I know the game is well over three years old, and I’ve beaten the story three times on three different platforms, but what better time to praise it infinitely than now, mere months before it’s sequel drops?

That being said, I absolutely adore this game. The cast of characters is predominantly new, unique, and likable, while you do meet a couple of familiar faces along the way. The locations are vast, expansive, and have plenty of hidden secrets to explore. The lightsaber combat is some of the best I’ve ever seen in a videogame before. And the story effectively showcases how broken people can overcome trauma and past mistakes, and that they still have a choice to be better. Plus, that amazingly horrifying final sequence when Darth fucking Vader shows up and tears apart anything in his path in an attempt to kill you, all while the Revenge of the Sith OST plays in the background? Just the cherry on top. chef’s kiss
