Movement in video games is a very interesting thing. Because when it works, you never think about it (save for when you press the wrong button…), but when it’s wonky?

There were many reasons to like Respawn Entertainment’s first foray into the galaxy far, far away. But one of the biggest ones was the freedom of movement that Cal Kestis had, which made you feel like a Jedi. Thankfully, Star Wars Jedi Survivor brings that back and lets you use it in new ways.

But you’ll get to use them in new ways to unlock new traversal methods within the title to reach new spaces! You’ll need to be precise with your movements, just like a Jedi, to reach the spots you want to reach.

Remember, some places you go to will be packed with enemies, so be ready for a scrap at any moment.
