The story of Cal Kestis continues in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a
third person galaxy-spanning action-adventure game from respawn
entertainment, developed in collaboration with lucasfilm games.
This narratively-driven, single player title picks up five years
after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and follows
Cal’s increasingly desperate fight as the galaxy descends further
into darkness. Pushed to the edges of the galaxy by the Empire,
Cal will find himself surrounded by threats new and familiar. As
one of the last surviving Jedi Knights, Cal is driven to make a
stand during the galaxy’s darkest times – but how far is he
willing to go to protect himself, his crew, and the legacy of the
Jedi Order? To survive, players will build upon Cal’s training
with an expanded list of iconic force abilities, combat stances,
and lightsaber customizations that can be combined in new and
different ways to fight as a jedi. While the Force is a powerful
ally, it may not be enough. Cal will have to get creative and
master new abilities, tactics and even leverage the environment
around him to overcome the obstacles ahead. Fans of Star Wars
will travel to new planets and familiar frontiers as Cal seeks to
reunite the crew of the Stinger Mantis. New Force abilities,
equipment and upgrades will enable players to search, explore,
and re-traverse in new ways across multiple planets, each with
their own unique challenges to face. The galaxy is full of
stories, secrets, and treasures to uncover for those willing to
face the dangers that lay off the beaten path.
Review: "..STUNNING STAR WARS ADVENTURE.." - 5 years after the
last game our hero's have moved on but still are trying to take
down the Empire, this game has a bigger adventure ahead of you
than the previous, its full of fan service all the way, great
character developments, the story goes in a great direction with
plenty action from beginning to end, as before you work your way
through maps on different planets doing missions, the maps are
huge! Much more to explore openly too in most areas, the puzzle
element is still there too so expect plenty jumping around using
force moves and wall jumping etc. The graphics on this game are
stunning and there's always so much to see in every planet from
gorgeous scenery to Huge creatures and monsters to fight and of
course cute friendly ones too. Bounty hunters, droids and even
the awesome ability to ride and fly with creatures too. The
camera mode is the best I've ever played with, you can capture
amazing in-game shots anywhere you go (see images attached) This
is absolutely a gaming experience you must have, if your a Star
Wars fan or not its just amazing to play. I just wish it was
bigger, I could spend forever running around these planets.
Plentiful fun achievements to unlock as you go, most fairly easy
some will take a little time. The game can be played on story
mode which is very easy for casual gamers or the much harder
setting if you care for more of a challenge. Lots of upgrades and
customisation to obtain for your lightsabre and droid BD-1. An
unhealthy amount of collectables to find throughout every part of
every map, not necessary to complete the game but it will help
with customisation. You can use single lightsabre, Duel weld,
double bladed or pistol, its your choice whenever. Lots of
characters to interact with and receive side quests. Amazing new
aliens and monsters and creatures to discover, plus lots of
returning characters too. Always make sure you use a save point
whenever you leave the game of you will loose lots of progress.
You can now fast travel the maps from anywhere you have
discovered a save point.
Review: Great follow up to a great game - Jedi Survivor is an
excellent adventure game in its own right, but it is also an
excellent sequel to Jedi Fallen Order. You don't need to have
played the first game to understand or enjoy Survivor, but given
how excellent Fallen Order was, I recommend picking that up as
well. Survivor Picks up a few years after the first game, and you
start off with some of the powers and upgrades from Fallen Order
already unlocked. But there are still new force powers to learn
and light saber styles and parts to get, so there is a steady
sense of progression through the game. Like the first game, this
is also an adventure game where you'll spend a lot of time
figuring out how to navigate through the environments, solving
puzzles and finding paths that aren't obvious. There's a good bit
of combat and the emphasis remains on dodging and parrying your
opponents and putting your lightsaber to devastating use. You
could button mash your way through fights, but I don't think
you'd get very far. Survivor is a thoughtful single player game
where you want to think about what you're doing as you experience
the story. And the story is just classic Star Wars, with some
twists and some over the top bad guys, along with hostile
wildlife that is hugely memorable. I'll avoid spoilers, but with
a wide variety of planets where different missions take place,
the action remains fresh as you flesh out the characters and
learn more about the world. Great game. Well worth the money.
Can't wait for the next one, hopefully they make more!
