Star Wars™: Jedi Knight™ II - Jedi Outcast™

I'm not sure where the fun lightsaber combat game is. Apparently its's hidden behind an incredibly mediocre FPS game with bad aiming like the hero Kyle is a cross eyed drunk with bad vision who lost his glasses. That with the very odd enemy behavior to run right towards you, because it knows you can't hit him with anyu vague accuracy at all makes playing this incredibly frustrating. This has aged very poorly, and like 90% of the GoG catalogue, is a mess top to bottom.

That's it, I've absolutely had it with this pile of crap. This is late 90s/early 2000s game design at its absolute worst. I picked this up at the 4th of May sale, since it looked fun, after I'd checked how long it usually took people to finish it - "oh cool, 12-15 hours, perfect for a fun FPS experience set in the SW universe". Jesus, was I wrong. Now, first off, this is an FPS platformer, more or less, considering a very sizeable portion of the game depends on it. You'll slide off edges into the abyss easily, considering Kyle moves somewhat erratically, and the fact that the jumps you'll have to make are usually very tight will lead you to insane amounts of frustration. You know how it goes - miss a jump, oh well, quickload - miss two dozen more jumps, smash the keyboard, make the jump after a dozen more tries. Lightsaber combat is absolutely terrible. Even when using the light, fast style, it feels slow and tedious and I got zero satisfaction out of it, feels like you're slicing air all of the time - compared to SW: KotOR 1 and 2 which are RTWP RPGs, for god's sake, and managed to make the combat more satisfying. You'll encounter dark jedi throughout the story and, naturally, you'll want to duel them with a lightsaber - except for some reason, it happened on quite a lot of occasions that they managed to down my shield and a large portion of my health with a single blow (playing on normal). I don't know if this is a bug or what, but that's just absolutely ridiculous. As for firearms, I didn't bother with them much, save for tougher enemies where I'd opt for the chunkier weapons - which are the only ones that feel good, others have crap projectile velocity. Oh, and you can't move with a zoomed in sniper rifle. :) The overall map design is just plain idiotic, I mean, look at this screenshot - https://prnt.sc/sid9kx. Enemy and trap placement is absolutely ridiculous and is the main reason I'm quitting the game after the Galak fight, which was the final straw.
