The game seems really good but why must we always make our way back to the start of the level? The mission is fine but completing it then spending 20 minutes running through everything you've already done seems off even with the short cuts they add. Strange, im finding myself faffing about way too much.
20 minutes of decent gameplay followed by 15 minutes of pissing about is starting to form a pattern.
Almost finished this, and while it’s a really fun game, and pretty great in several instances,
THIS fecking aspect was the one major issue that sapped my enthusiasm a tad... aligned with the fact that you’re essentially just going back and forth between the same few planets most of the time, conspired to make a game that does actually have a good variety of shit to do, feel
way smaller, by virtue of spending most of the run-time doing what feels like 3 or 4 very long levels, what feels like 3 or 4 times over!
Story wise it was fairly good - even for someone who enjoys playing up their dislike of Star Wars for comic effect - and props for surely being the only SW media to make “Order 66”(lol) seem like a genuinely dramatic and affecting event? Though it falls a while short of the current Gen high bar, by virtue of some very clunky capital V “Video game” chapter beats... the random evil Jedi you fight on the obviously evil planet, for example (why do all the planets in Star Wars have one singular geotropical feature?) just seems to come out of nowhere with a story way too insignificant and unrelated to be positioned so late in the game...also while I greatly enjoyed the aesthetic of the animal planet where everything is trying to kill you, the actual dynamics of fighting your way through an animal planet where everything is trying to kill you was surprisingly tedious... as pretty much anything involving animals was in fairness...
All in all pretty good fun though as 3rd person shooters go... thought its somehow both enjoyably different and incredibly samey at the same time.
Also the female former Jedi’s eyes were terrifying.
