you’re in a video game you can pause leave and come back at any time breaking the immersion doesn’t feel like a genuine complaint 5: the story is rendered useless because of the end but they destroyed the holocron because if they didn’t and raised the kids in the ways of the force than they would have the same or similar fate as trilla and if cal didn’t destroy it then the empire would’ve gotten it anyway and the children would still suffer the same fate You do bring up a lot of good points like how Buggy it is and it’s been almost a year and they haven’t fixed a lot of the bugs but still I think this game is a lot better than you say you keep sticking to games in the past which you should do as a reviewer but it’s like every 5-10 minutes your like “hey this game is good but it’s never going to be better or even as good as dark souls”

dude your videos are AMAZING

Bruh, watch the clone wars, all of the night sister stuff is cannon and also Star Wars was always a fantasy before science fiction soooooo

17:40 I did that part completely different lol I turned on the wall magnet thing on the other side then threw the ball at the wall so it wouldn't drop before making my way over turning off the mag and retrieving the ball

Thank you for mentioning Darksiders a bunch of times, it feels so nice to hear someone else say it's name in so long

I'm really glad they added the New Journey+ and the arena thing to fight in, helps a lot with the endgame issues.
