LIFE-LIKE REACTIONS from characters and environments that are different every time you play
OK to keep this short and sweet, the gameplay is fun whenever you are not in a boss fight or in the odd normal encounter.
The main problem here is how the camera fights the controls, namely when it considers you to be locked on to a target. Sometimes the camera will refuse to consider an enemy on your screen even if it clearly is or you are facing it. The lock on matters a great deal as things like lightning, grab, and throw won't work unless the game considers an enemy highlighted or locked on. This saps a lot of fun and introduces frustration in it's stead. These issues are compounded in the boss fights where the camera is at odds with the arena.
Secondly, the game should not be played without a controller,and I don't like controllers. The controls for indicating direction for throws/pulls etc require mouse and keyboard simultaneously, which is super bloody awkward. Many times objects can be thrown in random directions oreven clearly glitch out, resulting in wasted effort and your exposure to enemy fire pointlessly.
Lastly, this is such an arcade game system. Jump through shiny powerups for rewards and buffs, which totally take you out of the other engaging combat that wants you to keep killing in order to heal.
Get it only on a deep sale or on console, and I mean DEEP. Thats the only time I'd recommend this. Not on PC from GOG.
When I saw this game on sale, I thought - man I will finally lay my hands on the one SW game I'm still missing in my collection! I couldn't be more disappointed.. Of course, some might say that there are a lot of costumes, force powers, the game is dynamic and flashy. You can even play as and fight against Darth Vader!
However this is a Star Wars game. It supposed to tell us a story. No, not a story - the Story! We should feel like a sith, or a jedi, or whatever character we are playing. Instead, what we get here is a shooter console port without guns, but with bad camera and subpar lightsaber combat. The game mechanics are really oversimplified. Quite quickly I've asked myself -what's the point of all I do? What is my Starkiller doing except flying around and killing everybody? I'm a big fan of SW saga but this time I didn't have patience to kill even the third jedi boss, which is as I believe about 1/6 of the game.
I'm giving SW:TFU only 2 stars and I'm not sure if it shouldn't be 1. Let me begin with bright sides. Not to be positive, just because there are so few:
+++++++PROS+++++++
- Star Wars game!
- You can control and throw objects!
- graphics are not so bad, even in 2017
- characters move quite well... ok, I was trying, this should be in graphics part
----------CONS-----------
1. Game mechanics!
- You can't save when you want, for example right after the boss fight, but before jumping from platform to platform - srsly, PC game,where you have to reach a checkpoint?
- Camera works a bit strange, which sometimes complicates the fight
- Camera in boss fights works really very strange! And I mean it! The whole game is TPP and suddenly it goes flat isometric just for these few times in a game
- Game menu - no mouse, you need to use additional buttons [] with arrows to navigate through menu. Was it really so hard to simplify controls for PC and add mouse control over menu?
- Jumping- as I recall, even master Yoda was unable to bounce and dash in the middle air. Really, neither jedi, nor sith in any other game jump like here.
- Bad lightsaber mechanics - JK:O and Academy have shown how realistic lightsaber combat can and should be. Especially with 'lightsaber realistic combat: on'. Here we have little control over l-s and more importantly the opponents have hitboxes... so you can't just cut off somebody arm and hear his screams. Pity ;)
2. Game design:
- a lightsaber held backwards, like Ashoka in Clone Wars series- why?!
- a story wasn't really interesting. This is Star Wars and I was expecting something groundshaking
- a lot of jumping, which as I've mentioned earlier isn't my favourite in SW:TFU
- a lot of places,where you should clearly be able to jump, but you can't because... they are designed to block your jump :)
- boss and some enemies fights, where you don't really know what are you expected to do except rapid pressing of LMB
-forced on players finishing blows cutscenes, taken straight from console - press 'E' quickly! now press 'Q' quickly! Good work, you defeated the boss! There is no workaround,no way to turn this 'feature' off(like in the 'withcher') and some people (like me) would really prefer to kill enemies in traditional way
This game is awful. Fighting mechanics are clumsy mess. Story is a travesty. Graphics worse than in KotOR. The only good point - physics, but it's completely useless. If we take Jedi Academy as a paragon of Star Wars slasher games, TFU is not a bit better than heroes mode in Battlefront 2017. But it doesn't offer shooting alternative.
I run this on an intel i7 with windows 10 and a GTX 550. It likes to crash a lot with no warning poof hello desktop. Sandy Bridge i7 so no excuses for it not being compatible. Shame too it's a decent game when it works. I doubt even the recommended system requirements would run it any better. Since the ones I mentioned are above it. Only good thing is it crash's fast haha. No hangs or black screens just desktop.
I remember playing this when I was younger. The magic is still there.
Nostalgia told me this was really cool, really good and... absolutely impossible... and it was so right — hyperbole aside.
It's a very awesome game with some awful flaws. The enemies can get very annoying, the quicktime events are grading, the objectives can get confusing sometimes and the boss fights are frustrating.
There were moments I had to be stubborn because not everything here is fun. But it is really fun when it wants to be — I loved replaying it, immersing myself in this world again, and having fun with the force to the detriment of all who stood in my way.
It really makes me wish for a Force Unleashed 3.
I beat the game dressed as C3PO due to a boss fight glitch. "Play dress up to go back in time" is a force power I never imagined to wield.
