Never played it. I heard mixed reviews when it first came out but seems like it has been more positive as time went on.

Is it worth the $10? I don't have a ton of time yet to put into it but will have a couple weeks coming up where I can devote some time to it.

TIA

Game has plenty of flaws, but it's easily worth $10.

It's a good game. Perhaps a bit overrated because people are starved for a quality single player Star Wars experience, and it has really high production values.

I’m replaying it now. Don’t really see that many flaws other than it’s easy to get lost. It’s fun

It’s a game that pretends as though you can move freely, but actually essentially puts you on rails, which is vastly more frustrating than just being on rails. It heavily emphasizes collectibles, yet most of the collectibles are awful. Story pacing is ok, but the story itself is solid. Combat is good. Graphics are very good.

I agree with you that it’s fun, but it has significant flaws.

Yeah, great game. Some really annoying things and exploration is not rewarding, but it plays really well, mechanics are solid, and there are some great setpiece moments

Worth that price for sure. I never finished it due to some frustrations with map design but it has some great moments.

Easily worth 10. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ponchos. Ugly ponchos.

The lightsaber parts should have given bonuses. Nothing but cosmetics.

Just one big pile of ugly cosmetics. I am not sure who picked the color palette but I think they are color blind.

Gameplay is lots of fun. The game is easily worth the original price so $10 is a steal.

I just finished the game for a second time about a month ago.

There’s a lot of significant flaws. The only real redeeming aspect is the high quality cutscenes

The ONLY negative thing I found about this game was the mapping. BUT once I realized how bad it was I just stopped using it and it became more fun.

Great game can't wait for the next installment.

I kinda suck at navigation in these types of games so throw in one of the worst map designs Ive ever used made large sections of the game extremely frustrating for me. I did enjoy the combat, the characters and the story. Its worth 10.00.

Glad I'm not the only one. I enjoyed the game but the map is just awful.

The lightsaber combat and force ability use are worth $10 to just screw around with. Overall good game and story. Some flaws and frustrating parts, but if you enjoy star wars, definitely worth getting.

The levels aren't that big so I just ran through the whole thing a few times to make sure I hit just about everything because you are correct. The map is a pain in the arse to use.
