LOOKING BACK Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
If the Jedi way is defined by personal growth and straying away from the dark, I’d like to think that going back to videogames I didn’t initially enjoy counts as my grand journey towards becoming enlightened.

PREVIEW Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
EA and Respawn gave GameCritics a chance to preview Star Wars: Jedi Survivor last week, and we were happy to accept since the sequel to 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a hotly-anticipated title coming up on the heels of several major media pushes from the Star Wars universe. It’s the perfect storm of Star Wars synergy right now, and despite my own lapsed fandom, I was curious to see what Respawn was bringing to the table this time around.
