I mean... 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙤𝙠𝙖𝙮.

Gonna give a quick pro and con for this one but I'll add a short summary to the end.

Pros:
- Star Wars
- Published by EA but they had nothing to do with the development :))
- Well-Paced Combat
- Interesting characters
- Can senselessly murder the droids roaming about the levels by force pushing them into a wall or slashing them to pieces.
because what good is an RPG if you can't kill the critters?
- Thorough signs of character growth and progression
- Interesting skills and exciting unlocks (Lightsaber upgrades)
- Not the most interesting story ever written but one that you can follow and really understand (cause it's cohesive and makes plausible sense *cough* "Ep VIII")
- The double jump is that iconic front flip Luke does in Ep. V while training with Yoda (or is that VI?)
- Thorough of customisation of the Lightsaber
- While not incredibly challenging the puzzles and platforming proved to be interesting and fluid obstacles throughout the gameplay.

Cons:
- Some enemies are double ups like the bounty hunter robots which are different colours but otherwise identical.
- Not KOTOR III
- While you're able to wield your lightsaber as a single or double blade, the use of the dual lightsabers is limited to an ability due to limits on button mapping which was a little disappointing.
- Respawn plugging their own dev studio on the death screen smdh
- The game is not as long as I'd have liked, being passable within 15 hours of gameplay but can stretch up to 25 depending on how much of a completionist you are.
- While the lightsaber had many options for customisation the player character was limited to the standard jacket he wore with the option of wearing the rain-coat. There were unlockable colour sets to choose from but that isn't very redeeming.
- I didn't get to choose to be evil. I want to be evil, damn it.

Summarised:
A fresh new Star Wars game that (to my surprise) doesn't suck, with good combat and progression and some fun puzzle/platformer elements meshed into the traversal of the maps, interesting characters with solid ties between backstory and current story who aren't obnoxious unless you count Cere's huge f*ckin eyeballs. The only big downside to this game was not having enough game to play.
