Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - PlayStation 4

I’m happy that I was able to purchase this game for $40. I have been anxious to play this game, but I didn’t want to spend $60 at launch. The game has a great story and expands on each characters own character arc. My only complaint is that it was difficult to master the double jump. I watched a couple of YouTube videos that helped me figure out how to jump further. I wasn’t expecting to jump once and again in the air. Maybe I missed something in the tutorial as a Padawan. The planets are massive enough that you can spend hours searching for crates. I wasn’t a big fan of the ponchos. I found myself mostly roaming around without the poncho. The lightsaber builds are fun. I wish there were more options for cosmetics. I can’t wait to see a DLC in the future.So, I’ve been playing Star Wars games for years. I can’t possibly list all of the Star Wars games that I have played. For the longest time, I think the Force Unleashed was my favorite. The game has a great story and an awesome throwback to the older movies. The Force Unleashed II was okay but it failed to present a good story. This game is not like the Force Unleashed. The character is not a sith and does not posses a lot of power. It takes time for Cal to develop his force abilities. Even after he develops his powers he is still no match against the most iconic character in Star Wars. The game has more challenges and puzzles.

It all started out well enough, I got this as a 3rd anniversary present for my husband as it is the "crystal anniversary .""Happy anniversary" I said, "I got you a kyber crystal" I joke and he accepted his gift with glee.When selecting his level, he was about to pick Jedi Knight (medium) and I jokingly referred to him as a derogatory term for female genitalia. Enraged, he selected the hard level, Jedi Master. He struggled through the game for a month before I got a chance to play. This is where things started to get ugly.I selected the Jedi Knight level for my playthrough. On the second day, my husband watched me make my way through the base where I came upon an electrostaff purge trooper. He started to give me the "oh man, this will take you a few tries. You're going to die." When I took one swipe at the enemy and force pushed them off the bridge. Literally a 2 second fight." You cant do that!" He exclaimed indignantly "it's because you're on story mode!." But I'm not on story mode. "Well you cant do that on the level I'm on!" Maybe you can, you just didn't think to do it.He sat there stewing for a half hour before I paused the game to go to the bathroom. When I returned, the game controller was in his hands. What did you do? "Nothing" he shrugs "maybe you should go fight that Jotaz though." I attempt to fight the beast several times, and though always just shy of killing it, I am never successful. I check my level settings and they have been changed to Grand Jedi Master, the max difficulty, well beyond both our skill level. Such pettiness, such deceit, from the man I married.The next day as he plays, he fights a bounty hunter and a droid on Dathomir. As he is slain, the droid looms over his corpse and spits "ha, some jedi". Enraged, he quits for the day.I see this opportunity for my revenge. Randmonly throughout the day, be it passing by each other, while he's grabbing the mail, when he's on the toilet I say "ha, some jedi" with the same disdain as the droid. It hits him where it hurts.I spread the magic phrase at work to our coworkers in secret. One day, while at the copier, my husband drops a paper. As he reaches down, a pair of shoes appears and when he looks up, he sees one of his coworkers looming over him. "Ha, some jedi."Anyway, now were getting a divorce. Great game, 5/5, would recommend.

This game, I was a little wary about when it came to fighting with complicated controls and the game sounding a lot like mortal kombat which is the hardest game I have ever played. When I received the game, I was excited to play it and very hopeful that the game was great since I preordered it 3 weeks earlier. When I got around to playing the game itself, it was so much fun, I loved the fighting styles, the actual intensity of every fight which put you in the characters shoes, the timing to parry the AI's attacks was absolutely amazing, it made you really feel like you were playing the character. Basically, this game is so fun to play, I really like the fighting mechanics, the story itself is amazing and the fact that there is no "play to win" mechanics, or just multiplayer in general is great too since I live in a location that doesn't allow me to play online with others, but anyways the fact that I thought this game was a total reck changed in a matter of two minutes. I would definitely recommend this game, and don't get mad at the game just because you keep dying, practice makes perfect I always say.The only downside to this game that I didn't like is the loading screen, it takes almost a minute to revive your character which I think is unfair because in order for you to be in-depth with a video game, you have to keep playing it and the fact to wait for you to revive when you die is definitely not a good trait in a video game so that is the only advice I have for the developers, but other than that this game was the best, I would give it a 10/10 even for that downside.I hope you liked my review and If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
