The unresponsiveness of the combat system is frustrating. The game isn't open world, it's linear and not very challenging. The game just puts obstacles in your way that are more about slowing down your progress through the game than actually challenging the player. It is a Star Wars game, however, so it's great to be in that world and explore new stories but that's just not enough. I invested 17 hours into this game before uninstalling to use my disk space for better games, I reached a certain point in the game where the boss I was facing was just unbeatable. Everything I had learned an mastered up to that point was useless because the bosses play by their own rules, they have unblockable attacks and you don't, they have unlimited Force and you don't, they can break your attack chains but you can't break theirs. When the challenge is too great people get frustrated and lose interest, when the challenge is too easy people get bored and lose interest. This game does not find the middle ground at any point. I expected more but it seems EA is unable to deliver a truly groundbreaking SW game. I look forward to the day when I can immerse myself in a large open world RPG set in the SW universe that utilises the power of modern game engines.
