The general sentiment of reviews for Jedi: Survivor is a mix of praise and criticism. Many players highlighted the engaging story and diverse combat options as strong points, enhancing their connection to the Star Wars universe. However, the experience was marred by significant performance issues and poor PC optimization, which detracted from the overall enjoyment for many. Players also expressed mixed feelings about the open-world exploration and the relative value of customization rewards. Overall, while fans of the franchise found much to enjoy, technical problems and design choices prevented the game from reaching its full potential.
