Dumb complaint.

If there were some sort of item involved like there is in a lot of these, then sure. It's optional side content.

Just to reach the next area so I can get on with the story?

Miss me with that shit. It's padding to make the game seem longer than it really is.




You DO know these are intended to be testing for Jedi, right? It makes sense that they are difficult.

How unfortunate that the game developers don't realize that Jedi are not real, and the only thing their bullshit contraptions are actually testing, is the patience of the customer that purchased the game.

Like, create a franchise called Star Wars: Jedi Trials if you want to riddle your game with dumb shit like this.

I really wanted to like these 2 Star Wars games. I'm an admitted Star Wars nerd and the story is intriguing. I've reinstalled them 3 times trying to get it to click. But I just came away frustrated every time.

The platforming is terrible and feels completely unnecessary. It's like one of those Mario levels where you're jumping from one disappearing platform to another, and you die 18 times in a row on the same spot while internally rage screaming. But add to that the Souls-like format where every time you retry it, you've got to fight the same enemies you already defeated. And it's so weirdly unbalanced at times that even a couple small creatures running around will kill you multiple times in a row in embarrassing fashion. You being a Jedi with the most deadly weapon in the universe.

I ended up just going to Youtube and watching the entire walkthrough.

I'm so glad I have zero interest in Star Wars IPs. This game sounds frustrating as ****.

I have both those games and didn't pay for them, this conversation is not making me want to play them...

Guess Lego Star Wars it is.

Yeah, I have no idea what y'all are talking about. The platforming gets to be tedious at some areas but the map is pretty easy to figure out and it outright tells you when you aren't able to go to a spot yet.

The worst part of the whole game was the open area on Koboh slowing the frame rate to an absolute crawl at times. That got super obnoxious at times and a couple of the fights are just blatant artificial difficulty bullshit.

Nothing like getting one shotted by an angry charging turkey on grandmaster difficulty.

It's like, tell me you don't know how to scale difficulty without telling me you don't know how to scale difficulty lmmfgdao.

There are mods on Nexus that fix performance issues.

I had no issues running the game at 5k2k on an i9 with a 3070 Ti, details mostly maxed.

I got best performance setting everything to Ultra and turning on DLSS to balanced mode.

As a Star Wars fan, they are the best Star Wars games I've played since Jedi Knight and Jedi Outcast.

Yeah, I've never played a single Star Wars game ever. And I've been gaming since the late 1970's.

This looks cool but mixed reviews on Steam, launched yesterday. Early access might be fun to watch this grow.

Sounds like a personal problem.

Agreed. They’re not much different than the recent tomb raider games, and I thought those were great

I feel like if you want some type of Russian Nuclear monster game you aren't ever gonna beat Metro.
