Okay, I’m going to preface this review of Star Wars JEDI: Fallen Order with a conclusion on the game: it’s a fun and sometimes frustrating game to play. It’s good, which I know is kind of shocking when talking about an EA game. At the same time… it’s a game that is also safe and very unoriginal in nearly everything it does. Nothing about it’s design, gameplay, or even the story is going to qualify as unique or innovative.
That’s not always a bad thing in a game… sometimes just executing on the polish is enough. You can level a similar argument with the game Horizon: Zero Dawn (though the plot in that is certainly unique, as are the enemy designs), where the mechanics of the game are all lifted from other games and polished to a shine.
