Jedi: Survivor - A Deeper Dive into the Star Wars Galaxy

Updated: Sep 19


Jedi Survivor is a masterful expansion of the foundation laid by its predecessor. Respawn Entertainment has meticulously refined the core gameplay loop, introducing new mechanics and challenges that keep the experience fresh and engaging. The combat system is a standout, offering a deep well of possibilities with multiple lightsaber stances, each demanding a different approach to combat. The ability to seamlessly switch between these stances adds a layer of strategic depth that elevates the already exhilarating combat encounters.


Cal Kestis has evolved into a formidable Jedi Knight, and his growth is reflected in his expanded Force powers. These abilities are no longer mere add-ons but integral tools for exploration and combat. The traversal mechanics have also been enhanced, allowing for even more dynamic and acrobatic movement through the game world.




Koboh, the primary setting for Survivor, is a world teeming with life and opportunity. Its semi-open design encourages exploration, with hidden paths, secrets, and challenges around every corner. While the planet may not have the same immediate impact as some of Fallen Order's locations, it grows on you with time, revealing its intricacies and beauty.


The narrative in Survivor is a significant step forward. Cal and the Mantis crew are more developed, their relationships deepening and adding emotional weight to the story. The game delves into complex themes of loss, grief, and the enduring power of hope, creating a rich tapestry of characters and motivations.


However, the game isn't without its flaws. Some pacing issues arise, with certain sections feeling drawn out. Additionally, the difficulty curve can be inconsistent, with some encounters being significantly more challenging than others. Despite these minor criticisms, Survivor remains a truly exceptional game.


The attention to detail in recreating the Star Wars universe is commendable. From the iconic sound design to the authentic atmosphere, the game immerses players in a galaxy far, far away. The level of customization available, from character appearance to lightsaber components, adds a personal touch that enhances the overall experience.


Jedi Survivor is a testament to Respawn Entertainment's commitment to delivering a top-tier Star Wars experience. It's a game that respects the source material while forging its own path. With its engaging combat, immersive world, and compelling story, Survivor is a must-play for any fan of action-adventure games and the Star Wars franchise.
