Right now you can get an action-adventure in the Star Wars universe on Steam at a significantly lower price. At release, the game struggled with technical issues, but critics consider it one of the best games in Star Wars.
What game is it about? Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the successor to Jedi: Fallen Order. In both games, you take on the role of the Jedi Cal Kestis and fight your way through enemies while solving various puzzles to uncover the story.
The Jedi games from Respawn/EA are regarded as the best Star Wars games in recent years. Star Wars Outlaws (Ubisoft) received rather average reviews, and games like Squadrons or the remake of Star Wars: Battlefront II only partially convinced critics. Jedi Survivor stands out with a Metacritic score of 85, significantly ahead of other Star Wars games in recent years and is regarded by many testers and players as a genuine recommendation for solo players.
Currently, you can get Jedi: Survivor for 13.99 euros on Steam, according to SteamDB the game has not been available cheaper on Steam yet. If you haven’t played the predecessor Fallen Order yet, you should do that first, as otherwise you will only partially understand the story of Jedi: Survivor.
Jedi: Survivor was plagued by technical issues at release in 2023
Why does the game have only balanced ratings? If you checked out Jedi: Survivor on Steam, you may have noticed that the title has over 70,000 ratings, but only 69% of them are positive.
Jedi Survivor indeed shares the same fate as Borderlands 4: The gameplay is praised by everyone, but the game’s technology was a real disaster at release: Many players complained about poor optimization and significant technical issues with the PC version. The problems have diminished compared to release in April 2023, but are not entirely gone.
It’s quite similar with the shooter Borderlands 4. The technology is a disaster and annoys many players who just want to enjoy the shooter. Correspondingly mixed are the reviews on Steam: Borderlands 4 has a mixed start on Steam, but it’s not the gameplay qualities that are annoying
