Recommended only if you really like the first one and it's heavily discounted.

The game is locked to 30fps but can be unlocked with a 3rd party download (reccomended) but physics are tied to Framerate so things are slightly janky at 60fps. You can get the game to have no FPS cap but then its borderline unplayable and the menus are impossible to navigate. It has controller support (I used Xbox controller) but even then some of the options and menus still require to use a controller.

This game is a mess. The first one is janky as hell but this game feels unfinished. It really feels like it was 75% done and then their deadline was pushed up forcing them to release the game early. The game is very short as a result and later levels are very rushed, empty, and souless. Even the final boss fight with Darth Vader is an incredibly tedious and unfun platforming mob fest with platforming that ends with you just hitting him a bunch with your lightsaber then a QTE finisher.

The framework is good but it lacks polish and finish. The physics are good, the gameplay is fun when its not half baked. The force powers and gameplay are simplified and stronger compared to the first one making the game much easier. You start with more Force meter and it regens MUCH faster compared to the first one. Combos boil down to mashing X and then a force power like "XXXBXXX". Using force push to throw 6 storm troopers is still satisfying but the way force powers interact with a lot of enemies is unsatisfying. Some enemies require you to basically spam force lightning on them or simply shrug off all your force powers so you have to use your lightsaber, but this just leads to it being easier to grab them.

Later levels are very very empty with many sections just running through empty hallways with zero enemies or anything to do. Sometimes its just kill stormtroopers and a big droid, move a battery, walk empy hallways, rinse, repeat.

The voice acting is mediocre as before, there really isn't very many characters in the game. The dialogue is awful and feels like it wasn't completed e.g. Vader will spout cycling generic lines "I will always be your master." "I will defeat you a thousand times." to which "Starkiller" replies "I'LL KILL YOU!" and then "I WILL KILL YOU!".

The story is trash but so was the first one, the story in this is worse though because its so small, short, and unfinished.

The game has DLC but it's not accessible except through workarounds and even then all of it isn't even though the files for it are downloaded.
