Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is one of my favourite games from 2023—and it also received our pick for best adventure last year. It's leaps and bounds above Fallen Order, offering a really solid space romp that blends Sekiro-adjacent soulslike combat with a heavier lean into action-adventure. That makes it even more of a shame that it launched in a terrible state on PC.
After nose-diving to 'mostly negative' Steam reviews as a result of some understandable backlash, EA even admitted that it wasn't "performing to our standards for a percentage of PC players". The ensuing patches have helped, but that initial bombshell of an entrance was enough for plenty to get their Steam refunds in early, and I can't say I blame them. That black mark still lingers today, with overall reviews sitting at "Mixed" despite "Mostly Positive" recent score.
