Review: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is Star Wars at its very best. A thrilling adventure with a stellar cast tied together with smart, expansive combat, and huge new worlds to explore. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Once the mission on Coruscant goes sideways, Cal finds himself reunited with his old friend Greez Dritus, the one-time Mantis captain and now owner and proprietor of Pyloon’s Saloon, a watering hole on the nowhere planet of Koboh. However, as Cal soon discovers, Koboh is home to far more, including a High-Republic-infused mystery that could lead Cal and his crew to a safe haven away from the empire.
Star Wars is at its best when it can trade that bombast and action with quiet moments between characters, and Survivor handles them beautifully. This is Star Wars at its best.
Like Fallen Order, Survivor is a Souls-lite. You gain experience by killing enemies, which is spent at specific resting points throughout the world, however doing so also respawns all the enemies you’ve defeated. You have limited health that’s also only refreshed in this way, and combat at its most basic is dodge-parry-attack.
Having this be the case instead of offering all five at once to switch between feels like it somewhat limits the creativity that could have been offered by the system. As such, it is easy to fall into the trap of over-reliance on one stance, and over-commitment to that stance’s skill tree.
