Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order – New Xbox One Games November 2019
Arguably one of the most anticipated new releases of the year, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order looks to reestablish the Star Wars video game franchise as one that is worthy of reverence.
While Battlefront 2 has got back on track since release, the initial negative reception to it combined with high-profile cancellation has caused some to worry about Star Wars video games.
Fortunately, developers Respawn is on the case here with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. You can make the argument that they are EA’s most talented and respected team right now following their stellar work on both Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends.
So far, we’ve really liked what we’ve got to see of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Our senior editor Hayes Madsen checked it out recently and had this to say about the game’s combat:
“Jedi Fallen Order takes some serious inspiration from games like Dark Souls or Sekiro, but adds an interesting Star Wars spin on things.”
Continuing: “Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to beat the Ninth Sister in the time I was given, but it was an intense battle while it lasted. Obviously, this is only one boss battle out of the entire game, so it’s impossible to make any firm judgment on the quality of the game’s boss battles.
Still, what I can say is that this one battle felt more like an actual lightsaber duel than almost anything I’ve played in Star Wars games before, and boy have I played a lot of Star Wars games over the years.”
