Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (2023)

Checking out an old clone war base that's been overrun by raiders now back on Koboh. I can dash mid air now, and I can force push things up and pull them down - I'm learning all kinds of new tricks!

Landed on the Shattered Moon base today and looked around for some clues relating to a mysterious device. Raiders got there first but I managed to find what I was looking for and salvaged a new saber out of it all. Short trip overall and back to Jedha now to hand over what I've found.

Now making the jump from Jedha back to Koboh! Jedha was a hostile and baron place but littered with remnants of a civilisation that once called the planet home. The highlight was seeing Merrin again, as well as the rest of the group. They've built a base on Jedha now and are even starting to restore the Jedi archives! I took some holiday snaps of the adventure!

I've just left the starting planet, Koboh, and wanted to share the holiday snaps I took along the way. Really enjoying the photo mode, it's been a nice outlet as I haven't picked my real camera up in a while!

I Did it!

96hrs into this puppy, and I earned the Platinum Trophy... man, That was Fun!

It was my 2nd in this series (4th overall), and just as fun to earn this one, as it was the first.

This game is Not without its' flaws, as there are quite a few glitches. "Thank You" to all the You-Tubers and helpful gamging sites who put together tutuoriols, and walkthroughs, to get me through this. I couldn't (and wouldn't) have done it without you.

What an awesome time to be alive in this era of the gaming. As a Gen-Xer, there were many games that I never saw the end, let alone, 100% of a game. Those poor coders who literally wasted their time writing code for parts of the game that most of us never saw. Honestly, my trophy was considered "Ultra-rare" @ 3.5%, but still, we see more of the code now than we Ever have.

I'm looking forward to #3 in this series. Hopefully the drama in the 'ole developement team won't effect the experience I've come to enjoy in the SW Jedi sereis.

Forget the combat, environments, and characters... It's the next-gen hair dynamics that have grabbed my attention! I didn't think it would make that much of a difference in a game but it's a really neat touch to see Cals hair swish about whenever he jumps, falls, or moves in a dramatic way.

I wonder if it's all physics based or if it's a pre-rendered animation? Does he use product or a simple conditioner?

I just realized I hadn't actually finished this game when I marked it as done -- there's still some final fight.

But I had already gone collecting all the stuff I wanted to, and fought some of the final bosses (like the obligatory guy in the all-black suit and mask), and had like one play session left... and then I forgot about it.

So I think that tells you something about the game's story -- it's not the main reason I played it, for sure. Really I was there for the exploration in Star Wars worlds, and the power fantasy of using a light saber -- but in the late game it's actually kind of too easy.

Finally gotten around to play this. 10 hours in and I'm still having a blast but I have some thoughts.

I'm usually not a fan of RPG-fication of games but I felt like this game would be the first to benefit from it. I don't mean turning it into a full blown, stats-heavy RPG but more like a lite-RPG, something like God of War 2018. The open world maps are huge and filled with various activities (which, thankfully, are not marked on the map like most open world games) but the rewards are almost always cosmetic pieces. It's cool and all but I just can't help but wish these pieces have an actual gameplay effects. For me, that would be a great motivator to actually explore the world. After spending few hours exploring the entirety of the first planet, I'm probably not gonna do it again for other planets in fear of burning out before reaching the end credits.

Also, Turgle is the best character so far.
