EA Play was available for 1$ for a month and this along with a few other games were in the library so I decided to check it out.
Plot:
Cal, a Padawan who survived the events of Revenge of the Sith, must become a Jedi and rebuild the order.
The game is focused on melee combat, exploration and platforming.
Pros:
Story and characters are solid
Great environment and art direction
Level Design was decent
Really liked the combat and enemy variety but a few aspects didn't quite click with me, especially force powers
Platforming improves as you start getting more powers
Music is pretty epic from time to time
Good Graphics
The second half is better than first half, after you learn more abilities
Cons:
This game has severe technical issues on base PS4
Pop-in pretty much everywhere, especially when you enter a new area
Frame rate tanks when there's lots of draw distance heavy places or when there's lots of enemies
FPS tanks in effects heavy scenes as well
Loading times are atrocious
Loot in this game is the most idiotic thing I've ever seen, most loot is cosmetic and made exploration pointless at times
Overall, this is a decent game marred by a lot of technical issues on my base PS4. Not glitches, but performance issues. So I have to give it 2.5/5.
I recommend playing it on a PC with an SSD or on a next gen console, which runs at 60FPS without these issues. There's also rumours about a native next gen version so maybe wait till that. If I had played the game there I probably would have given it 3.5/5.
