One might be forgiven for declaring that this is where the fun begins, or insisting that this is podracing. (Image credit: Respawn Entertainment) Our Jedi: Survivor preview left us with a new hopeĪfter a four hour hands-on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor preview, we're feeling optimistic about Cal's second outing. Hopefully, it's something that can be ironed out. As of the the review's writing, the game regularly dives into unacceptable framerates, joining the legion of recent PC ports with rough optimization.

Combat enjoys an expanded toolkit and enemy roster, while Respawn has improved on the slog of the first game's platforming by hearkening back to the jungle-gym scampering of PS2-era greats.

Beyond that, we get a quick shot of his ship the Mantis crashed on a desert planet, Cal crossing sabers with a hooded Sith, and a mysterious figure in an abandoned bacta tank.
