There has always been something to be said about single-player experiences - most players just seem to prefer a strong single-player game to full-on multiplayer games. EA, LucasArts and Respawn Entertainment have now come out of the woodwork regarding the latest Star Wars release in the form of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen order, and it seems the game is shipping in no small amounts worldwide. The partners announced that this game has cemented itself as the fastest-selling digital launch for a Star Wars game in its first two weeks. And concurrently, EA has said this is the fastest selling PC-game for the company (in all distribution formats) in these same two weeks.

Of course, one needs to remember that fastest, highest-selling doesn't automatically make the game the most grossing Star Wars release. It's likely that Star Wars games with a more multiplayer-focused DNA (such as Battlefront I and Battlefront II from DICE) will gross more in their lifetime than Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order ever will. That said, it goes to show what an original storytelling experience set in a beloved franchise can achieve. Read on after the break for the comments from all developing parties.
 
Congrats to Respawn who seems to have done well with this game's development.

    It's an alright game... There are better souls-like games out there for sure. There are other Star Wars games that I have been interested in playing more than this game too... Ultimately, this game is a bit boring for me. It doesn't take enough risks and doesn't really draw me in for any reason. I had more fun with Code Vein and Remnant this year.

    Sort of odd considering what the game actually is as far as gameplay. It's just a map puzzle game where you have to jump around. Not even very Star Wars imho.

    Never played any of the past Star Wars games, I've enjoyed this one being a single player and you just can't beat the lightsaber action.
     
    My only gripe is length of gameplay.

    See, that's it for me, the game fails as both a Star Wars game and a souls-like game. I feel like they got stuck in-between committing to either. In the end, because of not taking any risks the game is pretty bland and almost boring.

    I was a bit worried for it when they didn't do any early reviews and didn't put it up on early access but it really turned out to be very good. I wouldn't say it is bland and boring but I would say it could use a better use of force powers.

    I have not played it yet, but it looks to me like a new force unleashed. Is this accurate?

    I think it is getting decent reviews because everyone has been so starved for  Single Player storylines in the STAR WARS universe , that anything even mediocre is better than nothing.
