This game gave me very mixed feelings.
The planets and the locations are very good, they really put a lot of effort on the details and it's amazing. The backtracking between planets is something that didn't bother me, since you explore different sections every time. It is a bit heavy without fast travel tho, especially for bigger planets like Kashyyyk and Zeffo. Oh, Zeffo, I've lost myself so many times.
The combat system is very good and polished, and it's fun! You really feel Jedi-strong but without breaking the balance of the soulslike combat style. The Force gives you an even wider range of combat and you can really use the playstyle you want. However there's none. There's literally no combat in the game. The enemies are very scarce and too easy to kill (I don't even wanna go to the dismemberment, because Disney). The only really hard situations where you need to concentrate is when the game throws at you a lot of specific enemies that complements each others, and it happens maybe 3 or 4 times in the whole game. The bosses are very few and far apart from each other, and the "minibosses"... I don't even wanna talk about them. You can literally oneshot them, that's all there's to say. I know there's an arena (once you've finished the game) where you can have fun, create your own fights and just cut through stormtroopers, but it's completely separate and it only rewards you with 3 BD-1 skins, so...
The story is ok in the sense that it's the usual Star Wars: nothing too deep nor boring. It's enjoyable, it's a pretty well written story, in my very ignorant opinion.
The last thing I wanna touch is the New Game+. It's completely useless, nor it should be considered a NG+. The only thing you get is an outfit and a new lightsaber colour. I get removing all the metroid-vania abilities, you still need to follow a story and a said path, but what about all the scans? All the secrets that literally just give you more health and force? What about the databank? The tactical guide with all the enemies you ALREADY defeated? Nuh uh, you start from the ground up, again. In a New Game+.
It hasn't been thought out at all.
Overall I'm sad to see such wasted potencial. The game is fun don't get me wrong, I just wish there was more.
