amazing game. hard to play. frequent crashes and stuck at 30fps. got to a point where the game crashes every time i try to load my save. unplayable at this point. again, amazing game, just horrible performance on pc.

Game is literally unplayable. And I don't mean in the typical "bad framerates, glitches, poor optimization" sense. I mean the game will crash, without fail, every time you try to watch the first cutscene of the game. Yes it technically can be skipped but you shouldn't have to skip content just to avoid crashes. And even then it doesn't matter because I've never finished Kamino. Play this on literally any other …

This game said: “what if we do the same thing again…but faster?” You’re still a walking force disaster, still throwing people around like ragdolls. Just…over a lot quicker. Not that impactfull like the first one. Still fun to throw enemies around like nothing, just wish there was more of it.

Bring these games back already, ffs. The newer Jedi games are fine, but The Force Unleashed is superior in almost every way. Sure, the newer titles look slick—but they feel generic and restrictive by comparison (yes, I know some limitations are intentional). Ever since Disney took over, they've played it safe instead of taking risks and creating memorable experiences. The Force Unleashed had its own unique identity: …

The textures disappear sometimes and it crashes every 20-30 minutes and sometimes the cutscenes just don’t play. On steam deck it’s a different story. It plays really well and I haven’t experienced a crash yet. Overall the game is good and the gameplay is fun. The story (sadly) is mediocre and feels rushed. But if you liked the first game you probably…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The thumbs down is mostly for the awful PC port; it really broke the immersion of my playtime. Crashes, freezes, glitches, screen tearing (which I couldn't solve no matter how I tried), after some time cutscenes didn't play (might help you if you set WMP as default, or at the beginning of the final mission, I had to play it in border mode to start to play it, because it just repeated the first 15 seconds), so I have had a large variety of technical issues. Should/could have been fixed and…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For as long as I've been playing I wanted to give the game a thumbs up. The state of the game though is appaling. Think about it: this game could be amazing. A great combat system. CGI cutscenes that look great to this day. Being the most overpowered force user ever. Euphoria physics. Throwing enemies around. Having enemies sucked out to outer space. The list goes on. The game is that good. The problems start as soon as you turn the resolution up from 720p, which is a peasant resolution. But…

It could be a good game, but I'll never know. This shouldn't be allowed to be sold on steam in this condition, do not buy this

It's a shame the third game was cancelled. a remake of both would be interesting, but it'll never happen. also the game is locked at 30 fps again and there are no trophies, AGAIN.

neutral · AI labelView post →THIS GAME IS BROKEN, DO NOT PURCHASE! I have tried numerous fixes for this game, but it does not run on most modern hardware and neither the developer nor Steam seem to have any interest in fixing it. There is a chance this could potentially work for you, however myself and most other players cannot run it no matter what they try.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent game, but it crashes often. I had to play in 1920x1080 in windowed mode and disable cutscenes by using appdata editor to find the config file and edit it in notepad. It still kept crashing after most cutscenes, but it saved, so I was able to restart the game and eventually finish it. 4/10. Also no DLC on PC, unlike Xbox 360 or PS3 :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you can get the game to work without crashing then its fine a lot like the last game but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this piece of ♥♥♥♥ crashed like 20 times and thats with me trying to fix it after each. 4/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A textbook definition of a repetitive, blatant cash grab. While the first game had heart and a compelling arc, this sequel feels like a glorified DLC expansion sold at full price. The "story" is over in four hours, the combat is mindless button-mashing against the same three enemy types, and the level design is a series of redundant corridors. It’s clear LucasArts prioritized a quick turnaround over quality. Save your money—this is the shortest, shallowest way to experience the Force.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my favourite Star Wars games ever. It's pure power fantasy from start to finish with you obliterating the Empire with your lightsaber and all sorts of amazing force powers. There's some additional challenges that can be challenging to get a gold medal on but give you good rewards. Noteworthy things to mention though: 1) I recommend getting the game on sale. While it is fun (at least imo) it's super short and doesn't have much replayability. 2) The PC port has notorious crashing issues.…

Yes its incredibly short and very fanservice-y but it has a charm to it. A lot of the dialogue is still usually well written (especially between Kota and Starkiller) and the main plot of him being a clone or not still leaves a lot up to interpretation. Its still a good game to pick up and try on a sale, the gameplay holds up fairly well. I just wish they'd port the DLC to PC. Again this is…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT get this game. Playing this on a modern PC is a crash fest. Had to turn off cutscenes in the folders just for it to stop crashing for a bit, it crashed every couple minutes on the last mission making it unplayable. Counted over 15 crashes in less than 30 minutes just on the last mission, not counting the countless crashes throughout the game. Unless you are on Windows 7 or want to play around fixing the game with patches and stuff ( not worth it for this game) do not bother and waste…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II improves a lot on the gameplay side. The graphics are much better, the combat feels smoother, and lightsaber fights are way more satisfying and realistic this time around. Overall, it’s a big step up from the first game in terms of how it plays. Unfortunately, I can’t really recommend it in its current state on Windows. The game barely runs properly. I was getting crashes every 10-15 minutes and only managed to get through about half of it. Ironically, it…

While The Force Unleashed 2 still delivers the same over-the-top Force powers that made the first game fun, almost everything else feels like a step backwards. The campaign is incredibly short, the level design is repetitive, and the story feels rushed and unfinished. There are a few cool moments, but the game never really develops its ideas before the credits roll. It honestly feels like there should have been a lot more content here. Combat is still…
