I was quite surprised as to how much this felt like Metroid Prime – this is definitely a 3D Metroidvania, and an awesome one at that. You play as Cal, a Jedi padawan who survived Order 66. Hiding out on a planet that salvages parts from scrapped Star Destroyers (I love that they use lots of cool designs from the prequels), he eventually gets noticed and goes on the run, before being saved by others and thrust on an adventure to find a holocron.
You will explore multiple planets, each with lots of hidden secrets (documents and parts that let you customise your lightsaber and poncho), and will encounter a charming little droid called BD-1, and you’ll unlock upgrades for him throughout the game. This, along with new force powers, will enable you to find more secrets and discover some hidden areas.
Combat is extremely good fun, with lots of different ways to tackle enemies, and a focus on dodging or blocking at the right time.
