This is an excellent sequel, perhaps surpassing the first game. The backgrounds are beautiful, the music is great, and the story certainly keeps you interested rather than begging for the skip button.
However, the game frequently glitches in graphics-intense scenes with significant stuttering visuals, phantom enemy attacks, and missed commands. A good example is the legendary enemies Spawn of Oggdo and Rancor. Often times you dodge an attack correctly, see that you're out of danger, only to have the enemy glitch-turn and have their fatal attack land despite you being out of the way or another enemy blocking their path.
There is a glitch in which you get stuck in the back of the Mantis and can only resolve this glitch by completely closing the program and powering off the PS5 then restarting. Lastly, the difficulty is INSANE on some of the bosses/legendary enemies/force tears. My first run-through was only on "Master" difficulty and it took dozens if not over 100 attempts each to defeat the Spawn of Oggdo, the Rancor, and the Double Rancor.

Solid game, combat is great. Huge maps across different planets. Story is decent and the voice actors for sure put a lot of passion into the voice acting during key moments in the game.
Frame rate performance was sketchy at times, given there was alot going on at times on screen. Still overall great game.

Played on one step down feom the hardest difficulty. Take a moment to stop and liaten to the enemy conversations before running starting a fight. The is an increased emphasis on puzzle platforming. The light saber duels were chanllenging, but fair. I didn’t get frustrated by one hit KOs that seemed to be everywhere in Fallen Order. I had a few glitches, like big enemies hovering after defeat, a door to the saloon not opening (hung up loading), and some T posing characters on the ship before traveling to another planet. Game did not crash though. Fewer planets to explore than Fallen Order, but Survivor’s planets are bigger, with an open world feel to them.

I was hesitant to purchase this game because I heard about some of the technical issues with it, especially on PC, but I got the PS5 version and it’s been a blast! Some frame rate dips, but nothing crazy.
I was also blown away by the visuals. They have updated the environment a ton from the previous game.
The only draw back for me is the file size you have to download to play. It was around 150gbs for the update.
I would definitely give it a try, especially if you enjoyed the first game.

The continued adventures of Cal Cestus had a few hiccups when they started, but the bugs have been squashed, letting the story shine thru. If you loved Fallen Order, this only makes the improvements that were necessary to that. Better than what has been given to us on the big screen, we can only hope that those in charge of the franchise will realize how important good story telling is and give control to those who truly love the material and will strive to make stories that can be enjoyed for generations to come.

The game is incredible story, gameplay, and graphics. The only thing holding it back as of now are the bugs and glitches it is nearly unplayable when the game begins drop frames. Should happen for a $70 ps5 game that took years to make.

The gameplay and story are very well made. I personally believe it's been made better than the first game in every way. Not 5 stars right now because of the performance issues causing massive frame drops on even the performance mode.

Been waiting for this game to come out ever since i beat the original.
Was not disappointed with the sequel
Im probably a third of the way through and loving it, so far theres a great story line, intense action and good (updated) force usage.
Best part is for difficult parts you can still switch the difficulty level so you dont get bogged down and can get through those hard to defeat bosses and keep the story moving

As many of you are, I’ve been a Star Wars nerd since I was 4 years old (1984 “In a Galaxy far,far away.) I’ve played lots of Star War games many bad, some good and a few great ones. Since The Old Republic(2011), Jedi: Fallen Order had finally brought back the excitement of picking up a Star Wars game and boy did it deliver! So when Jedi: Survivor was announced, I couldn’t wait to see where else Cal Kestis could take us and how the story would continue to unfold. Survivor is great! Great continuation of story, great characters old and new, great platforming, great puzzles and great maps. Starting to see a tread young Padawan? I feel Fallen Order was an amazing game, Survivor to me, fell a little short of being Amazing. Not to say the game is not good, it’s just (I can’t quite put my finger on it) not Amazing. Everything is still great and it finished with an obvious opening for a 3rd Jedi game. Maybe the missing elements from Survivor get implemented on the final game. Like most trilogies the 2nd always leaves you wanting more or feels a bit unfinished because it needs the last one to put it all together. I know I need the experience so I… we can feel full and whole by the end of it all! So I do highly recommend Jedi: Survivor, I still had a blast with it, especially exploring the much bigger worlds and even building up a kinda home base. Can’t wait to see how it all plays out when we get the next Jedi game! But you need to get invested in the first 2 games to close it right!!!! Do or do not, there is now try.

Had a blast with this game! I enjoyed the story! For me, it’s just as good as Jedi: Fallen Order. EA took what worked with the first game and made it better.

Just copped Star Wars Jedi: Survivor for PS5 at Best Buy, and man, it's a blast! The action's top-notch, and the story's got me hooked. The package arrived on time, no hassle.But the real deal? Best Buy’s Black Friday price.
Absolute deal. If you're into action games or Star Wars, this one's a no-brainer. Big ups to Best Buy for the smooth experience.
From the Bx, this is a solid recommend!

The first game was one of my favorites, in terms of gameplay, exploration, and story/characters. For some reason this one dragged on from the start. The visuals were stunning but it wasn't pulling me in due to staggered pace of the story. Once you get to your first planet it becomes a let down. Wide open spaces with not much to enjoy as you traverse except for randomly placed enemies that, instead of fun, cause an upheaval in the pacing.

This is the kind of game people are looking to play. It’s got great gameplay, beautiful graphics, and a compelling story. If you consider yourself a fan of Star Wars, this is a must-play. Likely very important too, setting the groundwork for the future of the series with the High Republic. The framerate drops are there, but not a game-breaking experience on PS5. The only real downside is the absurd filesize. Overall, a great game and easily one of the best so far in 2023

Customization features are far superior, stance-like combat allows you to hone in on particular skillset for slower or fast-paced combat. Planets feel more detailed and allow for more immersion into the environment rather than simply playing through and revisiting later for carious collectibles, etc. Storyline is also far more interesting than i had anticipated. Can’t wait to see what EA will manage to produce next. A must-have for the year.
