Played and finished this game. I am pleasantly surprised.
The gameplay seems heavily inspired by Souls-like games, especially Sekiro.
The light saber combat is really good with Sekiro like timed deflections used to break enemy guard. There is loss of XP on death, prompting you to go and retrieve it. Resting restores health and force powers and respawns enemies, but you also have the option to save at save points without resting. Force powers are unlocked as you progress with the main campaign and involve pushing, pulling or slowing enemies.
Story is also much better than I expected. All characters are well written and voice acted. Also, some well known characters appear in the game, including Saw Gerrera from the Rogue One movie. World design is also looks authentic to Star Wars.
IMO, must play for Star Wars and souls-like fans.
