There's a lot of this game I would want to change; the platforming is occasionally clunky due to the emphasis on being "cinematic", the combat isn't very deep, the story veers in and out of interesting ideas waaaay too fast and, to be honest, all the vaguely Dark Souls-esque mechanics feel completely useless.

But this one is a good time!

I am not a Star Wars person, but the game gives you a solid idea of what's going on in the greater universe, while never completely relying on recognition ((and the one section where it does is both well-earned and justified)). The combat does have enough weight to it to be engaging, even if it is a deep as a kiddie pool, and the emphasis on breaking block gauges isn't a terrible idea.

It also just looks amazing. There aren't that many locales, but the ones that are there are lush rainforests or sprawling planes. Or Darothmir, which is neither of those things. Maps can be too intricate, and this attention to detail can make it hard to discern where you might be going but if I'm going to be lost I'd rather have something pretty to look at.

Relatively enjoyable time all around, and probably worth checking out if you care about the greater Star Wars universe.
