Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Review

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor reviewed by Dan Stapleton on PlayStation 5. Also available on Xbox Series X|S and PC.

"Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes what Fallen Order did and wall-runs with it, then double-jumps and air-dashes straight into an epic lightsaber battle. Rather than taking us back to square one to begin Cal’s journey as a Padawan again, we’re trusted with control of a full-fledged Jedi Knight who we can grow into a master of superhuman mobility and fantastic and challenging combat. With a new set of larger, more diverse, and densely packed worlds to explore and a memorable cast of returning characters, Survivor tells a story that may be predictable at times but is still fun and emotional to watch play out. Launch performance issues aside, it’s a sequel that does virtually everything better than the original – which was already an exceptional Star Wars game. If Respawn makes one more like this it’ll be the best Star Wars trilogy in 30 years, hands down."

The fact that this is a sequel that isn't a "start from level 0" is already a big W for me. Never played a sequel like that before.

We need more games like this. No microtansactions, no lootboxes, just a great in depth story.

(No spoiler). There's one sequence mid-way through the story where you feel like you're in a 4D roller coaster ride. An absolute genius idea.

It is refreshing to see how much love the developers have invested in this.
If only the cinematic universe can get such treatment.

Wow… a sequel better than the original! Looks how fluid and smooth the combat and parkour is!!

[justindaniels]

That duel blade combat is insane. The stances remind me of Ghost of Tsushima which was also an incredible game

[ThHyd]

Looks like they managed to really up their game from Fallen Order.

Gotta say this is the best single-player game I've played in a long time. It is the best Star Wars game ever made I've just finished the game and its extraordinary

[logicaldude]

The most impressive part of this game was that it didn't decrease any of your powers from the end of the previous game, but somehow made you feel as though you were still a young Jedi who was learning and discovering new abilities. It was a tremendously well done game.

This looks so fast and fluid, a huge improvement, shame they didn’t show much of this stuff in the trailers as they clearly didn’t do the game justice

[carbodude]

Love how the blaster stance has Cal swinging his lightsaber like Count Dooku

20 hours in on ps5 and can confirm. Not only is it an amazing sequel, its fully fixed. Superb game

[hieunguyenrileygekko]

the sense of maturity is strong with this game
its nice to see Cal getting more mature after 4 years, you feel like you are growing up along side him

[huhhuhhuh]

Between Titanfall 2, Fallen Order, and Survivor, Respawn has established themselves as one of the very best studios.

"There's no reason NOT to go back to play Fallen Order..." Time. Time, my friend <3

[alun]

The customisations and details look very intriguing, just a little over a day and we can all enjoy this masterpiece

[omegauk]

WARNING for those who want to play on PC, game performance is bad still need to be optimized

Three reviews I've seen now, an 8 and two 9s. The combat on this game looks amazing.
