Fun detail: Cere didn't die in Cal's arms, he arrived a good bit later and the entire time we play as her is a force echo Cal is sensing after finding her body. You can tell from the flames vanishing instantly after Cere dies, as well as the distortion at the edges of the screen while Cal is holding her that goes away with the flames

THAT WAS A YEAR AGO BRO TIME FLIES I FLET LIKE I GOT THIS GAME YESTERDAY

The Cletus Kestis look is wild for all the dramatic scenes 😂

16:35 when Bode gives cal the advice to pursue merrin i actually didn't think there was anything weird about it because the game let's you know multiple times that Bode is a father, which one can only become through a romantic relationship (usually). So I figured he was just alluding to how his relationship led to his daughter whom he very obviously cares for so it was all worth it. Thus, he was paying it forward saying that those relationships are always worth it

I feel like the late reviews of games are better because by then all the hype has died down and you can look at the game more critically and not be influenced by the high you’re riding of a first time playthrough.

the Coruscant is so stunning, a Cyberpunk open world game with that setting is the ultimate dream

This game is literally peak Star Wars. I wish my dad could have played it, he loved the force unleashed and he got me into Star Wars

Bode's betrayal truly shocked me. You could tell he never wanted to do it, but he had to, and his death was really sad for me and another character I really liked was Rayvis he was a honorable warrior and on grandmaster it took me like 10 tries to win him and Vader were easily the hardest story boss fights I liked Rayvis because the end of his story was good the best characters in the game are Rayvis Bode and well obviously Darth Vader himself

I absolutely fell in love with Fallen Order when I first played it in 2019 because I was growing up at the time, I was a senior in high school and I was fighting some demons and was uncertain about my future. Cere's quote was my saving grace: "We will always struggle, but that is the test. It's the choice to keep fighting that makes us who we are.” That game saved me. When Survivor came out last year the story didn't really resonate with me at the time. But just a few weeks ago I built my first gaming PC and replayed this game. Performance issues aside this game really resonated with me this time around. I literally sobbed at the end where Cal is reflecting over Cere's grave. It's been a hard year for me, trying my hardest to make it as an adult and feeling like I'm not good enough, fighting my own dark side and being on the verge of destruction, and just barely keeping it at bay. Some days its all I can do just to complete basic daily tasks. Cal's progression in this game simply paralleled my own in something so poetic and personal that it struck a deep chord with me. The Hero's Journey story is what Star Wars has always been about since 1977, it makes everything so relatable and reachable. I play these games because of the story. These games have changed my life. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Jedi Survivor has become my favorite to enjoy Star Wars. Fantastic story, great combat, strong exploration, and to top it all off Panchos. All jokes aside the customizable aspects of the game ate up most of my play time.

I love games like this. It´s just a long eventful ride with good story, characters and gameplay with no bullshit. Also I love that this game SLAPS at some moments. When Cal and Merrin where jumping through portal around that drilling thing, I was just screaming in excitement.

32:05 btw a cool detail is, you can crush the big robots when you push them to you, its such a nice way to put out his darkness.

I don't think it was contrived that the arrays allowed the mantis crew to make it to tanalor. They had to make the compass some how and also stated in game before the big twist that Dagan was the first to navigate the void so it's implied that the arrays allowed him to do such

Bode's betrayal still stings. I started the game going "Oh, this guy is definitely gonna betray me", but then I loved his character so much I forgot all about my misgivings. Then he killed Cordova 😢

Huge props to respawn for fixing some of the minor annoyances from fallen order. Introducing fast travel, giving the option to remove fall damage, and replacing the “slow” ability were very welcome changes

I got this for my birthday on June 7th. My friend bought it before me and we couldn’t stop talking about it; when I finally got to play it I was SO hyped, and it superseded my expectations, the graphics, story, characters ect, I love this game with all my heart and it will be a very memorable experience for many years

PS5 user here. Performance was never an issue for me. I love this game and loved it since day 1. Modern gaming hates the PC, talking about AAA games here, like Elden Ring and ReRemake 4 having issues that PS5 didn’t have half as much. Jedi Survivor improved the open world exploration and the LIGHTSABER MOVESETS ARE THE BEST IN THIS GAME!

Insane to think it’s been a year since this dropped

As much as the twist with Bode surprised me and caught me off guard, which I loved, I do slightly like the story of Fallen Order more than Survivor. It was just so standalone and original.

29:12 (Edit) Dank ferrik. Jacobcenter beat me to it. I believe she doesn't die in Cal's arms. I think that Cal finally woke up, returned to the Archives and found Cere's body. As he touches her, his Psychometry activates and he sees all of the Cere playable parts and then her death at Vader's hands. Sure she looks right at Cal but that could be because of precognition as she's joining the Force and sees Cal holding her corpse. Now for why I think this? As she "falls" into Cal's arms, the borders of the screen turn blurry like a vision. That and the fact as Cal finally cries, everything "turns" dark around him. We're returning to his present and nothing's left except for a little light and falling ash from Cere's fight.

Loved the video! Also how I stumbled across this video with no knowledge of your second channel, Ozzy, this was one hell of a great video! I replayed Jedi Survivor too and noticed so much regarding Bode, like you explained in the video, and it just makes it so much better. This might be one of the best games I've played!

I remember thinking that Bode would betray Cal when he was introduced, then they bonded and i thought, oh that a good guy, it was always an up and down with him, at the end i was convinced hes good and i aas absolutely gutted when he finally did betray cal

The story only has such a great feel is because of how the first one sets it up

fire vid bro i really like ur vids they are high quality especially for a channel just starting out i seriously thought this was a channel thatd been up for years already best of luck and god bless

The only thing I wish this game did differently was keep cal on the dark side. By the end of the game he goes through so much pain and suffering just to have him brought back from his hate by Merrin. They could have kept him going into a possible 3rd game with anger giving us even more gameplay options by having cal be able to use both sides of the force. The story could even be cals trust in the force as he struggles with his new emotion wanting him to explore both sides of the force while pushing away his friends and people who care about him. Could have even kept bode alive so he can be the main villain going into the next game or have him be a sorta prisoner who cal goes to for advice on the dark side and obviously setting up a redeem ark for bode

Quality of this guy with 12.2k subscriber base is shocking! Amazing work man! ❤

The sad part about Bode’s death is Cal hesitated to shoot him and only did when he realized Bode attempted to shoot him without hesitation

I love how you slowly update Cal's hair and look over the course of your story summary. Nice touch 😂

i loved the lightsaber customization in the game i spend up to half an hour looking what goes well together

I hope the third installment features more legacy planets. I know there is an argument to be made with old planets being overused in new stories for nostalgia baiting, but I think respawn could create a really beautiful world that’s fun to explore if they used a setting like Bespin, Cato Nemoidia, or Lothal. Edit: assuming it makes sense for Cal to visit in the context of the adventure that he’s on.

Great video, great game - can’t wait for the next one

The way you've custom your character is gold🤣🤣🤣

I'm actually doing a one year live stream of this game. I'm glad that there are other people doing one year later celebration.

I just platinum the game yesterday so this is perfectly timed

I love this game, and i love you. great breakdown and review x

great review great content and very nice humor. gg's mate and thanks for this video!

One of the greatest games Ive ever played. Underrated as hell.

A little over a year later, I have so much love for this game and its predecessor. Top 10 fav games all time for me. Cal❤️❤️

absolutely loved your analysis, you deserve so much more than 10k subs

For future reference, and to prevent the nerds who get mad when you call a moon a planet for simplicity’s sake, you can just call them “worlds”.

just got this and im so wowed its amazing

The reviews weren't bad because of the story. The reviews were bad because the game was a horrible buggy unoptimized mess for some people. In fact most reviewers I watch, loved the game but couldn't recommend it because it was a mess. I just played for the first time and I had to give up on side content and rush the main story because my game was crashing constantly. And I have a 4090, 13900k and 64GB of ram. So a year later and for some people the game is still a mess. I didn't have frame rate issues like people had on release. I had constant crashes.

I played on pc and experienced a few minor issues but even with those it still blows fallen order out of the water

I absolutely loved this game when it came out. The story was gripping, the combat was fun, and the exploration was rewarding. I consider it the best single player game I played in 2023. Awesome video by the way! Came up in my recommended and definitely will be checking out more of your stuff!

34:04 You thought you could sneak this one past us, huh 😂

Honestly the Cere scene where she gives BD1 the archive code thing has to be a callback to A New Hope where Leia gives R2D2 the Death Star Plans before the empire attacks the Tantive IV

30:07 true introduction of our GOAT, 50. Cal Kestis

I'm surprised that you didn't mention the sountrack. Barton and Haab really outdid themselves.

Excellent video, great job, also great game

Loved this game. My first playthrough was genuinely one of the funnest times I’ve had playing a story game. It was just a complete blast. I was overly hyped for this game and it didn’t disappoint me

I just finished my second run through. Loved it much more second time around. Not to say I didnt enjoy the first run but I took my time for a much more thorough journey.

In the first moment I saw Bode I knew the betrayal was coming. But yeah, it still hurts. Looking forward to jedi 3.

The scene with Bode’s home at the ISB headquarters is so tense, and I love it. You know that Bode hasn’t begun fighting because 1) he knows Cal has a lot of questions and 2) because Kata is there. If Kata wasn’t there, Bode’d have ignored the first reason and started throwing force hands.

Rick the Door Technician is my favorite boss fight… because you have this very cocky scout trooper who, despite his boss health bar, has normal amounts of HP, and you can just wipe your ass with his defeat so easily. My favorite way to kill him is to lift him up into the air, then slam him down, then up again, then slam him down, then up, and then down again. 3 of each, and he dies. You disrespect him so hard

When I played through this game, my save glitched somehow and I couldn’t do any bounty missions, finished the entire game without ever unlocking that section of the pause menu

That mullet looks so good on Cal. I love it!!

Just got around to it this week and i finished it in 2 days. Didnt think they could top the first game but they blew it out of the water. So much fun.

Man… what a game. This video got me all back in my feels for this game. Such incredible characters, I’m so glad I was blessed to be able to play this game. Thank you for this reminder. Great video

I absolutely had Bode pegged the instant he is introduced.

I've been playing the game recently because of may the fourth and wanting to revisit the game and honestly its super good, i don't think I've seen a single performance issue at the point I'm at and the game seems way more polished then it was at launch

I loved this game so much

Excellent video

First video I’ve seen of yours (I think lol), very nicely done! My coworker and I shared a sentiment we heard shortly after launch: As a Star Wars game, solid 8/10 As a Star Wars story, 11/10 Villains were wonky at times, but served their purposes at each step. The disastrous launch held this game back in a lotta ways, but I trust Respawn to learn from this for the conclusion of this trilogy.

I liked dagon, he had crazy potential to be one of the greats in villainy

Great job!

If this game, or the next one, had/has online capabilities and/or DCL content, I just legit wouldn’t stop playing. I LOVED both the Jedi games, but I just wish there was some option for coop play

Imo this game is a 10/10. The risks an the darkness the developers took to make Cal even more depth i love it and the main cast and side characters make these 2 games beautiful cx i truly cant wait for thr 3rd finale and hope they do everyone Justice

Great video man.

You had me at "Bigger, Better, Deeper" 😅

I loveeeeee your Videos i need moreeee

This story is better than anything in the prequels and sequels combined, and to me, on par with the originals and Andor.

Cal: "LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHING DAGAN, JEDI OF THE HIGH REPUBLIC: "

I'm definitely the type suckered in by character driven stories and great dialogue writing, so I can forgive and ignore contrivances (hence why I personally loved TLoU2 and was willing to forgive some of the "Hollywood" decisions made) if it means helping the characters along, so I can agree that at its core, Survivor's story is held up by its strong cast, despite the fact High Republic weak points. I adored this game last year, and I adore it this year. I plan to replay it soon, but I love that at the very least, this game is still appreciated even now.

A year ago and it still limps on my PC

People were initially very confused at how Cere very nearly killed Vader. “He’s Vader, nobody is as strong as him!”… except it happens quite often in the comics. Cere technically only reached the level of Jedi Knight, however her skills in the force and lightsaber combat matched that of a master during her time as a Survivor. The video does go on to explain that she let go of her fear, and this is true and it does further explain her increased levels in power. She is delved into the Light Side, giving her a large advantage against Vader. Yes, Vader is actually nearly killed. He barely hobbles away from the fight, and it is canon in this event that he was going to lose if not for his quick thinking very last second. He only won because Cere did a very dumb move in leaping at him instead of being caution. She honestly could have killed him if she didn’t get reckless and hasty towards the end. However, that would end up screwing with the entirety of the Star Wars timeline from that point on XD

As a steam player, the performance issues are still constant. The double frog fight was a chugging mess, the game crashes a lot in the back half, and many steam achievements just will not trigger. 1 year on this is completely unacceptable from a developer with this many resources at its disposal

U CANNOT TELL ME IT WAS RELEASED ONE YEAR AGO NOW WAY. mannn i feel like it just released still

I love these video ideas, I look forward to seeing more!

Cal turning to the dark side is one of the top moments in gaming

Odd quirk of this game on release was that the three players in my friendship group who had average computers (my best mate only just met the minimum) had a pretty enjoyable experience on release. The two with massively overkill systems (bloody accountants - go figure) had nothing but problems even getting the game to run. Really weird.

one of my favourite games. easily

Just finsihed this game finally a few days ago. It's an honest 9.2/10 for me

I downloaded this game 2 days ago and the crashing issues on PC have not been fixed, had to turn off Raytrace to stop the crashing and it still has random hangs. EA = gimmie that money.... see ya!

One of my favorite games that I have played recently! I can also tell you with upmost certainty that the hardest boss is Rick the door technician, took me hours….

Idc game should’ve got nominated for game of the year. Never experienced any issues on the ps5 and the game itself had improved immensely with customization, intricate gameplay, and the map. It was on par or even better than Spider-Man2

One thing I actually really liked about this game was that I was suspicious of Bode from the beginning. But they got me to let my guard down and trust him. Which I think makes his betrayal easier to connect with Cal about.

This game was great. Played on series x a month after release. Little to no issues on my end. 10/10

I think that now Cal is finally becoming a jedi master

Why do I have a feeling that in Jedi 3, Cal will die and we’ll play as Kata at like the near end of the game.

I saw Bodes betrayal coming shortly before it happened. It was the "we don't have to do this conversation" they had (i think while the compass was being repaired)

I think Cal is the most interesting and developed character is Star Wars full stop. Maybe Vader / Anakin beats him, but a close second.

“Aggressive crack heads that wanna throw down like there’s no tomorrow” lol 😂 I like to use dual because rapid fire attacks and if you need you can cancel attacks with block

i wonder how the rest of cal’s story will play out with stig asmussen gone

One year later, after I had to upgrade my PC and needed the implementation of DLSS the game actually runs, needing a 30 series card (got a 4070 ti now) for a game, when people that have 30 or 40 series cards are only a small minority in the community, is first of all a joke. Secondly, even after all this time I have considerable crashes, when I'm on a Discord stream my game just dies and my PC with it (my voice getting robotic on Discord and the PC stuttering with the game) and it doesn't go away until I restart the PC, the world is still very buggy, lots of textures you can just go through because of a lack of solid walls, many many lighting issues, my screen flickering at times because of rendering issues, Raytracing doesn't work without crashing your game and a bunch of other minor issues... This is how I would've expected the game to be at launch... yet when I played it at launch the experience was obviously infinitely worse, this game has not been taking care of well... it's really a shame calling this a finished product

it has not been a year i dont believe it nor will i think about it

I can't take your Cal serious man 😭😭 dude look like Valterri Bottas

love ur vids! keep up the good work!

Great video! I agree with everything you said. This is up there as one of my all time favorite games (I might be biased because of how much I love Star Wars), and I’m glad that people are looking back at the game now that a lot of the performance issues and bugs have been fixed. However, one aspect of the game that I think people are missing in these reviews are the side characters. I loved walking through the cantina every time I came back to Rambler’s Reach and talking to each and every person there. It was fun to find people out in the world and then get to hear their stories each time I came back to the cantina. Not to mention I couldn’t help but get a huge grin on my face every time I came across Skoova Stev, and get to hear his adventures as a fisherman. At the end of the game (and after you’ve heard the rest of their dialogue), a lot of the characters leave Koboh to get away from the new imperial presence. There were a lot of characters that I was sad to see go because over the course of my gameplay I felt like I really got to know them. By the end, the cantina has a lot fewer people and it made the ending of the game hit harder as more and more characters leave. That was one aspect of the game that I really appreciated and interacted with, and I don’t really see anyone mention it in these reviews.

Not only did I platinum this game, I 100% explored and collected and every single thing possible in the game that there is to do, I did. I’m not sure if there’s many people who did that but I loved it so much that I spent 120 hours doing it. Probably my favorite game along with fallen order that I’ve ever played. Loved the video.
