Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Should Give Cal New Force Powers

gamerant.com:

As Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was one of the best video game adaptations in the franchise'shistory, fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of its sequel Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. With Cal, BD-1, and the Mantis crew an established part of Star Wars canon, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor already has high expectations.

While little has been revealed about this sequel, the first trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor reinvigorated interest in the series. However, sequels are always a tricky balance. Keeping what fans loved while making the game feel new is difficult, as many other franchises have realized. If Respawn Entertainment wants to maintain the success of the first game while telling a new story, Cal’s Force powers will be an essential part of that formula.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Action Figure Makes Cal Look More Like Han Solo Than a Jedi

One of the best parts of Fallen Order was the Force powers that Cal acquired throughout the game. The way players could use the Force to interact with the environment and engage in dynamic Force combat was revolutionary. No other Star Wars game has been able to effectively capture the appeal of wielding the Force quite as well.

Using Force Slow, Cal could slow down fast-moving machinery he needed to get around, or slow down a group of enemies before cutting them down with his lightsaber. Force Push and Pull allowed Cal to move objects he couldn’t otherwise lift to reach new areas of the map, while providing a powerful way to handle foes. There are few things more quintessentially Star Wars than Force Pushing stormtroopers off of ledges. The rest of Cal’s Force powers, such as wall running and double jump, were more important for exploration than combat, but still enjoyable nonetheless.
