It's a good game, bonus points if you're a Star Wars nerd. I think Survivor may be a bit overwhelming if you're not familiar with the movement and combat systems. The other way around, Fallen Order will surely feel limited and restrictive if you play Survivor first.
I beat the damn thing after god knows how many attempts, probably 1,5 to 2 hours of constant dying with half of it onehits or straight being eatenI really like that there's larger areas now, and that they kept Cal's full set of powers. Scaled back, obviously, but he's got all the principal moves, so none of that tired amnesia business.
Now I just did some exploring in the big open area and ran into a freaking Rancor. I'm only on the second highest difficulty, but I don't stand an effing chance

Performance is alright for me, running on a system with a 5800X3D and 6700XT, at 4k + FSR2 quality in 'High' Settings without RT.
I found dodging or precision evading to be even better. Cal can block one of these swings at best (at least on the higher difficulties, i'm playing on Master right now) and will be vulnerable when a second comes in. The window for parrying is super hard to hit. I found the best place to be was always a short distance right in front of the beast, because it will then use dodgeable attacks with long enough recovery to get a few decent hits in.
I'm on Master as well, truthfully I found everything easy to parry. The back to back attacks were almost easier because I'd just immediately hit block after parrying the first attack. I just fought
It's okay you're just getting old mate
Definitely true. Can’t pick up a game now and get into it asap. Have to play it consistently now to get good.
Is the level design better? Fallen Order has some of the most bizarre level design in any game ever imo.
They’re more open.
Same crap as last time then, was waiting for someone to mention the combat as it was horrible in the first one it never felt consistent.
Yeah, like Fallen Order the combat can be infuriating at times. It feels like the block and parry windows change from fight to fight or simply contain button lag that means you'll die or get beat up badly.
That’s a shame think of Sekiro’s combat applied to Star Wars the potential is huge.
That would be brilliant.
What system are you on? I didn't have any freezes or crashes so far on PC.Trying to play this today. It’s frozen three times in four hours.
PS5. Seems to be over it now but was a bit frustrating.
I also skipped Rancor , several other monster fights and some of the Bounty Hunters and finished the main story. Once they release all the PC performance fixes and I can turn settings back on to play and not crash I will go back and do those. Already spoiled on what happens with the Bounty Hunter storyline unfortunately but I will still do it.
There's definitely some kind of lag to parrying at times, and some of the hit detection seems off. Really makes me appreciate how mechanically precise FromSoft are with their combat. It's clearly not as easy to copy as I might have expected.
I agree with you. Like fallen order it will be a really good game in a year or so when they patch it.
Your last point is the main boon of the dual wield stance.
Agreed its really poor. The visuals aren't good enough to justify the poor performance either, considering games like HFW run beautifully and look 10x better.
yep. Even worse considering the first game had similar issues. It frustrates me that gamers have just accepted this now and when people complain they bite back with a wait for them to patch it etc. So many games now are released with crappy issues at launch that ruin the experience.
