Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Every Star Wars game is greeted with joy by fans, and the latest from Respawn Entertainment, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, is no exception. Although it is called a typical action game without a hint of a network component, this game has a characteristic that is fascinating in its own way. According to estimates, the opinions of gamers were divided. Some complain about the lack of this very network component, others applaud the complex melee system and a lot of platforming. However, first things first.

Plot Features

The main line unfolds dynamically. When Order 66 destroyed all the Jedi, the young Padawan Kal Kestis was forced to take refuge in the Imperial junkyard. Tinkering with surviving Star Destroyers and trying not to attract attention. But suddenly the Imperial Inquisitors intervene in the events, they are led by the Second Sister, raised by Darth Vader, and the Jedi has to accept the terms of the imposed game. Kestis runs away, attacks, escapes - in a word, demonstrates all his qualities in order to win. The hero has to visit several planets, learn to wield a lightsaber, while fighting off enemies while traveling.

Enemies and Weapons

Kel's opponents have a wide variety of weapons. Most have blasters and clubs, there are also daredevils with machine guns or rocket launchers. Inquisitors throw combat walkers at all. You also have to be distracted by wild animals that can make life difficult for Kel.

How it is recommended to defeat enemies:

• stormtroopers with conventional blasters can be killed by deflecting them with a lightsaber;
• opponents with rocket launchers are easier to blow up with their own charge;
• enemies with clubs should be slowed down with the Force, and then get close and finish off with a sword.

What did you give to help?

Of course, the young Jedi was not deprived of weapons and abilities. Of the most valuable gifts - psychometry, the ability to scan the environment, it was possessed by the Jedi Quinlan Vos. By reading objects by prints, it is easier for the hero to advance and defend himself. And Kel was also given a nice assistant - the BD-1 droid, who constantly accompanies him. The guy and mentor Cere Junda, an alien Griz Drytus, is also supported.

Planets and worlds

The developers made sure that the hero had somewhere to go. Adventure takes him to such famous places as Kashyyyk or Dathomir, and Ice Ilum, and Zeffo. Everywhere you have to adapt and explore large areas. Fortunately, the map is not flat, but holographic, which greatly simplifies the task.

Gamers note that the levels are created large, but simple, one road always leads to the goal. It's really possible to wrap it up in order to pick up some kind of secret, but then you have to return. The architecture is complex and twisted, however, it does not distract from the route. On the one hand, backtracking is a little annoying, since there is no fast movement, on the other hand, it brings interesting entertainment and gives the joy of finding.

Features and Tricks

The game retains acrobatics and gameplay dynamics familiar from old releases. True, without shooting and stealth, but in close combat there is how and how to turn around. However, critics point out that QTE in boss battles, platforming with a double jump, and bonus chests are rather atavisms. The latter also knock down the pace, so it seems like we could do without them. The lightsaber pumping is good, but it does not give a special advantage in the battle, which is also a minus. Although the sword looks, of course, much cooler than in past games. But, as practice shows, the opinion of the players does not always coincide with the analysis of critics on these aspects.

Here Kestis's skills were made an order of magnitude better, the hero easily dodges, rolls, reflects shots from all directions at once. Plus - can make full use of the lightsaber and the Force, which helps to freeze enemies, pull something or double jump.

Game Features

Strength for the Jedi is the main feature, the authors also relied on metroidvania. In the process of promotion, Kel sometimes dives into the past and recalls forgotten tricks that were not available at the first stages. For example, running on walls or a Jedi roll. So there remains a reason to return to the previously studied planets and rummage around where he could not reach. True, you will not be able to move at will, the plot dictates its own conditions. But the opportunity to visit some planets again and again is given to gamers together with Cal more than once.

Points to consider:

• You can save only in certain places. It is also permissible to pump abilities there. Only these places will still resurrect all enemies in the area.
• The ship remains a zone where you can select planets and upgrade armor along with abilities.

"May the Force be with you!"
