Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order On The Cusp of Perfection

How do you remember Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order? I remember it being one of the better titles to release in 2019 but I wouldn’t blame you for forgetting about it, as 2019 gave us some insane releases. Pokemon Sword and Shield, Metro Exodus, Sekiro, DMC 5, and releases like Outer Wilds and Catherine Full Body occupy my top ten of all time. That didn’t stop many from enjoying the game however, as Jedi Fallen Order received some excellent reviews. I loved the game for being a self contained Star Wars experience, requiring minimal external knowledge of the world or events to understand the story. Vibrant worlds, an intriguing story, and visceral combat lead to me remembering the game fondly. With the announcement of this game's sequel, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, I’ve had an itch to replay Jedi Fallen Order, and spoiler alert, I am glad I did. I can also finally keep my word about covering this game, as I promised it would be the next video almost 3 years ago now. Better late than never. While there were some hiccups in the performance and combat, the game overall is a fun ride from beginning to end. So, without further adieu let’s take a look back at what I would consider to be the best modern Star Wars video game, 3 years later. I’ll be spoiling most of the game here too so be warned.

Something important to note about Fallen Order is that it is, mostly, self contained. This remedies any issues with lore, as the game has no greater impact on the Star Wars universe, but it also makes the game accessible. I have to admit, I like Star Wars, and I have seen all the movies, and played all the games, but only once or twice. I wouldn’t consider myself a die hard fan, and I entered this game with a surface level understanding of Jedis, Siths, The Force, and the galaxy, far far away. Fortunately, my experience was not hindered at all, and what information I did know before going in was rewarded. There were small cameos from characters I recognised from the films, and plenty of familiar songs will score your journey.

Unfortunately, all of these praises are under a caveat that the game didn’t run the best on launch and still struggles occasionally. These hiccups were minor in my experience, and often occurred when exploring new areas, leading me to believe that the game is chugging as it loads new textures in, perhaps this could be alleviated when playing on the PS5s SSD, but on the PS4 it did struggle in some minor areas. On PC it was a similar story on my Hard Drive, but everything was as smooth as possible on an SSD. All footage was captured on PC, but I have played both versions. I’d say go for the PC version as it offers more replayability through mods, some of which are a bit too horny for my taste, but others like being able to customise your lightsaber down to the exact colour value, can enhance a new game plus playthrough.


Star Wars is a series I am not very familiar with. With the release of star wars jedi survivor I've had an urge to replay star wars jedi fallen order. With the release of a new star wars game on the horizon, we should look at one of the better star wars game, perhaps the best star wars game, which I find to be consistently on the cusp of perfection.
