Commenting on fallen order, I've never played a Souls game either.
It's only difficult as Skinny mentions if you crank up the difficulty. At easy (which I'm playing on) you can pretty much mash attack and you get through fights. Some of my thoughts:
- The levels are a weird hybrid between open world and linear, but they're massive. Great design as well.
- Combat itself is meh, but it's still cool because you're a jedi and you do jedi stuff. Like force pushing someone off a cliff will never get old.
- Story (so far) is standard SW stuff but still cool if you're a SW fan. Voice acting is a hit/miss, especially with the main character.
The only thing I don't like (again, so far) is that there's no real fast travel - you can travel between planets but you always start at the beginning, so if you miss a collectible at the far end of the map there's a lot of time wasted going back through a level you already beat once.
On a different note, I liked GOTG so much I gifted one to a friend for Christmas, PS4 Pro, and he said the load times are horrible. Like up to a minute if you die mid-fight. I had no idea, because on the PS5 it's near instant. Just thought it was interesting, next-gen really is next-gen, you just kind of forget it is.
I played AC Origins and Odyssey on PS4, and remember playing Valhalla on PS5 and noticing how short load times were.
