I suppose it was a wonderful game back then. But in 2026 it crashes often when a cinematic is going to start. Sometimes when you simply load a save. There is horrible "ssss" piercing sounds when you're close from vehicle that have their engine/thrusters active. There is visual glitches with lines coming from random elements. Sometimes wayyy too many it's crazy impossible to see through.
See this, I mean if you can:

And finally, the way the combat work is interesting, if only my range dudes were not often running in to melee to use their weapon, and take free hit. Also worth mentionning the heal from the meddic pack are really too low, and I just can't find a way to buy more. I wasn't out of them yet, unlike in Jedi Outcast. But it's still frustrating to fight hundreds of bad boys, and have to heal only my melee main character, while my two gunner-range partners are just using their last 1hp health to stay alive and keep shooting like they were full hp. A very weird way to process. See them die. And then get up with 1hp again when the fight is over.
It looks promising, but in 2026 it's not longer a good experience.
It might be because the games are too old. But it depends. If you look at Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds (2001), Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (2003), Star Wars: Battlefront (2004), Star Wars: Empire at War (2006), they are that old, and they perform nearly as good as what they used to. Still got some crash on Galactic Battlegrounds from time to time which is super annoying, forcing to save manually every 5 minutes, and when it happens you have to redo these 5 minutes again. But yeah, frustrating. I'm curious about the KOTOR remake tho.
Oh I nearly forgot to mention, how funny fix it was by the way: I couldn't make my character move after a fight, so I had to switch to another character as a first solution. But I checked to see if another one was possible. And if you enable/disable vsync, it will fix it. Like what the hell xD. How a framerate based feature, can fix such issue? It's like changing the resolution of the game would allow you to open a locked door or something xD. Anyway, just funny to mention this if you too find yourself locked in the beginning with this.
Final note, actually so much more important. I've enjoyed the story, even though I didn't enjoy playing the game. So I had to check the rest of the game, which we can with wonderful cinematic version of the game on youtube. The story is definitely awesome. BUT. Now that I know what there is in the game. Without spoiler here. WHY CAN WE CHOOSE A FEMALE CHARACTER? Even the skin color for some? Like this is breaking the storyline and adds nothing but confusion. In Jedi Academy you can create your character, because it makes 100% sense. But here, no way in hell. There is no need for character choice, at least not the look of it. Class, skills, alright. But not the look when it's part of the plot.
