6x9CA
Fouttaf Score
Dimension: 6
With this type of game it's hard to know what was the scope when the development began, but seeing the actual gameplay and single player campaign we believe they went for a rather compact, straightforward action game.
The Flair: 9
The game has the most issues on the technical side. There are severe frame drops with some specific animations - mainly the ones related with the light saber - and, in general, there are some archaic movements and physics that are clearly not okay. For instance, when taking an elevator to go down, the character's body starts making tiny falls to the elevator's floor. Besides all these issues, which are more ugly than annoying to be fair, the graphics are just fine and the soundtrack, although recycled from the original movies, is great.
The Feel: C
At first it can be a bit chaotic to figure out how the force works, and there are no tutorials whatsoever. That being said, once you work it out and get familiarized with the controls, combat is very fun. The amount of possibilities within battle is generous and you truly feel like a jedi badass beating the crap out of the enemies.
The Fuel: A
The story is basically the Phantom Menace movie, although the narrative is mostly served through briefings between missions. The level design could definitely be better, but the bonus chapters fighting against other jedi are somewhat cool.
Decent

Classic Score
Conclusions
Star Wars: Obi-Wan may not be a game that honors such a famous and beloved franchise with the quality it deserves, as it has its fair share of issues. However, if you keep you expectations low and fancy a simple, straightforward action experience, you will perfectly enjoy this title.
