Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is Respawn Entertainment's exceptional sequel to Fallen Order — an action-adventure that expands the combat system significantly, delivers a narrative of genuine Star Wars quality, and creates one of the best open-world Metroidvania experiences in gaming. Five years after Fallen Order, Cal Kestis is a full Jedi operating in the waning years of the Empire, working with a ragtag group of allies to find a place outside the Empire's reach.
The combat system adds five lightsaber stances — Single, Double-Bladed, Dual Wield, Blaster (single blade + blaster), and Crossguard — alongside a more flexible skill tree that lets Cal develop into a truly personalized Jedi. The Metroidvania structure returns with expanded backtracking opportunities as new Force powers (Rumble, Lift, Slam) unlock previously inaccessible areas. The BD-1 droid companion's hacking abilities add traversal depth.
Koboh, the game's central planet, is one of gaming's finest Metroidvania hubs — a richly detailed frontier world with secrets, hidden areas, and the Pyloon's Saloon cantina that grows as you recruit allies throughout the campaign. The combination of Star Wars world-building and Respawn's exceptional combat design makes Survivor one of 2023's finest action games.
Single, Double-Bladed, Dual Wield, Blaster, and Crossguard stances each offer completely distinct combat approaches — the most versatile lightsaber system in any Star Wars game.
