Survivor picks up five years after Fallen Order with a more battle-hardened Cal Kestis. With all that in mind, I can tell you without a doubt that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is one of the best single-player games you will play in a year filled with massive titles, whether you’re a fan of the IP or not A few years after a long time ago… Image via Respawn Entertainment I know that the latter is not a popular opinion, but traditional Star Wars stories just don’t do it for me. My favorite game in the series is Star Wars Episode I: Podracer, and my favorite movie is The Last Jedi. I can understand why it is one of the most popular franchises out there, but it never latched onto me. But the best thing about Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is how, despite all the ways this installment expands upon the previous game, it's still very much the same in how it effortlessly mixes smooth hack-and-slash combat, clever problem-solving, and inventive exploration into an epic sci-fi story worthy of the name Star Wars.To be totally upfront here from the start I am not a Star Wars fan. This game also corrects one of the few annoyances of Fallen Order, as you no longer have to walk all the way back to your ship and can instead instantly move between meditation points, of which there are many on every world. Or how to wield a cross-like lightsaber that's slower and heavier but more powerful. So as Cal continues to try to rebuild the Jedi Order and take down the Empire, he learns some new abilities over the course of this new adventure - like how to use a grappling hook to reach out-of-the-way places. He can even duel lightsabers proficiently.īut, as they say, one should never stop learning. He can briefly slow time, and use that finger-waving brainwashing trick that Obi-Wan is so good at. Not only does he start this epic adventure with all the skills he had at the end of the previous game - hence, why he can still use the Force to shove or pull enemies, run along walls, or do a mid-air double-jump - but he has also learned new skills in the interim. In the five years that have passed sine the end of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Cal clearly didn't just sit on the couch drinking caf and watching vids. Having learned how to be a Jedi in the previous game, former Padawan Cal Kestis continues his education in this action-packed adventure game.
