Star Wars Jedi Survivor Review: Worth It In 2024?

Star Wars Jedi Survivor has went under quite a bit of updates since it's release, so here's my 2024 review.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor - One Year Later | 2024 Review

[clouds]

Just bought it for PS5. Looks great! Buying games months after release or even over a year is completely normal for me. These days I always assume games are broken on release.

every game is launched in early access. whether or not they finish it depends on how well it sales.

Im in 24 hours of gameplay of jedi survivor all i can say that the performance mode of jedi survivor are now great.

Helpful review. I just picked it up for $18 on Steam.

I got the game recently it plays well no performance issues but I'm going to be honest with you the pivot to the open world sucks. They have Cal dying from drop he would've survived in the first game. The rumors suck and honestly feel like time wasters especially the gardening, fishing and the pyloon Saloon crap same goes for Jedha.

I prefer fallen order's level design over.

Thanks for calling out the clunky feeling in the combat. It's clear the devs prioritized difficulty at the expense of a more emersive jedi experience.

Enemies also seem to spam unblockables like the electro hammer guys from the bedlam raiders. The puzzles aren't difficult but they get tedious in this one.

All in all I prefer the old level design over planets like Jedha or Koboh.

I just started playing the game after having unintentionally ignoring the game since release. Plays brilliantly, story isnt incredible but gameplay, movement and combat are fantastic. Looking forward to the sequel.

I wish publishers would get hit with a class action so that a precedent could be set that if the product itself is defective at launch they can’t sell it at full retail price or have to refund a portion of day 1 purchasers money based on the amount of time it takes to be fixed

I just started playing this a few weeks ago and it's amazingly fun I'm playing on a razor 15

9.5/10 game for me.Love the game to, it did what i wanted jedi fallen order to do, i hope next game has sith cosmetics and jedi robe and mandalorian black lightsaber.

I love this game. While it runs alright on console, it still runs poorly on PC(4080 super, I9 14900K, 32GB Ram)
At this point I think it’s never getting fixed. It’s such a shame.

I was looking for a recent review bc i want to give it a try now. Thanks

Hi. Can I play this game on my i7 7700 3, 6GHz, gtx1060 6GB and 16GB RAM?

[IanJenn]

It's a 9/10 for me on PC. Gotta knock it down a point for having shit optimization. I have a beastly PC and can run every other game maxed out, but on Jedi Survivor I have to go on low settings with all features turned off to be playable.

[ForestRaptor]

Good balanced review I find :)
It even gave me the itch of playing it again XD

The game has it moments, performace sucks on nvidia, cant turn off dlss, texture and shadow popins, but thats not the worse part... the combat is just annoying and the plot at times is just moronic.

Let me give you an example. At 70% point of the game, a non force user tries to get away from 3 experienced jedi, to make it harder to chase him, he throws a grenade... and it works. By that time, you, the player have forced pushed away hundred of grenades... One might argue that this is a detail, but it sure does kick me out of immersion. I detest writing where competent characters stop being competent when the script requires, and then they continue being competent.

The year 2024 , graphics the year 2000 , it's sad. It's like the whole game industry is stuck on a certian game engine. How many years we gonna see these blurry games..

[carneasada]

6 hours in and this game is BORING AF to me. Also doesnt feel like star wars. I know thats subjective but playing a character i know very little about in landscapes that are dry and boring just isnt appealing.

When i think of star wars i think of Jedi, x wings and tie fighters, empire/rebellion and so forth....

If anything, this is definitely a me problem but i just wish we had more games that actually feel like star wars.

Almost forgot about the platforming....lol yeah cause wall running and climbing is something i look forward to in a star wars game....
