I finally picked up Jedi Fallen Order from Gamestop this week and I got it for a steal of $4 after my monthly coupon was applied.

Honestly, I'd have paid more for it now that I've seen some of it. It's really well done! I've only made it as far as Zeffo, with a brief detour to Dathomir because I couldn't not visit Dathomir on the earliest available opportunity (plus there's a dual-bladed lightsaber upgrade there), but it's got gorgeous visuals. It so captures the Star Wars atmosphere and that peculiar mix of the modern and the archaic which makes Star Wars so charming. It also does an excellent job of encouraging exploration and creating that sense of wonder over seeing new places and trying to piece together the story of what happened there.

The combat definitely takes a note from Dark Souls, but in a far more forgiving sense, which makes it (imo) more fun. I'm still getting used to the mix of lightsaber and force powers but for the most part it's been a fairly smooth ride and I appreciate that.

I'm very interested to see where the rest of the game goes because I've enjoyed the first two (and a half) planets so much!
