Zeffo. Dathomir is one of the harder planets. But you can do a short stop after Zeffo to get a nice upgrade for something (it's in the starting area).
I tried Dathomir first and left to go to Zeffo. It's really quite difficult early on.
Now that you mention it, I've been playing for ages and I haven't found a single new color.
I don't know, I don't think you can check your playtime on PS4. Probably somewhere around 15-20 hours if I had to guess?
Ice cave... Also very confusing and this thing keeps happening all the freaking time through the game.
So, you are supposed to come back to these planets later in the main quest, right? Seems like there's a lot of ground to be explored and the game is directing me to another planet anyway.
Very much enjoying the game, but I wish there was more customization. Exploration would be more satisfying if it lead to meaningful upgrades instead of pointless lightsaber cosmetics. Would be great if they introduced mods that changed your lightsaber's stats. Oh well, maybe in the sequel.

You don't have to parry. Just normal blocking and then attacking after the enemy opens themselves up after one of their attacks - that strategy works against most of the enemies in the game, humanoid or creature
Yes, the game gives you main quest reasons to return to planets later on with more abilities, so you don't have to go out of your way to return to these planets to check out the newly available areas
It's funny, when God of War 2018 came out, a lot of people gave it shit for the "unnecessary, tacked on" RPG and gear elements, but when they're missing in a big modern game like this or Sekiro, you see just how important they are to that persistent feeling of gradually making progress.

It seems the developers fundamentally misunderstood the function of bonfires in Soulsborne. Literally one of the worst mechanics in the game next to the borked parrying.
The game told me this when I chose there first and I said, "fuck you, I beat Sekiro." They were slightly right, it was a difficult area for a starter but I quickly learned what to do and mowed through until I got to the dead end and had to leave the planet. Why even give us Dathomir as a choice so early on if you can't even progress in it beyond the first area?

and it shows!
i'm doing fine, but just playing cheesy and dont feel like i'm taking advantage of only a fraction of the tools available to me.
You can beat him easily. I got wrecked the first try, then realized he was piss easy if you just stood close and dodged after every strike.
The obvious reason, which I'm sure you know, is to give the option of getting a particular upgrade early in the game. The other reason is because there's some story elements on Dothemir, that are first presented in the first areas of that planet, that become quite important later on. Allowing those to be introduced earlier make them seem far less convenient than if they were introduced in the main story only when they become relevant.
I genuinely cant believe there aren't any Jedi Robe cosmetics in the game, they missed a step on that one, also they could have added some movie lightsabers into the game, other than that, this is an awesome game, and I haven't completed it yet so I have no idea if it leads to a sequel or a trilogy but man as a starting game I would love to see a Cal Kestis trilogy.
I expected the game to keep going, then the credits rolled. I didn't mind the ending but there is a lot of sequel baiting.
There are absolutely lightsaber parts in the game that are modelled after Luke's, Obi-Wan's, Darth Vader's lightsabers, etc
Not really. All of the major beats of a cohesive three act structure are present and executed extremely well, and the story reaches its logical conclusion, albeit not in the way that is initially expected.
Yeah I don't actually mind the idea of only cosmetics being hidden in the world since RPG-esque upgrades and component parts can just be a whole can of worms that some games are better off without. That said I also wish the cosmetics were better. I get wanting to maintain a core silhouette (poncho over work vest suit) but the could have done a lot more. At least have different models or armor pieces or stuff like this. So many cool designs in the Star Wars universe but the cosmetics here are kind of all just the same.
I still explore for the intrinsic enjoyment of uncovering more of the map, but it's definitely a slight bummer that when I see a hard to reach chest I just know it's gonna be some new switch for my lightsaber or other cosmetic that I really can't even notice when I equip it.
I think if they didn't want to go the RPG route (which is fine!) the game could have really benefitted from some quick use consumables, like thermal detonators, force refills, temporary damage buffs, and stuff like that. It would at least provide a good reason to explore, in terms of mechanics.
I agree, the game feel very linear and not very intresting out side of story progression. It needed another layer of coloectabilty or challenges to make it feel a bit more fleshed out, side missions, costumes, moves, bosses, Items, stats and such. something I hope they improve on in the eventual sequel.
Did you pay attention at all to the last act of the story? They bring up multiple times why it would be a bad idea to actually use the Holocron to restart the Jedi Order.
Huh ?
there's a metric ton of bosses in this game, particularly when you reach a certain point in the story, then you get random ones on the planets
You're not playing right if you think force powers have rather weak results. You straight up one shot most of the little creatures with enhanced push for instance
Sorry but Grandmaster is actually souls with lightsabers, since you cant really use the force all that much until you get the heal upgrade in the skill tree that fills entirely your force gauge each time you're using a stim. Doing executions don't really fill your gauge until you get the "+ force on hit" upgrade in the skill tree as well
Like the whole point in GM is to dodge / parry and chip away either health or stamina as efficiently as possible, but you can't really toy with the force as creatively and as often than in Jedi master. It genuinely feels like a completely different game, to a quite baffling extent.
Like seriously Jedi master is almost a mindless (but rad) beat em all with a ressource to manage in order to do cool shit when you're not dealing with bosses. There's a defense meter for some enemies that you can break which in turn enables you to do finishers. Its super fun, don't get me wrong, but really not the same lol
Thanks!
And yeah, I agree with you, especially when we are talking about 20+ hours long campaigns that need to keep you engaged for a long time.
how about dual vs single light saber? obviously the game points out the dual saber is great for crowd control, but it seems better to the single blade in every way (except perhaps responsiveness in blocking/reflecting fire?)
The main thing is that the tougher enemies require more than one parry to get through their block. They've got a block bar under their life bar that will go down as they block or as you parry them, and when that empties you can get free hits. As far as I can tell you get a certain number of hits, and so consider using the strong attack here instead of the weak one.
Otherwise most of the enemies will be vulnerable for a little bit after they get through an attack rotation and especially after they do a red attack.
The dodge-kick skill is really useful against some enemies -- it breaks their block instantly. It only seems to work when you're locked on.
I stuck to the single saber for almost everything -- it does more damage per hit. The dual saber is fantastic for when four stormtroopers pop up and start shooting at you though, since it can reflect everything back instead of just one shot.
Funny you mention that, when you get the powerful moves, the single lightsaber's one is a crowd control attack while the double lightsaber is a high single target damage one lol
I was hoping the lightsaber customization would have some influence on gameplay, feels pointless to have several parts for it otherwise.
Was fighting the optional rabid boss on Zeffo and definitely couldn't. Normally with those things you can but because it's faster you get hit again before the game returns control to you.
Ahh thanks for the info!
I know that the low tier enemies are much easier to insta kill with parries, but the purge troopers I always thought you had to perfect parry multiple times...
That one felt really messy to me. But I'm not great at these games, Sekiro was something I could not get through. Could also be my PC being on the lower end and just general annoyance with some of the games systems.
I would love to have some fun with the force powers but they are always empty.
What is the "stim amount" you had/have when you reached this point?
Maybe I have to look for more, 3 feels a bit on the low end.
Cause
Cause there is an item you can get without needing powers thats nice to have early on.

How do I reach that chest up there in Bogano in that area with the hanging big ball? Also three of those big fans below.
You get the necessary abilities to get it later in the game
It's been out a day when you posted this and you wanted it done with. Stop playing if you don't like it.
Ha totally been there. I wish I could help but I haven't picked it up yet but if it is anything like Souls / Sekiro spend the time mastering dodge / block mechanics. It will always make your life a million times better if you put the time into getting that down.
I'll go explore some more, because I also can't open the chest at that cave boss beast. I need to do something first. The story wants me to go back to the ship but I'm gonna explore more first.
Yeah I think it needs more unlocks in general and a new game plus mode that at the very least carries over the costmetics you've earned. Some DLC I'd like to see post release are character packs like TFU had so you can play through the campaign as somebody completely different like Luke, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Rey, Kylo Ren etc. I don't care if it looks goofy in cutscenes it would just be fun to play through as them.
There's no greater feeling in this game when purge troopers wanna fight you and you just push em off the ledge.
I am loving this game but WOW fuck the
Rabid Albiono Jotaz. Get stun-locked and you are a basically dead. This thing is pissing me off.
I've got no problem with that, assuming they have enough time to polish the sequel properly. I'm genuinely really enjoying this, but it definitely needed another few months of polish.
It's not very often I read an OT on this site and come away not knowing if a game is actually any good or not,lol.
I guess I'll just pick it up cheap or even wait till PS5 given it drops to 720p on base PS4.
