Good, but the worst in the series
Jedi Outcast, by its own, is still a great game, but my problem is that I can't possibly rate this higher because Jedi Academy is vastly superior. Though in many ways Jedi Outcast improves on Jedi Knight, in particular lightsaber combat, but in more it actually goes back a couple steps! Atrocious pacing, worse puzzles, worse level design overall, the progression system has been massively dumbed down and the story is kind off weak compared to the epic and immersive experience you get in Jedi Knight. Academy, which everyone agrees has the more polished lightsaber combat, adding more saber types, always gets a bad rep for its story but I think Outcast's story is worse. If they killed Jan it maybe would matter, but because it turns out she is alive after all and Desann really isn't that interesting as a villian. Jedi Academy's story isn't as immersive or important as Jedi Knight's, but the contextualisation works surprisingly well (the Imperial Remnant actually feels like an Imperial remnant and the cult actually feels like a guerrilla threat, justifying the great variety of locations!) and, like in Jedi Knight, force alignment matters and important characters can die. But even on its own, Jedi Outcast levels are frustrating mazes with the solutions being anything but satisfying to find out. Outcast has this constant muddy gray tone that becomes grading quickly and further exacerbates the lack of variety and awful pacing. Jedi Oucast is to Jedi Academy what American McGee's Alice is to Alice Madness Returns: The levels drag on for far too long and half of it you spend on Imperial installations. In addition, ALL the Nar Shadaa levels are atrocious. I originally wanted to call it the second worst, but despite MotS's frustrating final levels (they are a great change of pace and style though, fitting the theme of the title!), I still had WAY more fun with it.
