Respawn goes hell for leather in delivering a Star Wars Jedi console game worthy of full current-gen status, with stunning levels of ambition in terms of visual design, fully embracing ray tracing lighting and embellishing the game with lavish detail. Performance and resolution suffers as a result, meaning that the 30fps resolution mode gives more consistent results and better image quality. PS5 and Xbox Series X get the premium experience, so where does that leave Series S?
Note: This review is based on launch day code and patches are forthcoming imminently, according to Respawn.
