Despite garnering positive reviews, a lot of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor players are not so happy with how the game has turned out, primarily thanks to its PC launch.
Even after that six week delay for extra polish, the game suffers from frame rate problems even on PlayStation 5 and lacks accessibility options across the board, with EA vowing to release multiple patches in the coming weeks.
Hopefully, those patches will be sooner rather than later because players have come across some especially nasty bugs that outright threaten your progress and they’re not unique to the PC version either.
The first of these involves a fight with the mogu (basically a palette-swapped Hoth wampa), which can steal all of the hard-earned experience you have.
This may not sound unusual, since Star Wars Jedi: Survivor runs on Dark Souls logic where any unspent experience is lost when you die. However, normally, you can reclaim it by returning to the spot where you died and attacking the monster that killed you.
However, some unlucky players have found that the mogu hits so hard that the gold marker indicating where it is can drop underground and become impossible to reach, as demonstrated by Reddit user brentparz.
As bad as this is, there’s a second bug that’s much worse, though we’ve left it till now as it involves some spoilers so just a head’s up if you’ve yet to make much progress in the game.
After completing the Chamber of Duality section and riding the elevator out, you are advised to rest at the nearby meditation site. Apparently, if you die after this point, you are sent back to the chamber but cannot take the elevator, meaning you are essentially locked in.
Since Star Wars Jedi: Survivor doesn’t allow for multiple save files for a single playthrough, you can’t reload a previous save to escape the room. The only option is to start a brand new playthrough from scratch, costing you potentially hours of progress.
Reddit user Weird_Cantaloupe2757 is so outraged by this that they have asked for a refund. They also say this happened on the PlayStation 5 version, so console players are at as much of a risk as PC players.
Affectionate_Ad_1384 mentions experiencing the same problem on Xbox Series X, while Traditional-Clue-469 warns of a separate issue involving the game’s blaster.
Apparently, binding it to a button other than the default (at least on PlayStation 5) makes the blaster not work at all, so anyone who doesn’t know how to reallocate it to the original button will find themselves with a useless blaster.
All in all, it’s not a great first impression for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Its Metacritic user scores for all three versions are very low (the PC version only has a 2/10 score) and the Steam user reviews aren’t much better, with an almost even split between positive and negative ones.
It’ll be great once it works though…
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is available for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
