It is most assuredly NOT my intention to subscribe to monthly Reports, and posting on the very last day of February is entirely accidental. Besides pattern laziness I finally replaced my budget components from ten years ago... with modern budget ones. Some issues persist that would probably require formatting the HDD and fresh Windows install, but I'm unwilling to do either so here we are. Playing a JRPG on the side couldn't have helped, either.

Thanks for the review. It’s probably a game I’ll never own or play, but it’s interesting to hear your impressions about it nonetheless.

Glad you liked it. If you’re interested in Souls-like games Fallen Order is ultimately a very forgiving take on that.

Damn, I need to upgrade my PC as well, it’s really getting a bit slow – thankfully most of the games I play are a bit older :D First I have to get more knowledgable on PC hardware though, I didn’t follow all the new releases of the last years too closely…

Thanks for the thorough review. I get the impression that for everything good there is something not so great in it, as is reflected in your Rating. The screenshots look fine though!

Well, I just wanted to upgrade my CPU, but that means new motherboard as well due to socket differences which in turn meant new RAM as old kit was incompatible with the new motherboard. I long dreaded upgrading.

It’s just a very solid game that doesn’t have an original bone in its body. I think the neat map is probably the best part and even that could’ve stoop to display more information to the player.

Yeah, once you start replacing a core component it’s almost always a few other things as well…that’s why I think I’ll buy a completely new PC right away. Also my casing is pretty old by now and I could do with a new one anyways. I too dread it atm though. Kudos to you for finally taking the step overcoming that :)

I feel a lot of people enjoyed it when it came out, because it was Star Wars, but I’m not even sure a lot of streamers (where I watched a bit of gameplay) finished the game…
