I expected to get an epic Star Wars story with badass combat and just an all-around fun game. While it delivered on the epic story. The combat was absolutely horrible. It was so horrible, I quit the game at the last level.

I'll try to explain the issue. So, there's a delay almost after everything. A combo, dodging, getting up after getting knocked down. I believe the delay comes from animations. You swirl your sword after a combo, you stay on the ground and take forever to push yourself up, after you dodge there's a half a second where you can't move. The delay leaves you open to getting attacked. On top of that, you can't move while using your force to sling objects, so there's another point where you can't move. You can't land a combo and dodge quickly back. You are constantly caught by missile barrages that stun lock you.

I just don't have time to spend on games like this anymore. I've got too many games on my backlog that I could be playing instead.

The Force Unleashed disappointed me, especially since I heard it was one of the GOAT Star Wars games.
