So i’ve grabbed a month of EA Play because it’s probably first and last time in my life then i give them any amount of money . I can say that for 0.80 eu cents i paid for it it’s an amazing value , that said even for a full price of 4 euros is still worth a go.
Games i’ve tried :
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a really solid game and i had decent amount of fun with it. With it’s reasonable length it doesnt over stay it’s welcome and doesnt get old . Production values are over the top which is to be expected from EA published game and while it has some technical issues tied to it’s engine it ran reasonably well for me.
Only thing which didint really fly with me was just haphazardly implementing some of the Soulsborne mechanics which honestly didint add anything to the game and seemed there only to tick a popular box of ‘souslike’.
Other than that a solid one time experience ( not much reasons to replay it ) which can last you anywhere from 15 to 30 hours depending on difficulty you go with and if you choose to go after collectibles.
7.5/10
Titanfall 2 was second game i’ve took upon trying out and i would say that i was pleasantly surprised by it but i’ve heard that it has a very short but dense and all thrill no fills single player campaign and it certainly does.
I’ve flied through it in 5.5 hours ( and that;s on hardest difficulty ) so it really is very short campaign and if i would to be buy this for full price i would be sort of disappointed but keeping in mind i just ‘rented’ it for less than a euro i was really pleased with what i got.
It runs super smooth, wall running and gunplay is very easy and intuitive to get into and while story is really barebones it’s short enough and packed with enough different set pieces that not a single minute of it was boring.
Only negative i can point out that it has some weird issues with directional sound there you need to look directly look at sound source to hear it . It’s not intended that way but i’ve found other people complaining about same issues i had . It didint hurt singleplayer experience too much and with campaign so short i didint really bother looking for the fix.
8.5/10 for singleplayer . Didint try multiplayer at all.
Star Wars Battlefront II was again picked solely for the single player campaign and i was quite underwhelmed by it . You guys remember how in yester year multiplayer portion of a fps game was mostly made from singleplayer maps altered in some way to fit multiplayer? Now imagine the opposite .
Singleplayer campaign of Battlefront 2 seems like it was made form multiplayer maps . It has this super cheap feeling of playing multiplayer maps with bots with some cutscenes in between.
To game’s credit it does run very well and has very pleasant gunplay but it was so dull i simply dropped it after couple of hours.
5/10 . If you buy this for a MP and SP is just a bonus for you then it’s perfectly fine but buying this for a SP would be a huge disappointment indeed.
Currently i’m checking Unravel and A Way Out so i’ll maybe toss some of my opinions here about them later
Cheers.
