Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Review
Ойындар
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor reviewed by Dan Stapleton on PlayStation 5. Also available on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
"Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes what Fallen Order did and wall-runs with it, then double-jumps and air-dashes straight into an epic lightsaber battle. Rather than taking us back to square one to begin Cal’s journey as a Padawan again, we’re trusted with control of a full-fledged Jedi Knight who we can grow into a master of superhuman mobility and fantastic and challenging combat. With a new set of larger, more diverse, and densely packed worlds to explore and a memorable cast of returning characters, Survivor tells a story that may be predictable at times but is still fun and emotional to watch play out. Launch performance issues aside, it’s a sequel that does virtually everything better than the original - which was already an exceptional Star Wars game. If Respawn makes one more like this it’ll be the best Star Wars trilogy in 30 years, hands down."

The fact that this is a sequel that isn't a "start from level 0" is already a big W for me. Never played a sequel like that before.

The most impressive part of this game was that it didn't decrease any of your powers from the end of the previous game, but somehow made you feel as though you were still a young Jedi who was learning and discovering new abilities. It was a tremendously well done game.

Ah, real Star Wars. Well done developers, well done.
Just wondering if others also have problems with lag on Performance mode on PS5?
Why the hell was the 1st one not like this? And why dont we have a star wars game like the witcher or somethin comparable? Open world, do your own thing, build your own sabre, turn dark if you want. Why??
Looks amazing, super excited to get my hands on it this weekend!

No way that a game with so much performance problems should get a 9. Does IGN even play the games they review?
