What the critics say
Adrian Morales – GameRant
“The best way to describe Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is “safe.” Much like with Jedi: Fallen Order, it is clear that Respawn has a lot of good ideas for this franchise and wants to draw from a variety of influences to make something special, but it ultimately ends up making a pastiche of AAA game mechanics and fixings that are serviceable but not very refined.
Jedi: Survivor doesn’t have the same novelty and luster that Fallen Order had behind it, so when it rests on its laurels like this, the whole package feels underwhelming. When coupled with a clunky story and a laundry list of technical issues, it’s clear that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor still has a long way to go before it reaches its full potential.”
VERDICT – 3.5 / 5
Dan Stapleton – IGN
“Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes what Fallen Order achieved and wall-runs with it, then double-jumps and air-dashes straight into an epic lightsaber battle. Rather than taking us back to square one to begin Cal’s journey as a Padawan again, we’re trusted with control of a full-fledged Jedi Knight who we can grow into a master of superhuman mobility and fantastic and challenging combat. With a new set of larger, more diverse, and densely packed worlds to explore and a memorable cast of returning characters.
Survivor tells a story that may be predictable but is still fun and at times emotional to watch play out. Launch performance issues aside, it’s a sequel that does virtually everything better than the original – which was already an exceptional Star Wars game. If Respawn makes one more like this it’ll complete the best Star Wars trilogy in 30 years, hands down.”
VERDICT – 9 / 10 “Superb”
Matt Miller – Gameinformer
“Across its lengthy campaign, Jedi: Survivor takes an initially meandering course to find its plotline but eventually coalesces into a story about disparate people searching for a safe home. The moment-to-moment character interactions and dialogue help elevate the lack of focus, with some sweeping melodrama in the best traditions of Star Wars fiction.
The distinctions between love and attachment, and the dangers of both, often lurk in the background of Star Wars stories. Those themes take centre stage this time, with memorable and rewarding results.
Developer Respawn Entertainment clearly took a measured and thoughtful approach to analyse what worked and what didn’t in its last Star Wars game, and Jedi: Survivor feels like a worthy attempt at evolution. It captures the magic of Star Wars as well as anything in the current canon, and it’s a stellar adventure in its own right. Still, nailing the fantasy of being a Jedi? Doesn’t hurt.”
VERDICT – 9.25 / 10
Jordan Middler – VGC
“Star Wars isn’t one thing, and it hasn’t been for a long time. You need only look at the breadth of films, Disney+ shows, and the expanded universe to see that, but what Star Wars Jedi: Survivor gets so right is that no matter your preference in a galaxy far, far away, it delivers.
Excellent characters led by a wonderful Cameron Monaghan performance, an exciting story that shocked us with twists from hour one to hour thirty. The performance issues we encountered were disappointing but didn’t dampen the excitement of exploring the galaxy with some of the best characters of the Disney era.”
VERDICT – 5 / 5
Jordan Ramée – GameSpot
“Survivor builds on Fallen Order in several meaningful ways, tightening up the combat mechanics, expanding the variety of lightsaber styles, alleviating the frustration of platforming and puzzles, and digging into less-mainstream
Star Wars lore tells a fantastic story about a Jedi trying to defeat a tyrannical evil at all costs and coming to the realisation that you can’t just fight for good–you have to fight for good in the right way. It’s a superb Star Wars game that gets into the nitty-gritty of the struggle of what it takes for a Jedi Knight to begin the journey toward the rank of Master.”
VERDICT 8 / 10
