This isn't just a fantastic Star Wars game, it's a fantastic game, period. It borrows exploration and combat mechanics from quite a few great games and adds some really good map design to make mastering traversal feel good. The combat has way more depth after an adjustment period and after getting a few good skills there are moments of feeling really incredible as you mow down squads of Stormtroopers and everything else they come with. You never feel flat out overpowered but if you play smart you certainly feel like a Jedi.

If you're using a Dual Shock 4 I really, really advise going into controller settings in Steam and turning off "PS4 compatibility" and "guide button focuses Steam." The game supports the DS4 natively and will give you correct button prompts (intsead of Xbox) and got rid of some annoying control hiccups that I would get from time to time. I played for about 20 hours before making these changes and I could immediately feel a difference.

I finished the game 100% on Jedi Master difficulty at about 42 hours and I am really happy with that length. There is no New Game +, which is unfortunate, and I hope that it gets added in the future. If you love Star Wars it's the best thing we've gotten in quite a while even after all the good changes to Battlefront 2. If you like adventure games it's at least a solid 20+ hours if you don't go for a 100% clear like I did. Play this game already!
