- Thank you guys so much for watching my videos! It means so much to me!
Jedi: Survivor is the sequel to Jedi: Fallen Order. A praised game from the developers of Respawn Entertainment. In this video, I take a dive and explain why this game failed to reach the greatness of it's previous entry. I go from explaining gameplay mechanics and combat, all the way to characters and the story!

The Darth Vader fight with Cere was an outright insult to Darth Vader. I don’t get protective of Star Wars like some super fan, but Vader should been toying with Cere until he decides to Force-Finger-Snap her into literal dust
bode’s story makes sense, but why is his light saber red? It was soo on the nose and made me just groan. Why does every character that’s not a bleeding-heart Jedi need to have a red saber? Dagan bleeding his saber was corny and stupid too, but it didn’t bother me until Bode had a red saber
"Mediocre" is a bit too vague. I'd say "formulaic".
I found Fallen Order super... Meh. I could see it being 9/10 for many, but for me, it was 5/10. Nothing really clicked: The platforming was too restrictive, on rails and too long, the combat was imprecise and unresponsive at times (I still don't know where the i-frames on the dodge are) and the story... I don't know if it's just because I skipped all the the optional dialogue, but mane... It's meandering McGuffing fetch quest.
So did Survivor fair any better? Slightly... Now it's 6/10. It's fine. It's nothing special. Combat is better: It feels more consistent (maybe not more responsinve) with more options and stuff to play with. Platforming is less tedious with having more moves and more wacky sections. The story is... It's not better or worse...
But it's still just meh. Combat is still weirdly floaty and janky. I don't know if it's the animations or the weird pacing (fast speed, but still being locked in animations)... Navigation is still just Uncharted style "tilt analog stick and press button sometimes". There's no actual improvements in design, like the most obvious would be to make it more of a "rhytm game" as nothing requires precision in it.
And also, the collectibles and side-content is still poopoo. Never did I care to do any of it, knowing it's just cosmetics. I dunno why, but I think microtransactions and battlepasses have made me actively not give a shit about cosmetics anymore... I never buy them so... Why would I unlocked them either? So yeah that's fun, thank you video game industry for ruining this thing for me...
And yeah, your comparison to God of War reboot was accurate. I found that game 5/10 too, but seeing it could be 10/10 for many. It was just so "GOTY-baity", doing design stuff just because it's an "industry standard". It's like they took a generic ARPG boilerplate and slapped Kratos into it.
It felt so proficiently made, yet had no soul, like a modern Marvel movie. It didn't do anything interesting at the end. Except... With the story. Same thing with Ragnarök: It does interesting story stuff... But nothing in gameplay, really. The whole game design was absolutely dreadfully generic and mediocre in these 2 games, but the story tangling its keys next to you took a lot of your attention away. It's much more noticable if you replay the games, of how dull and awkward they are. You see this with many of these 10/10 Sony "Hollywood" games like Uncharted 4 or Horizon Zero Dawn.
Same applies to Jedi Survivors, but now imagine having no interesting story 90% to keep you distracted with? Yeah... But there is 1 thing and that's Bode. He single-handledly saves the story, he's the sole reason you care to keep going.
I also gotta say that I'm not a star wars fan. Like no, not "I'm not a big star wars fan": Like actually don't give a shit, never have. That probably has a massive impact on the enjoynment of these games...

I love your content
I thought the game was good but I think the enemy should have been the Empire… hunting him, more Empire, especially since he went “against” Vader in the last game. I felt like the Empire was non existent. I feel like they kinda used this game to push the High Republic… I really wish they would do some stuff from The Old Republic… all the bad ass Sith Lords and Sith Empires and Exar Kuhn and all that… they have so much material to use and pull from it frustrates me they don’t want to use it.. to me.. The Old Republic.. except for 1-6 obviously… is what Star Wars is. I also wish, as for the stances, they should have done it like how Ghost of Tsushima did it.
I thought his regular grown out hair with the beard looked awesome on Cal.
Merrin is his favorite character… we all know why
I love the critique for the stances. They should of had at least 3 or 4 stances you can use at one time or else you won’t use the majority of them for 80% of the game
Mediocre? ?? It’s way better than FO. I love FO but Survivor just does everything better except performance imo
Totally fair. Maybe if I replay this game a couple more times my opinion will change.
No. It has way too much filler. And still terrible performance, screen tearing and terrible upscaling. FO was better.
17:59: good review other than this point, this critique is redundant and quite frankly stupid, he gets hired in stuff, that isn’t the games fault, not his fault, or anyone involved in the games fault, this is a nitpick that just seemed out of place in the review
This was an observation and personal opinion on my end. This didn’t have an overall impact on the score I gave. I have nothing against him nor the studio that hired him.
he is right to a degree though, throughout the whole game all i could hear was charles smith when bode was talking
@@jameslawrence169 of course that’s what you hear… it’s his voice
@@captainmcknight it would make more sense for someone like that who has appeared as a main character in other triple A games to take the role of someone like Rayvis or Dagan Gera who’s still a main character, but isn’t with you constantly throughout the game providing voicelines which sound exactly like characters from other games. I get that you may not mind this which is completely fair, but for story games it really takes you out of the immersion
@@jameslawrence169 by that logic seeing Cameron Monaghan as cal should take you out of the experience as he is an actor irl, and because he looks extremely close to his real life counterpart, same with cere, I’m just saying that these aren’t AI generated people, they are real life people with roles in other things, it just doesn’t make sense as a criticism to me.
The ability to speak does not make you intelligent
Someone’s mad
@@ImGardenGnome someone has a shit take
That’s crazy
we are reaching critical mass, of morons who think regurgitating the shit 100s of ALREADY too many reviewers say, will become a way to make money, is making me look elsewhere for my downtime. at least for this kind of content
Merin honestly was so annoying in this game. She’s just infinitely powerful and wise, and never stops talking in her stupid Olga gurlukovich accent which became so grating
If you think GOW Ragnorok is a better sequel than Jedi Survivor… Idk I just feel bad for you tbh. Our definitions of creativity and good storytelling in video games are polar opposites..
*Spoken like a true middle schooler 😂*
I can’t tell if this comment is satire
Saying GOW Ragnorok isn’t a amazing game is pure ignorance
