The soundtrack was cool and the story was uniquely told and well made

BUT

None of that fucking matters when every main mission is a side mission. Heres a hint to developers: Don't bloat your game out by making side missions, main missions. This shit is awful

I had pretty low expectations coming into this after hearing it was the worst of the series, and I was not looking forward to the technical downgrade from Kiwami 1&2 to this being the oldest in the franchise

I will say I am pleasantly surprised! The game is so damn chill. Going from defusing 33 bombs to save the city of Kamarocho, to gathering up the kids for dinner. The city of Okinawa is such a breath of fresh air after being in Kamarocho and Sotenbori for 3 games straight. I love the summer aesthetic. Plus I didn't feel like it was a huge technical downgrade despite the games age, it runs well and feels at its core like every Yakuza game. Great time

Jedi Survivor is a definite upgrade over Fallen Order, which I also loved, enhancing its combat, semi open world and platforming! The platforming especially is something I loved about the game, combining wall running, force pulling, dashing and grappling is just so smooth and satisfying!!! It's not a perfect game though, including a lot of bugs and frame rate issues. At first, I thought the story itself was not as interesting as the first one which led me to be less engaged with the game overall. But once that amazing plot twist happens, the story really hits its strides.

Jedi Survivor is the best Star Wars game so far, slightly ahead of Fallen Order. A potential third game would take the cake
