Fantastic game, great story, absolutely worth your time. Don’t snooze on it or you’ll regret it.

I went in with mixed expectations and an open mind because of EAs track record. Initially this game hit all the right notes, but the longer I spent with the game the more the glaring issues developed. A grab bag of established techniques that ultimately fall short, Uncharted style action/exploration that’s let down by shonky controls. Sekiro style combat that’s way too loose and unbalanced, getting more and more aggravating as the game progresses. A linear map that forces you to backtrack after you reach your destination, that makes you revisit to explore deeper after unlocking new powers. And a special mention to the bug, oh so many performance bugs (and I’m on X1X), nothing game breaking but bad pop in, loading screens at the worse times, textures constantly loading in at the last second causes a really jarring experience. But, if you are a fan of Star Wars this is a must to play for for the story alone, solid emotional performances just made me want to keep playing. Issues aside, I still recommend playing it, there is a nugget of gold in this turd.
