The game play was a lot of fun. While playing this game I could not help but feel a bit nostalgically reminded of bits and pieces from Jedi Academy.
I really enjoyed the character development and the NPCs that you meet along the way. The journey that the main character had to go through was portrayed in a relatable and personal way.
It didn't feel like a grind trying to look for hidden items. I wasn't trying to explore 100% of all the planets but found myself naturally exploring just because it was such a beautiful portrayal of the Star Wars universe.
Engaging with the Star Wars content (movies, cartoon series, novels, and comic books, etc.) I would often wonder what it would be like if I was the main character in that story arc. This game allowed me to experience the Star Wars universe in a similar adventure. In other words, if you like Star Wars you're in for some adventure that you've been wishing for.
I did wish there was a way to fast travel between checkpoints.
