Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order As someone that's kind of over Star Wars and can't bring himself to care about any future movies or TV shows anymore, this one was surprisingly fun. I mean, I had heard it was good and it seemed like the kind of game I would enjoy, otherwise I wouldn't have given it a shot. But for the first few days of playing this, I was honestly kinda wishing I was still playing Ghostwire. It was just that kind of a game where I was vibing with it so much that just being in that world was fun for me. I think that combined with my current apathy for all things Star Wars would've made me bounce off of this game pretty hard if it hadn't been so freaking good. It was nice to play a game with Soulslike element but that's not actually a Soulslike. It's basically your typical third-person story-driven action game with set pieces and everything. Combat is just more lethal than usual and you can reset enemies at bonfires. That's not to say the game is especially difficult, though. I played on Jedi Master, which I'm assuming is supposed to be hard, and I was never really challenged except early on while I was still learning the mechanics. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I didn't really go into this looking for difficulty. I probably would've gone for Jedi Grandmaster if I'd known, though. A little more challenge than this would've been fine. Also, gotta love a game that doesn't waste your time with needlessly time-consuming achievements: You have to get every colletibles, secrets and enemy scans but most of it isn't obnoxiously easy to miss. I went out of my way to collect everything as I was going through the game and basically only had to spend an additional 30mins doing a post-game cleanup for the last few things I had missed. So yeah, I think I enjoyed this one enough that I might actually get the sequel day one. It was a pleasant surprise.

Believe me, you aren't missing much.

Good game. I share your Star Wars burnout, video games are the only thing from the franchise that gets me interested anymore. I still haven't even seen Episode IX.
