Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
GameOn Magazine|Issue 163 - May 2023
Recently, I had a chance to try out roughly three hours of developer Respawn Entertainment's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the highly anticipated sequel to their Jedi: Fallen Order.

In addition to letting me have a good look at the game, they and publisher EA also flew me out to Los Angeles, got me a nice hotel room, fed me a lot of food, and even provided admission for a whole day at Disneyland, all of which I rather enjoyed! However, the best part of the experience was certainly getting that chance to experience Jedi: Survivor, even if only for a scant few hours.

The build I played picked up around Cal's journey on Koboh, the second planet of Survivor which was a mountainous locale with lush scenery, beautiful waterfalls, and a fine little town called Rambler's Reach. Sadly, Cal's not really on Koboh for vacation - The Mantis, Cal's trusty spaceship, has been damaged in the landing and can no longer leave the surface. Thankfully, Cal and BD-1 can just head to the local Cantina, Pyloon's Saloon, where the proprietor can supply them with some much-needed repairs. As an added bonus, they already know the Cantina's owner, Greez Dritus, the former owner of The Mantis and old friend to Cal and BD-1. Their reunion was easily one of the best parts of the entire experience. The dialogue here, as well as in the rest of the game, was in top form, with a great mix of humour and drama that should satisfy any fan of the prior instalment or the greater Star Wars canon. Cal, BD-1, Greez, and all of the other characters are an absolute delight to hear from, both in terms of writing and performances.
