Steam tells me I’ve been enjoying Respawn’s new Star Wars sport, Fallen Order sequel Jedi Survivor, for practically 20 hours now. I’ve barely gotten into it in that point—and never as a result of Survivor is a vastly larger sport than its predecessor, although it’s certainly that. It’s as a result of I can not cease dressing up, and taking photos of, its hero, Cal Kestis.
Survivor is expansive in ways in which make Fallen Order really feel virtually quaintly small compared, however one of the enjoyable methods it goes past the unique is that it’s, at its coronary heart, a dolly dress-up sport for Star Wars followers—the varieties of people that would inform themselves as some kind of perceived risk to their identification that they’d by no means play dolly dress-up, however completely will when mentioned dolly is a Jedi Knight who appears to be like like Cameron Monaghan from Gotham. Beforehand, Fallen Order allowed gamers to customise Cal in numerous, albeit restricted methods—you can tweak components of his lightsaber to your coronary heart’s content material, however Cal himself was restricted to picking between totally different ponchos and between numerous colorations of his default gear.
Jedi Survivor, however, goes above and past this. Not solely are Cal’s garments changeable—damaged down into particular person mixed-and-matched classes of jackets and high layers, undershirts, and trousers, after which numerous colorways—however Cal himself will be given a trim and shave via numerous hair and facial hair kinds present in your travels exploring the galaxy. With lots of upon hundred of potential combos, and that’s even earlier than you get into all of the permutations your weapons and even droid companion BD-1 may also have, for me not less than it means Jedi Survivor is now not a sport a few lone warrior’s battle in opposition to the rise of the Empire, however one which asks me an essential query: can I make the prettiest Cal Kestis the galaxy has ever seen, after which take numerous fancy images of him like I’m conducting a digital Vogue cowl shoot for the holonet?
The reply, in my 20 hours of “enjoying” up to now, is a convincing sure, as you’ll see from the gallery of hooked up screenshots from my shoots throughout the galaxy far, distant. However what about you? What has your Cal Kestis appeared like as you’ve progressed via Jedi Survivor’s story—and has deciding that look rooted you in resolution paralysis as a lot because it has me? Tell us within the feedback with your personal screenshots!
