That Star Destroyer...

You play as Galen Marek (a.k.a. Starkiller) who is Darth Vader's secret apprentice. You do thy master biddings and you kinda start the Rebel Alliance but honestly the story isn't exactly riveting and also now after the Disney™ acquirement it's not even cannon. But it's not much of shame because it was a pretty stupid story and Andor told kinda the origin of the Rebel Alliance way better. Anyway gameplay wise you play in a third person perspective and you basically jump around and are a human wrecking ball. After you've gain some level ups you are nigh unstoppable. So the game delivers as a power fantasy that is for sure. But the port to PC is kinda crap, as was the style at the time (insert grandpa Simpson here). The game is locked to 30 FPS but you can fix that but the game might be slightly unstable if you do so. So yeah the PC port is a bit janky. It has a really awful (and stupid) segment where you are dragging a Star Destroyer from orbit down to the ground with your force powers (I told you the game was delivering in a the power fantasy department) and it's not good, the whole segment. My God I hated it with passion. Especially when you have just defeated a rotten cheating boss prior to that. I would recommend playing the game with a controller, as I said it's not the best port exactly. But the game did press game technology forward during it's development so I should probably give it some slack. Anyway I would recommend this game to Star Wars-fans of course but also people who like the idea of having a lightsabers and just go to town with absolute everyone 😄 If you do play it please send me a message and tell me about how much you hated the Star Destroyer segment. Because hate leads to suffering 😈

Bad port makes the game unplayable

I saw that some users said that this game is a bad port, but I decided to give it a try because I didn't think it would be THAT bad. But it is. It runs terribly and there's no video options to fix this. You can't even use a cursor to navigate the menus! I have no problem with older looking graphics, but there's no reason the game's framerate should look like stop-motion on my beefy PC that can run The Witcher 3 at 60 fps with no problem.

Great Fun

All you need to know about this game is that you can force throw Jawa's. So satisfying.

Consolish to the bone. And it hurts.

[Mild spoilers ahead[ Since I've never played it before or even seen the game being played I was pretty curious especially that some reviews praise the game as being one of the best in the whole SW franchise. Well, that didn't go that well. First the good - the story isn't all that bad even though it's non-canon. The ending however is kinda anti-climactic. The graphics didn't age that badly considering the game age (but the real actor's models are a bit funny looking). Of course the SW music is there. The overall premise of playing "the bad guy" is interesting at first but quickly wears off as you're progressing to the good side (even if for all the bad reasons). The action is also quite entertaining at first but again - gets tedious and boring as you progress through the game. Since your only weapon is the lightsaber, the enemies are more and more resistant so it's getting several hits to kill one stormtrooper. Silly. Even more silly it gets with tougher adversaries - you pound AT-ST walker for half an hour only to split it open with one clean cut at the end. Kinda inconsistent, isn't it? And the worst part - it's a console game port and it feels and shows throughout the game. The controls are clunky - for the most of the game you're throwing stuff around and controls for that are based on a two-joystick gamepad scheme and are poorly translated to the mouse+keyboard controls. The camera is unsteady and choosing your target is not as obvious as you'd want. And controls in the 1-on-1 fights are really annoying. And of course you have those frustrating quick time events - you got your enemy to zero health but you still have to push your buttons in a specific timed sequence or you're stuck in trying to finish him off. Stupid ad hell. And of course the save system which is actually a checkpoint system. Of course it doesn't matter mucn since the game is linear and you have no choices to make (except for small level of freedok when advancing your character). Disappointing

Language pack

The game is great. Problem one, Polish is available, but I have everything in English. What did I do wrong?
