Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Review: A Jedi warrior's journey is full of ups and downs
No one can deny the great success achieved by the game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order which was released 3 years ago, after years of drought a series in Star Wars games and now with the return of the series with hero Cal Kestis in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, will we see a continuation of the success her last part?
Story and game world “without spoilers”
Five years after the events of the past part the Jedi warrior Cal Kestis returns to confront the Hell Empire “Galactic Empire” in a quest to impose its complete control over the galaxy and obtain powers, while Cal will have the burden of restoring the glory of the Jedi again after the great massacre that befell By the Emperor because he is considered the last remaining survivors of them.
The Jedi as it is known, is an ancient fictional monastic, spiritual, academic, and monastic organization that appears in the series of all Star Wars works and series and appeared after the Battle of Yavin and the destruction of the Death Star. the poor.
Cal's continued adventure, the Jedi warrior had a clear reason; It is a game industry in which there is less space for risk with the greatest amount of “nostalgia” than the last part which guarantees the success of the work and the continuation of the strong start of this series. This shows that Survivor is just a remake of the past part on a larger scale.
But this does not necessarily mean that the quality was bad. Quite the opposite, which reflects the experience of the developer studio, as the Respawn studio has focused its efforts greatly in order to take advantage of the features of the first part and expand them further.
Deeper and clearer characters
I do not hide that the hero of the current story and the past part Cal won my admiration because of the great suffering he faces, as you see with your own eyes his steadfastness alone in front of the hordes of the Empire and its endless conspiracies and he is still pursued by the Empire along with many other characters.
The beginning of the game and the big trick led by the hero was the main driver of the events and contributed significantly to the atmosphere of the game's story and after that exciting introduction, the events of the story witnessed a change in the events of our hero which is the search for mysterious powers that will enable him to escape and move away from the pursuit of the Emperor, In order to prepare to face them again, you will meet many new friends and allies from the past, and you will have more humane and deeper relationships than the last part.
In the review and evaluation of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, something beautiful in the game that we noticed, and contributed a lot to facilitating the game, is the increase in the Meditaion Circle, due to its great importance in recovering energy and rapid movement, or even retrieving enemies and killing them again to get more points. .
From the way the world is designed in the game, you will be absolutely sure that it is completely directed to fans and fans of the series. As for exploration in the game, this time it has become wider and better than the last part, perhaps because the world has become larger and larger than before. This made the rich variety of side missions even more fun.
Gameplay , Abilities & Weapons
The new direction in the gameplay shows a direct influence on the style of the Souls games, specifically the game “Sekiro”. Yes, you will feel fun a lot of times and some boredom at times, but I hope that the studio will continue to adopt this system in the upcoming parts, as it can become polished. more than this part.
The jump reminds me very much of the smooth “Lara Craft” jumps in the previous parts of the Tom Rider game, with the hero possessing many movements and various evasive methods, “despite its inaccuracy at times.”
The hero has 5 different modes of using the lightsaber, with the ability to change his style, as each method has its own skill tree, meaning that you can carry two laser swords, or a sword alone or a sword with two laser heads, or a laser sword in one hand, and in the other hand a gun.
On the occasion of talking about the skill tree, there is a great diversity from the last part, divided into three main developments, which are “SURVIVE – LIGHTSABER – FORCE” and each section has several sections for development, and you can use experience points in order to develop them and take advantage of new abilities, and they can be redistributed Initially free of charge, while you will need to sacrifice an experience point in order to distribute it again in case there is an urgent need to change the style of play or use a certain ability.
There is also the power that allows our hero to push or pull objects or even enemies themselves, or to control their mental strength and control them at times. Your lovable little companion Bd-1 is now even more important than in the past, both in combat and in helping you solve puzzles, often helping alert you to a puzzle or hidden treasures and items, helping you scavenge different items in each new area you visit, and providing Lots of important details.
Graphics, physics and sounds
There is no doubt that the game's graphics and sounds are generally much better than the previous part, and this is something that appears effectively from the start of the game, whether in remote semi-open environments, or even in narrow or closed spaces, unlike parts of the past series, everything is around you Lively, vibrant.
The sounds of the LIGHTSABER lightsabers were conveyed as elaborately as they are in the movies, with a huge variety of ambient sounds surrounding you, which really make you feel that you are in the Star Wars world and its known environments, and the physics of the game frankly does not fault anything, whether in jumping or throwing things And a lot of things.
On Xbox and PlayStation 5, there will be two modes of play, “Performance” and “Resolution.” The first offers a resolution of 1440p and a speed of 60 frames per second, while the second offers a resolution of 4K and a rate of 30 frames per second, and we strongly recommend playing the quality mode because it is free of problems. It often exceeds the average number of 30 frames.
Star Wars Jedi : Survivor is available now on all platforms!
