So I preordered this game the moment it was available to order, and I have to say, I loved this game. I played it the first day it came out. (Yes I had issues installing it, I had to uninstall steam and reinstall it just to get it working) HOWEVER, the story is fantastic. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The story was phenomenal, the platforming mechanics were really fun, lots of new additions added to the already existing mechanics of the first game. The exploration is really fun cause you can just go around seeing different areas of the planets that you haven't seen yet. I personally play a game a couple times if I have not found everything in my first run through. Usually I’ll focus on story my first time, keeping the combat difficulty at an easier level, and when I play again, I usually up the combat difficulty. Speaking of combat, the combat is excellent. A variety of enemies to fight, lots of cool combat mechanics (and signature Cal Kestis finishers) to see. Customization was spectacular with so many options for Cal, BD-1, your lightsaber, and blaster.
One thing I do have to say is that I wish we could have customized the mantis again because I just do not like the original blue color it has on it. That is just me though.
Overall I would say this is definitely a game you should check out if you are a Star Wars fan.
