Early reviews have gone live for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the sequel to 2019’s Fallen Order. Developed by Respawn Entertainment, Jedi: Survivor once again stars Jedi Knight Cal Kestis as he encounters new enemies and explores a hostile galaxy.
Building on the foundation of the previous game, Respawn’s work has produced a game that’s bigger and better than its predecessor according to some critics, while others have noted that technical issues, a lack of polish, and open-world bloat do hold it back from gaining the rank of Jedi Master. Overall, critics say that Jedi: Survivor is everything that a Star Wars fan could want, but be prepared for a game with some very rough technical edges to an otherwise well-written adventure.
“Exhilarating lightsaber combat and physics-defying platforming puzzle challenges remain the best part of Respawn’s latest Star Wars game, but Survivor also makes big swings with its story this time around,” Jordan Ramée wrote in GameSpot’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor review. “Cal’s quest takes him to new corners of the galaxy, but the most compelling journey he makes is an introspective one. Survivor is a very well-written tale about overcoming fear, and it’s the Jedi story I’ve wanted for a long time.”
