Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S/One) is a bigger, badder sequel in every way. Let's talk about it.

I noticed how fast you were climbing one of the walls, I love when developers start a sequel with the character having the same abilities he had at the end of the previous game.

I love the absolute transparency with not being able to speak the the PC performance and giving recommendations for other parties who could help. Genuinely love to see the willingness to get viewers the best answer rather than the only answers you have.

I love when games not only keep the abilities from the last game, but also give you newer better ones, but still the first ones are useful. It takes a lot of effort and balancing to manage it without having 1 attack that overpowers the rest

literally the only "gaming news" channel I watch on YouTube, because you guys consistently deliver high qaulity videos. no bullshit, down to earth commentary (you and falcon just seem like cool dudes who like games) and you come across as actually having passion for games. really appreciate this.

[logieagogie]

Without a doubt you guys are the greatest video game channel on YouTube

I just started Fallen Order the other day and even after hearing all it's praise I was still blown away by how good it actually is. Glad to hear Survivor gets the Jake seal of approval! Can't wait to play it!

I've been saying it for some time now but start wars is at its best when it's telling its own stories within a setting and timeline and not trying to interconnect and serialize everything

[mavvynne]

That dual wield combat is insane. Look how smooth and fluid the gameplay is. The stances reminds me of Ghost of Tsushima which is also an incredible game.

I think what I like most about the sequel is, it's ACTUALLY a sequel. You're not starting over from scratch and relearning everything you did in the first game, that is always a huge plus for me. I don't care all that much for customization as most of it is just cosmetic in nature.

Before you buy is probably my favorite review series. It has been constant and honestly influences my purchases quite a bit, keep it up and thank you for all the more to come!

[spethmanjones]

Honestly this channel and Skill Up are the most down to earth review channels I’ve found in the many years I’ve spent on YouTube, and you guys are one of the ones I trust the most! Keep up the great work : )

Thank goodness for Gameranx. These are my go-to reviews of games where even if you say there might be a like/dislike for a game, you disclose it at the beginning. but even then, I never feel like the opinions are biased. Great channel now that IGN can't be trusted with a fair review. 👏 keep up the good work!

[tonycarrabis]

Hey guys i just wanted to thank you for all you do. This is my favorite gaming channel. This series is all i've ever wanted in a review. I want to see actual gameplay and have someone clearly explain what the game is about and you are the best at it and always keep it it a tight 10 mins. No bloat which i appreciate.
I really enjoy Jake doing the Friday week in review. it feels like listening to a friend talk and not just someone reading a list.
Even when Falcon is literally reading a list it still feels the same way. The way you all convey the information feels different from all the others. Keep up the amazing work. I look forward to your videos everyday!

[MrCurbinator]

The spirit of the first game was outstanding. Like Jaws or Innsmouth. You were on this small, almost academic mission where things started quietly, and then they just kept ramping up. I wonder if they managed to recapture that

"When you meditate at bonfires, " hehehe. Good breakdown as always!

[LordRumpus]

I really loved the Mandalorian wild west vibe of Koboh. Especially once you get the blaster stance.

I've watched all the major reviews for Jedi survivor now...but this is the one I was waiting for👌🏻💯

[brandonnelson]

Always watch these before you buys to gauge if I’m gonna drop my cash on new game, thanks Jake 🎉🎉🎉

[djnabsmusicuk]

Based on your review for “A plague take innocence & Requiem” I bought both games and played them back to back. Was an insane experience. Your review was awesome. This is what I will do here too. I will get “fallen order & survivor” and play them back to back. Thanks for your awesome videos 👍

Dude Kata has so much potential moving forward I can’t wait for the third game

I’ve got a hunch she’ll be trained as a “Jedi” under Cal but I got an inkling that Merrin would teach her tricks too.. Imagine Kata being an insane hybrid character of Jedi and Nightsister with a newer idealogy from Cal’s light side beliefs allowing him to have connections

My hope is the next game we play as Cal where we have Kata as an apprentice and a tremendous emotional baggage of killing her Dad, where Kata as an angsty teen goes back and forth on being irrational as a Jedi nightsister hybrid, and the trilogy concludes where Cal (very much at the level of a Jedi master now) has to sacrifice himself to save Kata, forever imprinting on her the importance of self sacrifice, helping her to understand the difficult decisions that lead up to her father’s murder and setting her up beautifully to be her own stand alone protagonist in a future trilogy

I don’t have much to base that off of aside from some hopes and dreams and a little bit of dialogue post campaign. Please though. Please. Kata’s potential to be a very complex Jedi Nightsister hybrid is so insanely cool to think about 🫣
