Jedi: Survivor injects a huge amount of life into the Star Wars universe, and in doing so gives Respawn room to play. There are living worlds to explore, not just arenas of carefully-placed stormtroopers. Planets feel like planets, rather than tiny regions. Set-pieces offer incredible vistas and heart-in-mouth action scenes. An early scene feels like a shot directly out of the original trilogy. The galaxy itself has been brought to life in a way more in line with the best Star Wars movies than anything Jedi: Fallen Order offers. Combine that with a fighting style which flows between strikes more smoothly, and a camera that closes ever-so-slightly closer in on the action, and Cal feels like the hero of his story from its opening moments.īut it's not just Cal that feels better from the start. The Force Powers that Cal spent Jedi: Fallen Order recovering – double-jumps, wall-running, push and pull – are all there, ensuring versatility in combat from the outset.
The result is a Jedi more confident and agile than before, a fighter who feels like he's reveling in his abilities from the very beginning. While most sequels offer something of a character reset, the story of Fallen Order makes that impossible for Cal – his growth through that game a crucial part of what his character has become in this one. Picking up five years after the events of Jedi: Fallen Order, Cal Kestis is himself key to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's expansion.
