There’s little about Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order that actually feels new. The latest game from Titanfall and Apex Legends studio Respawn, Fallen Order is an action-adventure game that’s something of a mish-mash of its contemporaries, blending elements of Tomb Raider, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Uncharted, God of War, and more, before slathering the concoction with a fine layer of Star Wars mythology.
The result isn’t groundbreaking, but it will be a relief for long-suffering Star Wars fans. Fallen Order doesn’t have to be great: it’s enough to know that this is a solid Star Wars game that really makes you feel like a Jedi. It even has a cute droid.
There have been plenty of depictions of Darth Vader in various media forms, but his appearance in Jedi: Fallen Order is by far the most fearsome.
I strongly disagree. Vader was more intimidating in Rogue One and the Obi-Wan series.
Yeah his rogue one scene and his first encounter with Obi Wan in Obi Wan were pure monster movie type stuff.
Although he had the same vibes in Fallen Order.
Really this just shows how much good Vader we’ve gotten in recent years. That’s how Vader works best imo. As an unstoppable nightmare.
Jedi: Fallen Order represents canon content in a Star Wars game alongside a thrilling narrative and balanced gameplay mechanics.
I would agree. There have been some amazing games (but mostly terrible) but JFO beats all.
And I respect how good the first Battlefront for GC was. This isn't a recency bias.
OG Battlefront was amazing, and quite easy to run on PC when it released if i remember correctly!
Yep. Honourary mentioned goes to Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy though ♥️
I must say The Knight of the Old Republic is the BEST SW game ever!!!! TIE Fighter is the 2nd best. :)
8 out of 10 for me. Great game. The games it took mechanics from did them better, sekiro did the combat better and other cinematic games handled that aspect better. Story was pretty great too.
Looking forward to the next respawn star wars game
One.of.my fav devs atm. With Titanfall, apex legends and star wars. Such a random genre to pick after working in mainly shooters and a great attempt, they have the experience for the nalext game now
To me this is clear cut, kotor is the best star wars game, they was bioware in their prime, one if the best rpgs ever msde abf the best star wars story out if movies/series/games
Characters. Hk47 anyone?
Exactly what I was thinking lol. JFO is a fantastic game, but it's still not on KOTOR's level imo
I'm still going with Knights of the Old Republic. Jedi Knight 2, Pandemic's Battlefront 2 (the irony), and Jedi Fallen Order are all good enough I can't decide a runner up.
Force Unleashed used to be my top but now this has taken that place. Such a good game / story.
It's a culmination of Jedi Knight/Jedi Academy/Force Unleashed for me. It really Is a cracker!
Replies(1)It's an absolute belter, but it's no longer considered canon. It's a tragedy but it looks like the upcoming High Republic push is going to address Revan etc
I don't know how. The High Republic era is long after the Old Republic era. I realize KOTOR is no longer canon, but shoving Revan into High Republic seems stupid, if thats true.
I agree Kotor is the best, but Fallen Order might have been the most important. It's officially Cannon and its success was hopefully a massive signal to EA that a high quality Single Play game without MicroTransactions still sells, and sells well.
Personally, I have great memories of of jedy academy, jedi outcast, kotor and The Force Unleashed.
Aaaand Bounty Hunter :)
Same here, well bar Bounty Hunter. But in terms of canon content and overall experience, Fallen Order is up there ♥️
After the gigantic success of Star Wars: Battlefront, Jedi Fallen Order, and Galaxy of Heroes, EA is looking to ramp up.
Unless EA can make them as much as a movie, unless they mess up again on a scale of Battle Front 2 again, the House of Mouse could care less.
That's where their scale is.
