Should you play Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order?

 Should you play Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order?

Let me start this by saying that I have never cared about Star Wars. I was the jerk who said "oh it's overhyped, who cares, blah blah blah". (Doesn't it suck to look back on yourself and realize you were that guy?)

Anyways, my friend bought me this game for Christmas and that made me feel obligated to play it. Him and I always talk progress in our games, so I wanted him to know that I appreciated the gift. I started it with little to no expectations, aside from what little I had heard from various internet sources(Spawn Wave I'm looking at you).

I was immediately impressed with the presentation of the game. No, it's not perfect, or the most beautiful game ever made or anything like that, but it looks and plays great. And the first time you swing the lightsaber(dare i say it), you FEEL like a jedi. Nah, but seriously, the combat feels great most of the time, and the progression system is paced well enough that you learn your new moves before you get new ones. I never felt overwhelmed by options there.

The story is nothing to write home about, but it has some compelling characters, and I am a big Cal Kestis fan now. Dude is badass. Did I mention BD-1? I LOVE BD-1. What a great little droid. We must protect him at all costs.

If you're looking for a sci-fi souls-like that isn't too hard, definitely give this a try. Especially with how often it goes on sale. I think I've seen it for like $5 on steam? That's a steal for this game. I'm going to be picking up the sequel ASAP.
