Loved how they've leaned more into the metroidvania influence for the sequel. Liking the balance between puzzles and combat as well.
Its strange you say that. I enjoyed Fallen Order far more because it was a true Metroidvania, whereas Survivor felt much less like a Metroidvania to me, incorporating many more open world elements and collectables and felt much more bloated for it.
Survivior is still a decent game, I just preferred massively the first one.

Each planet is basically a new area of a metroidvania.

Really ramping up now, the level finding and killing Dagan felt epic. Then straight after with that betrayal, reveal and attack on the archive is great. And to top it all off Darth Vader appears. Always have a Geek out when he appears, never loses its appeal. |

It seemed fairly obvious that this was cross generational but they only just got it working on the new machines and PC so shat it out as was and hoped nobody would care.
A far cry from their origins on CoD with solid 60fps.
They’ve fallen quite a distance from Titanfall 2. :-(

I gave up on this a month or two ago after two consecutive sessions that ended with a crash to desktop. Gave it another try just now and it did exactly the same. Is this supposed to be fixed?

I don't believe so. They'd rather the devs work on the last gen versions instead. AAA gaming in a nutshell.

I played it on PS5 shinies mode and had no issues whatsoever. Very smooth experience. Think I was lucky.

Didn't even bother checking, wanted the shinies.

Ffs, just found a post on Reddit that says turn off RT on Jeddah, which is exactly where it’s happening for me.

Disabling RT fixed it. PC gaming, full of problems that are just one random forum post away from being solved.

Man, when this thing is firing on all cylinders it’s quite something. Besides all the shiny gfx I really like the level design, and I seem to have gotten over that hump where I was running away from combat to actually seeking it out. But yeah, turning on RT on Jedha almost instantly crashes the game for me.

Good to see they are still working on this one. This will probably be a Game Pass game for me though, whenever it appears on there. Shame the technical side really mired this game, as I really enjoyed the first. It was a solid 7 to 8 out of 10 game and sounds like this is a slight improvement on it, gameplay-wise.

Oooh nice. The trusty old backlog can have positive sides too sometimes...
... Or I could've just waited for it to turn up on game pass like a sensible person.

Is this *Significantly* better than Fallen Order? Because after a while I can't wait for it to be over (FO), the jank is angrying up my blood and it seems to revel in amping up all of the worst elements of Metroidvania Soulslikes.
Plus those slidey sections can fuck right off and if you're going to try Prince of Persia/AC style environment traversal it needs to feel cool as fuck and control as smooth as butter.
Annoyingly, it seems like it would be really good with some proper tweaks

Tried the patch on Series X. Fortunately my save is right as you walk out on that hill in Koboh just before you walk down to the huge hub/town area, basically where performance utterly shit the bed previously.
It no longer shits the bed (maybe a frame or two dropped here and there), at least from what I've played.
Water reflections look like complete arse now mind you (even by normal SSR standards), in fact they look semi broken to me.
Can't believe it took them this long to decide that ray tracing in a performance mode was probably a bad idea.

The PS5 vrr patch has made a big difference in performance mode. . Zero screen tearing now . Not tried the quality mode but that is supposedly a bit smoother . Shame it's taken so long though.

Any tips for the final boss? I think I got 7 stims but he kills me every time in the 4th bit of the fight. Guides say there’s some QTE’s which I haven’t even seen yet, so I feel I’m still far away from actually beating him.

I think I played on easiest or next to easiest, no shame just enjoy the brilliant ride. |

Decided to get this out of the way before Spider-Man 2 comes out. It seems OK so far, but hasn't fully clicked with me yet.
The intro didn't really sell the combat to me, and I was still struggling with parry and dodge timing by the time I got to the first proper boss. I had a sudden PTSD flashback to a similar fight in the original game that caused me to drop the difficulty down to the easiest. God that game had some horrible difficulty spikes!
Gotta love that super metroid tribute on the first planet!
Performance mode seems decent so far, which was my main concern.

So is this OK on consoles but shit on PC?

Aye, seems to be the gist of it. It had a worthless performance mode on consoles at launch too, but at least that's been patched now.
PC version is still a hot mess.

That seems to be the MO for pretty much every AAA PC release.

Started this last night, looks bloody lovely on PS5, no issues at all after a few hours playing. Loved Fallen Order, so am happy to finally be playing this, no complaints so far.

Performance mode is very nice now they have ditched the Ray Tracing. Game looks great and runs at a pretty much locked 60fps. They really need to stop chasing those extra shinies if it means piss poor performance.
I am looking forward to a 2nd playthrough, one which wont have the framerate chugging all over the place like my 1st.
