A Soulslike with a Starwars twist. The first play though and discovery is flawless, you are constantly discovering new things and hidden spots. You need to check, check and check again ( often with new abilities) to make sure you 100% your areas. Its a fun game, and for the star wars diehards, the tale of Cal Kestis will have you on the edge of your seat.

Drawbacks - replay-ability, this is coming from my experience before they added new game +, and while new game + is a huge step forward towards replay-ability, it doesn't posses the experience of re-playable combat of its namesake. while there are plenty of enemies on the map, the lack of any really challenging fighting makes this game seem kind of lacklustre in comparison, even if they are meant to be enemies designed to take you down. The boss fights while short and fairly simple were interesting and the story behind the game was compelling.

Would i recommend this game, yes absolutely. But do i recommend this game at $90 RRP? No, this is a $50 Game. It possesses exceptional graphics and great story, but very little to keep you coming back, and while it is a star wars story ( one that i wouldn't recommend you going without knowing), there are lots of other titles out there that deliver non stop action, compelling story and great game play which you can come back to time and time again. With Cal there is one build (slight variations based on what you chose first) and one strategy to fighting.

If you have $90 to spare on a video game and you haven't tried Sekiro or Darksouls 3 yet, then i would recommend giving them a go. Both of which are currently $90 on the steam store, and with over 100 hours in each of them, i can assure you that they are games that keep on giving.
