rocky41_7Alright so I've finished the game.
Absolutely thumbs-up, this game impressed me so much more than I expected. I loved exploring the different worlds, which were all beautifully rendered, and the combat was smooth and enjoyable. I loved how the narrative handled the Jedi and how Cal and Cere are both so committed to putting themselves in harm's way to try to protect others who are less able to do it because it's what they were trained to do.
The Zeffo were fascinating and I loved the tomb exploration and the sheer size of the ruins and the objects inside. Past alien cultures offer such a great opportunity for the "exploring the ruins of a grandiose past culture that no one understands anymore and trying to piece together their history" which I always enjoy.
I loved how the game kept emphasizing the Empire's disregard for natural ecosystems and the damage they did to the natural landscape wherever they went, whether by pollution, deforestation, or careless and rampant expansion. The close connection between the empire and environmental destruction feels particularly pertinent in today's world with corporate-driven climate change.
Also Trilla and the Ninth Sister were such neat antagonists; I really enjoyed them. I only wish we'd gotten to see more of the Ninth Sister!
I'll definitely stick around now that I'm post-campaign to grab some more of the trophies.

The Zeffo tombs you get to explore as part of Cal's quest are so interesting @.@ And it was a fascinating look at a pre-Jedi culture that was Force-sensitive.
