Star Wars Jedi: Survivor - Review After 100% 

I'm now convinced that you never sleep. You have to be some type of mythical creature that only gets stronger with each 100% finished.

you are insane man, the time you put to not only play the games, but 100% them is incredible. Love your content

New idea. For problematic launch-states like this, make a 'one year later' video. Some of us would probably appreciate to know the game is safe, or isn't. It's probably more journalism than playing, but very helpful regardless. Same for knowing when there are particular companies regularly being guilty of half-assing it.

Does completing the game unlock 60FPS mode?

It's unforgivable that a big budget game like this, from a huge publisher like EA, is released in such a poor state. I just saw Digital Foundry's breakdown of the performance, and I just don't get how this can be (basically) the norm nowadays. Paying 70 dollars for this is insane. That raised prise should all but guarantee games to be released in perfect condition.

Hes a man of focus, committment and sheer will..

Ooh I honestly wasn’t expecting you to cover this one. Thankfully I’ve heard it’s a good friendly game for completionists. Kudos to you for getting this out so swiftly after release!

Best review ive heard so far out of the 10 others i listened to. Especially the depth in your pros and cons. Subscribed.

They spent more time on the DRM than they did making the game run well. Wonderful! *Edit* I have been cheated out of a heart emoji from Mortismal 😭

Just found you and I love your dedication and style. Keep doing what you're doing, man!

Dude, your reviews are fantastic.

Now this is what a review ideally should be. Game completed and time to really know all the ends and outs of the game. Well done. This is better than any mainstream games journalist could hope to do

I'm glad to hear that it has a way to help you find missing collectibles this time around instead of having to rely on youtube videos

My experience with this game has been fantastic. I think the game itself is amazing and I honestly haven’t had any problems. I’ve never had it crash or anything. I’m sorry for everyone who has had trouble because it really is an incredible game

I really enjoy your content. It’s very clear you’re an enthusiastic gamer and really get into it, especially with your passion for RPGS. I hope you find great success.

Thanks for the review. This was monumentally better than the ones by other channels. I now question whether or not they even played the title. Onward to 200k. All glory to the algorithm.

I really liked this game in spite of the technical issues. The story really went to an interesting place and it was surprisingly dark, even compared to the immediate predecessor. The Bacta boy would be my one narrative gripe…he needed more personality as I found he was vastly overshadowed by his second in command, who had much less screen time. The gameplay itself needed another setpiece or two. There’s a particularly big setpiece in the middle of the game that had me smiling like a kid opening his new Nintendo on Christmas. Another one or two of those before the final act that was setpiece after setpiece would’ve been nice. The final act highly redeems any gripes I have with the first two by being an intense character drama that never speeds along too quickly like God of War Ragnarok’s final act and simultaneously never feeling too slow. I obviously can’t say too much here, but I think every character has their part to play in this story and the fact that the protagonist isn’t named “Luke Skywalker” means there’s a melancholic feel to these games’ stories because we know that they will always fail at what they do. Because of that restriction, this game doesn’t waste much time with the rebel alliance and relegates that to the five year gap between games to establish that their repeated failures have taken an intense toll on everyone. Since this story is focused on characters, the plot itself, an Indians Jones story of racing to get to a macguffin planet, takes a backseat for most of the runtime. Bacta Boy unfortunately gets shafted for this reason, despite having major lore implications from being a remnant of the High Republic. I wish the High Republic lore got a bit more focus in the story, but it wasn’t ever a deal breaker, since this is a story very focused on the characters, particularly Cal, trying to figure out what they believe in and who they are. By the time the credits rolled, I was very satisfied. I give it a 9/10. For its story. The gameplay feels great, but you can see that in the video, so I don’t have to get too much into it

Thanks for the review, Mortym. I've been waiting to hear your take for a while now.

Great analysis as always and great closing comments 👍

Great reviews bro , I don't play most of these games but I really enjoy watching reviews and you have really pleasing videos. I will wait till this game is a monthly PS game , like I did with the first one lol. Appreciate you !

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is so good, loved Fallen Order, Survivor is even better, absolutely stunning on PS5 😊

The fact you 100% is amazing! You get so many reviewers not even finishing the main storyline or even half the content. Makes their opinion feel a bit hollow and more like an impression. With your reviews I know I can trust what you say. Hell you've completed more of the games than I ever would playing normally. I really appreciate what you do.

Best review of this game I’ve seen! Honestly your negatives are exactly what I feel. Other than the performance I’ve been enjoying the game. Maybe you can start a series where you re visit games like this in a year to see if anything has improved?

I going wait 1 year… and then buy on sale if it’s fixed ;) Thx for the review and your honesty 😊

Honestly Grandmaster feels not too bad for the highest difficulty. I’m definitely dying plenty but it doesn’t feel too bad outside of a few random things one shotting you here and there.

Thanks for the review so quickly 🤙😁

100% within 48 hours post release. Including making this video. You're a machine.

I have NO idea why THIS video never popped for me from one of my most FAV (truthful and just down right honest) RU-vid channels of all time. Love this content Mort Gaming

Swiftly becoming my go to, excellent review. I’ll definitely be holding off on this until issues are fixed.

22:13 The fact that he plants his foot on the spear is pretty cool.

Just did all databanks, treasure, plants, maps all, loved this game soooo much. I did not expect the plot twist of U know who, also the fan services, epic..I waited for the lastest page and improved my gpu, it did not give me any problem

im not a fan of the isometric, like diablo rpg type games, your specialty, but you are 1 of my favorite youtubers. i really enjoy your content. thank you sir.

INCREDIBLE WORK ETHIC Mortismal that is, not EA

"Why are we doing this right now?" Best quote of the video.

It's amazing how often this game switches between looking like a fluid badass Jedi adventure to some janky Gary's Mod recreation of Force Unleashed. Like, look at the wall running. Sometimes it looks seamless, other times it looks really stupid.

I cannot believe you already have this out man you're insane

That was really fast! Thanks!

Amazing! So detailed . I’m going to hold off from buying just yet . Will wait till they have finished the game .

I started in grand master due to my constant grinding on fallen order. Had a rough time because my parry is averaging at best times. Still felt cool to 100% fallen order and continue with this game. 😊

Great review, new to the channel here, really enjoying your content! Also yeah it's sad to see yet another triple A game launching in that state. I'll wait until the Xmas sale to get it assuming most of the mentioned issues are fixed

My biggest gripes of the first one were that discoveries were largely cosmetic and didn’t actually improve your character and that exploration bits went on too long in places. Seems like they took those to the next level in this game. I suppose it’s preference, but that’s too bad. I’m sure I’ll still give it a whirl and largely enjoy it, though. Edit: Well, I tried it, and I couldn’t take it.

Great vid hun keep it up

Dude, what?! Already? You're an absolute madman.* *Said with a great deal of admiration and respect

The most annoying bug I’ve encountered was that if rebind the Special Attack key the blaster from the Blaster Stance simply doesn’t shoot. Playing on PS5, I’ve seen framedrops in some cutscenes and more severe ones around water surfaces.

I’ve been playing on Xbox series x and have no issues I’m loving it ! Good review sir!

Thanks mordem great work Sir

My biggest problem with the first game was platforming. I am not a fan of games with an overabundance of platforming. This is why I never finished the first game and will not buy this one. I also feel $70.00 for 30ish hours of gameplay is too much. Thak you for all the work you put into your videos.

I really love this review. Some reviewers will bomb the game completely only because of the technical difficulties. Others will ignore the technical difficulties and fanboy about the game. You struck the golden middle way of describing the game away from the technical difficulties and then still make your review using the whole picture. Keep going Mortismal. You rock!

I’ve been playing it all day on PS5 and minus a few minor frame rate drops in areas with lots of water, the game is fantastic.

Heyo Mortym! Thanks for another great review! Too bad about the PC performance. I play primarily on PC and it's a shame that devs can't seem to release their games on PC without lots of bugs. It seems to be getting worse, especially for AAA games.

Wow, crazy how you banged this out. FYI for you or anyone else regarding the PS5. A majority of the time it's good on performance mode. However, even on PS5 on performance mode, Jedha can be bad. Drops to 30 and below. Everywhere else fine/good. Jedha being such a central "hub" type area really hurts as well because it makes you not want to explore there. I don't know if I would even recommend on PS5, I mean you're paying a lot for a great game which is fine, but Jedha and some of the weird texture stuff is bad. It wouldn't be so bad if Jedha wasn't so central...but it is.

1 yr later and it's free thru gamepass, it is in my opinion one of the best games I've ever played! Challenging, artistic and beautifully done. The story is spot on!

I'm glad to hear its not just me who had to deal with the consistent crashing on Jedha. Been absolutely driving me up the wall especially given how far apart some checkpoints are. I'll probably turn of RT wheb I have to go there for now. What a silly mess of a release.

Wait...waitwaitwaitwait... WAIT!!! This game only came out a couple days ago... How...just how...you my friend are the gaming journo we need but do not deserve. /Salute

Damn. Already? Great job.

Thanks for the Jedha crash mention, I'm on my return to that planet and crashes are F*ing constant. I'll try to disable ray tracing when I give the game a run again tomorrow. Aside from that I've barely had any issues. Just very occasional stutters in the open world which I assume is scenery loading. Until I got to Jedha I was surprised how my experience differend from other's reports.

Knights of the Old Republic 2 is peak Star Wars gaming and you cant convince me otherwise.

For those that would love to attempt to 100% games ourselves, I would love to see an achievement guide for your games.

decided to just play in quality mode on series x after reading performance mode was subpar. honestly game feels pretty good in quality mode and looks absolutely incredible in HDR. i wouldnt want to play on highest difficulty at 30 fps as the game is pretty challenging with its combat but for normal 30 is playable for a game like this and ive noticed no drops at all. gotta say im really enjoying the game, combat can be annoying at times but the presentation is fantastic.

December was only 35$ , Best sw game ever existed this Galaxy:))

Good quality content, thank you

I guess Ill play this in a year, thanks for the info

Casual 2 day turn-around from the initial impressions is crazy

Can't wait to buy this is 5 years on sale.

I love that the trailer seemed to suggest the utapauan senator was going to be a villain but ended up dying for no reason in the prologue

Great review

Thank you for the review, sir! You're an absolute beast! Yes, quite disappointing... Was hoping to play it on the release weekend, but because of the technical difficulties, decided to postpone until i can get it on sale 6-12 month later, when everything is fixed and the game is normally playable on PC.

I like that you find his beard in a crate

I just finished this game on PS5 and it blew me away. This game has one of the more genuinely mature and adult storylines in a video game and I definitely wasn’t expecting that in a fucking stars wars game of all places lol. You are right with saying that about 2/3 of the story is ehh but that last 1/3 is amazing story wise. I do hope for a third game and hope there isn’t such a bad launch for it

Seems like a bigger with more bells version of the first game, which isnt a bad thing but tempers my expectations somewhat.

HDR is completely broken on PS5 for me. At first I thought it was a stylistic choice but a few minutes in I knew something was wrong. The picture is almost completely black with a few highlights, hard to explain. I read there was a workaround by adjusting the HDR through PS5 system settings, but I'm not doing that just to play 1 game. I'm so tired of games releasing unfinished, maybe I've finally learned my lesson on buying games Day 1.

What i did not like much, were the layout of enemies and other stuff. When enemies are at a position that makes no sense like:"Why are you there and how did you get there?". Or for example the green energy fields. Sometimes there are in a position that makes no sense. It just there for you to jump through. It kinda kills the immersion for me.

Also I saw Iron Dagger on your desktop. that game looks very interesting.

I still hate that you can’t animation cancel with all stances, makes combat feel dull and unresponsive because you decide to strike and while waiting for the animation to finish you see the enemy about to attack and just think “yeah I’m fucked” and it’s annoying. I don’t like the unresponsiveness of the first and second game and hoped it had changed

I'm really enjoying the game so far. My only issue is achievements are not working, but I can redo all that on new game plus. I guess the force is with me since I haven't had any major PC issues so far on this and the last game's launch either.

What’s interesting is I haven’t had really any issues on ps5, currently 5 hours in I’ve only had 2 issues once camera froze and the other a slight frame rate drop. Besides the reported issues the game is amazing if you like the last game it’s that but way better and gorgeous world.

I like this. Thank you

I liked the first game. Maybe I'll get this one when they finish it

Holy crap that was fast 100%!

Just completed this game on PS5, and while it was perfectly playable, I still noticed frame drops and stuttering particularly in the more open world areas. During the final encounter, the boss actually fell through the floor a couple times, forcing a reset, which was extremely frustrating. I also agree about the navigation being too obtuse at times, and I hadn't gotten stuck this much in a game since the 90's. This was compounded by button prompts not always appearing when they should have, leading to a lot of needless backtracking and time wasted. Still a very good game, but what should have been a knockout awesome experience just instead felt at times cheap and underdeveloped. This one just needed more time in the oven.

Is there a battle grid system? You unlocked it as soon you’ve completed 100% in Jedi fallen order?

This guy does not sleep at all

My friend... How are you capable of this madness?! Are you a vampire?? Lol Good video as always. All best

I watched his first impressions video this morning thinking it came out today and I just see this lmao

I'm about 25 hours in and i love it. Playing on PS5, and I'm obsessed. Hopefully they patch the PC port so more people will get to experience it.

Fantastic review! This is pretty much how I felt. I feel Survivor has gone ultra heavy on platforming at the expense of difficult bosses / enemies like fallen order. The Purge Troopers in FO were more difficult than anything I've faced halfway in Survivor. But that might be because you start off with all your previous powers and I'm now used to the combat. My other "issue" (it's more a preference) is as much as the main world's are good, Koboh feels like a discount "Lands Between." I'd swap the large size for an additional planet or two to explore. This is Star Wars, give me some galaxy hopping!

If it hasn't already been blatantly obvious before; the price increase for games these big publishers have been pushing for the last few years will not translate into better quality games; just more profits for their shareholders. I never played the first game in the series; but everytime someone claimed that EA had changed their ways because that game was actually good, I felt like smacking them upside the head.

On Series X, game has a really hard time reaching 60 FPS with performance mode on, other than that only had 1 crash.

I'd say Mortismal is an AI due to his efficiency at gaming and content creation, but his taste is too good to be programmed. So, bravo and thank you again!

Awesome review for a game with a boring Lightsaber combat (if is still similar to the previous one). Immediately installed Jedi Academy for a pallet cleanser. Still, great review dude 👍

I wonder if you are going to cover age of wonders 4 or would that be outside your wheelhouse. I love your reviews and wonder what you might think of it.

I will wishlist it and wait maybe a year for the post launch beta phase to be done.

Wish I knew how you kept it running lol I'm on a i9 13900kf, 4090, 64gb of ram 1300psu Asus z790 etc etc freeze's constantly...

I play on a 9990k and a 3070 in 3440x1440, all settings on high with balanced and no ray-tracing. With the exception of the start up logos being super laggy and the file optimization taking its time, I experienced only single, short lag issue in an early cutscene. Otherwise it has been a buttery smooth ride with lots of fun. Hopefully the issues other people experience will be fixed asap.

Glad Pathfinder WotR led me to Mort, top quality reviews

How did you beat me and 💯 you are amazing hats off. I’m running a 7900xtx 5800x3d maxed out ray tracing and it isn’t crashing and the stuffers are super minor It’s not enough to break it for me I’m a bit into Jedha

Looks great, I'll have to wait a year or two to buy it tho, unreal prices here on Brazil unfortunately, almost half a minimum salary

Kyle Katarn, Jedi Outcast & Academy... this game reminds me of them

This dude is a beast 😅👍🏼

Do you use guides to 100% these games when you get stuck, or have you been completing these games independently?
