Rarely have I hated a game as much as jedi fallen order. This game sucks so fucking bad it's a wonder I even made it most of the way through before giving up.
The difficulty comes from an asinine control scheme, infuriating input lag on EVERYTHING, and quite genuinely the worst level design I've experienced in a video game.
Seriously I LOVE convoluted levels, my favourite games are everything made by FromSoft, but this game goes wayyyyy past that and decides that the best way to travel through the world is through endless backtracking. I don't even know how but it feels like you spend more time backtracking through each level than you do going through them normally!!
The story is lackluster at best, and every time I was invested for even a moment, the game proceeded to utterly disappoint me with low-grade dialogue and characters which can only barely be considered even one dimensional.
Usually when a game doesn't allow for the slightest bit of character creation, it's because the creators decided to have a more fleshed out main character with an interesting and important personality. Cal Kestis is neither. I genuinely cannot come up with any words to describe his personality! Is he serious or laid back? Is he invested in ANYONE around him? Why is he even following the main quest other than because he is the main character and you control him? This man is so generic and bland, your average Star Wars OC probably has more personality shown in one image than he expresses throughout the time I played the game.
The combat is so fucking boring. It relies on enemies that have gigantic health pools to artificially inflate the difficulty, but it's really more tedious than challenging.
If I had to sum up my problems with this game in one word, it would be *SLOW*
Everything takes so looong, from combat to navigating levels. The game wastes so much time on every single small action: opening chests, respawning, travelling to a different planet, walking, running, climbing, waiting in elevators, dialogue, etc.
Overall, I'd give the game a 3/10. This is the first time that I cannot FATHOM how someone can enjoy a game
