Whether it’s for Cal's appearance, BD-1's looks or Cal's lightsaber, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor features a lot of customisation options. While exploring, you will occasionally find stats upgrades, Breath of the Wild-esque puzzle-filled Jedi Meditation Chambers, or even unlock customisation options. The fast-paced aspect of the exploration makes the experience fun while keeping you on your toes as you try not to fall to your death while wall-running several metres (kilometres?) above ground. This requires you to keep your eyes peeled for interactive elements that could otherwise be missed. The latter involves quite a lot of platforming and parkour sessions on surfaces cleverly concealed within the environment that don’t stick out like a sore thumb. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor also balances combat and exploration well. The game’s minimal HUD further lets you bask in the gorgeously depicted landscapes. Then there are more open sections such as Koboh where you can actually converse with NPCs, ride friendly fauna and explore to uncover secret areas. The first mission of the game takes place in a Coruscant chock-full of details that made me wish I was more free to explore the city and converse with its inhabitants. This is further supplemented by the highly detailed environment. Respawn Entertainment adds a dash of cinematic aspect to the presentation with seamless transition between cutscenes and gameplay accompanied by Star Wars-y audio score throughout. This extends to the animation of allies, enemies and environment where the intricately rendered motions bring the game’s universe to life.
Cal’s animations as he parkours across the galaxy’s surfaces, performs lightsaber finishes or squeezes through tight spaces are nothing short of incredible. What mostly overshadowed the plot for me was the overall presentation.
