JEDI KNIGHT JEDI ACADEMY GAMEPLAY UPDATE

That should be fixed soon and then it might be a more tempting proposition, but even now it's pretty fun to shake a 'saber at strangers over the Internet. Unintentional crossplay that has console players falling victim to their more nimble mouse-wielding opponents is a little offputting. The swordplay in more recent games such as Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is better in our opinion, but there's at least an argument to be made for the more wafty and organic combat in Jedi Academy.Дecent melee combat is a feature across both solo and multiplayer, although we didn't spend too much time playing MP on PS4 while the game is inadvertently balanced towards PC players. Sometimes the physics hold up, sometimes it lacks a bit of impact, but overall you'd have to say that the combat feels good. The controls are a little floaty, which isn't helped by a relative lack of reactivity from the enemies you slice and dice, but your movement is surprisingly nuanced and offers enough control for you to feel expressive when fighting. In fact, quality lightsaber combat is probably the game's unique selling point, even after all these years.

It's certainly not without flaws and not all aspects have aged with the same grace, but we found this archaic adventure to be compelling in its own peculiar way, and the lightsaber combat still holds up pretty well. Jedi Academy, the final game in the Jedi Knight series, offers a surprisingly expansive single-player adventure that'll see you visit some truly iconic planets from Star Wars lore.

But is the Force still strong with this Aspyr update of the Raven Software original from all the way back in 2003? Following in the footsteps of Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy has returned for another round of lightsaber infused combat, this time on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.
