4:00 is why Jedi Fallen Order was such a big hit, it treated everyone in the game like it was their first time in Star Wars, but it also had the depth for any long time fan too. Such an amazing series and looking forward to the next game.

[@MrHuck]

I enjoy this story more then the new trilogy honestly. Can’t wait for this one. Finished Fallen Order on Xbox and now it’s the free monthly game for PS plus so working through a replay.

[@thesprawl2361]

The reason I loved it is that it kept empowering you and handing you new moves that changed the way you play, and it did that all the way through the game. Compare that with GOW Ragnarok, which doesn't even give you another weapon, just leaves you with the same tools from the previous game, and simply hands out loot over and over again which just ups your stats. It does give you more moves, true, but they don't make you _feel_ empowered like the new moves you can unlock in Fallen Order did, and this obsession devs have with perks that up your stats a little bit is infuriating. Even if you love Ragnarok(and it's a really good game) tell me which of these unlockable upgrades sounds more appealing: a. an upgrade that reduces your cooldown by 0.5 seconds, or b. an upgrade that lets you stop blaster bolts in midair, and hold them there with the POWER OF YOUR MIND? Lol, that's why I love games like Fallen Order and Control, and it's why I hate games like The Division, Gotham Knights, Borderlands, etc.. Meaningless, tiny stat upgrades ARE NOT FUN. Please get this through your heads developers.
