Game crashes constantly, its ridiculous that games come out these days are absolute trash. The craziest part is that it's games that are made by companies with endless resources, yet games made by small studios or single people are 100x's better.

Disclaimer: This review is based on this game running basically flawlessly. I know there are performance issues, and that is a damn shame. For those with performance issues, I highly recommend researching mods that solve many of those issues. I also recommend forcing it to run in DirectX 12 - this solved my stuttering.

I am so very glad I solved the performance issues of this game. It's not only one of the very best Star Wars games of all time, but it's also one of the most compelling Star Wars stories of all time, with some of the best Star Wars characters of all time, and definitely the best droid of all time. It's also an amazing refinement of the action adventure genre to the point that Miyazaki himself could learn a thing or two from it.

The world is huge and stunningly beautiful, the characters are memorable, well-written, well-voiced, and engaging. The combat and skill system are refined and exciting. The traversal is smooth and fast. The puzzles (for the most part) are excellent and a vast improvement on the first game.

What stunned me the most was the endgame experience. Instead of being a chore, a grind, or a mindless collectathon, I was compelled to find almost everything because of the way the side quests recontextualize areas you've already explored. They added new story elements, dialogue, enemies, and environmental changes. It took an already impressively huge and exciting world and milked way more enjoyment out of it than I thought possible. By the time the credits rolled, no zone was less than 95% explored, and at no point in that exploration did anything feel forced.

It's the best Star Wars story I've experienced in a long time wrapped around a masterpiece of game design. Screw EA for the way they handled it. I can only hope the third installment is able to cut through EA's BS and continue to build on what was done here.

This game runs like a charm with the tool SpecialK.
Get the SpecialK archive (not the installer) extract it anywhere.
Copy SpecialK64.dll into \Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Jedi Survivor\SwGame\Binaries\Win64 AND
rename SpecialK64.dll -> dxgi.dll
Press the SpecialK Overlay Buttons (Start/Select with Controller) and cap the fps by doublecklicking to your liking. Instant smooth camera and stable framerates.

Your welcome.
