Finished the game yesterday, took 35h for 71% overall completion. Fun game, worth playing, 8/10. Could have been 0.5 points higher if not for technical issues and underwhelming ending. Arguably, better than the first one, but still similar.
Good things:
+ game looks beautiful
+ impressive level design at times, clearly a lot of work went into that
+ good / rewarding exploration (skill points, perks, force / life upgrades)
+ fun combat with some customization (stance + perks + skills)
+ good enemy variety
+ very good / responsive platforming (and this is coming from a guy who hates platforming)
+ decent writing
+ authentic characters
+ sense of humor & lot of love put into making this (eg. droid conversations)
+ game doesn't waste player time, straight to the point, very little filler
Bad things:
- port was horrible, took them 2 weeks to patch everything (frame drops, poor performance, crashes after Patch 4 with Ray Tracing off etc.)
- combat, while fun, can quickly become a clusterfuck with many enemies at once; something is off with lock-on / targeting at times
- end game seems... off? as somebody said in this thread, I'm pretty sure they initially wanted to end the game sooner and last few hours of end game were rushed / added in haste
- some of the boss fights are bullshit category, fortunately optional (we're talking difficulty higher than 90% of Elden Ring bosses here)
- there are some woke elements, fortunately more 'funny' than 'in your face' (eg. black woman mechanic exploring the swamps, another black woman jedi / brilliant scientist, muscular woman farmer, etc.)
- bounties are poorly implemented, forcing you to always go back to a specific spot to get more
I had fun. I would never except this will be more enjoyable for me than Wo Long, but it was. Will buy the sequel if it comes some day.
