Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Reviews

One of the biggest surprises of 2019 was Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Respawn’s Souls-like take on the Star Wars franchise. After a few massive disappointments with the Battlefront games, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was proof that EA was actually capable of publishing a half-decent Star Wars game. This was done by letting the developers follow their vision without corporate interference, something we would also see in 2020’s fantastic Star Wars: Squadrons. Fallen Order is also now avail...

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has a string of wisely chosen influences, and it delivers on the long-overdue promise of a fun Jedi action-adventure. Bugs and design wrinkles irritate.

Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order brings a unique take to the world of Star Wars by implementing a Soulslike element to it. This is an excellent immersive adventure with flashy moves, incredible music, remarkable graphics, and a fantastic story that does a great job of setting up the next game.

EA alongside Respawn Entertainment have just produced a solid Star Wars game with the very authentic Jedi: Fallen Order.

Star Wars Jedi: The Fallen Order is decent, but could have been more. The lack of depth in its combat weighs down the entire experience. Fancy animations and good visuals simply can’t hide the Fallen Order’s key failings. Whether or not the lack of depth is a result of the attempt to make ‘Souls-like’ accessible falls to debate, a debate that is more interesting than the game itself.

Overall I enjoyed the heck out of Fallen Order. The characters kept me engaged, the combat challenged me. Even after beating the story, I can go back and collect secrets to find out more about the worlds in Fallen Order, collect more lightsaber parts, upgrade my skills to the max and continue to have engaging fights. What is more amazing is that this is a game from a developer, Respawn, who is known for it’s Titanfall series and very popular Battle Royal, Apex Legends. It is amazing to see a developer step out of its comfort zone and into a different genre. It is definitely worth a pick up and my favourite game this year overall.

Ever since the first few “Star Wars” games, the company had failed to suffice their fans for the releases of the games. This time, Respawn Entertainment took the opportunity with to make “Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. Respawn Entertainment is very experience with games that has a futuristic touch like their Titanfall franchise. “Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order” has entered the market in PC, Xbox One and PS4. Well, I’m sure all of you are here waiting for the review so let’s get to ...

Thoughtful, challenging combat, plenty of variation in all facets and a narrative that hits the mark, this is the singleplayer Star Wars experience that many of us have been waiting for

This is it, this is the one we've all been waiting for. Here's to hoping that, in the future, whether it's DLC or another installment altogether, that this team from the developers at Respawn can come at this again.

Decimate legions of poor, innocent Stormtroopers in Respawn's Star Wars adventure.

For such a hotly-anticipated game set in such a fan-favourite franchise, Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is surprisingly stripped of its own identity.

The Star Wars franchise has been having plenty of up and downs in recent years. Following the release of the original movie trilogy, the universe created by George Lucas has been expanded considerably, but sadly not always in the best way. The first two entries in the latest movie trilogy (due to end next month with Rise of Skywalker) have disappointed some fans, who now look cautiously at any new product related to the franchise. The same happened to Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order back when it was announced: the game looked like Uncharted in space and, generally, as a derivative experience that was set to fail in the eyes of many. Respawn, however, has proven with all three games they developed so far(Titanfall, Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends) that they know how to create compelling gaming experiences, and the team has worked its magic again with Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, releasing an excellent action-adventure game that can be rightly considered among the best games based on the popular franchise.

You’re going to occasionally roll your eyes at a cheesy moment or groan at a technical issue, but Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order stands alone as an action game devoid of its Star Wars influence. If you grin at the mere mention of the phrase “kyber crystals,” you’ll get even more out of it.

Less of a Padawan, more of a Master.

Even though only Siths deal in absolutes, I can say without remorse that STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order is absolutely amazing.

“Fallen Order isn't original, but it's a fantastic romp any Star Wars fan should play.”

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has some technical issues and poor pacing but is still an amazing single-player Star Wars game.

Few games have had as much to prove as Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. After the particularly frigid reception to Star Wars Battlefront II’s monetisation model, publisher Electronic Arts needed to prove that it can produce Star Wars games that are simply good games, and not simply complicated schemes to wring money from players. To that end, Respawn Entertainment, the developers behind the Titanfall franchise, have developed a single-player, story-driven Star Wars game that with no multiplaye...

Almost perfect if not for the nitty-gritty. If it’s quite there but not enough to push the boundaries, it’s still an awesome game.

Respawn's latest combines strong level design, excellent puzzles, compelling platforming, great combat, gorgeous visuals, and a fun story to make the best Star Wars game in over a decade.

It strikes a nice balance between games like Dark Souls and Tomb Raider by implementing Star Wars elements to make the mechanics it’s own. If not for the occasionally bugged out enemy, slow texture loads, and lack of colorblind options, I would say it is near perfect.

Respawn did nothing to reinvent the wheel, but instead married a bunch of popular gameplay genres together into a cohesive whole, wrapped up in well-crafted Star Wars story. It may not be KOTOR levels of greatness, but it's good. And I think that's exactly what fans needed right about now.

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a decade since The Force Unleashed 2, the last single-player centric Star Wars game, released. Besides the two frequently-panned Battlefront games, since EA got the exclusive license to produce Star Wars games in 2013, all we’ve gotten are mediocre-to-poor mobile titles. I was skeptical of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, not because of its developer, Respawn Entertainment, but because the publisher, EA, has failed to leverage the license in any meaningful way.

By increasing difficulty, ratcheting back Force powers, and developing compelling characters, Jedi: Fallen Order delivers a worthy expansion to the Star Wars galaxy.

When the game's story, setting, puzzles, exploration, and combat all come together; they add up to something truly special. This is a must-play Star Wars experience that is likely to become a game of the year contender not just for fans of the franchise, but for anyone who loves a unique and challenging action-adventure title.

While Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is strong with the Force, it's held back slightly by some irritating bugs. Fortunately, none of them can detract from the overall experience, its superlative combat and absorbing, enjoyable take on the Star Wars universe.

Gameplay is solid from the start and gains depth, transforming you into a Jedi badass. Respawn has also nailed the Star Wars universe, for better (sights, sounds, and cinematic feel) and worse (cringey dialogue and vacuous plot).

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is exactly the kind of single player game we had originally hoped to see when EA and Disney joined forces. Even if you strip away the license, you’re left with a super satisfying mix or combat, story, and exploration, deftly crafted by a studio best known for spearheading an entirely different genre.

Much like what Arkham Asylum did for Batman games, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sets the new standard for Star Wars titles. Not only is it a great Star Wars game, it is also the best game of the year.

Despite the issues I encountered and the ways in which I feel Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is lacking, however, it’s still a very good game indeed. Its blend of action and adventure works brilliantly for the most part, and once you’ve acquired all of the powers at your disposal, you do often truly feel like a Jedi; there’s nothing quite like using Force Push to send an entire squadron of Stormtroopers off the edge of a cliff to their inevitable doom. Players are likely to encounter some frustrations throughout the adventure though. The Force is strong with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but sometimes glimpses of the dark side seep through.

Jedi: Fallen Order is a flawed, sometimes messy game, but it’s a Star Wars experience I didn’t know I wanted. And after finishing it, I definitely want more.

There’s been a great disturbance in the Force. It’s as if millions of fans cried out in skeptical fear, then were suddenly silenced. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is finally upon us and it’s ready to stop the jaded masses dead in their tracks. After seemingly eons away from the single-player space, the Star Wars universe is back with vengeance, and this time they’ve brought along some new friends to join in the adventure. Could this finally be the proverbial, “solo experience” droid we’ve been so desperately looking for?

After the great commotion caused by the first, fantastic episode of The Mandalorian, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order storms the gaming world. This is a production that brings new hope for the upcoming games in the famous universe.

After the great first episode of The Mandalorian, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order strikes back in the gaming world. This is a production that brings new hope for further games in the Star Wars universe.

It’s been ages since we got a great single-player Star Wars action game, but Jedi: Fallen Order makes up for a lot of lost time. A strong cast sells a dark story while keeping things fun and loyal to Star Wars lore, and fast, challenging combat mixes with energetic platforming, decent puzzles, and diverse locations to explore for an all-around amazing game.

No summary available

A raw, untamed power courses through Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Much like a Padawan in training, this game is a student of the Force, not a master. The lightsaber is used skillfully, twirling in exhilarating ways to chop down Imperial troops, and the Force flows into acrobatic movements, but the Padawan’s motions are rough and unrefined. This inexperience fits with the story of a Jedi losing touch with the Force, but is more of a reflection of Jedi: Fallen Order missing a coat of polish.

While Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has some exciting combat and moments of genuinely interesting storytelling and acting, it just falls short of hitting the mark. It borrows heavily from several genres without actually adding anything new to the conversation. That’s not to say it’s bad, it just didn’t leave me wanting to revisit this galaxy.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is an absolute masterpiece. Well paced, written, and executed, the game is Respawn’s best thus far.
