SW:FO is a great game. Nice Graphics, Great Gameplay and poor screenwriting.

The game is a mixture of Tomb Raider with Darksouls and a bit of The Force Unleashed. It plays nice and the bosses are great, with some exceptions. Platforming is cool and you get to go back to older levels with new tools to unlock new areas, just like a Castlevania game.
The maps are huge and full of stuff to kill. All very well designed. Finding the secrets is a mixbag tho. Some are lore based, some give you levels to upgrade your character and some give you healing slots.

The story is... good-ish. The events and lore are good in theory. The screewriting is trash tho. Characters are anoying, they talk too much. Some bosses which are good to fight get boring because of so much yapping. Dialog is poor and characters change convictions on a whim. You literally have one character join your group after 2 lines of dialog, and poor dialog to make things worse.

Graphically the game rocks. I have a low end PC and I could enjoy nice vistas. But there is some weird stuff tho. My graphics card is just a bit over the minimum required, but for some reason I get this ambient occlusion popping like crazy when I walk in some maps. Also, lower graphical setting is Medium. WTF

Nice game, tho. Turn of your brain during the cutscenes and turn it back on when fighing the bosses. 8/10
