Star Wars™: Jedi Knight™ - Jedi Academy™

I played Jedi Academy in the early 2000s on my brother's old Xbox and liked it. I now play this PC release from gog.com thru OpenJK for Linux. When using projectiles you snap into first person perspective. When brandishing a Lightsaber you go into third person perspective, which adds a real action movie feel to the melee combat. Platforming and environmental puzzles make you use your noggin. The environments have alotta variety and fit the Star Wars aesthetic. Enemies are recognizable from the original Star Wars trilogy. Multiplayer can be experienced online, thru LAN, or against some very clever bots. Abilities can be leveled up after completing missions. Missions are mostly offered nonlinear. The only weak point is the passable story. Another 6th generation goodie now cheap with no DRM!

Its not the biggest game , it's simple but it's fun and unique.

a vague title that could be contributed to just about anything. with a solid movement system and impressive animitaions that hold the test of time and interesting slow motion combo's and attacks with lightsaber wielders, the only thing holding it back is the jank of the attacks that dont connect paired with the general flailling of melee combat at times and the feeling of having soap on my shoes. the cool moments here and there, the solid storyline with fun cutscenes, and playing with force powers is enough for me but user enjoyment as always will vary. also just nice to see luke after the movies very rare

The game is enjoyable. There is variety of weapons. Game doesn't force You to use any specific playstyle. If you like you can fight with only light saber, if you don't you can use pistols or force. Enemies are quite stupid, but still is funny to kill them. Missions are unexpectedly diverse (simple but diverse).
