I like this a lot, its playing well for me on my 3080/i9 system aside from frame hitching when going into new areas for a small amount of time. I liked the first game a lot and this is a good sequel so far.
23 hours in and I'm loving this game, this is more Star Wars than "Star Wars" of recent years. The combat is great and at master difficulty is pitched perfectly as just about the challenge I like. I did wonder how they were going to integrate and expand upon the force powers you'd clearly learnt from the last game, they have done a nice job of doing this while making it feel you have to "relearn" the basics. The different light sabre stances are a good addition too for some variety in the combat.
Exploration is a also nicely expanded now the move into much bigger areas in a sort of Open World way. The puzzles are fair and satisfying also.
There is a lot that needs to be done on the technical level but the game is amazingly good underneath it all with that "star wars" feeling to it, has great voice acting and the story so far has me gripped. I can't ask for much more than that and think the overly negative reviews on various games "journo" sites are pretty unfair.
I should mention that in 23 hours of playing I've had one crash to desktop. Certainly a lot less than many other games that the typical "games journo" seems to give a pass to.
