One of the biggest Xbox releases of April 2023 is undoubtedly Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which will be with us in just a few short weeks on April 28th. Ahead of its release, the final previews have been going live across the web.
The good news is that, for the most part, it sounds like the highly-anticipated sequel will live up to the hype. Most critics seem to be excited by what they've played so far, albeit with some mentions that it's quite a "safe" follow-up.
Here's a roundup of some hands-on previews we've spotted:
Game Informer
"If the slice of gameplay I experienced is any indication, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a more than worthy successor to the already great Fallen Order."
Eurogamer
"Respawn has smartly worked the end of one game into the beginning of the next, but crucially the first game's campy, slightly awkward teenage charm is intact."
Kotaku
"I didn’t just feel satisfied with my time on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor; I felt a kickstarted enthusiasm for the final release and disappointment I couldn’t keep playing after I left the building."
NME
"A month from launch, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor looks like a strong, confident action-adventure game. The chunk shown to NME is a little safe, perhaps, but does that matter when it’s this fun?"
Engadget
"At the end of the preview, I left even more excited to play Star Wars Jedi: Survivor than when I first arrived at the event. I will say it does feel like a safe sequel."
GameSpot
"Survivor has its moments; here's hoping it all comes together and Respawn sticks the landing."
It sounds like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be worth a purchase for anyone who liked Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and don't forget that Xbox Game Pass members can take advantage of a 10% discount thanks to EA Play! Alternatively, physical copies are also available to pre-order:
