They don't make them like they used to
I was pretty young when Jedi Academy came out, and didn't play it for a few years until after its release at a friend's house. I remember having the time of our lives playing multiplayer, but I never stuck around to buying the game. Fast forward more than a decade and I've gotten a seasoned taste of video gaming, but mostly on modern games. So when I saw this thing for sale, I knew this would be my one purchase of the month. Jedi Academy is an absolute JOY to play. To those who played games of the earlier days, the controls and momentum of movement should make you feel at home. Born of the Quake 3 engine, the movement is slick, the shooting is excellent, and the devs did some straight witchcraft with their lightsaber system. No other game has as interesting or rapid a combat melee system. You're on GoG, so you're not here for the graphics (which still have better faces look better than Oblivion) but they're definitely passable; textures aren't too muddy and the lightsabers and guns look great. Textures are more visibly weak on open levels, but are made up with set piece meshes. Now, I haven't played most newer Star Wars games but when I say they don't make them like they used to, I meant gaming in general. Remember when you could get crushed by objects that compressed you? Remember when you could use your force grip and use it to slam enemies into the ground or other enemies and actually kill them? Thank the Quake Three engine. You don't see this kind of thing in newer games unless it's a scripted gimmick that advertisers and devs rave about. Meanwhile you can send enemies absolutely flying by doing any combination of abilities using the force without a tutorial telling you. The game's a touch easy once you learn the force powers and how they work and while the campaign is very fun, it's very easy to burn through it after the first playthrough. None the less, Jedi Academy is one of the most fun games I've had the pleasure of playing. Buy it!
