9/10

I desperately wanted to like this game, but unfortunately I cannot recommend it. People are complaining about performance issues and bugs, but I didn't encounter much of those.

The real problem for me was combat mechanics. On the surface, it tries to copy some mechanics from Sekiro and other Souls games, but feels clumsy and unresponsive.

The first problem is a lack of something called balance in souls games - the ability to ignore incoming attacks before being staggered. Here, if you missed the first attack, then be ready to get the rest in your face. You cannot parry, you cannot block, you cannot evade - there is nothing you can do, so you just wait until foes finish their attack series. If you see melee purge troopers, you're gonna get some cheap damage.

Next, big foes. I have a feeling that hit boxes of AoE attacks have no correlation to animations, instead hitting in a radius around the foe. Their attacks are independent, and you can get damage from two AoEs. You have no invulnerability after being hit by AoE. Some foes have almost unavoidable one-shot attacks - good luck with Fractured Malice and spawn of oggdo (that big frog on Koboh).

All mandatory bosses were very easy, 1-2 tries was enough (except rancor), so the main challenge in the game is when you face big groups of regular foes.

Stances are good, they feel distinct and every stance has its place. But here you don't have regular weapon/armor upgrades. The only thing you get is new skills and attacks, but later attacks in every stance tree require some complex or long combos. The whole second half of the game I found myself using only basic attacks and blocks because there was no time between enemy attacks to use new skills.

The world in game doesn't feel real. You leave lava marks on enemies (which is hilarious), nor Vader neither inquisitors come when you walk too much with lightsaber turned on, Koboh settlement is always safe from any raids (while every single npc in cantina mentions it), nothing happens except patrols going here and there by circles.

There were a few good things in the game, for example some snarky dialogues, beautiful locations and soundtrack. But overall it's 4/10, disappointment and frustration ruined all the fun.

Эта игра продолжает выбивать на моей пекарне синие экраны смерти.
Однозначно топ за свои деньги
