Is Cal Kestis' second outing Hoth stuff? Find out in our Star Wars Jedi Survivor review:
It’s an understatement to say Star Wars hasn’t had a particularly flawless record when it comes to storytelling. Whether you’re slating the prequels, dunking on the sequels, or scrutinising [insert Disney+ series here], there’s a vast difference in quality throughout the franchise.
This is a tale with countless twists and turns too, along with plenty of moments that will have you reeling in shock or gasping with awe. Gorgeously shot set pieces followed by tough, tense action sequences mean that throughout the story, you’ll never want to look away. It’s only a matter of time before we see Cameron Monaghan appear as Cal Kestis in something live-action too, because he is phenomenal here once again.
Jedi Survivor isn’t just more vast than Fallen Order though; it’s also much deeper. Greez, the three-armed Latero grandfather figure from the first game has set up a saloon at the heart of Koboh, which acts as a base away from the Mantis for Cal, and has a whole host of interesting characters to meet and learn about. As you explore, you can recruit friendly folk to the saloon, such as Tulli and Bhima, two characters who must be rescued from a Mogu.
While you can only equip two at a time, you can switch on the fly mid-battle, and it enables vastly different combat styles and animations. Unless you’re disposing of stormtroopers in one swing, no two battles are the same.
