Overview
Daniel played the day-one release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, rating it at most 6.2 out of 10 due to poor technical performance and an uninspired design mirroring Jedi: Fallen Order.
The PC release suffered from severe optimization problems, stuttering, low frame rates, and disorienting camera movement on an RTX 3060 Razer Blade Pro laptop.
Combat, platforming, puzzle navigation, and map mechanics felt repetitive, with meditation spheres mimicking Elden Ring without reaching similar depth.
The storyline and villains such as the Ninth Sister resembled a juvenile Disney production, making the £60 price tag poor value.
