Metroidvania exploration is tops - the map is great, and fast travel is surprisingly (to me) welcome. The open world is intimidatingly large, but I'm enjoying it.
The visuals are blowing my stupid eyes off. Just a fantastic visual experience.
Battle Droids are so much fun. A proper Clone Wars game wouldn't go amiss.
The Rancor fight wrecked me for half an hour solid. The number of insta-kills that thing inflicted on me while I figured out how to fight it (and then gave up and googled strategies
) doesn't bear thinking about. It was frustrating, but, it's a Rancor, so, how mad can I really be? I guess kinda mad. I would have liked for the bone in mouth thing to work more than the one time, or at least for it to convincingly swat it away.
High Republic content in the visual media formats is what I'm living for. More, I say! More!
Ninth Sister showing up in the opening chapter took me by surprise, and then ending her! Holy gooseberry fool. What an opener.
Customization is much better now, but I'm lacking in ponchos. Hope I find one soon. Jackets and other outfits are really cool, though. The facial hair options so far all look weird, but the full beard suits Cal well. I like that an array of lightsaber customization options are quickly made available, they felt slow in coming in the first game.
Cameron Monaghan is a great actor and we are blessed to have him in this game. I really want Cal to survive these games and make the leap into live action, and soon.
The combat has been kicking my arse somewhat, but I'm leveling up and getting better. I'm doing the dual lightsaber and split sabers for my stances so far, which seems effective.
Seed pods!
