If you are playing on PC bear in mind that the key mapping settings are on par with Red Dead 2. You simply can't map certain keys on both mouse and keyboard and the entire interface is slow and clunky.
I've heard those reports too. .might be 2orth playing with Xbox controller I have on my pc if it's going to be a faff with M&K

I've tried with both KBM and an XBO controller, the XBO controller is much more intuitive.

There's even a pop up when you start the game with a KBM saying they have developed the game for a controller, whilst using a KBM is possible, it is not the optimum experience.

hehe Same actor for Grace in Wolfenstein the New Colossus but she looks a lot less like the end scene from Total Recall in that.

I’m amazed that it wasn’t noticed the eyes were a little ‘off’ during the development. Sometimes they don’t move at the same time either and I end up feeling ill rofl

I know they’re loosely based on the voice actors, and Debra Wilson has beautiful big eyes, but Cere looks like they couldn’t be arsed to fit the 125% sized eyeballs correctly.

Bought it at the weekend. Played about 3 hours so far and not really enjoying it. Xbox S and it’s stuttering and lagging badly. Controls seem awkward as well. A real shame

I’m on Xbox one X, had a couple of crashes but really enjoying it.

Feels like a Star Wars film, plays like Dark Souls.

yes

Just completed it this evening. Fantastic story smile

I hope there’ll be DLC, however I’ve read they just wanted one main story and to leave it at that frown

Finished it last night, very enjoyable overall. Wasn't quite sure what to expect with the ending given that it's not really a spoiler to say that their grand plan isn't going to come off given the wider context of the films and its placement in the timeline, but it was a satisfying end.

Out of interest, where does this game sit in the timeline?

I've been a little disappointed TBH. Feels too linear so far and I'm not gelling with the combat - keep getting animation locked which is frustrating.

Even my 10 year old who is star wars mad doesn't want to play it much.

Its done on purpose. Specific finishing moves and boses end with limbs etc being cut off but generic enemies done. Its to make amputations special / mark specific moments.

Never really been into star wars games but like the look of this.

Is it worth it if you have a standard xbox one ? Or do you need the X and a 4k tv to get the full experience

Just bought this for £22 in Curry's.

The Xbox version has been patched and it runs fine on a One S. 4K TV.

Bought this for the PS4 yesterday.

Pretty impressed - looks fabulous, and killing things with a light sabre is always going to be cool! Read a few reviews first, one of which suggested it was a mix between Last of Us and Dark Souls games. Seems a fair description - game play reminds me more of the Last of Us type games than Dark Souls, but I can see the parallels.

Only played it for a few hours yesterday - it hasn't sucked me in properly yet - but think it probably will at some point.

Recently purchased and finished the game.

My thoughts are it starts out OK, then gets boring and repetitive. I was close to giving up but pushed through. It certainly picks up again in the last 1/3rd and ends well.

Overall it's a 7/10 game. Nothing special or original but decent enough.

Curious that you say it ends well - I finished it yesterday and thought the ending was a pretty big anti-climax.

Also was much shorter than I expected. I was a bit surprised when the credits started rolling! I can't claim I explored everywhere 100% - I did continue playing and found a bit more but without any particular need, I lost interest pretty quickly.

I enjoyed it overall, but it should have been bigger / longer.
