Picking up five years after the events of STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order™, Jedi: Survivor is a third person, narrative-driven action-adventure game from Respawn Entertainment, developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor™ will be available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC on April 28th, 2023.
SWJ: Survivor’s review embargo has been lifted. And the first ones I’ve seen are all glowing.
The current top metacritic review from each of the platforms the game is releasing on:
IGN France - 100 (PC)
Star Wars Jedi Survivor is the best game in the franchise since Kotor, offering an immersive gaming experience with captivating exploration, exciting combat and extensive customization.
NME - 100 (PS5)
The best action adventure released in 2023 so far, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor has a confidence to its world and the play that it totally manages to back up by how fun it is. A must-play, perhaps the best action game of the generation so far.
XBox Era - 94
STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor continues Respawn’s run as one of the best in the industry. It is an incredible accomplishment, blending top-tier gameplay and narrative in a package few games can match. Performance during my review was rough, but if they can smooth it out then this is a game that no one should miss. For fans of STAR WARS, this is the game we have been waiting for. One that fixes the mistakes of the previous, and soars to heights we could have only dreamed of.
Another PC after thought with major performance issues on release. Guess I’ve got another month to try and finish Fallen Order while waiting for the patches…
EA’s excuse for the PC issues. Some snarky wording here. You’re using new tech on an old OS! Technically, some HW is optimised for Win 11, but this is a lame excuse.
Agree. This whole excuse of an apology sounds like it was pre-written by their AI Intern that they’re using in the PR department. They’re blaming PC players for not having the absolutely identical specs to the sponsored machines that their two QA testers they employed for an after school session one Wednesday, on minimum wage, used.
Am so glad EA’s Star Wars exclusivity is expiring. Hopefully it’ll help the development and publishing of future SW games a little better to have a variety of studios and publishers able to compete.
