No spoilers thus far anyway! I just look enough information about a game to whet my appetite and then play it blind from there, and I don’t think anything has really been spoiled yet. I don’t really understand people who voraciously consume everything about a game because you never have that feeling of discovery and learning, it’s like dating a girl after you’ve seen her sex tape already. Rofl that is a bad comparison :D I completely understand your thoughts regarding a game. I mean figuring shit out is half the fun! But I would most definitely still date the girl after I've seen her sex tape ^^ | ||

It probably helps that I haven't played any Uncharted so I'm not tired of the genre and I rather like the different puzzles. The story so far is rather enjoyable to follow, not amazing, standard Star Wars stuff. Was afraid Cal was going to be a bit whiny but he's fine and his relationship with BD1 is well done. And obviously, being a sucker for everything DS/Sekiro like, the light saber fights are just fucking great, finally a game that gets the tension (playing on Jedi Master). | ||

Youngsters these days :p I think playing games from the age of 6 for the next 24 years as one of my main hobbies I’ve seen a lot of stuff before already so remaining relatively unspoiled is that much more important. I know a vague bit about Dark Souls and am about to start playing through. Opinions seem to vary but iirc a lot like how DS worked level design wise, with less fast travel to hubs like in some of the others, and that backtracking is OK because it’s your ‘downtime’ and a mental break after beating an area? It seems to be a consistent complaint about this game which crudely seems to be basically Star Wars Dark Souls? Is there a reason it’s more obnoxious backtracking in Fallen Order? Dark Souls has a really cool art style and world that is probably fun to appreciate when sauntering about, is it not so much the case here? I am currently enjoying my play of Breath of the Wild with self-imposed limits such as not using fast travel, I find it more immersive and I’m enjoying traversing the world but I imagine that’s not sustainable over a full game run, | ||

I take that as a compliment  I think I am actually older than you ^^My first advice still stands btw: Get Origin Premiere for a month and try it out! 15$ is not wasted much if it's not you thing at all. Me personally, I find all kinds of backtracking awful. Specially in games like this where everything can kill you if you are not careful. Much less a problem with, lets say Diablo, where you are lvl 60 in a lvl 20 area and everything just tickles you. Here even 2 stupid rats can kill you. | ||

I think people are bound to be generous because it's the first single player story driven Star Wars game in like 9 years, the first by EA and just generally one of the better ones as well (as well as being a finished game worth the full prize, I remember Force Unleashed 2 I had fully completed in terms of achievements and collectibles in under 12 hours while for Fallen Order it took over 30). For a first effort this was a much better game than I expected, so I'm inclined to rate it more highly. You seem to have expected more, so you rate it a bit lower. In terms of Force Powers, to be honest you are simply limited because it's a game about a Jedi Padawan (with no training other than that) becoming a Jedi Knight. Every other single player Star Wars game where you were in control of a Force user allowed you the option to go to the Dark Side or to at least use its Force Powers (predominantly Force Lightning) to a certain extent, which also made sense within the story. For a Jedi using the Force in combat, beyond Push, Pull, Saber Throw and slowing down time, variety starts to get bleak. In terms of gameplay I suppose the most similar game I've played this year is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. On all accounts, that's a superior game. But Fallen Order had its moments I absolutely adored as well. And I'd be more than happy if they made another. On a different note, who killed y'all the most? My #1 struggle was the Oggdo Bogdo on Bogano cause I just went in with basically no skills and resources so I died a lot. | ||

 + Show Spoiler + Also fully trained Cal at the end of the game is weaker than somewhat-trained Luke on Bespin in Episode 5. | ||

Just yesterday I died multiple times, which was ofc leading to me knowing the way and every move by heart.

Just need to be patient and bug him out with the doorframe  I think I died a lot at the first Zeffo Guardian statue thingy cause obviously I had no idea how to kill it. In general I die a lot if there is more than one enemy and not just blaster troopers | ||

Well, being an honorable man, I engaged him in his arena and got my shit pushed in until I learned the combat well enough. That said, following that experience I focused so much on the dodging aspect of combat and much less on parrying which just made the game harder than it needed to be in some fights. That's a realization I had from watching others play the game after the fact. | ||

Even a doorframe Though I'm ashamed to admit I had to lower the difficulty once + Show Spoiler + The bounty hunter arena was just too much. It was either lower the difficulty or ragequit forever and destroy my PC I dodge way more than I parry. Maybe I should change that | ||
