Journalists have tried Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and it looks like a solid sequel is in store, fixing many of Fallen Order’s shortcomings.

Star Wars fans have to wait a little longer for Cal Kestis and other characters from the Respawn Entertainment series to return in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor; they will surely appreciate the announcements published in the media today.

The second installment of the series went to select publishers, with their representatives managing to spend a few hours each with the title. Some journalists also spoke with the developers, which allowed them to know a little more about the game.

so far it seems Star Wars Jedi: Survivor he seduced journalists and even charmed some. They were surprised by several changes from Fallen Order: from more expansive (but not yet fully open) locations filled with secrets and richer options for customizing the hero’s appearance, to Cal’s new abilities (most of the old ones are available from the beginning) and a significant expansion of the combat system, to more entertaining lines of dialogue of enemies and character encounters, which the developers have so far prohibited journalists from discussing.

However, while some people were surprised by how big the game was as a follow-up, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor It’s still a classic sequel, mostly offering “more of the same” (and freedom, but not everywhere). This can hardly be considered a problem, but don’t expect any drastic changes from Fallen Order.

It’s also possible to see the occasional complaint, such as the restriction to use two of the five combat stances at once (single, dual, and double lightsaber, blaster, and the so-called Kylo Ren-style cross guard) instead to freely switch between them. .

However, it looks like Jedi: Survivor will improve on its predecessor’s flaws and expand on its best elements. If this will result in a much better game, we’ll find out very soon. The title will debut on April 28 on PC, PS5, and XSX/S.

Passionate about video games (and others) for years, he completed an MBA in linguistics, defending a thesis on games. He started his adventure with GlobeLiveMedia in 2015, writing in the editorial department, then also covering movies and oh, horror! – technology (also a contributor to the Games Encyclopedia). He started with platform games, which he still loves (including metroidvania), but he also likes card games (including “analog” games), fighting games, soul games and virtually any other kind of game. Don’t ask about the graphics: after a few hours of exposure, you can revel in pixelated game characters reminiscent of the days of the Game Boy era (if not older).
