Jedi Fallen Order is the game every Star Wars fan has been waiting for. Its level design, exploration and combat mechanics are great, and so is the use of the license. Sadly it is short (from 6 to 10 hours) and graphics feel a bit outdated.

You’re going to occasionally roll your eyes at a cheesy moment or groan at a technical issue, but Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order stands alone as an action game devoid of its Star Wars influence. If you grin at the mere mention of the phrase “kyber crystals,” you’ll get even more out of it.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order comes painfully close to being the best action game of the year, but it ultimately falls short due to pacing problems and a host of technical issues. Still, this is the first step into a larger world for a franchise that has persistently struggled since its acquisition by EA.

| 33bits | Rubén Rionegro | 90 / 100 | 12-12-2019 | Respawn Entertaiment has given us one of the surprises of the year with this title, a fun, long and very varied game in its development. It takes concepts from several well-known titles and mixes them in an impressive way leaving a very good taste in the mouth. Against it they play some graphic problems, an unimpressive story and a very badly rewarded backtraking, but they don't get to tarnish the quality of this title. If you are a fan of the universe created by George Lucas, Jedi Fallen Order is a must. | Read review |
| 3DNews | Алексей Лихачев | 9 / 10 | 11-24-2019 | A spectacular and engaging adventure which will be appealing to both Star Wars fans and those who don't really care about this universe and just want to buy something like Uncharted and God of War. | Read review |
| Areajugones | Antonio Vallejo Taslimi | 8 / 10 | 11-18-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the game that all fans have been waiting for almost a decade. The battle system, movement and metroidvania elements, as well as the simplicity with which it executes all of its departments, allow this game to be a very enjoyable one for the audience. Nevertheless, its short story, which also lacks depth, may stir trouble for some. Still, just because of the combination of exploration and art we can guarantee that this game will make it worth your while. | Read review |
| Ars Technica | Sam Machkovech | Recommended | 11-15-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has incredibly good elements, and they play out exceptionally well in its first three hours. Force-power diversity, combat animations, beautiful opening zones, clever puzzles, and Jedi-salvation stakes could lead anybody to believe they were in for a Star Wars single-player epic worth investing in. | Read review |
| Atomix | Alberto Desfassiaux | 90 / 100 | 11-15-2019 | I do not know we are facing the best game with "Star Wars" in its name. What I am sure of is that Electronic Arts is finally delivering a worthy game and that it meets not only what fans of this franchise are waiting for, but what every consumer anticipates when paying for an AAA game in 2019. | Read review |
| Attack of the Fanboy | Brandon Adams | 4 / 5 stars | 11-19-2019 | Respawn did nothing to reinvent the wheel, but instead married a bunch of popular gameplay genres together into a cohesive whole, wrapped up in well-crafted Star Wars story. It may not be KOTOR levels of greatness, but it’s good. | Read review |
| AusGamers | Steve Farrelly | 8 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | the story here is classic Star Wars. The characters are infectious, and the planet-hopping and Metroidvania game design, once you’ve gained most of your base abilities, is fun and rewarding. | Read review |
| BaziCenter | Bahram Bigharaz | 9 / 10 | 11-28-2019 | Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is a game worthy of Star Wars name, and although it is released by EA, there is no sign of in-app purchases and there is no requirement to connect to the internet. It’s just a rich, deep, good old action adventure title that we don’t come across very often anymore. | Read review |
| Bazimag | Vahid Zohrabi Nejad | 7 / 10 | 01-18-2020 | We expected more from this but the sheer amount of technical issues and a lack of risk taking and new ideas made this to be the Star Wars we were not looking for. | Read review |
| But Why Tho? | Adrian Ruiz | 8.5 / 10 | 11-19-2019 | It strikes a nice balance between games like Dark Souls and Tomb Raider by implementing Star Wars elements to make the mechanics it’s own. If not for the occasionally bugged out enemy, slow texture loads, and lack of colorblind options, I would say it is near perfect. | Read review |
| Cerealkillerz | Julian Bieder | 9 / 10 | 11-18-2019 | Jedi: Fallen Order is guilty of borrowing loads of already established gameplay elements from other titles, but blends them together almost seamlessly. It gets accompanied with an intruiging story and colourful characters, making it the game Star Wars fans were yearning for. If only they left out those pesky sliding passages... | Read review |
| CGMagazine | Zubi Khan | 8.5 / 10 | 11-18-2019 | Beside a few nagging puzzles and backtracking sequences, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is an excellent game, both for fans of action-adventure titles and of course, fans of games set in galaxies, far far away. | Read review |
| Cheat Code Central | Lucas White | 4 / 5 stars | 11-15-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a big, sloppy hodgepodge of AAA video game tropes, nerdy Star Wars stuff, and unearned blockbuster drama. | Read review |
| Chicas Gamers | Alba Nausicáa | Recommended | 11-19-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is possibly the game that fans of Star Wars series have been waiting for a long time and that we finally have in stores. The lore will not be the best, nor the characters the most charismatic, however, we will be able to enjoy the universe that we all are passionate about, feel like true Jedi, use their skills, kill troopers from the Empire and defeat the Dark Side. | Read review |
| COGconnected | Garrett Drake | 90 / 100 | 11-14-2019 | I love Star Wars, I love video games, and Fallen Order is a glorious amalgamation of the two. | Read review |
| Critical Hit | Brad Lang | 8 / 10 | 11-19-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is an ambitious exploration of the Star Wars universe that succeeds in delivering both compelling combat and characters, even if it suffers from tedious exploration mechanics and a lack of polish. | Read review |
| Cubed3 | Drew Hurley | 8 / 10 | 11-27-2019 | A new hope is here, as Star Wars video games finally get the long-awaited return to form they deserve. The creators clearly care about the source material, and have produced a story and a setting that will hopefully continue being explored. There are some teething issues here, but there is much more promise. Respawn has created the first step on what could be a very bright future. | Read review |
| Cultured Vultures | Billy Givens | 8 / 10 | 11-18-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order suffers from some annoying pacing issues, but the attention to detail and fundamentally solid gameplay makes it the best Star Wars game in over a decade. | Read review |
| Daily Dot | AJ Moser | 4.5 / 5 stars | 11-19-2019 | While this is a fantastic game on its own merits, it also stands as a towering achievement in Star Wars storytelling. I can’t wait to see what’s next for this spinoff and these characters. Fallen Order walks in to a crowded universe with big, unique goals and far surpasses the standard for Star Wars games. | Read review |
| Daily Mirror | Matthew Osborn | 4 / 5 stars | 11-21-2019 | Overall, the game's core is satisfying | Read review |
| Daily Star | Ben Walker | 4 / 5 stars | 11-18-2019 | Fallen Order is a game with intricate and satisfying combat – some of the best we've ever seen in a Star Wars game. But Respawn relies on that as a selling point, and focuses less on creating a polished experience. | Read review |
| Darkstation | Allen Kesinger | 3.5 / 5 stars | 11-22-2019 | As much as I struggled with the SekiDarkSoulsBorne gameplay, it offers the best realization of lightsaber combat that I really, really wanted to get good at. I don’t feel it matches the finesse of the From Software titles but at the end of the day, I can appreciate it. What hurts the game overall, though, are its technical problems that cover the product with a notable stain. | Read review |
| Destructoid | Chris Carter | 8 / 10 | 11-18-2019 | You're going to occasionally roll your eyes at a cheesy moment or groan at a technical issue, but Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order stands alone as an action game devoid of its Star Wars influence. If you grin at the mere mention of the phrase "kyber crystals," you'll get even more out of it. | Read review |
| Digital Chumps | Alex Tudor | 9 / 10 | 02-22-2019 | Jedi: Fallen Order mixes the magic of Star Wars with the stellar combat gameplay mechanics Respawn can provide. It's both challenging and exhilarating. Technical issues and minor graphical bugs plague what is otherwise the best Star Wars game in over two decades. | Read review |
| Digital Trends | Gabe Gurwin | 4 / 5 stars | 12-01-2019 | Fallen Order isn't original, but it's a fantastic romp any Star Wars fan should play. | Read review |
| DualShockers | Chris Compendio | 8 / 10 | 11-19-2019 | A magnificent blend of genres makes Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order a solid game, but technical hitches prevent it from taking the high ground. | Read review |
| Easy Allies | Brad Ellis | 4.5 / 5 stars | 11-15-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a fantastic title and stands as one of the best Star Wars games yet. | Read review |
| Echo Boomer | David Fialho | Recommended | 11-22-2019 | One of the best surprises of the year, very close to what Star Wars fans were craving for. | Read review |
| EGM | Michael Goroff | 6 / 10 | 11-20-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has its heart in the right place, delivering that Star Wars fantasy that is sure to please fans of the franchise. But putting aside the lightsabers and Wookiees, Fallen Order is too often unsuccessful in implementing ideas from better games, and ends up seeming like a pale imitation in comparison. | Read review |
| Eurogamer | Emma Kent | Not Recommended | 11-15-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order initially delivers well-paced combat and unique environments, but unravels into a tedious and repetitive slog. | Read review |
| Everyeye.it | Gabriele Laurino | 8.3 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | The journey of Cal Kestis could be the beginning of a revival cycle for the Star Wars franchise in gaming | Read review |
| Explosion Network | Dylan Blight | 6 / 10 | 11-21-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the equivalent of Rey and Finn discussing Han Solo in The Force Awakens. Two people with different ideas and stories about who he is. Fallen Order is a very mixed bag of ideas seemingly pulled from various members at Respawn Entertainment that have completely different ideas about what makes a good Jedi game and unable to settle on a singular and unique vision. | Read review |
| Forbes | Erik Kain | 9.5 / 10 | 12-11-2019 | Do yourself a favor and pick this one up. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is absolutely one of my favorite games of 2019, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. | Read review |
| Game Informer | Andrew Reiner | 8.8 / 10 | 11-14-2019 | Jedi: Fallen Order tells a new Star Wars story and takes players to new places. It sits nicely alongside the Rebels and Resistance TV shows, which also dare to be different | Read review |
| Game Rant | Denny Connolly | 4.5 / 5 stars | 11-18-2019 | Star Wars Jedi Fallen Empire combines puzzle-solving, exploration, and combat to deliver one of the most ambitious single-player Star Wars games ever. | Read review |
| Game Revolution | Jason Faulkner | 4 / 5 stars | 11-19-2019 | Jedi Fallen Order isn’t perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction. The critical factor with this game is that it taps into that sense of adventure that Star Wars instills in fans. | Read review |
| Gameblog | Jonathan Bushle | 8 / 10 | 11-17-2019 | Star Wars : Jedi Fallen Order Order is a very good game with a lot of well managed influences (Metroid, Tomb Raider, Uncharted or Sekiro). This is the game Star Wars fans are looking for | Read review |
| GameCrate | Quibian Salazar-Moreno | 9.3 / 10 | 11-14-2019 | For those of you pleading for a good Star Wars game, it's finally here. No lootboxes, no microtransactions, just an action-packed adventure in a galaxy far, far away. | Read review |
| Gamefa | Aria Moghadam | 8.5 / 10 | 11-30-2019 | Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is probably EA's best title in 2019. Engaging, fun and fluent, EA is back with a single player Star Wars after a few years of not showing interest in making this kind of games. Jedi Fallen Order is a mixture of all the good moments in games like Uncharted, Prince of Persia and Dark Souls and it's an epic comeback for Respawn studios. | Read review |
| GameGrin | Jamie Sharp | 8 / 10 | 12-18-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a great Star Wars game that's true to the lore of the universe. As a first step for the series into the soulslike genre it feels natural, though it also offers a more hardcore game mode for those that want a real challenge. | Read review |
| GameMAG | Unknown | 7 / 10 | 11-26-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is not "metroidvania with elements of Dark Souls" you wanted. It could be better, if not for the numerous technical problems and mediocre plot. Atmospheric and variable locations, good puzzles along with beautiful graphics can please fans of linear adventures, especially against the background of failed films and the lack of really good games based on Star Wars. | Read review |
| GamePitt | Rob Pitt | 8.4 / 10 | 12-12-2019 | With an interesting story, beautiful visuals, and a great soundtrack, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the best Star Wars game in years. The game has its flaws with performance issues, boring characters, the occasional glitchy jump, and overuse of the sliding mechanic, but the positives easily outweigh these, resulting in a very enjoyable and entertaining 15-20 hour narrative adventure. If you’re a fan of Souls-like combat and Metroidvanias, you should already have this game, whether you’re a Star Wars fan or not, as the gameplay alone is worthy of picking it up. Free of Microtransactions and focused on the Single-player experience, THIS is how you make an engaging and interesting Star Wars game. | Read review |
| Gameplanet | Andi Garnett | 9 / 10 | 11-26-2019 | Jedi: Fallen Order is a masterfully crafted game that more than makes up for the drought of single-player entries in the Star Wars franchise. With a honed balance of challenge and accomplishment, galaxy-spanning exploration, and a story set in the heart of the Star Wars saga, it's a must-have title for any fan. | Read review |
| GamePro | Maximilian Franke | 85 / 100 | 11-15-2019 | Jedi: Fallen Order does not reinvent Star Wars. What it does, it makes it really good. The story, though, could be bolder. | Read review |
| Gamers Heroes | Johnny Hurricane | 10 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Much like what Arkham Asylum did for Batman games, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order sets the new standard for Star Wars titles. Not only is it a great Star Wars game, it is also the best game of the year. | Read review |
| Gamersky | 心灵奇兵 | 8.2 / 10 | 11-20-2019 | Although lacking in innovation, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the best Star Wars game of all time. | Read review |
| GamesBeat | Jeff Grubb | 93 / 100 | 11-15-2019 | It is the kind of achievement that is only possible when one of the best developers in the world puts all of its might into making something special. And I hope we get more just like it in the future. | Read review |
| GameSkinny | Jonny Foster | 8 / 10 | 11-22-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has some technical issues and poor pacing but is still an amazing single-player Star Wars game. | Read review |
| GameSpew | Richard Seagrave | 8 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | The Force is strong with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but sometimes glimpses of the dark side seep through. | Read review |
| GameSpot | Phil Hornshaw | 8 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Respawn Entertainment's foray into the Star Wars universe balances Force powers with tough difficulty to make the best Jedi game in years. | Read review |
| GamesRadar+ | Ben Tyrer | 4 / 5 stars | 11-14-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order might take ideas liberally from others, but the result is an endearing adventure that ranks as EA's best Star Wars effort yet. | Read review |
| Gaming Nexus | Nicholas Leon | 9 / 10 | 11-25-2019 | This is it, this is the one we've all been waiting for. Here's to hoping that, in the future, whether it's DLC or another installment altogether, that this team from the developers at Respawn can come at this again. | Read review |
| GamingBolt | Will Borger | 8 / 10 | 11-19-2019 | Respawn's latest combines strong level design, excellent puzzles, compelling platforming, great combat, gorgeous visuals, and a fun story to make the best Star Wars game in over a decade. | Read review |
| GamingTrend | Ron Burke | 95 / 100 | 11-14-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is an absolute masterpiece. Well paced, written, and executed, the game is Respawn's best thus far. | Read review |
| Geek Culture | Jake Su | 8.8 / 10 | 11-26-2019 | Respawn can seemingly do no wrong, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order easily becomes one of the best Star Wars game ever made. | Read review |
| Geeks Under Grace | LJ Lowery | 8.5 / 10 | 12-11-2019 | Even with the technical issues that can cause a disturbance in the force, Jedi: Fallen Order is one of the best licensed Star Wars games out there and one of the best third-person action games of the year. | Read review |
| Generación Xbox | Desirée Clary | 8.9 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order is the galactic adventure that fans of the series have been waiting for so long. With a balanced pace and a very measured gameplay for combat, puzzles and platforms, the title knows how to tell a story within the canon that catches from the first moment. | Read review |
| Giant Bomb | Brad Shoemaker | 3 / 5 stars | 11-15-2019 | Jedi: Fallen Order is both one of the best Star Wars games to date and distressingly unrefined. | Read review |
| God is a Geek | Chris White | 8 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is filled with wonderful combat, great visuals, and a decent story, but the technical issues are too prominent to ignore. | Read review |
| GotGame | David Poole | 8.5 / 10 | 12-14-2019 | Respawn has done something for fans of the series, making what is practically a love letter to the franchise. Because of this, thankfully, we can happily say the single-player Star Wars game is back in full force. | Read review |
| GRYOnline.pl | Dariusz Matusiak | 8.5 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Despite minor technical issues and sometimes underwhelming graphics, I had lots of fun. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was a trip down the memory lane; to the times when I played the best Star Wars games for the very first time. Respawn Entertainment can easily put their game on the same shelf as Jedi Outcast. The Force is strong with this one! | Read review |

| Hobby Consolas | David Martinez | 90 / 100 | 11-15-2019 | Jedi Fallen Order is the game every Star Wars fan has been waiting for. Its level design, exploration and combat mechanics are great, and so is the use of the license. Sadly it is short (from 6 to 10 hours) and graphics feel a bit outdated. | Read review |
| IGN | Dan Stapleton | 9 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order makes up for a lot of lost time with a fantastic single-player action-adventure that marks the return of the playable Jedi. | Read review |
| IGN Italy | Giovanni Marrelli | 8.2 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | A great action game that really shines in its combat mechanics and use of Force powers. If you love Star Wars and can't wait to restore the Jedi Order, then you will definitely enjoy Cal's journey, otherwise you could be disappointed by a game that, despite a fun gameplay, is not supported by a compelling story or unforgettable characters. | Read review |

| IGN Spain | David Soriano | 8.1 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | The new Star Wars game puts us in the shoes of a young Padawan who will have to survive after the execution of Order 66 in a mixture of various genres and mechanics that causes that we have liked it more for his galactic ambientantion than his own gameplay merits. | Read review |
| Impulsegamer | Tony Smith | 4.4 / 5 stars | 11-20-2019 | Even so, it is the single-player game that many Star Wars fans wanted and developers Respawn should be commended on successfully revitalising the franchise again and let’s hope this becomes a yearly event. | Read review |
| Jump Dash Roll | Rob Kershaw | 7 / 10 | 12-16-2019 | Unevenly paced and peppered with bugs, Fallen Order demands a lot up front before it reveals its hand. At that point, a thoroughly decent Star Wars adventure unfolds... but patient, you must be. | Read review |
| Just Push Start | Mark Fajardo | 4.25 / 5 stars | 12-04-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the Star Wars experience fans have been waiting for. With several already considering it the best single-player Star Wars experience to date, there is plenty of reasons to be excited. From a captivating plot, challenging combat and plenty of secrets, Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order makes up for previous disappointments. | Read review |

| LevelUp | Víctor Rosas | 9 / 10 | 11-18-2019 | Star Wars has found redemption in Respawn Entertainment. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is without doubt, one of the best Star Wars titles in recent memory, and already has a place in the history of Star War's video games. Respawn Entertainment succeeded and was the chosen one who brought the balance to the Force. | Read review |

| Merlin'in Kazanı | Furkan Güler | 86 / 100 | 11-19-2019 | Jedi Fallen Order ise one of the best Star Wars games. Lightsaber mechanics and graphics are very eye-catching. Also story telling is not bad. But platform mechanics may be better. | Read review |
| Metro GameCentral | Unknown | 7 / 10 | 11-18-2019 | An earnest attempt to create the ultimate Jedi simulator but the mishmash of game influences and an unengaging story leaves it only impacting on the surface. | Read review |
| MMORPG.com | Garrick D. Raley | 9 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | There are so many aspects of Jedi: Fallen Order that I loved, and I hope we get to see more from Respawn in the future. For now, I think this is the Star Wars game I’ve been looking for. | Read review |
| MonsterVine | Sean Halliday | 3 / 5 stars | 12-18-2019 | Star Wars fans will no doubt find enjoyment in the Fallen Order, those expecting a Souls-like may be left a little cold. | Read review |
| MSPoweruser | Lewis White | 7.3 / 10 | 11-18-2019 | Overall, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a solid Star Wars game. A meandering narrative, weirdly-chosen protagonist, shoddy start and technical issues make it hard to recommend, especially with such technical issues on base Xbox One consoles, but it’s still a fantastic game beneath its issues. | Read review |
| New Game Network | Ben Thomas | 66 / 100 | 11-24-2019 | With an excellent droid companion and entertaining lightsaber combat, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order could have been a truly forceful addition to the franchise. However, navigation problems and unnatural level design takes it back down a darker path. | Read review |
| Nexus | Robert de Wit | 9 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order delivers a magnificent Star Wars experience that lives up to so many expectations, and then some. The marvelous blend and execution of platforming, challenging combat, and developed characters woven into a singular adventure is simply mesmerizing. | Read review |
| Niche Gamer | Frank Streva | 7.5 / 10 | 11-07-2019 | The story is through and through a classic Star Wars tale, set within the first and second trilogies, and yet it falls short of truly being a must-buy due to its technical problems and its somewhat disappointing combat and mechanics. I simply wanted more, and a more polished game. | Read review |
| NoesPaisparaFrikis | David Valero | 8.3 / 10 | 01-16-2020 | EA has saved with note the match ball in front of him thanks to Respawn, his most fit tennis player with either Star Wars or an MMO like Apex Legends, is proving to be one of the great assets of the American publisher. The franchise born from the mind of George Lucas has something that seemed very difficult in the world of videogames not long ago: a hopeful future. Luckily the force will always be with us. | Read review |
| Noisy Pixel | Azario Lopez | 9.5 / 10 | 11-18-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the best single-player adventure that I have played in a very long time.

| NoobFeed | Adam Siddiqui | 88 / 100 | 11-17-2019 | Since the reboot of the Star Wars Battlefront series fans has been yearning for a solid Star Wars game. One not plagued with over monetization or lackluster features. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is that game. It's an exceptional and challenging adventure that does this acclaimed series justice. Small problems like recycled boss fights and lack of direction do hamper the experience. But given this is Respawn Entertainment's first attempt at an adventure game after making multiple first-person shooters show this studio can deliver more than great shooters.

| Pardis Game | Hamed MohammdPor | 8.5 / 10 | 03-02-2020 | Whether you are a fan of this series or are not familiar with the Star Wars universe, I suggest you give Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order a try. This game not only offers beautiful and memorable moments, but also makes for a fun experience for all gamers; The experience of assuming the role of a Jedi | Read review |
| PC Gamer | Tom Senior | 73 / 100 | 11-25-2019 | Technical issues marr an otherwise slick adventure. A must for Star Wars fans. | Read review |
| PC Invasion | Tim McDonald | 6 / 10 | 11-19-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order certainly tries, but as Yoda pointed out, you either do or do not. For the most part, it does -- but without the grace or precision of a full-fledged Jedi Knight. The apprentice is not yet the master. | Read review |
| PCGamesN | Richard Scott-Jones | 8 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Gameplay is rock solid from the start and only gains depth, giving a real sense of transformation into a Jedi badass. Respawn has also nailed the Star Wars universe, both good (sights, sounds, and cinematic flair) and bad (cringey dialogue and vacuous plot). | Read review |
| PCWorld | Hayden Dingman | 4 / 5 stars | 11-21-2019 | Jedi: Fallen Order borrows liberally from other games, but a strong supporting cast, clever level design, and a cute little droid companion make Respawn's Star Wars story more than the sum of its parts. | Read review |
| PlayStation LifeStyle | Blake Grundman | 8.5 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | At its core, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order feels like the bastard lovechild of the Uncharted and “Souls” franchises, raised by George Lucas as one of his own. The overall experience could’ve easily stood on its own merits as an entirely new action-packed adventure IP, featuring combat and exploration mechanics that meld together seamlessly. | Read review |
| PlayStation Universe | John-Paul Jones | 9 / 10 | 11-21-2019 | A thrilling marriage of Uncharted, Dark Souls and Metroid, a few technical hiccups aren't nearly enough to derail the best Star Wars game in years. Rewarded, your patience has been. | Read review |
| Polygon | Ben Kuchera | Recommended | 11-15-2019 | Jedi: Fallen Order is a flawed, sometimes messy game, but it’s a Star Wars experience I didn’t know I wanted. And after finishing it, I definitely want more. | Read review |
| Post Arcade (National Post) | Chad Sapieha | 7 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Respawn's first take on that galaxy far, far away could have used a little more gestation before being unleashed on players | Read review |
| PowerUp! | James Wood | 6 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | There are pockets of joy and engagement in Fallen Order, but ultimately it feels like a game developed a long time ago, before Star Wars moved on to brighter galaxies far, far away from this. | Read review |
| Press Start | James Berich | 9 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the Star Wars game fans have been waiting for. It brings together a strong story, addictive combat and an earnest dedication to recreating that Star Wars magic to offer one of the best Star Wars games in over a decade. It’s an experience that any Star Wars fan can’t afford to miss. | Read review |
| PSX Brasil | Ivan Nikolai Barkow Castilho | 85 / 100 | 11-24-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is an excellent action-adventure game, perfectly blending elements from Metroid Prime, Dark Souls, Uncharted and Prince of Persia. The downsides are the uninteresting plot and the technical problems. | Read review |
| Push Square | Liam Croft | 8 / 10 | 11-18-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is one of the very best games of 2019. Its engaging gameplay loops may have been lifted from other titles, but it's during combat where the game really shines with enjoyable lightsaber duels and numerous abilities that keep things fresh. Backed by a narrative that will bring delight to the Star Wars faithful, its wonderful main plot and referential nature makes the title an essential playthrough for anyone in tune with the force. | Read review |
| Rapid Reviews UK | Chloe Osborn | 4.5 / 5 stars | 12-14-2019 | Being born on the fourth of May, I think it would be criminal to not be a Star Wars fan. Luckily, I am, and I’m pleased to say that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was no exception. Playing as Cal Kestis, a Jedi Padawan who is one of the last of his kind, you will visit stunning vistas, uncover secrets and take part in adrenaline-rushing lightsaber battles all to keep the Empire at bay. | Read review |
| Rectify Gaming | Dave Rodriguez | 8.2 / 10 | 12-02-2019 | Respawn delivers a good campaign with a great Star Wars story in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. | Read review |
| Reloading BR | Felipe Mesquita | 8 / 10 | 11-27-2019 | It is curious that this game clearly understands the strong aspects of the property on which it is based on, and in that spectrum it delivers a lot of personality, offering one of the best Star Wars adventures to date, but when it comes to gameplay and game design aspects, it has trouble deciding what it wants to be. Many influences are suited for the nature of the I.P as the decision to create maps with a great focus on exploration and implement bombastic action sequences, but the combat ended up suffering from inconsistency between excellent and mediocre aspects. In summary, Jedi: Fallen Order is a good game that establishes a strong base for Respawn to continue to improve and find its own identity for this sub-series. | Read review |
| Reno Gazette-Journal | Jason Hidalgo | 8.5 / 10 | 01-03-2020 | Fallen Order is exactly the kind of game that the Star Wars gaming community needed after Battlefront 2. You have a game centered around you playing as a Jedi, exploring as a Jedi and fighting as a Jedi. It’s something that feels like a no-brainer but somehow got lost in the shuffle somewhere. Throw in the fun combat, solid narrative and nice production values and it seems that the Star Wars gaming franchise just might have a new hope. | Read review |
| Rock, Paper, Shotgun | Brendan Caldwell | Recommended | 11-19-2019 | Its saving virtue is that it is a right biggo, a thoughtless blast of blockbuster ‘splosions, a popcorn game, the grand kahuna you can point to when some bore starts burping on about how single player is dead | Read review |
| Rocket Chainsaw | Joseph Rositano | 4 / 5 stars | 12-15-2019 | Despite some technical issues Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a great game for Star Wars fans. | Read review |
| Saudi Gamer | عبدالرحمن بعيون | 9 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Whether you are a fan of Star Wars movies or not, you will enjoy your time with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order with its fun gameplay and interesting story. | Read review |
| Screen Rant | Mansoor Mithaiwala | 3 / 5 stars | 11-27-2019 | Respawn Entertainment's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a great Star Wars game, but once players move past the story, they'll find a mediocre game. | Read review |
| SECTOR.sk | Matúš Štrba | 8 / 10 | 11-20-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Falen Order is a good mixture of many successful games. There are some technical issues, and the story isn't as captivating as you hoped. | Read review |
| Shacknews | Sam Chandler | 7 / 10 | 11-14-2019 | While Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has some exciting combat and moments of genuinely interesting storytelling and acting, it just falls short of hitting the mark. It borrows heavily from several genres without actually adding anything new to the conversation. That’s not to say it’s bad, it just didn’t leave me wanting to revisit this galaxy. | Read review |
| Sirus Gaming | Lexuzze Tablante | 9.5 / 10 | 11-20-2019 | Jedi: Fallen Order wasn’t dull or lackluster, there were big surprises that pushed me back from my seat, tons of memorable moments, the combat was definitely fulfilling, and it stayed loyal to its source material. While it’s not a technical marvel, I’ve never had this level of fun in any video game this year and I’m certainly glad that Respawn Entertainment delivered one of the greatest Star Wars games in history. | Read review |
| Skill Up | Ralph Panebianco | Recommended | 11-30-2019 | In an era where Star Wars fandom is deeply divided, Jedi Fallen Order feels important for its unifying quality. | Read review |
| Slant Magazine | Justin Clark | 4 / 5 stars | 11-26-2019 | Fallen Order is powerful in ways that Star Wars hasn't been in video game form in over a decade. | Read review |
| Softpedia | Cosmin Vasile | 9 / 10 | 11-25-2019 | Lastly, I have to mention the name, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. To me, it sounds like Star Wars Jedi could be a new line of games, with Fallen Order being just the first one. We can only dream. | Read review |
| SomHráč.sk | Martin Černický | 90 / 100 | 11-20-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a dream come true and the best Star Wars game of this decade. Even if that, because of the weak competition, doesn't mean much, Respawn Entertainment's title can hold its own against the very best games from the Star Wars universe. | Read review |
| SpazioGames | Domenico Musicò | 8.8 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is indubitably one of the best Star Wars Games. Under the guide of Stig Asmussen, Respawn has created a solid action-adventure game and an exciting original story that fits perfectly in the series universe. | Read review |
| Stevivor | Ben Salter | 9 / 10 | 11-16-2019 | On their own, none of these elements are going to win awards and are all done better elsewhere, but as a package they form something exciting — much like the Star Wars films. | Read review |
| Telegraph | Tom Hoggins | 3 / 5 stars | 11-28-2019 | There is nothing new or radical here. But as comforting popcorn gaming to indulge in while you wait for your trip to the pictures? Job done. | Read review |

| The Digital Fix | Lloyd Coombes | 8 / 10 | 11-22-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a beautiful monster, with the best bits of multiple games stapled together to make a fun, if occasionally frustrating, action game in the Star Wars universe. | Read review |
| The Games Machine | Daniele Dolce | 9 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order hits the target by offering the right mix of adrenaline-pumping action and thoughtful exploration. The metroidvania mechanics are grafted to perfection within the game formula, and the same can be said for those borrowed from the latest productions of From Software. Without introducing anything really new, Respawn Entertainment manages to merge all these elements and give birth to a fascinating and satisfying experience, as well as being consistent with the Star Wars ecosystem (much more than the last movies). | Read review |
| TheSixthAxis | Jim Hargreaves | 8 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is exactly the kind of single player game we had originally hoped to see when EA and Disney joined forces. Even if you strip away the license, you're left with a super satisfying mix or combat, story, and exploration, deftly crafted by a studio best known for spearheading an entirely different genre. | Read review |
| Too Much Gaming | Unknown | 7 / 10 | 12-11-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order may not be the droid that we're looking for, it's still a fun romp through the cosmos, providing a decent story with some strong moments that will tickle the most sensitive midichlorians inside you. | Read review |
| TrueAchievements | Sam Quirke | 4 / 5 stars | 11-26-2019 | There's some significant problems, for sure – especially in level design and signposting – but we're confident that the developers could easily evolve beyond these hiccups in the future. The Star Wars gaming universe is in pretty safe hands with Respawn – provided EA keep giving the studio enough opportunities. | Read review |
| TrueGaming | Unknown | 9 / 10 | 11-15-2019 | Jedi Fallen Order packs the elements we know and love from Action/Adventure games that is presented very elegantly, not to mention its fantastic cinematics, which without a doubt, had us living one of the best game experiences this year. | Read review |
| Twinfinite | Chris Jecks | 4 / 5 stars | 11-15-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the Star Wars game that fans have been crying out for years now. While it doesn’t do anything new, its clear inspirations from Dark Souls and Tomb Raider have helped to create an epic, sprawling adventure that’ll have you ready for more the moments the credits roll. | Read review |
| Unboxholics | Γιάννης Φανίδης | Recommended | 11-20-2019 | Respawn delivered an excellent single player Star Wars game, 100% loyal to the beloved franchise with an amazing story, a great finale, addictive fights and robust gameplay based on exploration and platforming. Only the technical flaws hold it back from being a true masterpiece. | Read review |
| USgamer | Kat Bailey | 3.5 / 5 stars | 11-15-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order comes painfully close to being the best action game of the year, but it ultimately falls short due to pacing problems and a host of technical issues. Still, this is the first step into a larger world for a franchise that has persistently struggled since its acquisition by EA. | Read review |
| VG247 | Sherif Saed | 4FALSE | 11-20-2019 | It’s worth experiencing by Star Wars fans hungry for an original story that doesn’t settle for trite, and action game players looking for a decent – albeit flawed – combat. | Read review |
| VGChartz | Jacob James | 6 / 10 | 11-23-2019 | While wielding a lightsaber is immediately gratifying on a base level, the rest of the experience is hot and cold. | Read review |
| Video Chums | Trey Griffeth | 7.8 / 10 | 12-19-2019 | In the end, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order ultimately lacks a sense of identity and that's what holds it back from being one of the greats. | Read review |
| VideoGamer | Joshua Wise | 8 / 10 | 11-21-2019 | Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has a string of wisely chosen influences, and it delivers on the long-overdue promise of a fun Jedi action-adventure. Bugs and design wrinkles irritate. | Read review |
| Wccftech | Francesco De Meo | 9 / 10 | 11-23-2019 | Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order is yet another excellent game developed by Respawn. With its excellent story, charming characters, engaging platforming and combat mechanics, the game is a must-buy for any self-respecting Star Wars fan, despite a lack of innovation which doesn't truly harm the experience as a whole. | Read review |
| We Got This Covered | David Morgan | 4 / 5 stars | 11-25-2019 | The Star Wars spirit is strong with Fallen Order, and it came as close to making me feel the way I did when watching the original trilogy for the first time. However, unlike those movies, this one could use some post-release touch-ups. | Read review |
