The return of the adventures of Cal Cestis to PC has been more than eventful. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor suffered a flawed PC port, prompting EA to admit fault.
The release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was quite mixed. On the one hand we find critics conquered by this new adventure in the universe of George Lucas, and on the other hand players annoyed by many technical problems of the different versions of the game. Among the most to be pitied, players on PC , which have enjoyed an almost unplayable version since its release due to numerous framerate drops, crashes of all kinds and wacky bugs. On this subject, the developers of Star Wars Jedi expressed themselves via a long tweet that we translate to you just below.
“We are aware that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is not performing as expected for a certain percentage of our PC players, and particularly for those with high-end or specific builds.
For example, gamers using multi-threaded chips designed for Windows 11 have issues on Windows 10, and some graphics cards paired with less capable processors experience framerate issues. Rest assured that we are working on resolving these issues as we speak.
Although there are a multitude of factors depending on the configurations, our team has worked on solutions that can be adapted to a wide range of machines. We’re committed to resolving these issues as quickly as possible, but each patch requires significant testing time to ensure it doesn’t cause new complications. We thank you for your understanding and apologize to all players experiencing these difficulties. We will share new information with you very soon. The Star Wars Jedi Team.”

For JVC (17/20), he even “managed to give us back the very essence of Star Wars, from the atmosphere to the ambition, including a cast of colorful characters”.
On the English-speaking press side, the game also fascinates enormously. For IGN, it’s a real consecration (9/10): “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes what Fallen Order achieved and wall-runs with it, then double-jumps and air-dashes straight into an epic lightsaber battle.” An original formulation that can be translated as “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes everything Fallen Order had managed to do and runs on the wall with it, then double jumps to arrive directly in an epic lightsaber fight.” In short, the game does even better than its predecessor.
Destructoid, a reference in video game evaluation, gave Star Wars Jedi: Survivor a score of 9/10. Chris Carter grants the game status “superb”, and affirms his enjoyment during his gaming sessions. especially during platforming and combat sessions.
