Star Wars Jedi: Survivor<\/p>\n

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor <\/em>has mostly met with favorable reviews, but it\u2019s facing some justified backlash from PC players upset with the game\u2019s lackluster performance.<\/p>\n

I wrote about this the other day, warning gamers about the game\u2019s problems the day before it released<\/a>. Luckily for me, however, the big Day Zero patch solved most of the game\u2019s problems\u2014though this isn\u2019t the case for everyone.<\/p>\n

While before I was seeing major framerate drops and hard crashes, I\u2019m mostly getting above 70 frames-per-second now with only the occasional dip, and no crashes (knock on wood) since the update. This is a good thing especially for big, chaotic moments, epic fights and cinematic cutscenes\u2014all choke points before the update that could bring the game to its knees.<\/p>\n

I say this because scenes like the one below would simply not be as awesome if they were stuttering like crazy or if the sound and dialogue was all messed up.<\/p>\n

In the video below<\/a>, I\u2019m playing a mission on the desert planet of Jedha along with the Dathomirian Nightsister, Merrin. After a pretty long and involved mission where Cal Kestis gains a new power, you find yourself pursued by this gargantuan metal monstrosity. It\u2019s a mining robot that looks like a massive flying squid. Using your powers and green portals that Merrin conjures with her magic, Cal and Merrin are able to pull off some pretty insane stunts.<\/p>\n

This game\u2019s platforming is simply superb, and this scene is a showcase of much of what the game is all about: Wall-running, double-jumping, air-dashing, ziplining, grapple-hooking, and using the force and Merrin\u2019s magic to pretty much fly across this vast, desert landscape. It\u2019s absolutely stunning, though I realize that for some gamers experiencing performance issues, it will sadly not be as fun as it should be.<\/p>\n

In the video<\/a>, I didn\u2019t realize I was recording with my second mic which was away from my face at the time, so when I screw up a few times (it\u2019s hard to see where to go with all the crazy visual effects!) you can hear me sort of laughing or wailing in the distance (lol, my bad). Still, what a moment in this game! So cool!<\/p>\n

Enjoy:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure that actually qualifies as a boss fight, but it\u2019s close enough. It reminds me a bit of the epic scale and cinematic nature of early God Of War <\/em>game\u2019s boss fights, but with some Prince Of Persia <\/em>thrown into the mix. Pretty neat!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to see a little more of the game in action, I review it (with Baby Yoda) in the below video<\/a>:<\/p>\n

How\u2019s your time with Jedi: Survivor <\/em>been so far? Is it running okay or is it a buggy mess? It really seems to vary from person to person even on the same platform. Anyways: Let me know on Twitter<\/a> or Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As always, I\u2019d love it if you\u2019d follow me here on this blog<\/a> and subscribe to my YouTube channel<\/a> and my Substack<\/a> so you can stay up-to-date on all my TV, movie and video game reviews and coverage. Thanks!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
